Next Stop: the Distance


Not really a cat. Though there’s one in my lap who would love to take over control of the keyboard. Augh! *perishes*

I vascilate wildly between not tagging for a year at a time and tagging obsessively, but I'll always tag for NSFW stuff, heavy shit and negativity. I solemnly swear I will never change my username. I have a my creations tag, which contains silly photos of my nerdy toys and our cats, and a few picture-inspired drabbles, but mostly links to where you should really be looking for my fanfics. I do not host anything here that is not also on my LJ, DW, FFN and/or AO3 accounts.

ICYMI: Twitter is cracking down on 'inactive accounts', starting right now. Accounts are already being taken down for inactivity.  What I had ASSUMED though, that it'd be counts that were maybe 3 years inactive, 5 years, 10 years maybe. NO, IT'S 30 DAYS!  Gone for a month?

GO LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW

If you manage an account for a small business or a personal project, go log into your account right now and back up your work.

Things are getting worse on Twitter by the day and the suspensions are not rumors, they are happening. Please make sure to make copies of things you don’t want to lose forever.

I talked about this on my Twitter already, but it’s especially important to keep hammering in this one major point: this policy applies to the accounts of people who are deceased. Other social media sites have protocols to deal with the dead, and Twitter does not.

Shon Howell was a good friend of mine. He’s better known as King Cheetah, a prolific furry artist that had been active since the 90s. In early 2019, he died from cancer, leaving all of his art and social media accounts abandoned.

Once this policy was announced the other day, I realized what that meant. So I went back to check Shon’s Twitter, and…

Thankfully, I do have a huge archive of all of his work, and I’m in the process of tracking down and preserving anything that’s left. But keep in mind, especially if you’re an artist and use Twitter as your main platform: go somewhere else. Make sure your work is elsewhere. Make sure you can be contacted elsewhere. Twitter clearly has no concern about archiving your posts anymore because Elon fucked things up and seems to be invested in continuing to make it worse.

Genuinely surprised they didn’t manage to sneak a few seconds of Zelensky past the “no politics” rule, btw. I had to be reminded that rule even exists, the way this year went down!

Congratulations, Sweden!

I was gonna ask if you guys still have any original spots left to host next year, but a quick look at wikipedia tells me you already ran out of those in 2016. XD

Gotta say it real quick before I feel obligated by personal tradition to congratulate them on the win, but I don’t want Sweden to win, waaaah.

Siiiiiiiiiigh.

But OH WELL.

I spoke too soon (or posted too late), because Belgium is getting a fascinating amount of 12 points these past few countries. Good for you, Belgium!

Glad Iceland sent another weirdo to be weird about the points announcement, because all these points for Sweden all the time are getting really repetitive.

The Australian commenters having breakfast in their booth to show solidarity with the home front. XD

The Australian performers too! Bwahaha.

Not a lot of points from us to Belgium, but better some than none, right?
