Twitter, tumblr, and a star trek fandom project
5 years ago
two journal entries in one week, who even AM i???
Anyway. So I finally went ahead and, with much resentment, made myself a twitter and a tumblr. I have not had these for several reasons, which mostly boil down to the fact that I have pretty severe social anxiety and both of those platforms are fast-moving, have a reputation for a lot of nastiness and cruelty, are public facing, and tend to take complex ideas and nuance and spin them wildly out of context in ways that do those things a major disservice. All of my concerns in those directions remain, buuuuut it is kind of the expectation that I have some kind of presence on those platforms. It's my intention to keep those as feeds, primarily, and keep my interactions either limited to a very small sphere, and/or have no interactions on them at all.
But i did make htem, and they're kind of sad without anyone interesting to watch, and most of the folks i watch and who watch me back on here are really interesting, so. if y'all have twitter or tumblr, let me know and I'll follow u.

Also, idk if there's any overlap to this at all, but if anyone participates in the star trek fandom, a friend of mine brought me in on a TOS/AOS zine project that's gonna shortly be looking for applicants. It is a shipping zine. if that sounds like something you might be interested in, shoot me a note and i'll send u more information. :3
