Basically a corpse flower - my accomplishments, such as blooming, come sparingly and everyone is a little repulsed by me 🖤

I never used to understand what “making connections” looked like but it turns out it’s standing at a party and saying “I’ve been thinking about getting into the film industry” and someone saying “Oh, Sarah works in the film industry” and Sarah yelling from accross the room “Did someone say my name?!?!?!”
“I hate this feeling. Like I’m here, but I’m not. Like someone cares. But they don’t. Like I belong somewhere else, anywhere but here, and escape lies just past that snowy window, cool and crisp…”

I've noticed *some* people tend to do this to avoid suppression by social media platforms. People block out curse words or say "the panini" instead of "the pandemic" or "le$bean" instead of "lesbian" or "seggsual" instead of "sexual" and I've wondered how that impacts accessibility. And is there a balance which needs to be struck between accessibility by a video / audio not being suppressed by the platform due to trigger words and accessibility by having captions reflect the exact words said.
