hello everyone. this will likely be the last post on this blog for a little while.
to start off, i would like to say that any usage of "you" used in this post is not intended to be personal or an attack to you, specifically. it is used in a general, generic way.
we are privating this blog. it will not be deleted, it will likely come back. but at least until we are in a better mental state, it is going to be privated.
to tell the truth, this blog piled on exam stress has made us suicidal in a way that we have not been since we were 14. it feels, some days, like everyone is looking for ways to attack us. i understand that this is not true, but that does not make the feeling go away.
we are not angry at any specific people - we have done our fair share of mistakes since creating this blog - we just realised that running such a big blog at this point in our life is not conducive to good mental health. we are taking steps to help ourself, because we cannot run this blog at this time.
in future, when we re-open the blog, we ask that people try and assume good faith. we ask that people do not dog-pile onto us or any of our followers. and we ask that people send asks to other blogs as well. we are hardly the only ableism-focused blog, and it is difficult to answer 80 asks a day, vet them all for things we agree or disagree with, highlight the nuance, and add plaintext/descriptions where necessary.
this is not caused by anything or anyone specific. if we find any attacking done on our behalf, we will be blocking, and reporting if necessary. you are not helping.
and, to be clear, we do not want apologies. it is not your fault. it is no ones fault but our own for not taking this step before-hand. we appreciate all of you for your support, when given, and we are glad we built a community, even if we have to step back.
and please, remember that despite the plural pronouns, we are still one body, with our own disabilities. be nice, okay?
