i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

I'm not kidding when I say that cancelling my Spotify subscription has not affected my life in any way, other than that I spend the money on Bandcamp instead and the artists get paid infinitely more.

Easiest subscription I've ever dropped. You really don't need it like you perhaps think you do

for fucks sake

cancel your spotify subscription

it does! and obv at a certain point having too big of a "fanbase" may make it impossible to truly maintain full boundaries but the likelihood of reaching that point where you have to lock up is less likely when you've established your boundaries and approach from moment 1

CHI XU @meltingcomet.com · 5h

yup yup! hence the boundaries. if you set very clear boundaries people will respect it, so as long as they actually know what it is

not that this is how everyone should do things - if you're not comfortable with regularly being surrounded by others about your work it is totally valid to keep to yourself, but i've seen just how empowering it is to not fear your audience and objectify them in the same way they'd objectify you

when you actually talk w/ those people at a very grounded level and don't make yourself a sneaky, hard to catch figure, people treat you less like a "god" lol. obviously it's not gonna stop people from being creeps but it really sets a vibe that chills everyone out and sets real boundaries

been thinking about this a lot but I genuinely think one of the best ways to combat parasocial behavior from fans of you / your work is to ultimately break down those walls and avoid mystifying yourself. the more you just come off as some random person with your own life / boundaries the better

I will be a Dissidia NT defender till the day I die. Love the PSP games but it is by far the best game in that series imo, even if it’s a more conventional arena team fighter

CHI XU @meltingcomet.com · 12h

I would fuck with this a lot more if it was not a mobile game sigh. Dissidia NT deserved better and people really were too harsh on that one
