This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Any chance we could get a picture of you holding a banana? Also this is the autism speaking but this seems like a good time to ask:
Obviously this is going to vary person to person, but with differences like yours I find them utterly fascinating. I get the feeling that a lot of people are put off by differences, but with me I feel they make someone instantly do much more interesting. I can understand not wanting to be reduced to one aspect of your identity however, especially something you didn't choose. So my question is as follows: would you personally rather people, like strangers or more specifically someone you have to engage with like a cashier, take a positive interest in your differences, or simply pretend as though they don't notice in order to not alienate you? From a mostly normal bodied person, I personally think I'd find the second more frustrating, but it's not my concerns I'm worried about lol
