Yes, it’s really me, I’m going to try to blow away my old/main account, which has way too many random followers due to early lists I was put on, + old posts I don’t want online anymore. Follow me back here to stay in touch, likely less focused on medical advocacy, trying to find my way back/forward.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I really wish my blog was still up. I wish I could write there, and transfer some of my more important Twitter threads to it. Why is there no hosted Drupal service?? I don’t want a bloody newsletter. Just a plain blog. Should I set up a Wordpress or something?

It’s funny I thought I had anything else to talk about here. I cling to the things I care about that still make me feel human. Meanwhile I’m slowly crossing the line of no return, while my doctors continue to mock me and block every attempt to get care. I’m so scared and so unwell and so tired.

My old account got like two random follows a month when I wasn’t actively using it. I’m fielding like 20 a day here. Is it just cause it’s a new account? This is ridiculous. I’m tempted to just delete Bsky, but there are some people I would genuinely like to stay in touch with that are only here.

24 hours with this new account and I already wish Bluesky allowed private accounts. I just want this little space to stay in touch with actual friends, and follow some local politics and stuff. I don’t want to be re-posted. I don’t want to be followed by strangers. Sigh.

I’m getting so many weird follows. Who needs to follow 240k people?! Are these even real people or just bots? Do they just auto follow every new account? It’s (still) really weird on here. 🙃

Lol, I’m already getting inundated with automated follows and weirdos. 🙃 Ugh. I wish they had private accounts on here.
I wonder if I should fully delete my other account or save it “just in case” one day I want to do more advocacy again.
