Dang, that's gorgeous

If you're gonna do a social media, I very much recommend muting everything but stuff like this: nature, science, literature and art and any groovy specific interests you have

Mute mute mute the rest, oh yeahhhhh

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!
