it is cheap, practical, and medically and morally sound to give children the freedom to decide what puberty they experience. anyone who disagrees is either uninformed, misinformed, or believes that they, personally, have a superseding right to the bodies of children

the whole "em dashes are a sign of AI because you can't type that on a keyboard" thing is so disrespectful of me, a NORMAL PERSON with custom compose key sequences and a personal keyboard layout remapping i made just so i could type curly quotes and em dashes without a word processor

No self you can present to the world will be universally accepted, but the more authentic the self you present, the more you'll attract people who like you for who you actually are 💙

even if the world is mean and cruel i still think there's good in accepting yourself

hi I'm violet, I make lowpoly animations 😊💜

dont let anyone tell you that you aren't allowed to experience life and find some joy in turbulent times

don't spend so much time worrying about tomorrow that you miss out on today

@asabpod.bsky.social Hello! I would love to listen to your (assuredly) wonderful podcast but I can't access it! The podbean userpage gives me a 404 error and my podcatcher can't fetch episodes from the RSS link.

Am I missing something? Is your podcast still available? Cheers!
