Am I back? Who knows?

I made an attempt at a permanent social media hiatus this year. This was after finding that quitting Twitter/Reddit, dropping off the face of tumblr, and unfollowing everyone from my Facebook social feed so I could simply use the platform to buy local furniture and check municipal announcements left me a generally calmer, happier individual.

And well... I'm still a happier, calmer individual--despite some major stressors cropping up at work over the past few months, but I also have realized that I probably need to break up with one of my current online social circles I was still in touch with via Discord. Nothing melodramatic, but I've realized that social media and online posting for a bit may be a bit less toxic and more easily curated than this crowd, and I'm going to try to seek enrichment through other venues for a while.

So here I am again.

Hi o/

I have a very tightly curated experience with Twitter/tumblr, in that I only follow links shared with me and don't actually log in myself because I get too stressed, but I do still love DW (forgetting to check my reading page for 2 weeks notwithstanding).

I curated pretty tightly, myself! I've been surprised to come back and realize how little discourse I encounter on an average bout of tumbling (I'm pretty reluctant to ever set foot back on Twitter at this point, though).
