Do y'all remember when a young black artist was dog piled and driven out of the Star Wars fandom because a bunch of mostly yt fans said they got Finn's skin tone too light and were r@*ist?

Do y'all remember that, even before the movie came out, it was obvious on here that people were going to be gunning for that but then complained no one wanted to draw him?

Do y'all remember how the young artist tried to explain their ethnicity and how much they were excited and looked up to Finn and that it was a limited color palette challenge, etc. etc. but no one listened?

Yeah, that was my last straw wake-up call to the toxicity.

I hit my head pretty F'ing hard today so I've had the family monitoring me for a concussion, and...How the hell do you tell concussion symptoms from my ADHD?!?!

Checking back in here with the violets I had for lunch yesterday. (Great for the lymph system)

I've deleted FB, Twitter, and the new Spoutible from my phone at least for the week. I had so much hope for Spoutible, then he went and tried to make lawyer/author and all around bad ass Courtney Milan, a villain.

People are addicted to the drama. The internet has been weaponized to the extent that on a platform without the "bad guys" people just turn on each other because they've been indoctrinated to think that you must be outraged at all times. Gonna go touch grass with the doggies ❤️✌️

Y'all, I've tried to start checking back in more but every time I do I've got so many spam followers that by the time I've blocked them all I'm kinda done @support

Why do I get "that certainly didn't work" 90% of the time I try to post pictures from my phone? @support
