At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.

everyone's heard of this, right? per ap article of apr 8, 2026:

Fascism thrives best in the cesspool of hopelessness. They want us so confused and hopeless that we give in. When you give in, you don’t fight back.

If you wait for life to look good to do the things that bring you joy; life will still be bad - you will just have less joy.

As someone who has struggled with my mental health a lot for the last thirty years, I know this struggle firsthand. And changing this belief system - the one where you spend all of your time expecting bad things so you won’t be surprised when they happen - it’s the hardest work that I have ever done. And I’m not perfect; I still have setbacks. I still experience really real fears about the state of the world and the US, in particular, because that’s where I live.

But I made a vow to myself that I will not let the choices of others ruin my life. When I made that vow, I was thinking of my parents - but it applies to the state of the government right now, too.

There are still flowers in my garden, and ripe tomatoes, and it’s almost pick-your-own apples season, and I have plans with my friends to go to as many cemetery ghost walks as we can find this October.

I still deserve to live. I still deserve to laugh. I still deserve to love. I still deserve to be as happy as I can be.

“One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us.”

offers a variety of post types

desktop browser accessible

customizable features for those inclined

is famously difficult to monetize, so people here post for the love of the game

in fact, the ads are often so hilariously bad i’ve thought some were shitposts and have tried to reblog them

no shop feature that encourages random people to become advertisements, leading to 60% of posts becoming a shill for landfillslop

has never asked me for my contacts

has never asked me to turn on location services

is not subject to the liquid panopticon of turning neighbor against neighbor (e.g republican kirk witchhunt)

large amount of text based posts that can allow for nuance and discussion

the unique and organic community that is here. tiktok tried to recreate goncharov and it sucked and was just some girl’s attention promo. the years long inside jokes. the site-specific holidays. dracula daily and jokes about classic lit.

the rejection of infantilizing, self censoring euphemisms like unalive or grape

seeing the posts from people i follow in chronological order

nobody i know to see me engage in “cringe” interests

They’re just… not monetizing it or trading on their fame or making a big name for themselves in the outside world. You’re not going to see them on the “internet celebrity” edition of Worst Cooks in America or anything. But they very much are notable people on this site.

This isn’t the place to chase clout or fame. It’s the place to have fun.
