Source. https://twitter.com/stinkykatie/status/1721224908884136394

Why do people (not you op) cut off the source? It's literally extra work.

Thank you very much for linking the source! I love her stuff!

It's not working, they're just making it worse.

Shhh, let us pretend everything is okay, we can't fix it.

It's hard when so many awful posts about what's going on in the world keep popping up.

It's that your character? Or someone I'm not aware of?

My personal life is pretty horror-free. The silly little devices actually give me a glimpse of all the horrors happening elsewhere.

Or are they just exacerbating them?
