I'm so addicted to deleting posts. not even controversial ones, just like anything. I'll briefly post an anecdote or my opinion of a movie, think about it for a few minutes, and then go NOPE no one needs to see that! this post too, I'll probably delete it before you can reply. just watch.

I wouldn't say I've seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving and hysterical. but certainly some very good ones.

I would probably be dead by now if my friends hadn't collectively decided to stop enabling me. It takes a lot of courage to stop enabling an addicted friend, because we don't like telling friends "no" or making them unhappy, and when you stop enabling an addict they're going to be extremely unhappy. But they'll get over it and they'll eventually be grateful.

They'll still find ways to use if they really want to, but here's an example of the impact it can have: I started asking my friends if they minded if I had a drink on nights out. And they pretty quickly started saying they didn't want me to drink every time, and I would say "Okay," and stay sober. Similarly, I asked a friend for a ride to a gas station to buy booze before they stopped selling alcohol at 2. And he, very nicely but firmly, told me no, he wasn't going to enable my addiction. And I was a little annoyed but I didn't drink!

a rule of thumb for navigating tumblr as a social space that I adopted far too late at great cost:

you have a follower who is consistently behaving toward you in an unpleasant way

you may not feel motivated to block them on your own behalf for a variety of reasons (it's not that bad, I can handle it, I don't want to hurt their feelings, they probably don't mean any harm, etc.)

ask yourself: would I be comfortable with this person behaving this way toward my close friends and mutuals?

if not -> you need to block them right now

Things have a way of working out for me with no real planning. I was just lamenting the amount of money I've been spending getting to and from work without a car and my new coworker, completely unprompted, offered to start picking me up and dropping me off. And then a client gave me an Uber card.
