Status update & good news

First off I wanna thank all of you guys for following, reblogging, and especially tagging and commenting the posts with your own stories. I feel like advertising occupies a really unique niche in pop culture, and I love getting to explore that through this blog and through reading all of your experiences and memories in the notes.

Second, an apology for the totally unintended absence from October onward. I’ve gotten a few concerned asks and DMs checking on me, and I gotta say you guys are too awesome. Coming back and seeing your messages was such a great feeling. I’m hanging in there, and so is my family! My partner and I got very sick with COVID around the end of October, and as a result they lost their job. I've been working as much as possible from home to try and compensate, but it’s a minimum wage gig so it’s tough and it’s slow going. Plus my in-laws haven’t been understanding about the situation at all and have been (angrily) pressuring us to do a whole bunch of stuff over the holidays that we can’t afford and don’t feel well enough to do. It has sucked.

Now for the good news. Since the holidays are over and things are calming down around us, including our health improving, I should be able to get back to something like a normal routine, which means more time to find and create content for this blog! I’m super excited to get back to it, and as always my ask box and DMs are open if you guys have any suggestions for what types of things I should post.

Thank you all for being the raddest follower base on Tumblr. ✌❤
