So much for somnambulism.

E, 33, multi-fandom fangirl.

Nothing felt better this week than doing a CLEANSE of 14 years of tumblr content. I've been here since mid 2012 with a single blog over that time. THIS blog over that time.

I've been MIA for a couple of years on here because... I found my person and built a real life with them! This place will be more sporadically used going forward and I will endeavour to not end up with 20k posts to deal with.

I haven't changed much, just got older, a few greys coming in, and some eye wrinkles from living life to the fullest. Writing and fandoms have had to come third in life, with real adult job and general life taking precedence. I may occasionally still get chances to write a short fic here and there but I make no promises.

The Stats:

-Started with 29,425 posts

-Down to 4,046 posts

>Started with 181 followers (many of dubious heritage and purpose)

>Down to 28.

Now to go and manually manage... 69,797 "likes" (omg send help)

In honour of a dance move, some fictional characters and a cat in a candle shop, have some artwork.

Pas De Deux is out now, authored by my international bestie

ALSO, say it incorrectly in the stereotypical Aussie accent! I promise you saying “pass de ducks” is worth the nonsense of saying it. It cheered me up immensely the other day.

BTW for anyone too lazy to do the math a wage of $125 a day works out to about $15/hour for an 8-hour workday so..... someone in 1923 definitely had a vision of the future

Self Care Tips From Tumblr: When you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, eat. When you feel like you hate yourself, shower. Someone out there feels better because you exist.

Dear internet community…

Heads up that if for whatever reason you need to wean off Lexapro (aka escitalopram oxylate, a common SSRI anti-anxiety med) …

Don’t do what I did.

I misunderstood my doctor (who is lovely, if a bit straightforward) and weaned off my meds entirely in the month between appointments.

You know what you’re NOT supposed to do with lexapro?! Wean off them as quickly as that.

“What are you supposed to do?!” I hear you ask…

Weaning off it supposed to take about 2-3 MONTHS. NOT WEEKS. MONTHS.

It has some pretty gnarly side effects as you come off. For me, I’ve now been dizzy for a month solid, and the random crying episodes can go to hell.

I’m 6/6 with this checklist 😅😅😅

keep seeing Temu ads on here so just to share cause idk if people are widely aware

EDIT TO ADD: here’s a snopes article some lovely people have been reblogging with. imo it essentially confirms the claims made above but always do your own research and decide for yourself - i’m just a person in the internet. ALSO just to clarify i absolutely do not support or participate in sinophobia - the app could be from the moon for all i care i shared to make people aware of its aggressive data mining (something which apps from all countries can and have been guilty of)

Mental health struggles sometimes feel like this to me. Stuck inside, observing the mess, and waiting for it to pass.

For my forever bestie, @petalstofish. In honour of Fearlessly Yours, Red, and the fact that she’s dealing with some *stuff*.
