I'm just gonna say like... I didn't use this site enough. It gave me so much joy every time I was on it. The dread was never here, even if the same hard-to-swallow topics were. It felt like there was proof here that the internet could be quiet and cool and kind. And the amount of love my art got here was unmatched, and cohost showed I didn't need the numbers to FEEL that, either.
I wish my brain was less punishing on me so that I could have enjoyed it more and engaged more instead of continuing to exist in places that only made me sicker. I hope a place like this exists in the future. And when it does, I hope I don't take it for granted again.
