TIL the word "tsundere," meaning someone who initially presents a harsh, cold, or hostile exterior but gradually reveals a warmer, softer side over time.

But which ones, Disney? Which specific ones were insensitive, and in what ways? Without being specific, the statement here is toothless and inept.

Wrapping up @mepsy.bsky.social's #MePsych25. It was a great time at @unidue.bsky.social, filled with friends, scholarship, and good chats over coffee and other drinks. It's amazing to have fit all this in to just a few days; and I'll be weeks unpacking the thoughts and inspiration from it.
