#i previously loved it and it made me so happy and gave me bearotonin to post bear photos and run my blog

[fuckyeah-bears]

The thing is for me personally tho, this is so fuckin important right now but its always felt like you were a constant break in a sea of political content. Im asking you as politely as i can please dont stop the bears because of how much they help give a space to sit and think about the barrage of shit just going on and on in the world that just feels like the worlds on fire and we have nothing to put it out with. If you need to stop the bears thats totally fine too, I'll find something else. Because your mental, physical, and emotional well-being come before any need for bears.

Lots of love

A person you turned into the biggest bear lover his friends know <3

i won't stop posting bears. i promise. but i am going to scale back on how many posts a day i do. right now i'm looking at 1 prescheduled post a day instead of my previous 3 per day.

i understand how necessary a break from reality is, which is why i created bearotonin in the first place. and i will continue to run it. but for me, it just makes me feel so utterly sick and wrong to go on business as usual and ignoring the horrific atrocity going on right now. because that's what the whole fucking world is doing. that's what the media is doing. that's what almost all our countries are doing. just pretending it's not happening or it's not that bad. and i can't do that. i can't act like that. it makes me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about being part of that.

especially because i have some degree of a platform with bearotonin and i feel like i morally need to be using it. but i still want bearotonin to be a refuge and haven for people who need it.

so i've decided that i will keep running bearotonin. and in order for it to be a haven, it has to be an escape from the real world, with no reference or mention to real world stuff on it. but i can't just do business as usual and pretend nothing is happening. i literally could not live with myself for doing that. so my compromise is to reduce the volume of bear posts. i will still be providing daily bear programming to make life bearable. but just less than before.

this blog however, will not be that 'haven'. because i need to speak up against what's going on. and i have more followers here than i do on main. so i may occasionally post bears here. but i'm also going to keep posting a lot of what's happening to palestine. because i need to. it is the bare (bear) fucking minimum i can do as a human being to stand by palestine and not be silently complicit in another genocide

Free Palestine 🇵🇸
