hello to anyone out there still reading!! i have decided to officially retire from tumblr. as a young adult, this was such an important place for me to develop my sense of self and be in community with people who cared about the same causes. tumblr helped me temporarily escape from and survive pressures at home; it even helped connect me with new support systems, both in person and over the interwebspace. but over the past several years, i have watched as many of my original companions and my favorite communities have either left this site or evolved towards other interests.

so i am now on twitter (or instagram i guess) for anyone who would still like to connect. just inbox or DM me and i will lyk my username (when i check my tumblr once in a blue moon). i am leaving the blog up for posterity~~
