I don’t know about y’all, but going from the extreme highs of @nomnomnami‘s moxdonald’s AU (one of the coolest uses of social media I’ve ever witnessed) to the sudden death of cohost…

It’s been a real week, hasn’t it? 😭

I honestly am not entirely certain what I’ll do next. I mean… I spent the last two months in hibernation after (time for a little brutal honesty) being forcibly cut off from a portion of my family after starting HRT. It…was extremely rough, as I’m sure many of you can imagine. But lately, I’ve been lurking a lot again and Nami’s posts were just starting to get me back into the idea of posting this last week and…. sigh

This is where I’ve always gone when things got rough to remind myself I’m not alone, ya know? Just my little reminder that there are a fair few of us. That we’re all dealing with shit but that we’re thriving too!

I am going to miss it immensely…

But thanks for being here folks, truly, I enjoyed it!! Hopefully I find y’all in the various places you land. In the mean time, best of luck and best of wishes. I’m rooting for you 🥰

I don't think I have any way of making myself feel better. Anything I might think of doing is either useless or counterproductive. It just has to pass. Slept way too late too.

I'm not taking this well whatsoever, huh? Feeling my body knot itself in 20 different places over a website shut down was not in my bingo card for the year, at least. I feel incomplete now. I'll have to do one more round of follows, everyone is going so many different places and it's making me a bit dizzy.

Bluesky has been a common choice but, like... I really don't know how much to trust the original team of Twitter of all things. That place was already a tar pit long before Musk, he just made it worse. Also I tried to make a post with some nuance and it forcing me to split it into replies felt grimy.

Furaffinity is a place. UI looks neat and if relatively recent events with their little troll breach have taught me anything is that it has some neat people running it so I might look over there. I just have no clue around community things.

Itaku, Pillowfort, some people sticking with Tumblr, others just not existing elsewhere...

No other website will hold people like this one did, huh? A genuine vice grip community. Never before have I seen total collective mourning around social media.

I'm getting a migraine again.

Btw, for those seeking RSS readers:

Feedbro on Firefox has been really good. It's a free extension, and despite the lightly cringe name, it's been really good. It has imports, it does folders, it has a good tag and automateable rules system. Recommend.

of course I'm the bastard that posts and yearns to post more now that there's a end-date.

I have ADHD. What did I expect.

I'm not going to be able to break the habit before it goes down.

I hope we do something incredible as the end draws near. I think I need it.
