Wow I just sure do love it when the vile ableism gets sent directly to my push notifications, Reddit.

My desktop background is a series of images of planets, moons, dwarf planets, and other objects in space that changes periodically. And you know what? I never get tired of powering up my computer and unexpectedly seeing Uranus.
