calling out for my mom in a moment of extreme pain and terror, but taking an aside to explain to the audience that i mean i want the concept of a mother as caregiver and protector to defend and rescue me rather than my literal mom, whose presence would neither bring me comfort nor improve the situation

i would like to make you aware of a TikTok phenomenon my friend alerted me to (i don't use the platform myself) that i think is (accidentally?) a brilliant piece of art. this is a video using kate bush's song "army dreamers" and also an audio clip from VAL and Carson's last conversation, where the person on screen mouths along to "i wanted to be a ballerina" "a ballerina?" "yes--they retire young, ballerinas," (1 of 2, character limits)

(2 of 2, character limits) but the words onscreen are about having wanted to join the army to feel powerful and giving up that dream in favor of, as far as I can tell, a relationship. given the oft-contextless nature of TikTok audio clips, i imagine this person--and apparently there was more than one person using this clip to talk abt having wanted to join the army!--had no idea of the context. which loops right back around to VAL's enlistment as a desperately naive bid for her mother's approval

I have seen some of these TikToks, although not the army-focused ones - a lot of them seem to be about either applying the dialogue to their favourite characters or miming it while in their own character's cosplay? - and I cannot overstate how much I do not get it (I don't mean this disparagingly, I just don't understand), but it's extremely cool and lovely that it happened, and a much-deserved testament to Marta and Rhys' acting, and I hope that some people who watched the videos ended up checking out the longer scene, because I feel like the audio clip ends right as it's getting juicy.

went to an elementaryschool musical production and they started the show with the director saying: "Now there's some very small viewers here today, so just so you know. There will be a scary character later in the show. This is her," and a girl in a kinda scary ghost outfit did a creepy walk across the stage, the stood up straight and did a cheery wave, "but remember, it's just Nina. She's pretending to be scary."

Aaaand i would very much like for horror movies to have that as a little bonus feature you can chose. Let me start a movie with Guillermo del Toro showing me a scary ghost that might jump at me, but don't worry, thats just Doug!

The real thing with ADHD is not "I forgot", but that forgetting is this ongoing process. I remembered! And then I forgot.

At ten this (hypothetical) morning I remembered that I have a meeting at six. And then from 11 through 3 I worked on other stuff and had zero thoughts about that meeting. Maybe even thought about what I was gonna do with my evening at home. Got attached to the idea of taking the time to make a good dinner, maybe play some video games.

And then at three I said, "Oh! Fuck!" and remembered again, hopefully long enough to set an alarm. And then I went to the bathroom and remembered that I need to clean the counter and spent twenty minutes cleaning the bathroom and went to get a snack and then at five I said, "OH! FUCK!" and had to scramble to dress like a real adult and get out the door.

It isn't one clean forgetting. It's a constant process of forgetting and then, with an exhausting adrenaline spike, remembering. And then forgetting. Baby, I can forget the same thing more times in a day than you ever forgot your parents' anniversary.

Family isn't always two parents and their children. Sometimes family is a middle-aged woman who is losing her faith in an ancient god, an over-zealous convert, and their kidnapped hostage.
