Last time, someome posted this, my whole week was destroyed by reading it. It is a good read, don't get me wrong, but it is hard.
I live in the area, its surreal to realize i was in middle school when this place shut down
Yeah, my introduction to it was a random vaguely interested click some Sunday morning in a comment chain like this, only to have my entire day and evening consumed by the comic. I powered through the entire thing in basically one sitting. I think a big driver for that was because it is such a heavy read, I just wanted that baggage contained to a single reading session and not dripped out through a week or two, subsuming entire days in just melancholy.
Bro wtf, how is this legal?
Can we, as a society, just agree that facilities for troubled teens aren't worth the risk of fucking abuse?
How many times do we need to make this mistake before we fucking learn.
"No no. You don't understand. THIS time will be different. Nothing like all that."
