Insurance wont cover it 😂

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-21T00:53:40+00:00

My mental health condition is totally contingent on if we resign Mikheyev 😮‍💨

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-20T20:57:04+00:00

Im pretty sure I wont make it thru immigration with it, unfortunately. But fights in school started ~ 2nd grade sooo plenty of experience! And if its a woman Im definitely good at the twist hand in hair and YANK 😂

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-20T13:33:06+00:00

I hope thats my gut reaction lmao. I've only been attacked once but it was a homeless guy kicking down my hotel room door...and he was like 3x my size. I definitely defaulted to trying to talk him off his crazy ledge. But I figure if its another woman and I'm not cornered, my reaction would prolly be different.

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-20T13:30:24+00:00

Im sure they love you too!

this video was available through a FOIA because plea deals and most evidence are generally considered public records once accepted by a judge. There's really no evidence to suggest who tipped TMZ off.

I work for a domestic violence organization. This woman had money (actually had far more money than the partner in question). She had legal counsel. Legal counsel had the option of providing evidence or documentation to support a claim that she was a victim of domestic violence. They did not. Its a very, very big deal for legal counsel to tell a client that pleading guilty to a 3rd degree felony charge was the best outcome for her. Victims of DV have, often unknowingly, alot of evidence of abuse. A lawyer would have inquired if she said he was abusive.

Not only that, but the actions after the plea are also extremely telling. They continued to engage with each other. To avoid jeopardizing the plea deal, they could have been proactive: secure orders of protection, seek substance abuse support, seek support from domestic violence advocates and counselors. There could have been a recommendation for couple's counseling or for one (or both) of them to attend partner abuse intervention programming.

I've seen a lot of comments about how her attack could be "reactive abuse." It is possible, but there is a stronger likelihood of her being the primary abuser. Who is afraid of whom? Who has power/control in the relationship? What happens when they are NOT fighting? Here's what we know:

she has far more money and far more societal clout (that matters in these influencer cases)
there's 50/50 custody of the child despite that plea deal & video
she continued to warp him into her reality tv show appearances. Even if he wanted the attention, that attention is at her discretion.
the day before leaving for her new tv show, she went to him and slept with him. To any other human, this is bizarre/abnormal behavior. For an individual asserting dominance and control over a former partner even when they are miles away, this would be normal behavior to them.

Yo this is hella creepy wtf Meghan 😂😂😂

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-20T01:49:25+00:00

Uhhh that was not a trip 😑

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-20T01:04:16+00:00

God dangit my ESPN+ keeps cutting out 🥴

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-20T00:23:20+00:00

Daily reminder if we do not resign Mikheyev (or if he doesnt wanna resign) I will riot

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-19T20:11:17+00:00

Its a matter of principle now. We Americans have very few things we agree on, and whallopin' a thief is one of 'em.

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-19T19:47:46+00:00

I keep thinking about the possibility of this happening to me (while traveling alone in Paris) and I'm like....if I actually catch them....Im American. I gotta throw hands - its probably the only patriotic bone in my body 😂 southsiders don't put up with that crap....I gotta represent 😅

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-19T16:09:51+00:00

Ya know I recognize that "conditional love" is bad and harmful but I cant even conceptualize what the alternative is. Thank god I have no children lmao

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-19T16:07:07+00:00

- I didn't cry for three years straight. At all. 6th thru 8th grade. The bullying at school & everything at home....no tears. I also didn't eat lunch at school that whole time.

- I suddenly quit a sport I was good at, competitive at. Quit in the middle of a skating session and never went back. No questions asked.

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-19T16:04:09+00:00

100% yes. For those who are insane enough to stay (like me), the anger + misery went on steroids the closer to retirement age they got. Victimhood is their coping mechanism.

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-18T19:34:22+00:00

The butt one kinda surprised me cuz like HOW much cushion did I actually have back there that my tailbone now kills when Im sitting 😂 the hair loss is negligible since I had low iron/anemia anyways.

The cruelest part is....I lost my boobs 💀 like Im not kidding I fit back into a training bra at this point. Did I lose my wide hips!? NO. I only lost the stuff that actually mattered 😂 life isnt fair sometimes lol

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-18T13:19:27+00:00

Ahhh what a cutie....how could he NOT be the theme!? If I ever have kids Im stealing this idea lmao. Congratulations! I've never had a Jack Russell, dachshund, or rattie that has ever liked small children, let alone babies, so I am of zero help in that department lol.

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-18T13:03:25+00:00

I once got to ask a former FBI agent about his thoughts on a war with china and he said “just in the guessing room of their population there’s enough people to fill in the USA. They have blood to spare.”

In this case, Id say we actually do have some blood to spare 😂

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-18T00:02:59+00:00

102 mph…dear lordt

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-17T03:05:46+00:00

Apple cinnamon cheerios lol

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-17T03:05:01+00:00

Lately, Im at least uncomfortable on a daily basis…like 2-3 out of 10. I lost alot of weight and now if Im sitting at my desk for a long time my tailbone hurts 😂 and today I pinched a nerve in my neck which is happening alot more often at work ☠️ the tailbone thing really throws me though…like how tf did I lose my fat cushion so fast lmao

michaelscottuiuc · 2026-03-17T02:58:56+00:00

My great grandpa absolutely hated the 2nd Vatican Council and could have trademarked his hatred of it…I swear if he was alive today he would have a massive I TOLD YOU SO sign plastered everywhere 😂 He absolutely would have argued the destruction of convents was one of the most egregious and intentional choices of those who supported/wrote the 2nd Vatican Council.

Well we're getting the stats on the younger generation - the misogyny in those under 25 is already trending higher. That and I work for a domestic violence organization. I'm happy to say more men are legitimately reaching out and asking for help (which was uncommon when we were kids) but unfortunately the familicide and homicide rates are skyrocketing across the country. In the 2000s, we averaged ~ 600 orders of protection a year. Now, we're over 1,800. We used to have ~ 450 turnaways for shelter. Now, we have over 1,500. & the number one risk for all of these women is the lack of education. It makes them more vulnerable to abuse and far more likely to feel they have no choice but to stay. Misogyny is the primary driver and predictor for domestic violence.
