Trigger words. This is what you'll be dealing with if you decide to press talk.

Life update, because apparently my academic career is now a fucking sitcom. 🥰

So. Remember how I was supposed to be enjoying my summer? Beach days, gym sessions, questionable decisions, generally being a hot girl with a promising future?

Yeah. About that.

For anyone who doesn't know, hi. I'm Brianne. I'm 20, I study Kinesiology at UC Berkeley, I lift heavy things for fun, and I have Tourette syndrome. Which means my brain occasionally decides to yell something deeply inappropriate without consulting the rest of management.

Usually it's fine. Sometimes it's hilarious.

Anyway.

Last semester, during my Anatomy & Physiology practical, my nervous system decided that the PERFECT time for an obscene vocal tic was directly in front of my professor.

He didn't appreciate the performance.

Despite knowing I have Tourette's, the man kicked me out of the exam, gave me a zero, and refused to let me retake it.

Four-credit course. Failed.

Because of something I literally cannot control.

FUCKING BRILLIANT. 🥰

Yes, I appealed. Yes, I have disability accommodations. No, I haven't heard anything useful back yet. Thank you for asking.

So while all my friends are spending summer doing normal twenty-year-old things, I'm stuck at Berkeley for SIX MORE WEEKS, repeating a course I already understood perfectly well the first time.

I'm paying extra money to learn that the femur is, in fact, still the fucking femur.

Amazing value.

On the positive side, I'm making excellent progress in the gym, my summer lecturer seems to possess a functioning brain, and the barista near campus hasn't banned me despite what I've involuntarily called him this week.

Small victories.

Honestly, I know I'm not stupid. I know I didn't deserve what happened. But watching everyone else move forward while I'm stuck repeating the same shit?

Yeah. That part fucking sucks.

Anyway, welcome to my loser summer.

If anyone needs me, I'll be at the gym pretending this is character development.

Or crying into an anatomy textbook.

Probably both.

Love you, dickheads. ❤️

Four ways in. Start with one if you're new here. In the others she's already met you.

🎓 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TRANSFER!

You've been accepted to UC Berkeley!

There's just one tiny detail standing between you and your junior year.

COMM 110.

Apparently, you need to complete this prerequisite before enrolling in COMM 310.

The solution? Six glorious weeks of summer classes! ☀️

While everyone else enjoys beaches, holidays and questionable life decisions, you'll be enjoying air-conditioned lecture halls, overpriced coffee and the sweet embrace of academic bureaucracy.

YOUR SUMMER. YOUR STORY.

✅ Transfer student entering junior year

✅ Enrolled in COMM 110

✅ Six weeks of summer at UC Berkeley

✅ Previous university, personal history, appearance and personality entirely up to you

UC Berkeley Summer Sessions · July–August 2026

WELCOME TO BERKELEY.

Your future starts here. Your summer ends here.

The rest of the camera roll. Proof I did leave the library. Occasionally.

Here I am with an attempt at a loser week bot. I genuinely had no idea what to do. And I've always been fascinated by Tourette Syndrome since the spawning of the internet and easy propagation of videos online. I wanted to make a point that the character, much like the people who have it, don't have identies that revolve only around what we see of the syndrome. The tics. The outburts. So like an onion, peel back the layers. And go check out the other bots from this event!

If you haven't already, go and click the comments on the posts above. They drop-down. Pretty schnazzy.

I'd like to thank Inkisidor for his help with developing this bot's defs. As well as JFZ and Xion1 for their continued scrutiny of my art gens, I love you guys.
