Random Headcanon: The bit where character A walks into a room and finds character B entangled in some utterly ludicrous situation, and after a long, awkward pause, B calmly states “okay, I can explain” is a popular trope in both human and Vulcan comedy, albeit for totally different reasons.
What would the reason be for Vulcans?
One of the major genres of Vulcan comedy consists of long, complicated explanations or debates establishing that something absurd is, though a series of unlikely contrivances, actually perfectly logical. The moment of comedic catharsis arrives when the audience realises that some seemingly innocuous assumption they’d made about what’s going on is wildly incorrect.
I’m apparently Vulcan.
For me…
ADHD is sitting in the dining hall with my friends and being able to tune into every other conversation besides the one at my own table.
ADHD is having a thought, opening my phone to follow through with it, and completely blanking on why my phone is now unlocked.
ADHD is procrastinating a 10+ page paper because something tells me I just can’t work on it right now, or I have way more time and there’s no reason to do it.
ADHD is making too many ridiculous connections in my head, then losing the conversation because I just went on such a different train of thought.
ADHD is being able to invest myself in 4 hours of tv/movies but not being able to sit down and do 5 minutes of necessary paperwork.

Anonymous asked: could you write a tiny love letter to humanity?
THINGS I CURRENTLY LOVE ABOUT HUMANITY, A LIST
- The way brake lights flicker through the bare limbs of trees out the window of my apartment
- the soft grinding of the CTA line as it passes into night, carrying unknown individuals pats, to the dark
- our downstairs neighbors as they have soft, languorous sex, gently rattling our china cabinet as their headboard slams against the wall
- My criminal law professor, who (despite a rough, emotionally-scarring military and prosecutorial past) articulates the necessity of being open to criticism as “if I alienate you from learning, I have failed as a professor”
- the very gentle inquiries into what we’re all doing for spring break, the necessity of sunshine and/or our mothers’ cooking
- Talking about work/life balance with other law students, some of whom believe in nothing of the sort, and others who harbor that spark of romanticism, that love can be found in a desperate place
- How much people still long for external approval, even into their thirties and foties, so much as to be braggarts, desperate for external approval from law students ten to fifteen years their junior.
- You are never really not that person you were at twelve and thirteen. It will all be a little easier if you love them gently, and with kindness.
