IMPACT 23 – Content & Trigger Warnings

IMPACT can get a little intense.

Some people are triggered by trigger warnings and see them as spoilers… and some people depend on them to not have their days ruined and to take radical care of their own mental health and well-being. So we gathered all of them together in one place—you’ve been warned! ( hugs )
