something that clicked for my last summer (that i remembered now bc i just saw a post from them thru a mutual) you dont have to follow someone with All The Right Opinions (and i mean that literally) if them constantly posting about these opinions and political topics is actively making you have a worse time online.

like i was becoming actively hesitant to scroll thru my dashboard because i was constantly thinking 'im going to see [x] and theyre going to post something actively distressing/drama im not part of but dont want to be bothered by all day', before it clicked that. i could just?? not follow them. and then they were gone and went back to trekking about tumblr.

its that simple and makes me a little. batty? (can i still use that word?) that i didnt think of it before.

#genuinely because i remember over the summer of 2020 #that in an already distressing time #there was already so much fandom wank occurring then #and they were doing nothing but posting about it i felt like #like they were right imo #but i also needed to like #Not Be Exposed To That 24/7 lol #doesnt make me a worse person for not doing so #certainly made my tumblr experiences better #but im not rlly someone who blocks super liberally?#people just exist to me and i feel bad abt blocking #but just #unfollowing them #removing them from my db #does not harm me in any way shape or form #this isnt even to say i hate that user #again i think i lot of their thoughts were well constructed #but i was also going to lose it if they posted one more 'fandom wank of the week' or political post
