i went through my ad on tumblr to see if there was anything worth saving and i got so horribly sad actually
it was a different time and everything seemed so simple and i didnt have to worry about gender or feelings or aceness or
why did everything have to get so complicated
i spent so much time on that account rbing stuff from my partners so it could be signalboosted, leaving comments and tags everywhere and now thats
gone too
2011-2015 was so important to me and tumblr was my home and nothinf was complicated and everything made sense and i hate that im crying over a corporate garbagefire
@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.
@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
