Why does everyone suddenly seem to think it’s ok to say the R word again? I feel like I hadn’t heard it in years and suddenly everyone around me is using it, and I see it on Reddit all the time. Am I imagining it? Is anyone seeing this? I don’t even know what to say when it’s suddenly just everyone in a group and everyone acts like it’s normal.
Hell yes, thanks for the resources!
Sure thing, I’m always happy to share useful info!
Also, was the “hell yes” to more links or just in general? You’re good either way, don’t worry… 😂
To more links!
Cool. I figured I’d just troll my bookmarks and paste anything related, but there was more than I realised lol. I did cut back, but this still feels like a bit much, sorry 😂

lol, It is not too much at all. I mean, I won’t be reading it all at once, but I love having resources
It’s always nice to meet a fellow link collector lol
I’ll admit it might be a while since I’ve read some of these myself (or in the case of the book pdf - not fully yet) so they might not all be up to date, but the gist should still stand.
