Just gotta survive what comes next
11 months ago
Yeah, I know, I haven't been doing a whole lot lately, but I might as well pick somewhere to put how I'm feeling. I'm not really active on any social medias but Discord these days, so this is about the best space I have to put thoughts to paper somewhere. This isn't exactly a queer haven, but it's close enough for me to feel comfortable writing this here.
I'm scared and anxious to shit about what's going to happen come 2025. I don't want to let that rule me, and I'm not going to let them break me, but even as I pay attention to those offering comfort and small bits of hope, boy oh boy is it overwhelming. Cling to your communities, cling to anyone who can support you right now and in the coming years. They probably (and hopefully) won't be able to do every last thing they want to do to us, but whatever happens, they're still going to do damage and everyone around us is going to need the support. Stick up for each other, and take care of yourselves in-between. Get involved if you can, locally especially, and be there for others as a shoulder to lean on if you can't. Don't be afraid to reach out for shoulders when you need one yourself.
This is gonna suck ass, one way or another but as a community, we owe it to ourselves to keep trucking through no matter what. Maybe there'll be relief in 2026, or 2028, or maybe we'll just get to have the satisfaction of watching them burn with us. Either way, let none of them have the satisfaction of watching us break. Easier said than done? Probably, but just giving up doesn't help any one of us. This is older than most of us, maybe all of us, and we just have the misfortune of being around for an especially bad period of shit. When all is said and done, let us be among the last standing in spite of them.
Also yeah I'll try and post more porn here. Sometimes a good wank is the short-term comfort you need, and also I just kinda need to actually be doing more of this. My life has had a lot of other focuses lately, and uh yeah I don't think I'm actually cut out for writing commissions. I find it very hard to write for anyone but myself, it turns out, and when I do write for someone else it works out a lot better when it's for friends or loved ones already on my wavelength. If any of y'all who took a commission from me... jesus, 3 or 4 years ago now... want a refund, I don't know if I'll be able to manage it soon, but let me know and I'll do it as soon as I'm able. (Maybe I'll manage better with 3D model or render commissions? That's a question for a near-future me, though.)
