This may not be the most controversial thing, but cc has been slow today. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I read an article today on The Atlantic about weighted blankets. The journalist was writing about how weighted blankets are being appropriated because they were originally created and used for children with autism. The journalist specifically said that these blankets are now being appropriated by “meditation-app listening, Instagram-shopping people.”

Do you agree or disagree with this rhetoric?

I personally disagree. I feel like this awesome tool has reached the general public and has become mainstream because it helps other conditions, such as insomnia and anxiety. If I had the money for one, I’d definitely buy it to help with my anxiety and panic attacks.
