#Bye Twitter

[joyousjoyfuljoyness]

FINALLY. I've moved to Bluesky.

[always-coffee]

Strange times...

Finally deactivated my Twitter account this morning. It's weird. I met so many incredible people that way. I learned so much about writing and the writing business.

But it has become a nazi bar. And the terms of service change tomorrow (Nov. 15) and not for the better.

So, I'm here. I'm on Bluesky. Instagram. I have a TikTok I don't really use anymore, because I'm lazy. And my own website.

It's strange, though, to consider how much enrichment and joy it brought into my life, at one point. How much it mattered.

We left Twitter!

At It Gets Better, it's our goal to foster safe spaces for young LGBTQ+ people to meaningfully connect with communities of support both online and IRL.

Unfortunately, Twitter/X is no longer a space where we can safely and effectively do this work, so we are pausing all future content on the platform.

BUT, to the 187,000 folks who joined our movement on Twitter/X:

You can still find community at itgetsbetter.org and on all other social media platforms, like here on Tumblr, plus Twitch, TikTok, and IG @ItGetsBetter AND our new Spanish-language IG @itgetsbetterespanol!

Let’s keep queer joy front and center, together. 🏳️‍🌈💜🏳️‍⚧️

The end of an era

It's official -- I left Twitter yesterday for good. I hated feeling like that man had any hand in my world. I also spent the last few weeks remembering how much I like Tumblr and continuing to love Instagram -- two places that have given me exponentially less anxiety than Twitter over the last decade.

I tried to delete my feed yesterday only to discover that the API the tool I was using (Semiphemeral) seems to be broken (everything is still there this morning), so I guess it becomes a time capsule now?

It's funny because I've seen a few of my tweet threads floating around here on Tumblr (the one about my dear friend Dan & the one about the US's astrology chart, in particular), and they're so neatly arranged! I guess I'll start trying to be as funny as possible over here now!

Anyway...here I am! Feel free to use the AMA button at the top of my Tumblr anytime. I'll do my best to be cool. xoxo

I'm brazilian and therefore can't use twitter anymore

I can't help but be sad about it. I've used it for 12 years. And now I just can't, because some big baby billionaire thinks freedom of speech is the main thing he's going for, when it's not

What he was asked for was based on brazilian laws. He wanted to break the law. That's it. But both sides were very off about it. Got to a point where both parties were just messing with each other instead of actually working for a cause. Alexandre de Moraes set a fee to be paid in case someone uses a vpn to access twitter after it was down in brazil.

anyways

2 grown up men fucked around and WE found out

[cobalt-trnc]

twitter (now "x") has became a shithole recently and i think the recent name change is the final nail into their coffin before the website fades into obscurity. welcome to tumblr i guess?? anyway here's my online persona please thank you you're welcome ok bye

Why not...

[hor4ngshi]

hihiii i made a bluesky acc, im too lazy to set it up tho!! i hate moving accs sigh

[zuzusexytiems]

Idk when it was that I stopped typing with proper capitalization but maybe I ought to bring that back, lmao

Anyway. Hello, Tumblr 🥹 It's been a while (again). I have a lot of thoughts on Twitter's X revamp, but the gist is that I'm going through a little ~migration~ process atm and trying to ween myself off Twitter entirely (so I can be more active again here) 😭

It's not an easy decision to make, but unless things get better on Twitter, I feel like going back here and making this my main platform again is something that needs to be done.

So if you're a fan of my work here on Tumblr, I'd like to ask for a little favor.

One of the reasons I've been hesitant to go back to this site is because my engagements here (and elsewhere) just aren't the same compared to the bird app. If I post something on Twitter, I'd get 200 to 500 likes on average (and that's within the span of 5 days).

Here, I'd be lucky to get 30 in a month.

I know that engagements aren't the end-all and be-all of making fanwork, but realistically speaking, when you work on something for days and pour your heart into it, it can be pretty demotivating to see it flopping 😞

So the favor I'd like to ask you guys is this! Reblogging. That's it. :')

For new Tumblr users, this site doesn't have an algorithm, and the only way things spread around here is through reblogs.

Unlike Twitter, likes, unfortunately, don't do anything here 😞 And with only likes and no reblogs, a post on Tumblr dies out and remains in obscurity—unless people start reblogging it.

So yes! I hope it's not too much to ask, but reblogs will help a lot—even if it's old posts from years ago, I really don't mind (and in fact appreciate that you like my stuff enough to go through them 🥺 I see some of you guys in the notifs, thank you so much 🥹🙏🏽)

If you'd like to see some of my original stuff (and would like to reblog any of them 🥺) you can find them under the #jeanpikutiems tag, the #my-art tag, or the #my-writing tag. :)

Second (and only if you want, of course!) please feel free to interact with me here 🥹💜 Whether it's through asks or replying to my posts, or even just adding your reactions in tags.

A huge reason as to why I stayed on Twitter for so long and (preferred it over Tumblr) was because people talked to me frequently there. I made friends and connections, exchanged headcanons with people, and gushed about my love for Jeanpiku freely. So if I'm able to interact with you guys here, I would honestly love that! (especially since it's getting kind of lonely shipping a small ship like Jeanpiku 😭).

I can't always promise to respond on time, but I'll definitely see your stuff and will be happy to interact with all of you whenever my schedule loosens up. 🥺💜

Anyway, I think that's it! Again, these aren't really ~requirements~ and I hope it doesn't sound like I'm asking for too much 😭 But I'm ngl, it will mean a huge, huge deal to me, especially the reblogs. 🥺

If you read through all of this, thank you for your time, and I'll see you around! 🥹💜

I don't laugh on tumblr bcs I'm brazilian and I laugh with 3 Ks, and it would be KINDA messy to do so on a mostly-american site
