I have just turned 57 years old - please do not congratulate me on this, it sucks and entropy sucks - and whereas I would normally do a thing where I encourage you, in lieu of you sending well-wishes, to give $ to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin (which you should anyway, please), my "cause" this year is this:

If you are still on a website where you contribute free content to a self-attested-"red-pilled" (an actual synonym for neo-Nazi) billionaire sociopath prick who bought that website to help effect massive cross-cultural false equivalency buoying the opinions of similarly stupid pricks and thereafter exclusively canoodled with online neo-Nazis, floated racist/Qanon tropes and thereby worked to validate literal fascism, please close your account and make a new online life in a better place that doesn't do that, which, if you are reading this, you already have one foot in.

Be the fuck-you-you-absolute-assbag you wish to see in the world. Thank you and much love.

Y'all are chasing working artists away from this place by harping on how "sad" and "pathetic" it is for them to hope for a large follower count here.

It's not about attention. It's about their bottom line. More followers means more commissions, more customers in their online shops, more direct exposure to people with hiring power. It's honestly really cruel to keep acting like they want adulation when really they just want to pay rent.

They have ample reason to mourn what they built.
