I'm gonna be rebuilding over at sylvansoldier, if you wanna know where to find me.
I miss writing and drawing with you all, and ever since I left my job, I've been feeling so much better.

I miss writing and drawing with you all, and ever since I left my job, I've been feeling so much better.
So. I quit my job of 11 years yesterday. Which has been at least 4 years overdue. And I gave myself a nice 2 week vacation before starting the new position, so I'm hoping to dust off some of the cobwebs and get back to doing what I loved, here.
(( Happy Pride, you beautiful cryptids. Roll in some clover and eat all the takeout you can get your hands on. Hug your friends and remember to take your vitamin D. ))

My ride-or-die Ship Dynamic™️
( Seeing some folks on the timeline I haven't seen in ages. Are you as bone-achingly exhausted as I am? Isn't it strange how this place still feels comforting? I miss it. )

face holding is something that is so precious and personal to me. yes, grab my face or cradle it in your hands. i'll gladly put myself under the mercy of the strength of those hands.
( Not gone, just depressed and exhausted in more ways than one. Desperately trying to find a new job or figure out how to go freelance. Gonna try to move forward with remaking the blog and moving Tess. )
( Well, unfortunately, I didn't manage to finish the signs in time, but all that's left is a little soldering to connect the IR sensors to the microcontrollers. But here's how they'll look when they're done. )
( Also, caught a nasty cold right before Xmas and still fighting it off. Can't catch a break. )
( I've been getting spambot followers at a shockingly steady pace. Like 1 per day every day for the past week. )
( got caught up making gifts for my friends and nephews for xmas. soldering is intimidating, and making usb cables is a little more complicated than it looks, but it is satisfying. once the present projects are finished, I will be getting back to working on Tess' new blog. here are some progress pics of my crafting. )

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry
- fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
- adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
- the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
- liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
- preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
- no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
- liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
- just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
- some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
- no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
- abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
- y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
- fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
feel free to add more
THE WAY I SPED TO HIT REBLOG-

This is not a drill. Our new Community Guidelines are here.
We recently introduced Community Labels to give everyone more control over their dashboard experience. With this new feature, you can adjust your feed to your preferred comfort level by setting the types of content you want to see. It was our first step toward a more open Tumblr.
Today, we’re taking the next step: We now welcome a broader range of expression, creativity, and art on Tumblr, including content depicting the human form (yes, that includes the naked human form).
So, even if your creations contain nudity, mature subject matter, or sexual themes, you can now share them on Tumblr using the appropriate Community Label so that everyone remains in control of the types of content they see on their dash.
We have updated our Community Guidelines to reflect these changes; the rest of our content policies remain the same: We still don’t allow hate, spam, violent threats, or anything illegal, and visual depictions of sexually explicit acts remain off-limits on Tumblr (if you want to know more about that, our CEO Matt recently explained why it’s not feasible for us to safely and successfully support porn communities at this time). If you come across these types of content, please continue to report them to us.
Similarly, if you come across content on Tumblr that doesn’t appear to be appropriately labeled, please let us know. This is how we’ll work together to create safer spaces for everyone on Tumblr, whatever their interests and needs.
We hope this shift creates more room for artistic expression to flourish on Tumblr while empowering each of you to craft your own experience and safely explore and discover the things you love.
( Holy shit I don't know if this is the most brilliant or the most spiteful thing I've ever seen. )
( Okay, goal for tonight: new blog. I really miss writing Tess. )
( Saw Ghost live tonight. Holy crap, that was incredible. I would die for Keytar Ghoulette. )
