One really healing aspect of dating and befriending other neurodivergent ppl is seeing them do the very things that you thought made you unlovable and unworthy and realizing that they're actually perfectly fine, if not endearing, things to do.
Problem is, UK kids are badly suited for modern day farm work for the simple reason that they don't have to put up with illegal employment practices out of fear of being deported.
The way that Bud Light and Target are reacting to the far right angry at including LGBTQ+ people is EXACTLY why many of us have railed against corporate pride.

So I was already trying to figure how I would hold my nose to vote Labour at the next election....
