We need to rally

This is LJ Strikethrough all over again. That shook our community up but we rallied. We made an archive of our own to keep ourselves safe. Now we need more. We need a social space. We need a place to share art, ourselves, and our daily lives.

This hellsite is kicking us off but honestly it was never intended for us from the start. This site doesn’t care about our privacy, our safety, and the support structure that fandom is for so many people.

Fandom is so much for so many people. Start planning. We need to make a move. Get contact info for your mutuals. Agree to keep your fandom name to wherever we go. Make discord or slack servers for your community in the interim.

There’s no guarantee of where we’ll end up, but we’ll get there. I’m imagining Dreamwidth or Pillowfort.io are the two most viable options. Reach out and get people in touch! Make a google spreadsheet for fandom contacts! Do something! Stay connected everyone. We will go on. This is my life’s research. Fandom is resilient. We will continue

Hi everybody.

Quick update on the status of WarriorMale.

Right now I’m attempting to back up this enormous blog.

I would hate to see it deleted after 4 years and 60,000 posts.

I feel like I’m on the Titanic and we just hit the iceberg. Instead of going down with the ship I’m trying to save WarriorMale.

I’ll let all of you know if he made it into the lifeboat!
