Representation’s important, esp during times like now where people are marginalised and turned into scapegoats regularly.
So here’s some stuff that, while none of your business, I’ll share in case it helps anyone feeling alone:
I’m non-binary & have gender dysphoria.
I’m prob demisexual & polyamorous.
I’ve got ADHD, ASD, & a history of depression, & panic/anxiety disorder.
I take anti depressants monitored by a psychiatrist, & see a therapist regularly.

THIS IS THE RIGHT KIND OF CANCEL CULTURE.
So Disney is offering massive discounts for 6 months if you try to cancel your subscription. For those who weren’t cancelling bc their young kids, it’s worth at least trying to cancel and take the discount they offer to keep you. Then cancel before the promotion period ends.
They are also spending a fortune on ads to get people back. The boycott is working. Soooo many people are fighting back.

I’ll say the elephant in the room - due to the sheer amount of Salesforce customers who have been hit, and that Salesforce is a fully SaaS service - Salesforce should have detected and been more proactive about all of their customer’s data being stolen. https://databreaches.net/2025/09/11/exclusive-high-end-fashion-retailers-gucci-balenciaga-brion-and-alexander-mcqueen-hit-by-salesforce-attacks/
