ON PLURK CUTS!
Hello friend! If you're seeing this, you probably realized you recently got cut from my plurk and were going ???? over it. I tried to give a heads up on plurk proper when I did the cut, but the problem with that is obviously people who missed it before they got cut... can't see why...
Anyway, first off: I promise it was not for personal reasons. Unfortunately, I recently realized somewhere in the last few years or so I've developed a hell of a social media addiction, and that it's essentially murdered my ability to do anything that requires staying off of Plurk etc. for more than maybe 20-30 minutes at a time— including all of my hobbies (LIKE RP...), or doing things with friends IRL. Which isss not healthy and also helping ruin my mental health :(
So— part of my attempt to get a handle on this is cutting my timeline way the fuck back, so I can then cut back the time I spend on there. (This also includes unfollowing some timelines so we can still chat but they're not showing up by default— again, if you think you're in that group, I promise it has nothing to do with dislike or anything like that. Feel free to ping me if you want to get my attention for something!) I deeply, deeply wish I had infinite time and energy and could keep everyone around, if you were on my timeline to begin with it was because I enjoyed having you there, but... I have grudgingly and unhappily finally admitted I just can't.
Anyway, please don't feel like a stranger '^' If you want to get into touch with me for whatever reason, I'll be happy to hear from you; feel free to send a PP my way, or hit me up on Discord— I'm at Opalinesque#1235. (Though fair warning I'm a little better at both checking and chatting via Plurk than Discord—I AM INCREDIBLY AWK IN DISCORD LOL—and am terrible at timely replies in both... if it's a while before I get back to you that's. Just who I am as a person, unfortunately...)
