no libraries, no weatherproof third spaces that aren't malls or cafes, little investment into afterschool programs or sports that aren't basketball (and even then it's a streetside or improvised court someplace), next to no support for budding artists and creatives
Having ADHD means your vocabulary is either:
- toddler-level (“thingy”)
- Pulitzer Prize Finalist (“existential dissonance”)
or a happy little chaotic mashup of both with a little class and a lot of sass.
cat laziness is so contagious. you'll see your cat flopped on its back in your bed a completely comfy cozy baby and you'l be like. you're right. you make a compelling argument.
I just reviewed the morning routine of a 36-year-old working mom with ADHD.
The way she described her 6:30 AM wake-up explained executive dysfunction better than any medical textbook.
She said:
THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS LET THIS WORLD STEAL YOUR WHIMSY. PROTECT YOUR WHIMSY AT ALL COST. DON’T LET THESE JOYLESS MOTHERFUCKERS STEAL YOUR MAGIC.
This comeback, I've seen so many people just casually observe that one of the reasons BTS is successful and that they can experiment across genres is that they have a vocal line stacked with talent. They have real, unique, talented singers. Since BTS debuted, the rap line has been an unquestionable force in the industry, talent-wise, and no one has ever (seriously) questioned that. So it's just satisfying to hear ARIRANG making people say out loud what we all know...BTS is a group full of god-tier vocalists and that gives them a lot of flexibility and range in their discography.
I know we all appreciate it but gosh we are just so lucky to have four such distinct and powerful singers. Each of them have voices that shock and melt you but none of them sound anything like each other. Some groups are lucky if they have ONE. We have FOUR. That's crazy.
