I'm about to move out of California at long last, to restore an old house in a distant land, start the initial planning phases of growing my own food on a larger scale around it, and a while after that, experience fatherhood for the first time.
I won't be completely off the grid, but I really don't like using my phone for anything but phone calls, and posting here while I have so many other things that take priority would be a really annoying and counterproductive distraction that I might get pulled into anyway if I got carried away or got into lurking and then saw someone proverbially wrong on the internet. I know very well how that tends to go by now.
I may return someday, probably when I have time to complete my next novel. It is currently a work in progress, and I will almost certainly want to share it here when it is done.
Until then, may you never stop posting, comrades!
Even though Catradora Stalinism is banned from hexbear now, she told me in DMs to wish you luck <3
her full message was "tell him goodbye for me! well wishes on his new future, full of grass touching and apparently being a dad??? im sure he'll make the kid laugh a lot"
Damn, that sucks. She was the one who lead the push for us to defederate from sh.itsfulla.chuds. Sad to see her go.
Wait what happened to her?
She got really combative about veganism multiple times, got banned from c/vegan, got into an argument about veganism in another comm a few days later and so got banned from the site on her hexbear account, so she came into the thread on her lemmygrad account and that got banned too, she made a deal to not get into arguments about veganism anymore in return for having her account restored and then got into another argument about veganism less than a week later. As of now she's taking a hiatus from the site for a few weeks
She was consistently reactionary about veganism and got herself banned and unbanned like four times in the span of a couple weeks because of it.
