My brain: You have so many tight deadlines. So many things on your weekly schedule. So many important jobs. You have to get important work done!!!

I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the man next to me on the train who chatted cheerfully to pass the time when we got delayed. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

btw this is doubly true for the trans users, users of color, and activist users who've experienced so much difficulty in getting their voices heard here. And for the artists and writers who shared their work so generously, in good faith that sadly hasn't been repaid. You endlessly enrich Tumblr with your presence and I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this and make these tough decisions

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

Some informal stats and experiences:

- I’d say 75ish% of the white houses I’ve been into in various is states have a “please remove shoes if you’re coming in any farther than the entryway” policy, but it’s more an Etiquette thing than a hard and fast rule

- ALL of them have a “No shoes on the furniture” policy and that is a hard and fast rule.

- I think we’re seeing a lot of “sometimes” because that rule is not a hard policy and it comes with a million exceptions like

  • “we have a small child and there are SO MANY legos”
  • “you don’t have to tak shoes off if they’re relatively clean and you’re only going to be here for a few minutes”
  • “we have a puppy who is teething they’re safer on your feet”
  • “I know you have special shoes for back pain PLEASE leave them on your health is more important than my carpet”
  • “we found out that the floor is 73% black mold and had to rip it out so there is plywood that is safe to stand on but will give you splinters while we wait for the actual flooring to arrive”

So I think the general policy in white households in the US in my experience is “please remove shoes indoors but it’s not that big a deal, and there is a significant chance the floor is an actual hazard to bare feet ATM”
