So... For a good while I’ve been thinking on making this decision, since activity of this blog has been going very slow, or sometimes nonexistent.
Finally, the decision has been made.
I’m retiring from this blog!
I feel like this is the best decision for myself, as said earlier, my interest of the muse being down the hole, and the possibility of feeling burnt out on rping.
I do apologize that this is so sudden, as much as I kinda didn’t want to do this... But if it’s best for my health, might as well sacrifice it.
I’d like to thank every single one of ya’ll who happened to follow along with my muse going through some funny situations, it was fun while it lasted. I just can’t believe that this blog has caused me to go places... I’ve meet new friends, learned new things, got better mental health, and so much more.
If you’d like to follow me along with my journey, feel free to check my tumblr and twitter! I always go by Toadettegal on both of them.
This blog isn’t being deleted, it will be archived.
Not sure what else to say, other then thank you all for everything... I will cherish these times for a good while...
so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?
Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.
Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.

Seeing the baby, Kiiro gets a bright idea. He picks him up, gets on a table, and holds him up like baby Simba and sings the first part of "The Circle of Life" while everyone else watches, second-hand embarrassed. If he wasn't holding a baby, Aka would've pushed him off the table by now. (@primarycolorbombers)
