Social Media

I will post anything and everything that pops into my mind. I don't really want to separate my interests into 10 different blogs. You're gonna be getting garden blogging, along with cat pics, historical cannibalism research, and my spongebob porn.

I try to add alt text to as much of my own art as possible. Really crappy private posts may not get alt text.

I tend not to reply to posts by people I don't know or follow. I may attempt to answer public questions that say in the post that they're looking for answers.

• I will use Content Wrappers/Warnings and tags for things that the platform requires, such as cartoon gore and explicit sexual content.
• I will use Content Wrappers/Warnings and tags for things I would not want other people to read over my shoulder in public. Such as war, politicians, complaining, violence, assault, male presenting nipples, and many more.
• I don't use CWs for animals, bugs, or food. Those are things I regularly post about, so I will use hashtags and keywords on those posts. Please mute those keywords as needed.
• I don't post live action porn or IRL gore. I might share nude photography occasionally.

You should feel free to follow, unfollow, and block my accounts at anytime. I don't care about breaking mutuals or whatever.

“A boundary is something you have control over with a clear action you are capable of taking as a consequence.

“Don’t talk to me if you’re a Nazi” — This is not a boundary, this is a demand and it’s not something you have any control over. Nazis can and will initiate contact with whoever they want.

“If you talk to me and I find out you’re a Nazi, I will block you” — A boundary. A clear cause and effect that YOU have control over.”

DNI (Do Not Interact lists) are common online. But there are plenty of people I would prefer not to interact with, but I have no control over it. Whether it's subway molesters or guys drizzling beer on you at concerts.

In real life I would physically move my body from such people and/or shove them. Online, all I can do is mute, block, and ignore.

I mute/block people who I frequently see in random threads being argumentative and annoying to strangers. I don't care that my online feed is an echo chamber actually. I like seeing art and cool bug facts on my timeline, and I don't have time to see shit I hate. I don't need to be debating strangers online to feel fufilled, because I have a fufilling life outside of coercing strangers into arguments.

I don't like QRT¹⁾ dunking. Even if it's supposedly justified cuz the original poster is a shitty person, I don't want to engage with assholes or see their shitty takes on my timeline. Maybe that's fun for someone else, but I'd rather use my very limited energy to share things that I've found helpful or enjoyable. It's so draining to see awful people and their awful takes. My brain was not meant to handle knowing more than like 5 people in a room.

I mute/block people who are obsessed with proship/antiship stuff on either side. Republicans are fucking awful and want to straight up murder people, but doesn't mean I like Democrats either.

I mute/block people whose feeds are full of porn I dislike.

I mute/block people if I don't like their icon or username.

I mute/block people if they complain about people muting/blocking them.

Y'know. Just mute/block people for whatever reason. Who cares. I don't become friends with every single person IRL, and I don't do it online either.

i've largely abandoned “minors dni” as a label in my bio, mainly because i believe minors should be able to talk to an adult that isnt in their immediate surroundings, but also because i was a minor once upon a time and without the few adults who did talk to me, i would have been completely ignorant of what was to come in early adulthood, i would have been so much more naïve and susceptible to manipulation, so on and so forth

My posts are very crude and meant for adults. I can't stop kids from accessing whatever they want online, be it shock videos or pornography. I remember being a curious kid too, and I don't think demanding IDs or other identifying information online is safe at all. But I also don't think that kids should be talking to adults about gore and porn, especially if they're self-identifying their underage status.

I may mute and/or block under-18's online as needed. If an under-18 messages me about art advice, I do try to be helpful. I won't be particularly social with some kid because like. I'm not paid or trained to be a babysitter/teacher. I spew a bunch of random bullshit and I don't want kids internalizing any bullshit I will say.

I'm fairly annoyed by the “kids these days are so stupid and puriteens and tenderqueers and blah blah” that many people seem to develop once they hit like… 25 LMAO. Yeah I've been harassed by a bunch of stupid teenagers too, and kids can be abusers too or whatever, and I don't tolerate shitty behavior from anyone regardless of age. But it's just fucking weird to complain all day about kids. Don't become the old-out-of-touch defensive intolerant curmudgeon you hate!
