I think personal labels can be useful for “there’s a word for it”, “I’m not alone”, and “oh neat, I know what to put in a search engine now” reasons, but I also think they can be troublesome.
Plenty of people won’t fit 100% neatly into a label, and when they encounter a rare exception to what is otherwise an accurate label for them, it can feel like an identity crisis.
The labels aren’t literally what you are. They’re words. They’re meant to assist communication and organization, not to control you.
Man I hate posts about the Neurodivergent Experience that try to universalize it in opposition to the Neurotypical Experience. I just saw a post about how "neurodivergent people don't perceive early signs of hunger and neurotypical people do which is why neurodivergent people forget to eat" and a bunch of people in the comments like "whoamygod makes so much sense" but like, I am able to detect hunger at its early stages. I do forget to eat when I'm manic but that's because I'm distracted and don't notice it, not because I'm not able to perceive it if I think about it. Anyway the Neurodivergent Experience is not universal and one size fits all so stop saying stuff like "the Neurodivergent Experience is __" it can be annoying especially to people like me who have been told they're faking it their whole lives. Even something like "a lot of neurodivergent people have this" can go a long way to being inclusive.

Not to make a serious post too much but remember how angry everyone rightly was about bread companies adding sesame because it's cheaper to poison people than clean your machinery?
Yeah well it's happening in other foods. I already posted about Kellogg's doing it to cereal bars and Austin Snack Crackers but now it's in greens CVS granola bars and Jenny Fucking Craig cheesecake which btw record level they added EVERY allergen to that shit.
One of the first stage names he went by was William Sunshine, and he was part of a band called A Verbal Equinox, they released one album in 2013 and they broke up.
He released two albums under the name Will Wood and The Tapeworms in 2016, Everything is a Lot and Self-ish.
in 2019 he released a cover of Prince Ali to help with an album called D*sn*y is Birth Control under the name Will Wood and The Land Pirates.
Also in 2019, the first episode of the podcast The Life In The World To Come was released.
in 2020 he released a mockumentary called The Real Will Wood.
Also in 2020, he released remastered versions of Self-ish and Everything is a Lot.
Then AGAIN in 2020, he did The Normal Album under the name Will Wood.
In 2022 he did Incase I Make It, and Camp Here & There which was for a podcast. (of which I haven't researched much.)
In 2023 he released In Case I Die, which was a collection of his live performances, and then took his indefinite break from creating music.
While he no longer does music, The Life in the World To Come still updates regularly.

A robber held up a well-dressed man, pointing his gun and yelling, “Give me all your money!”
The man replied, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a U.S. congressman!”
The robber retorted, “In that case, give me all my money!”
