*Heads up for discussions of tics/ticcing/Tourette's from 6:089:58 – I also tic a handful of times during that time frame*

Mental Illness TikTok is often a harmful mess, but a lot of discussions of why it's harmful often forget about the disability lens this needs to be looked at through and fall into the same traps as those they are critiquing. So today we're going to try to give this side of the app a more nuanced look to figure out how the heck we may feel about it.

Hello my dears!
My name is Sydney and I’m an actor/singersongwriter who writes music about my experiences being autistic, disabled, gay, gender fluid and in general, a human. My goal is to fill musical gaps and write about things people often forget to make music about. I’m also a vintage enthusiast and disability advocate (among other things). And, most importantly, my favorite color is buttercup yellow :)
