  • To be fair, the meme shows her ( Kim Yeji of South Korea) from a tense angle, unlike the one from her original viral pic

    Also, afaik, they both won silver and she broke the Olympic record before her compatriot Oh Ye Jin broke THAT record to take the gold.

    Basically, they’re super cool in each their way, he’s just older and prefers regular glasses over the actually pretty standard for the sport headgear she sports.

    Bonus info: that cute plush elephant she has hanging from her belt? That belongs to her 5yo daughter back in South Korea.

    I highly recommend this The Athletic piece about her.

    One last bit of trivia: the author shares a name with a New Girl character and it’s not Coach 😛




  • Also should be underlined that ADHD is sometimes called an “invisible handicap” because a lot of the symptoms are just much worse versions of things neurotypicals deal with too.

    Example: everyone can have trouble motivating themselves for a task they’re not passionate about. With ADHD’s innate dopamine deficiency,it can be literally impossible without proper coping tools and/or meds, sometimes no matter what.

    A possibly useful analogy would be that sometimes the hill that someone neurotypical has to climb is a mountain for someone with ADHD or similar challenges. Not every neurotypical person understands that their hill can be a mountain or that the person with ADHD can only scale it with the right tools, guidance and a lot more effort.
