What the hell did they do to Tumblr while I was slumbering in the earth...

[stagmage]

Lmao so I moved out of a domestically violent situation, took two weeks to get my head in order after all of the stress, went "Hey, wait a second..." and called my ex-partner from 2021. No idea why, in hindsight. Just felt like I needed to call him. Turns out...he had been stalking and catfishing me for the last two and a half years. So, Merry Christmas to me! I was actually in TWO family violence situations at the same time and I didn't even know it! At least I've trauma bonded to my new apartment now. (I'm being glib, but it has not been a good time. If anyone still knows how to get to my WordPress, you can read all the gory details there, but I will warn you, it's 'abuse survivor processes' stuff, not 'relationship drama with popcorn' stuff. If you're into unstable psyches and feeling uncomfortable you might enjoy the read, but otherwise I'd stay well clear). seeing as he stalked me online, i'm locking down all of my accounts. I think my conditions make me kind of bad at the internet, and anonymity, and maintaining good boundaries. I sometimes think of tumblr and smile because it wasn't all tense and evil all of the time here, but i also needed to recognize that social media as a whole wasn't making me feel seen and supported and i'm glad that i took the big step away a few months ago. I'd rather blog than doomscroll. love and kisses to anyone who kept following the account. i'll probably be back when the random impulse strikes, but i'll just be poking in, screaming something into the void, and then vanishing without a trace again. (besides, if i blog too much, i won't be able to scroll down to the o'brein rumplestiltskin every time i remember to come back.)

I got approved for disability-supported housing, and today I am leaving my abuser for good, after eleven years and six previous attempts to escape.

I am so scared and so excited.

I have nowhere in my life to make the following three statements so I'm making them here.

1) The red pantsuit that the women in Temu advertisements wear is cunty as and I want a drag queen's take on it.

2) Holden fucking Bloodfeast got what he wanted, what the fuck. Wrote an article on my website for those who follow world politics.

3) After 10 years, I've resolved to go back and get my Masters of Teaching. I wrote my first lesson plan today and I'm feeling fundamentally fulfilled. "What is History" for grade sevens, I'm sure you'll revolutionise the world (sarcasm, but only barely).

That's all. See you at an unspecified time in the future.

Last posted in October of last year and it feels like several centuries ago. The world kinda went to hell in a handbasket quite quickly, huh?

Anyway on the off chance that anyone was wondering, I'm alive and doing pretty good. I spend much less time at home, I'm volunteering at a thrift store, and I'm broke as hell but I have my dog and my medication and everything is not awful all of the time.

Hope you're all being excellent to each other. I'm gonna lock myself out of my social media again now - might be back in another six months, who knows.

I used to spend like two hours a day here. So I cut it out when I was adjusting to ADHD meds and just used Reddit. Now I'm cutting Reddit out.

I think I'm gonna try and commit to the change, babes. I'm liking my life more without social media.

Won't deactivate, on the off chance that I get a job with mandatory desk time, but I don't expect to be back. Be excellent to each other ❤

you just don't get shit like this with 8-episode streaming seasons

Things are going okay. With ADHD under control, autism and trauma are more present and harder to deal with...but once I deal with them they seem to be staying dealt with for longer.

I also just WAS NOT sleeping for a while, until I discovered that I can set an alarm for 6am, take my meds then, and then go right back to sleep.

The adventure continues. I'm going to try going back to work next month, see how that treats me.

Four days into taking Vyvanse. I am calmer and more productive than I have been in...decades. Instant, effective relief from symptoms. Hallelujah.

need a bi4bi t4t m/f pairing where the girl is a giant freak and not in the "cute manic pixie" way but in the "unethical experiments in my fucked up laboratory" way and the guy is a golden retriever who thinks he can fix her. and he brings her cute bento lunches and she's like "bradley shut up put on your fucking gloves and hold this possum down so i can graft these giant grasshopper legs to it"
