what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck

Ok, let's break down dyscalculia, the math-related learning disability that no one knows or talks about:

- it doesn't just affect math! dyscalculia can make it difficult to hold a rhythm, dance, perceive accurate depth perception, keep a consistent driving speed, be on time for events, remember names, or remember whose turn it is in games

- as a kid, you may have learned multiplication facts only to completely forget them soon after, no matter how much you practiced

- you may struggle to read analog clocks, count on your fingers, use calculators for basic things, get extreme anxiety while doing math, struggle to read a tape measure, have to count the dots on a dice every time, and avoid games that require any sequence-based motor skills like fighting games, just dance, guitar hero, etc

- an estimated 4-7% of kids have it, which means 1-2 kids per classroom

- in an MRI, people with dyscalculia doing a math problem use less efficient parts of their brain and bypass parts of the brain associated with calculations

- people with dyslexia are WAY more likely to also have dyscalculia, and it frequently coincides with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence

- it is the least understood and least diagnosed of all learning disabilities, in part because of the common belief that "everyone is bad at math"

here is a good online test to assess if you show signs of dyscalculia

AUDHD is Horrific

and People Don’t Talk About It Enough

Sometimes I wish people understood what it actually feels like to live with AUDHD the combination of Autism and ADHD. It’s not quirky, it’s not “cute,” and it’s definitely not just being distracted or socially awkward. It’s a daily battle inside your own mind, and most of the world never sees the internal exhaustion behind it.

Living with AUDHD means having a brain that can’t decide whether it wants absolute structure or total chaos. One moment you’re overstimulated to the point of shutting down, and the next moment you’re stuck in a spiral of hyperactivity and racing thoughts. You crave routine but get bored of it. You want to focus but your brain refuses to cooperate. You want calm, but everything feels too loud, too bright, too fast.

People see the outside the forgetfulness, the fidgeting, the sensitivity, the intense interests and they assume it’s manageable. But they don’t see the burnout that hits without warning. They don’t feel the sensory overload that makes small things feel unbearable. They don’t experience the guilt of wanting to do things but being unable to start, or the frustration of trying your absolute best while still being labeled “lazy,” “dramatic,” or “unmotivated.”

And the worst part is the loneliness. Because AUDHD often makes you feel “too much” for everyone. Too sensitive, too emotional, too intense, too overwhelmed. So you learn to mask. You pretend you’re fine. You try to act “normal,” even when your brain is screaming.

But here’s the truth: AUDHD is not a character flaw. It’s not a choice. It’s a reality that deserves understanding, compassion, and awareness. People who live with it are fighting battles every single day and doing it quietly.

If you know someone with AUDHD, be kind. Be patient. Believe them. Support matters more than you realize.

a really really really underrated feeling in learning a different language is when you start to hear words. as in it's no longer a string of sounds, you can parse through where words start and stop as you're hearing them. even words that you don't know what they mean yet but you can distinctly hear it as a whole word

[tsunflowers]

I’m reading this book about the changing arctic and the author stayed with the Nunamiut people of inland alaska for a while and talked to this high school kid who was like “ugh I hate going to school in the spring I wish I was hunting caribou” and I thought that was charming. you often hear about people who are devoted to preserving their traditional culture and knowledge but it’s rare to hear about someone who’s invested in the old ways out of pure teenage selfishness. school is lame and hunting caribou is awesome

driving me insane that the inscription in marcus aurelius is to "my truest love" like "my dearest love" would have been sad enough but TRUEST... the whole show is about the illusions and the falsehoods that prop up power and flint is so good at using them. but he was once someone's truest love. the least false. in this world that runs on lies and stories and theater there was once something true. and it was destroyed. i get why flint is like that now i'd go fucking crazy too

since you reblogged a couple odyssey posts lately, i thought you might wanna know i keep seeing people talk about the best odyssey adaptations on twitter and reddit and several people have said persuasion, i even saw a substack article about it! not an angle i’d considered before but after seeing the evidence i’m kinda convinced austen used it as an inspiration tbh!

:O

I’m shocked I never thought of it before but you know what? Valid. Man at war for years, returns to where his love interest is and the success of their relationship hinges on them recognizing each other.

@eurekavalley - ahh it so is!!! I always thought it was a little joke on the word “laconic” because there were few words between Anne and Wentworth while Wentworth was on the ship but I think this is really it! It’s a classical reference.

Where was Wentworth? At war. What Greek city state was known for war and warrior customs? Sparta. Wentworth is within a militaristic world why not say he is in Laconia / a warring state the whole time he’s separated from Anne!!!!

Jane Austen was just so fucking clever. It is insane to me that after all these years of thinking about her books there is still new cool stuff to discover!!!
