PSA 

Yeah, after three more toots from friends-of-friends making really low attacks on cis people... I think I'm ready to take that social media break I was talking about.

This account will still take DMs. I might post occasionally. But heartwise, my bags are basically packed. I don't belong here like I used to, nor like some of you have generously insisted I do.

Bye. Sorry none of this worked.

@zebratron2084 Be safe out there. Safe travels, and I look forward to seeing your manticore friend once y'all get situated down there.

@Balina I'll be back! My friends here ain't generally the problem, but the culture here in my neighborhood of Masto is turning ugly in a way I can no longer deny. I don't feel like I can be totally safe and respected here unless I pretend to be things I'm not too sure I am.

At the least, I need some time out of The Radical Queerpol Bubble so I can figure out who the hell I _actually_ am. I don't think I can do that here, no matter how well-meaning the pressure to be Not A Mere Cis Dude is...
