twitch of twitch.cymru

weird to see people migrating their stuff to tumblr/twitter/mastodon when i deleted my accounts on those platforms bc i found them unbearable to post here instead.

very angry and upset at the state of the internet that we are all pushed towards bigger social media, in particular twitter/instagram/facebook, and that smaller social media like cohost struggle to survive, and in cases like cohost they can no longer survive.

i'm looking at my links on my site, and i've realised i don't really have an alternative to move to now that cohost is closing. my dreamwidth journal i guess?? or maybe i'll find something new out there.

for now, here's my personal site. my celtic studies site, celtic studies journal, and mechcommander/battletech fansite are all linked on the home page. i have other links at the top of my links page. i'll put my discord in the private contact info in my description, but i'm not really active on discord.

edit 11/09/24 - i now have an rss feed for my site that you can subscribe to!!

really excited for the academic year to start :)

just realised oversharing isn't a substitute for actually being close to someone. day ruined.

i've been thinking about this all day actually, bc i always thought "a friend is someone who i feel comfortable sharing personal things with. that's what closeness is." but tbh i seem to share that sort of thing with almost everyone so now i really don't know how to define friendship. i already had a poor idea of defining friendship in my head due to neurodivergencies and such but i think it's worse now. i also think i've shared some really personal amd vulnerable stuff with people i shouldn't have.
