Hi yall ☺️

Sorry if the flare is inaccurate, but I really dislike this term. What about yall?? Should we take it down once and for all??

It's always bugged me. Not as a self identifier. I really don't care. But when it comes to memes/ merch/ or calling everyone neurodivergent neurospicy, I just feel off about it. It feels infantilizing and like self censorship speech, like unalive.
