i finally decided to get off instagram (for the most part, still working on it) and twitter and last night i realized i didn't need to go on either after the grammys and it was SO freeing! highly suggest it to anyone still on twitter/instagram! i have just been focusing on how exciting the grammys are and taylor looked like she was having so much fun :D

this is just it.

I won't deny that I occasionally get the impulse to re-download Twitter because it used to be the easiest way to keep up with current events like the news, so when we're in a time of tumult, it was a good aggregate of reporting sources. But that has gone downhill since it was bought out, and it's certainly been a dumpster fire since the election. I had made the mistake of re-downloading it after the inauguration to kind of keep up with what was going on (and dipped my toes in the Swiftie waters again) but I finally deleted it again last week because it's just so, so bad. The algorithm is designed to enrage and it's designed to make you addicted and react to everything. Every single thing because an Issue but it's a tempest in a teapot.

(And candidly I think the revelations in a certain legal complaint about how social media is deliberately manipulated to flood feeds with certain opinions to cause harm should be eye-opening to everyone if it hadn't already been about how these platforms use your eyeballs to do their dirty work and recognize when it's happening.)

No discourse on twitter ever actually makes it to real life, and everything is replaced by a new scandal in 24 hours. Like I've said before, if online discourse had any measurable impact on real life, there would have been a much different election result. So I think folks need to take that same principle and apply it to their fandom stanning as well. Any perceived issue that arises against their fave (whether it's Taylor or Beyonce or whoever) never really matters, so why bother arguing with strangers on the internet? Just focus on what you love. Now, obviously there are some things that breach containment and become Real Issues, but... there are also people whose jobs it is to deal with those.

I had to back off Instagram in the last year because it was making me feel like shit -- I know Instagram isn't real life, but seeing my friends and acquaintances' lives (or even creators) while I'm feeling increasingly stuck in mine was making me feel even worse about myself than usual. And it sucks because as someone who loves content creation and photography it was such a fun way to be inspired and see creative work, just like it was a great way to keep up with what my friends are up to. And now that Meta has said the quiet part out loud and proudly, I'm not interested in giving its platform more of my time than needed. (I still occasionally use it, but I can't scroll like I used to.)

If you're into social media for fandom stuff, honestly, I can't implore people enough to consider eliminating or at least reducing the use of places like Twitter or TikTok in particular. They're preying on your attention and it's only going to get worse from now on. Stop worrying about what other fans or even antis are saying, and just focus on what you actually *like*. It's as simple as that.

Anyway that's a long-winded way of saying I'm so happy you enjoyed last night!!! May we all find such pockets of joy in these extremely bleak times!

Who’s afraid of little old Ani? 💀 You should be. This song has always given me Anakin vibes. I wanted to do a whole comic, but I didn’t get further than these two doodles, so I just added some colour to make them more interesting! I neeeed to draw more Sith!Anakin, I have so many AU head canons.
