#my post was mainly a callout to more entitled readers

[chrollohearttags]

People like you are a gift to the tumblr writing scene. It would make sense to lose motivation when your work isn’t adequately appreciated by readers. But I can assure you that a lot of black readers are so grateful for your art. I can’t speak for all of us, but I can speak for the ones who, after reading your work, feel like their black womanhood is desired and cherished by their fave characters in all their glory. And for that I applaud you. Whether you continue to write or quit, that’s solely your prerogative. But no matter what you do going forward, just know that your stories have already left a lasting impact on us. So thank you.

P.S. I will continue to rb your posts if that’s ok with you, I haven’t finished reading your gems 🙏🏽

hi sweetness! First off, I wanna thank you so much for your kind words. They mean the absolute world and I’m so glad that you all appreciate my stories. I always write with the intention of making my blog feel like a love letter to black women so that means more than you could know 🥹🫶🏾 I don’t want anyone thinking that I’m unappreciative or not seeing all of you guys’ support. I was just speaking for a place of not only myself but other writers as well who may feel discouraged because their work is being overshadowed. And when we see some readers either complaining or just flat out refusing to RB, it becomes a little frustrating. Trust me, there’s so many people who deal with it way worse than me. I don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon and I hope that y’all continue reading and supporting not just myself but all the other talented black writers as well! 🫶🏾

Honestly, though, I'm an old lady and shit like this gets tedious to try and read. I don't mind when the entire post has one singular font or size change, because usually it's for legibility reasons more so than ~aesthetic~. I just really hate when the entire post is just completely illegible. It's also usually very exclusionary towards those of us with visual impairments that rely on text-to-speech readers because those programs don't recognize the letters as they display and will proceed to speak out each individual character's browser codepoint rather than the letter it's supposed to represent. Certain browsers and smartphones have this problem, too.

Callout posts. I've been on this trash hellsite for longer than most of you have been adults (that's a real accomplishment for me, I know. 🙄) and I know for a fact that every single one of us hasn't always been our best towards someone else in some way or another. It happens, we're complex creatures: most of us with some kind of chemical imbalance in our brains. This is why I believe most callout posts aren't necessary and, more often than not, they only prove to stoke the flames of whatever stupid internet drama someone's involved in. Callouts have rapidly devolved from serious warnings from extremely dangerous, frightening individuals to weird displays of entitlement wherein folks demand the mass-unfollowing of an individual because they've discovered they are incompatible as friends. I don't think anybody has the right to completely destroy someone's reputation because they got into a fight with them privately and have learned that one or both parties are not yet mature enough to handle conflict in a grown-up manner. It's not anyone's fault that they don't know when to walk away from a failing and incompatible friendship other than their own, you know? I just don't have the energy for this type of shit anymore. I don't believe it's my responsibility to navigate fucking tumblr of all places by having to tip-toe around and remember to avoid the specific people that someone who follows me has personally had beef with. I've got too much shit going on in my life, I'm not going to remember that and it's extremely unfair to expect me to. I'm sorry, I know it's not easy to hear but the only person that's responsible for your online safety and comfort is you.

This website has blocking features. This website has reliable filters that remove posts you don't want to see on your dashboard. Learn what browser extensions and add-ons are, and if possible, stop using tumblr on your mobile device. There are steps you can take to protect yourself that don't require making sure other people remember to keep track of this stuff for you, too. Sorry about the rant, I'm just getting too old and extremely sick of social media, honestly.

The sexual exploitation of children is absolutely unacceptable in my book. Which is, y'know, pretty universally understood to be a no-no across nearly all creeds and walks of life. But, as someone who mainly writes for villains, you'd be surprised by how much I've been approached for shit like that.

Fuck that, and fuck you if you have the balls to ask me to write something like that with you, or if you try to write me into that corner. :) Thanksssssssssssssssssss
