@alexisbushnell@snoopy_jay@actuallyautistic I'm used to the queer "chosen family" stuff because I was 18 in the 1980's where AIDS was ripping communities part and having chosen family around kept people alive.
In retrospect I've spent a lot of time and effort looking for "people like me" and it's fucking weird finding it. I'm grateful, and think "kids today" are so fucking lucky not to have the filters that I somehow survived. Let's not put those back.
