@robinince

I believe many #actuallyAutistic and #ADHD fedifolk will love this.

I certainly do.

And admire you, Robin, for your stand. They say principles aren’t really principles until they cost you something.

Alt text, to save the OCR lottery:

A sheet of paper with the following text:

THE QUIET ONE<br><br>Fingers relentlessly unpicking<br>The anxious alopecia of another woolly jumper<br>Under the desk<br>Skin picked to the quick<br>Stomach sick<br>Dread accelerates<br>thumb nail digs<br>Wishing for a note to be an absentee<br>Of another bout of insults and failures in PE<br>Pierced by every slight<br>Ponders possibility of escape<br>The safest place?<br>The library for the lunch break<br>Seek solace in a comic book<br>Is this forever<br>This shitty world that drowns you?<br>But one day you'll see<br>From that unnecessary pain<br>Came someone<br>So much more complex<br>Intriguing<br>And resplendent<br>Make it through<br>Many are waiting for you<br>You will be feted<br>You will find your people<br>And be magnifcent [sic]<br>
