haunting a new house
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for following me here from that other site. I'm still getting used to Buttondown's interface and redirecting approximately ten thousand links, but it's been pretty smooth so far. I was working (quite joyously) on a ranking of every movie I saw in 2023 when said other site affirmed its intention to continue profiting off the dissemination of far-right materials, so that probably won't be out on Friday the 29th like I'd intended, but hopefully I can post it in 2023. (And paid tier, I owe you a December post!)
Today is December 28th, and it's the first day since Friday the 22nd that I haven't woken up seized with dread over having to hastily throw my old blog in a duffel bag and flee into the night. Which is a very nothing thing to be stressed out about, I realize, but I hate Christmas, (the whole Christmas season) so the time of year has compounded my poor mental state. And now it's about to be 2024??? What the fuck is 2024? It has no identity; I'm afraid of it. New year, new me! Because I don't want my shit on a Nazi platform! Which is just going to become more of a Nazi platform, now that everyone else is leaving! And that does not make me less afraid of 2024!
Let's not end on that note. I'm glad I have a new space, and I'm very excited to decorate it. We can conceptualize 2024 the same way, to the best of our ability.
My old blog will be up until January 1st, if you need it for any reason. I assume any emails you've already received are yours to keep, even if the newsletter itself no longer exists. We'll see! Everything is archived here, but if you'd like an older post re-emailed, just let me know!
