It's finally 2020...

And as we ring in the new year, I just wanted to share something that hit me tonight:

I was watching the live ball drop On ABC in America, and like most telegraphic holiday celebrations in America, there are artists who perform some of their songs.

Well in New Orleans, Usher performed some of his hits from the past bi-decade. Well I noticed something.

My picture isn't too great, but Usher's outfit kinda looks a bit like Carmen Sandiego's.

I just thought I'd share this flash from the past. Have a good day/night wherever you are :D

some ADHD things (?)

(can also be autism or borderline things)

having a single word stuck in your head

either having a new intense obsession every week or obsessing over something for the next 1-2 years

getting really pissed when someone tells you about plans that involve you the day right before the event instead of at least four days prior

concentrating? what is that?

not being able to listen to someone because your brain is focusing on that one noise in the background

daydreaming tm

feeling so hurt by criticism you either get send into self-hate-zone or let’s-not-talk-to-that-bad-person-ever-again-zone

“I don’t know”

doing 5 things at the same time because how else are you supposed to do anything ever?

talking too loudly without noticing

not being able to tell if you’re sad or just bored

when that one person you’re weirdly attached to and whose approval you’re dependant on makes a mean joke or acts a bit cold towards you you want to fucking die

people telling you to calm down tm

the mood swings

wait.. your brain is supposed to remember stuff??

going through an identity crisis and wanting to change your whole personality every few weeks

not knowing who you are and what you’re like for the majority of your life

either listening to the same song for 5 hours straight or listening to the first minute of every song that comes on during shuffle

fidgetting with pens, playing with your hair or bouncing your legs during school or when you’re trying to do homework

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

take a break from the internet

go on a walk or bike ride outside

close your eyes and breathe deeply

write a story or do journalling

hide under your blankets for a while

light a candle or smell something pleasant

listen to rain or white noise

nurture a plant or pet an animal

drink something warm

paint a picture or do some coloring

touch something soft or hug something

look at nature or the scenery from your window

remember the good things in life

“Call Me Maybe” with every other beat removed

[crazeinsanity]

Why didn't we hear ANYTHING about Alice in History Classes? SHE WAS A TOTAL BADASS.

favorite presidential kid? probably alice roosevelt.

-her mother died two days after she was born and on the same day her maternal grandmother also died. teddy was so sad that he left his newborn daughter with his sister anna for two years and could never bring himself to say his wife’s name so alice who was named after her mother had to be called “lee”, her middle name.

-when teddy remarried, alice’s stepmom edith made it clear that she thought alice’s mom had been beautiful but dumb. when alice’s parents couldn’t handle her anymore, they sent her to her aunt anna’s. according to alice, “If auntie Bye had been a man, she would have been president”. alice claimed to feel one-sixth as loved as her five half-siblings.

-then alice got polio which at the time could kill, not to mention cripple. her stepmom put her through an uncompromising regimen of nightly forced wearing of torturous leg braces and shoes, which left alice with no trace of the disability and able to run up stairs and touch her nose with her toe well into her 80s.

-alice’s dad and stepmom tried to send her to a conservative girls’ school but alice wrote home, “If you send me I will humiliate you. I will do something that will shame you. I tell you I will”.

-when teddy became president in 1901, alice became an instant celebrity and fashion icon at age 17. she did scandalous things like smoking cigarettes in public, riding in cars with men, staying out late partying, keeping a pet snake (called emily spinach) in the white house, and placing bets with a bookie. 

-she even had a color - alice blue - and a song - alice blue gown - named after her. the press called her princess alice.

-during an imperial cruise to japan, alice jumped into a pool fully dressed and coaxed a congressman in to join her.

-one time a white house visitor commented on alice’s frequent interruptions in the oval office, usually with political advice. after the third interruption, teddy explained, “I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both”.

-in february 1906, alice married congressman nicholas longworth and was the social event of the season. it was attended by more than a thousand guests and thousands gathered outside hoping for a glance of princess alice. she wore a blue wedding dress and cut the wedding cake with a sword.

-alice publicly supported her dad’s 1912 presidential candidate while her husband supported president taft. alice appeared on stage in her husband’s own district with her dad’s vp candidate. longworth lost by 105 votes and alice joked that she was worth at least 100 votes (meaning she was the reason he lost).

-alice’s campaign against her husband caused a friction in their marriage and longworth was known to be carrying on many affairs. it was also generally accepted knowledge in dc that alice had a long, ongoing affair with senator william borah, who by alice’s own admission was the father of her daughter, paulina. alice had a wicked sense of humor and had initially wanted to name her daughter deborah (as in de Borah).

-after the death of her daughter paulina in 1957, alice fought for and won custody of her granddaughter joanna. 

-in the 1950s, alice’s health began to fail her and she broke a hip. she also discovered she was suffering from breast cancer and had to have two mastectomies. in 1960, alice was diagnosed with emphysema. 

-alice was also a champion of rights for african-americans. one day, in 1965, alice’s african-american chauffeur and good friend, turner, was driving her to an appointment. turner pulled out in front of a taxi and the driver yelled at him, “What do you think you’re doing, you black bastard?” turner stayed calm but alice told the taxi driver, “He’s taking me to my destination, you white son of a bitch!”

-after many years of ill health, alice died of emphysema and pneumonia at age 96, outliving all five of her younger half-siblings.

-her most famous quote was, “If you haven’t got anything good to say about anybody, come sit next to me”. 

-when senator joseph mccarthy joked at a party, “Here’s my blind date. I am going to call you Alice”, she replied, “Senator McCarthy, you are not going to call me Alice. The trashman and the policeman on my block call me Alice, but you may not”. 

-she told president lyndon b. johnson that she wore wide-brimmed hats so he couldn’t kiss her.

-when a kkk member dressed in full costume asked her to trust his word, she said, “I never trust a man under sheets”.

so in summary, alice roosevelt longworth was badass.

this is her:
