it is very strange to be doing this, because for all the jokes about how you can never leave this place I think a part of me kind of believed it. but here we are! I am leaving Tumblr.

simply put, I've outgrown the place. I made this blog in August 2011, when I was 19 years old. (this is absolutely insane to think about, because looking back at that age now is like imagining a baby slapping at the keys and drooling.) since that summer, Tumblr was a constant part of my life for over a decade, and that is absolutely incredible. I am sincerely happy to find myself looking back at all this with a lot of good feeling -- for all my frustrations about this place, I really loved my time here. I met a lot of awesome people, and my life took incredible directions that it would not have taken if not for this website. I used this blog to record my life almost every day for over a decade, and it makes for an incomparable record. despite my criticisms of the site, overall I had a good time here. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm happy to leave while my memories are still fond instead of clinging on to nostalgia and overstaying my welcome.

this is a clean break -- I am not on any other social media and I will not be leaving contact information. I have simply outgrown social media in general, I think, and I now have so much going on in my real life that I no longer have the time or the inclination. but I wanted to say a proper goodbye, and I wanted to say a genuine thank you for the good times. you guys have been here through a lot, and you've made me laugh probably more than any other place on the internet. I've been through some really rough times and you have helped me out with kind words and spare cash. you've supported my writing, encouraged my complete inability to shut up, and shared with me your passions, your interests, your worries, and your humour. I'm going to miss this place a lot, but it is time to move on.

so. read books, kick ass, take risks, log off every once in a while, think for yourself, don't sweat the shit that doesn't matter in the long run, and don't forget to fucking indulge. farewell, and thanks for a lot of highly cursed memories that will probably have me collapsing into totally inexplicable laughter for decades to come. you fucking freaks.

think the biggest divide between casual users and people who know even a crumb of information about tech is the attitude to smart devices and AI. casual users are like oh this is useful or oh a chatbot how cute whereas anyone who's ever done anything with tech is ripping all that shit out of their homes like they're fighting for their lives against HAL 9000

not that there's any GOOD time to get a migraine but I think that the week where I have a flat inspection, a 10 hour drive, and socialising for almost three solid weeks (some of which will be done in a second language) is especially cruel. I picked up some loose papers in the hallway and now I'm all tuckered out :( (I have been awake for 10 minutes.)

#my migraines are silent so on the one hand no headache #but on the other hand blurred vision constant exhausting fatigue and oh my god. my god. i am so much stupider than normal #anyone wanna take this off me? in return gandalf will sort you out with big honkin naturals #.txt

really though, are we living in uniquely artistically & culturally illiterate times, or are we living in an era with unprecedented access and exposer to random dumb people's thoughts? I personally think it's much more the latter. sure there's some ways people really are less literate, many young Americans are saddled with the effects of increased educational neglect for example, but in general... people have always had stupid moments, particularly young people, just as we've always had kitschy media. what's new is the broadcasting of strangers' most underdeveloped, knee-jerk, reactionary thoughts in the social media ecosystem, and the social media ecosystem on top of that dedicated to rage-bait circulating them as evidence of a new decline. so try not to let it get to you

#cannot emphasis how much Signing Off illustrates this #i tend to spend less than 2hrs average a week on social media now #and trying to cut down even further #and let me tell you. #the world is a lot better and more interesting without it

Got in a fight online about whether or not you’re the guy who made the butterfly man and the bigger argument is whether or not you’re married to a man. Please settle this and if possible evidence? I beg of you sir.

not confirming or denying anything because I like the thought of two people duking it out to the death over a minor biographical detail. as for evidence do you mean like. proof of said marriage? you want me to just post a marriage certificate online or something? an invite to the vow renewal? if you're referring in fact to the butterfly thing just cross the multiverse and ask him yourself. you kids do no independent research these days.

not even two weeks into February and I've read 20 books. my yearly book goal used to be 50 books, so this is absolutely wack to consider.

i just think people should want me carnally even though i never leave the house

#this happened to me in 2011/2012 when i was mildly tumblr famous #literally never left the house but got thirsty anons 24/7 #people wrote graphic messages about sucking my dick #two grown women lost their minds over me in equally unnerving ways #and the best part? #i cut my own hair at the time and fucked it up and gave myself a roaring bowl cut that i thought was somehow fashionably acceptable #all these people were lusting over the fifth fucking beatle
