Jenny Skene @jennyskene.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What is with all the staring? I‘m only recently registering just how frequent it is and to try to figure out what my response should be: it so often passes for normal (not in a hotel corridor, mind. I notice those). Maybe I’m going around accidentally staring at people, but I don’t think so. 221
