A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

Hello, fellow aphantasic!

Would it be possible to ask your friend to send you a picture of themselves? It can be a little awkward to bring up, but they'd probably understand "I'm starting to forget what your face looks like" (for me I can't visualize a face the second they turn around, but it's pretty normal for people to forget facial details over time)

Oh my friend is fully aware of how my brain works, and they're really understanding. Thank you for the tip, though!

My friend likes to joke that I don't have object permanence. Neither of us like sending images of ourselves out there, so that's a no-go. However, we do video calls from time to time.

You and your friend are aware that video calls work by sending a continuous stream of images to each other, yes? :)

Obviously. It's encrypted end-to-end and goes via my own server.
