@sand something i pretty much always think about when i'm thinking that my actions may be cringe, is that acab includes the cop in your head
that's sorta to say, especially online, it doesn't really matter what other people think, like, it sounds cliche, but it's so very true
even in physical space, if it's not going to get you hurt, hurt anyone else, and it makes you happy, it's probably worth doing
like, once you've tried it and realized it, it's so freeing, knowing that the worst you might get is a weird look or two
