I just spent the last five and a half hours creating the zine, then realized that it was 14 pages and it needs to be a multiple of four to fold correctly.
Whelp. Guess I'll come up with another two pages tomorrow.

I am autistic and have ADHD.
I either eat lunch at 12 pm because that is the correct and appropriate time to consume a midday meal, or not until my apo-methylphenidate has worn off and I can feel my insides begin to consume themselves around 10 pm.
There is no in-between.

Should I start a thread of the transphobic garbage I receive?
I receive far fewer now that I've set it so only people who follow me can reply, but bigots continue to find creative ways to harass me.
