A friendly reminder that April Fool’s Day really really freaks me out. Possibly because in part because in real life I’m closeted (with anyone I’m not super close to) about being poly and genderqueer, the idea that people lie to each other about major life things (pregnancy, illness, cheating, etc) for grins and giggles sits poorly with me. Jumpscares give me literal panic attacks and I am already having a really shit mental health year. Like if you are going to make people silly food that is still edible just not what it looks like, ok. There are cute April Fools things. But most April Fools pranks seem like an excuse to lie or be mean and then say hahaha instead of apologizing. Please don’t do anything to me. I have John Watson sized trust issues and ask that you don’t make those worse.
