@alimcgowen although we all exist in these corporate-driven spaces, it doesn't make the connections we made and the things we did any less important, you know? it's hard to deal with a corporation deciding a place that was so important to you as 'no longer profitable'. it's ok to mourn that. and to mourn the fact that life just isn't as simple as it was so many years ago. it's hard. i wish i had a better fix other than to say remember to be kind to yourself. it's ok to be upset about this. <3
@alimcgowen (hello stranger let me just wander in here) - honestly i feel you deeply. one of the things that makes digital spaces really hard is that they're digital, you know? it's ephemeral. it was so real to us and so important to us, but now it can all disappear so quickly. it's not like a building where you can save a brick or even an old sketchbook, but instead it's just gone. that's hard. and it's okay to let yourself be upset about that.
@kara@witchcraft.cafe (oh hey, something i actually kinda know about indirectly) - my father's had some good success observing it lately! iirc he actually suggests looking at it before 'peak time', when there's not a fuller moon to muck things up. (idk where that is in current timeline tho.) definitely worth pulling out some binoculars and seeing if there's a hole in the clouds even before you head out on vacation!

it's a good thing i can't be super obnoxious like on myspace and make a song play whenever people viewed my page because i'd just slot the furcadia opening midi in there and listen carefully to hear people groaning and wincing from the blow of sheer nostalgia in order to locate people roughly my age
