Fyi I'm on Insta, Bluesky, Threads, and Spoutible. I loved this app for so long and enjoy talking to all of you so much. Will try to stick around, but follow me elsewhere.
Like don't get me wrong I'm extremely concerned about the dark path artists will have to navigate in the coming fascist hellscape where ignorant hicks become our tastemakers but also I kinda would not be mad if they brought back HeeHaw

You still have your family.
You still have your friends.
You still have your work.
You still have your passions.
You still have your diversions.
You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so.
You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone.
And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.
