I've been tinkering with #ui colors in Jumpvalley behind the scenes, and I think this is what the settings menu should've looked like all along

I keep thinking about trauma. We know trauma shortens lives and reduces quality of what is left. I keep thinking even if the lawyers win and we get the students out of custody, even if the courts win and we get the immigrants back to their families, the trauma will last. Dehumanization haunts us.
