I've got an account there I made not long ago, fearing this would happen. I'll migrate over there. I hope that I can stay connected with y'all. We lost so many on this previous migration. I'm sure we'll lose even more now.
I know that many of you don't use tiktok, so you may not have followed the recent news about it closely. I'd like to tell you about what's going on while dragging one politician in particular. This will be a long post.

Let me tell you about the time I wrote professionally for Flixist.
A few years ago, I wrote regularly on the cblogs on destructoid. I wrote a few blogs about film and television. Somehow or other, this got the attention of Matthew Razak, who was the Editor in Chief at Flixist. Flixist was a sister site to destructoid, but all about film and television instead of video games. Matt reached out to me. He liked what I had written and wanted to offer me a shot at being a writer for him at Flixist.
I was deeply flattered by this. I’ve always fancied myself a writer. But, I really didn’t have the capacity for something like this. Beyond my full-time career, I was also in graduate school. I told Matt that I must decline, but I’d like to reach out after I’d finished school. Over a year later, I reached out. He was aghast that I’d actually followed through with my commitment to respond. He immediately took me on as a writer.
