I've been using this account a lot, mainly for private notes and writing crap first drafts.
Besides that, I've functionally vanished from the internet and meatspace:
I ditched Twitter and (besides the invisible-inc tag) Tumblr
I have deliberately avoided everything to do with gamedev, even projects I knew people were hyped for
I haven't been to any local meets; and
I have barely hung out with anyone IRL
The reasons are myriad and not, as one may initially suspect, due to bigots on the internet (although they give me the shits). I tried a few times to describe these reasons, but words fall short. There's a part of me feels that if only I explain how I feel in The Right Way that the problems will stop, and I'm well aware that part of me is mistaken.
The most succinct explanation would be: 'I choose to no longer spent my precious time around people who think The Onion is a good website'
Anyway! I'm not dead. I'm of reasonably good health. I adamantly refuse to go anywhere for Christmas. I attempted and so far have failed a fun craft project. I am writing and reading more (a lot of Ursula K Le Guin and a tentative return to AO3). I watched all of the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime which is a Trip.
I'm aimless, confused and more often than not terrified, but I'm doing okay and even capable of having fun on occasion, which is good enough for now.
I'll be making public posts now and then, to become reacquainted with stating my thoughts in more than 140 characters.
