Ehhhh I'm not in love with how much I overshare on bsky. Sensitive subject matter that seems fine here (behind an appropriate CW, natch) feels like it's exposed to way too much normie attention there.
I don't want attention from an audience of normie strangers, I want connection with people in spaces where it's safe to be myself. My profile bio has been updated to reflect that.
Someday I will want to share art somewhere again and, assuming it's still safe and legal to do that in the place where I live, that'll probably go onto another instance and not this personal account.

The more I think about it, the more I want to close up shop on bsky entirely. I'm only on there out of obligation. My profile's a mess. It adds so much stress to my life. I do not under any circumstances want to hold Influence over an Audience of Followers. Being on stage feels unsafe. I just want to have daily-enough contact with individual people I know and trust, and also have the opportunity to meet new people who I have things in common with. Wasn't that how things used to be on the Internet before the proliferation of mainstream social media? I want that back.
