As someone who occasionally puts on an ASMR video off of Youtube to help me get to sleep, I hereby affirm and attest that I have absolutely zero legs to stand on when it comes to laughing at other people’s harmless, semi-bonkers actions that soothe them. Totally glass house, right here.

All’s fair in love and basketball.

what a brave young woman. makes me ashamed of myself - some of the things i complain about.
