hi i just reblogged that ‘fiction that made you cry’ post and talked about twist and shout. and then went to the notes and saw you just did the same thing LOL. i’m glad i’m not the only one still being haunted!

I felt you in my legs

When you decide to bring back a memory of an old fic and accidentally trigger a generational trauma.

having seen what you said about the death threats you've received and as someone who 1) also received death threats on tumblr and knows how that can affect someone, and 2) actually also works in tech and has a clue what they're talking about, i just wanted to say something positive and insist that IMO, the automattic buyout was one of the best things that happened to tumblr in years. it's been the first time we've seen this site bought by someone who genuinely cares about it, understands it, and has an actual plan for its survival. as a creator on this site, this matters to me greatly. additionally, on a more work-related note, having listened to a couple of podcast interviews, the way you ethically think about monetisation and see content moderation as something that should actually be regulated by governments rather than private companies is truly refreshing (and true!). i really hope that this setback doesn't sign the end of tumblr as a project for the team because i truly think automattic has been the best owner so far.
