midas touch? no no i said mid-ass touch. everything i touch turns mediocre

@bibbs i've heard it as "small web" or "indie web" but it just doesn't feel like a really... contiguous thing to me?

not that i think the distinction is a bad thing just i don't feel it does much in the grand scheme of things

@esm i'm really glad it's resonating with more people, thank you for reading it

@eblu from the faq:

Are only trans lesbians allowed?
No! The creators of this board are transbians and wanted to make a space for more people like them, but we welcome any likeminded people who would like to join <3

lesbiaboard started in 2018 with a much more pointedly "target audience" and now it's more like "shit man i just want people to vibe with"

@eblu i'm glad it strikes a chord with people other than me, that helps me feel less like i'm isolated in my thinking

@anna i found that forcing myself to make even the smallest, most inane of posts on my forum, has put new ideas on things to do in my head. i've yet to find the time to spend on working on them, but at least they're written down somewhere now

i feel like people don't take it seriously enough when i say that my life is online and think i'm just being cute

the internet was never a tool or a distraction for me

the internet is my home and my home is being taken over and destroyed

that is perhaps another blog post i should write
