Thanks for noticing! It was really hard to get good audio during my move. I’m finally stable in a room with lots of soft things so the sound doesn’t bounce.

Holy cow--the younger / older thing is BLOWING. MY. MIND. (And I have always hated how people insist I look so young, and the way others assume this must be *so great* for me.)

This is the BEST episode yet! This is the most validating episode I've heard and I have a newfound like for vampires. I used to be "meh" about them, but now I have turned. The stories and parallels helped explain some of the experiences I have been having and I regained confidence in myself and feel powerful! Now I'm wondering if two energy vampires converse, do they feel drained or energized afterwards?

Regarding the witch trials mentioned near the beginning.... has anyone watched the show A Kind of Spark? It's an AMAZING show and it's got multiple autistic characters played by autistic/neurodivergent actors, and a neurotypical character played by an autistic actress as well. In the first season the main character develops a special interest in the witch trials that happened in her town and they draw excellent parallels between autistic traits and the traits the women in her town were persecuted for. It's a wonderful comfort show and made me feel so seen. I especially love season 2. Can't wait for the third season!
