This is so cursed 😂😂😂

[these-are-the-first-steps]

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Almost 100 voters and kind of a close call. I guess more folks than I thought are willing to go down that road again. 🥲

....because tbh I'm really not feeling it myself. Seems like a weird ploy to keep otherwise unemployable actors employed for some bizarre reason, at the expense of beating a half decayed horse. Buuuuuuut that could just be me? 👀

Reblog to expand the sample size! I'm genuinely curious.

The comments section is a hoot, too, and not a single one of them is wrong lol.

lol I also got a dm on ff.net and the message was so vague and so stupid ("I have some notes on how to make your story better" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣) that I instantly ignored it.

Tumblr's full of war fundraiser scammers and now the fic sites are full of bait n switches. Well, what do we really expect anymore lol

I’ve been made aware that someone who reached out to me about art commissions is nothing more than a scam artist. I had a long conversation with this person in DMs and they genuinely seemed like they just wanted to make more art. They said they were inspired by my writing and wanted to make art for it, then turned around and told me they wanted me to pay them for a commission I never asked for and had zero interest in. That annoyed me in and of itself, because it’s fine if you want to make art for a fic just for your own enjoyment/practice, but trying to trick someone into paying when they never asked is disgusting. So I turned them down and thought if I made a post for them that’d be good enough and they’d leave me alone. Do I feel like an idiot for just being nice as a default instead of telling them to fuck off, or blocking them? Absolutely. Was I stupid for not instantly knowing it was a scam? Yep. I had no idea this was a problem going around AO3 and FF.net and I feel so dumb now for not knowing, but I genuinely hadn’t seen anyone talking about it so I knew nothing of it. My life has been incredibly hectic this year, so I didn’t take the time to properly research like I should have and that’s my fault. But regardless, they didn’t get anywhere with me and I hope no one else tried to work with them as a result of that post. I am sorry for my lapse in judgment. Thank you to the person who actually reached out to me to tell me about the scams.

Anyway, block and report evelynaddison92 on tumblr, and if they comment on any written works. They’re trash, they don’t want to work with you, nor have they likely ever even read a word you’ve written, and I sincerely hope they have nothing but terrible days for the rest of their miserable life along with all their scammer friends. 🖕

I've been pretty quiet here, especially due to being in japan, and the marathon of coming back, etc. It's been officially 7 days since I've been back and it's my first night sleeping through all the way. Idk...

Things are shit! Worse than shit! But our ancestors have been through worse. I guess.

This isn't turning into the pep talk I envisioned.

Listen...especially if you are younger and this was your first election etc.:: Single-issue voters are the number one killer of successful elections. Politics are MORE than just one problem, one complaint, one flavor-of-the-season Big Issue. Because those things will always end or shift or change or all of the above at once. But if you LACK the PERSPECTIVE to see that, you will FUCK everybody, in the long term, potentially for generations, over a SHORT TERM PROBLEM. This election was a prime example of single-issue voters fucking over everyone either by voting without perspective or not voting at all. 10 million people LESS than last election chose not to vote on Tuesday. That is also single-issue bullshit brainrot behavior.

And now look at the consequences- because single-issue voters also stupidly assume that the "lesser of two evils" candidate will still somehow win and everything will be fine and they can continue to sit smugly up their own ass about an issue that will be irrelevant sooner than later. But candidates do not elect themselves!! If you do not vote, who do you think is going to win? The people who don't give a shit about any issues, not really, just voting for their favorite political sports team so they can win the big super election bowl series- they will win. EVERY TIME. They don't give a SHIT and will take full field advantage of your Smug.

And when you do those things and they do what they always do, you and everybody else LOSES.

So look at this election carefully and for the love of god learn- being a single-issue voter is the most catastrophic, dangerous, stupid fucking thing you can be.

So to all you single-issue voters out there, I hope you enjoy the next 8 years- the 4 under this lunatic and the 4 of the fallout afterwards. You've killed 10 years of our lives over shit that you won't even remember by then. But you enjoy, you know? And I hope you don't complain about fucking shit. Because you ASKED for this. You wanted self-sabotage. So I hope you enjoy- it's all for you. 💗

Today, I woke up to Amandla's IG Stories. I wallowed in misery for some time (while thinking, "Damn, Manny Jacinto was right. Amandla is so intelligent, and I would also sound so dumb if I ever got the chance to speak with them" lol), but then! I became more motivated to continue the fight!
