BJ is the very very best of people: if you are on IG this is so easy to do and will make a concrete, material improvement on one of the best entertainment critics out there ❤️
Hey, do 3,419 of you want to follow me on IG? Apparently, I'll get more opportunities (Or something?) if I crack the magical 10k, and that's the only platform where I haven't.
lmao this is so pathetic and embarrassing.

It's probably a sad thing to note that I seem to need constant background (light-hearted podcasts and TV shows) any time I'm doing mundane tasks, just to stop anxious thoughts/overthinking. Sometimes not sure if I'm blocking unhelpful thoughts patterns or sticking my head in the sand.

I think I know why so many people think "everyone is a little autistic"
It's because autistic needs are human needs.
Because our needs are not a different category of need. They're the same as everyone else's...
