    Season Content Notes: (internalized) ableism Dinner was a pleasant memory and Kyawtchais had used up all eir fiber.

  • Planting Life in a Dying City: Kyawtchais (S4, E2)

    Season notes: autistic shutdown, internalized ableism Kyawtchais would have liked to spend more time with Lefeng — ‘mud’ her hands shaped the name.
