Tripping on Every Step - RCB #10
CW: Weed, Ableism
This month (sorry audience), Arlill talks about when they got really high at a musical festival but how that also made them thinking about masking, as a neurodivergent/atypical person, in public.
We took an expected break due to a darn sore throat but we're back in action again!
