Hello! I am alive, but I've been hit by the double-whammy of moving and being hit with some life complications.

HOWEVER, some lovely person went through and not only love-reviewed every single chapter of the last fanfic I wrote, they also wrote a tribute fanfic to it, and I might just cry. Review your favorite fanfic! Leave another comment if you want! It can really make someone's day!

Yesterday was #ExistransInter, and before that it was #ComingOut day, so here's my contribution via a (short) personal response to the anti-trans people and speeches I started in June on the occasion of the law against trans minors.

And today is also my 40th birthday, so it's time to take stock of my life.

Hier c'était l'#ExistransInter, et avant cela c'était la journée du #ComingOut, du coup voici ma contribution via une (courte) réponse personnelle aux personnes et discours anti-trans que j'avais commencé a faire en juin a l'occasion de la loi contre les mineurs trans.

Et c'est aussi mes 40 ans aujourd'hui, l'occasion de faire un point sur ma vie.

At my Tues trivia tradition w/ my friends this week, one of the questions asked us to produce the top 10 US based social media sites w/ the most daily active users.

Some other team put tumblr on their list and the quizmaster made fun of them for it and said, "wasn't it fun before tumblr died" and I said to my team, "yeah I'm not even a daily active user there anymore" and one friend audibly gasped because I've been tumblr girl to them for well over a decade.

So yeah, I guess this is my way of telling y'all I'm not tumblr girl anymore. As I've gotten my AuDHD assessment, I've uncovered some really unhealthy stuff I was doing and reducing phone time/news consumption has been critical for me.

For almost 2 months, I've took my "screen time" on this app from 4 hours a day to ~0 simply by deleting the app and only using desktop. It's meant I basically went from "always on" to checking like 1-3 times a week to see what's in my activity. I'm at a place where I don't really look at my dash anymore. Maybe like 15 mins a week? It wasn't even a process of like weaning myself more and more. I just kinda cold turkey-ed it w/ the app deleting. I was at what I'd say was a very unhealthy level of use (I got a reality check by starting to track screen time.)

Deleting this app didn't result in me shifting my phone time elsewhere, too. It basically means I went from like 6 hours phone time a day on average to 2. My partner of 22 years almost cried tears of joy when I told him I had done this. I was about 3 weeks in before I revealed it and he was like "OH MY GOD THAT'S WHAT HAS BEEN DIFFERENT" because that man has said more times that I can count how much he wished I wasn't on my phone so much missing out on stuff he's saying to me or life that's happening around me.

I love tumblr. Always will, it's change my life in infinite ways (just 1 relevant example: would I have known to go get an AuDHD assessment w/o it? FUCK NO) but I've just had to change my relationship w/ it for my own well being. Figured I may as well let y'all know that's what's up for me lately.

I don't plan to delete or anything. I'll just be slow to reply and infrequent to post now. It feels good.

Distancing myself from 8 & 12 year long friendships as they don’t seem to truly support or care about me & my intersectional identity, they just pretend they do since they’re a fake leftie but some of the strays I catch or situations where they dismiss me entirely have made me realise that they can honestly suck my big fat clit.

one of my favorite things about running this blog is looking at all the tags people leave on their reblogs of the art

and my other favorite thing about running this blog is when a post breaks containment and people are just seeing it on art/aesthetic blogs and stop noticing my URL but are still like “...Hannibal Lecter did this”

Heyo! @aghhtdraws here! This is my Usagi Chronicles and ROTTMNT sideblog! I was considering for a few minutes that maybe I should not make a whole sideblog, but then figured, hey, it'll be easier to organize text posts too next to all my art posts, right??

Anyway, welcome to my new blog!! I will be posting both the arts from my twitter (mostly phonedoodles) and then maybe a bunch of random observations and musings about Usagi Chronicles in general. Maybe some SRTUC and ROTTMNT reblogs too, if I'm feeling like it. Haven't used tumblr that much in the past 2 years so some things I might have to re-aquaint myself with (like posting art. they changed something about that a year or more ago)

Here is my flipnote Usagi gif from october last year! idk if the gif works but he should be blinking and smiling here lol. If not, well, maybe it'll work another time! Here's to a new year for more Usagi doodles!
