First chapter of my old man fan fiction is up 🫡

i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭

Had an idea for a comic and was upset that I’d probably never draw it, then remembered that the cookie run comic creator is literally a thing that exists lmao

Everyone in the same limbo waiting for mods to update while a new expansion pack is out is always so funny…

Tumblr legitimately has the worst DM system ever like wdym no sound notifications no favorites or friends list no editing no reactions 90% of pictures don’t send and it’s impossible to keep notifications on if you have more than 10 followers so I am reduced to keeping their stupid as fuck website open so I can pathetically refresh my dms like I’m awaiting a response from a carrier pigeon

Tagged by @odeblr to catify myself! Thanks for the tag!!!

I give extreme orange cat vibes. I am very stupid, and I joke that my younger sibling has the braincell all the time. I actually wear glasses! And Halloween is my fav holiday so we had to add Halloween deco.
