Post-Friendsgiving overstimulation reset, reading at the coffeeshop. Any other autistics have this thing where the din of strangers does not grate but becomes a kind of regulating white noise?

“Ravens call out as they fly through snow. They’re surprised by it, I think, it starts up so quickly—one second a gunmetal sky, and the next all the snow emptying out of that gray color, tumbling down.”

Tattoo of a raven, wings spread in flight, mid-caw, flying through falling snow
