Recently turned 22.

What the fuck do I do?

Advice welcomed.

Sincerely, a fresh faced 22 year old who is confused out of their wits.

Earning bot to apologise for the majority of my tics is hard. 90% of my tics are harming *me* or just loud, and yet I still feel the need to apologise for them. On the occasion I end up hitting someone close I will always apologise, but I shouldn't have to for tics that font affect them. Im learning

Spent the weekend with one of my partners. I had never had a tic attack infront of him before, and then my tourettes decided to change that. It was one of the worst attacks I have ever had. My partner stayed calm and helped me through it with kindness and grace even whilst being tired. I feel loved.

I am forever grateful for the fact that the glasgow subway is just two circles that go in opposite directions. As someone who gets woefully lost all the time, it has saved my skin over and over again.

Hello, now that we're in 2025 can we please, PLEASE:

-stop using tourette's as a punchline

-stop assuming that everyone with tourettes swears

-stop accusing those who have tourettes of faking it

I'm begging you. Please. It's hard enough having a nervous system that hates me without all this.

My new years tradition?

Going to see a ska band formed decades before I was born.

Onwards! To Bad Manners!

We have entered the season of no meal rules. Dessert is breakfast. Dinner is lunch. A snack is an entire honey-mustard ham

Everyone thinks tourettes is fun until youre:

-punching/headbutting hard surfaces

-hitting yourself

-having a tic attack so bad you can't communicate and injure yourself

-injuring others

Just a PSA, Tourettes isn't fun. It's violent and I hate it. Stop saying you want tourettes.

I think the collective loss of respect for Mount Everest, that has been happening for years now, is incredibly rage inducing and I feel very, very strongly about it.

That's it. That's the post.

#Everest #AAAAAAAAAA

An angel loses its wings everytime i dm someone a song/album and they dont listen to it :,(

I love watching shows that no longer exist on their original platforms. If I want to watch I Survived A Zombie Apocalypse for the 237th time, I get to turn into a little pirate :)

Hello Bluesky. My cat (SGT. John 'Soap' MacTavish, or soap for short), woke me up this morning by knocking all of my tapes over. She then clambered up and over me, and meowed directly into my ear for 30 seconds.

Good morning.

Now that I am here, and whilst I have 0 audience, I wish to share with you the reason a lot of audio engineers don't have any photos of them hard at work.

This was me. Hard as t work editing audio for a drama lab.

I have never looked more awkward.

I wish I had less of these kinds of photos.

Yo! I'm Ribbons (they/them). I'm a pan, poly, ace enby, audio engineer, musician, and I have tourette's and HSAN type 1. I'm fumbling my way through life, figuring shit out, and I hope yall will come along on this baffling journey with me.
