i have been thinking a lot lately about how i make decisions about my romantic life. this is complicated by the fact that i have a hard time feeling my emotions as they happen, especially when subtle distinctions are important, like the difference between the beginnings of a long term sustainable love and something that can be fun for a while but won't last very long. i am tired of trying to do relationships the "normal" way, or even the normal for polyamory way. just imagining doing it makes me physically tired.

i'm starting to transition off of all of the corporate social media platforms for a lot of reasons, and the one i think i'll miss the most is tumblr. it is an incredibly effective meme generator, simply due to both the size of the community and how easy it is for adjacent communities to "infect" each other we new ones. it also had some of the best semi-public communities i've ever participated in (and also some of the worst, but that's how it goes, i guess), which has largely gone away due to them making changes needed to monetize their user base as hard as possible. there is, by definition, only one way to maximize profits from a social media website.
