In a cosmic sort of way, yes.

Big thanks to @teashopcrafts for these lovely knitted plushies! I saw a video of her balloon dog on my dash and I just had to have one. The piñata was an impulse purchase after a short time browsing the shop. They're very well made, and they spark joy whenever I look at them!
I'll definitely be back for more when Christmas comes
That doesn't seem right, but I don't know enough about Stuart Little 2 to dispute it.
That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.
Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of spambots recently? For the last couple weeks, I've had about ten random posts I made in 2020 get infested by spambots, dozens of them, hundreds of them, liking the posts but otherwise not interacting. Whenever I go through my notes, it's the same ten posts, never anything recent, all from the same kind of spam blogs, "untitled" with either a default icon or a heavilly photoshopped picture of a tan white girl with duck lips (never the same girl twice; I guess it's their way to try and hide the fact that they're bots?)
Two to four random words, sometimes followed by a 2 digit number. It's outrageous how many I've had to report and block this week alone.
I had to delete a few of the infected posts because they just wouldn't stop. I screenshotted them so I could reupload them later, but it bothers me how calculated this all feels; it's not random, they're congregating on the same ten posts, so somebody somewhere chose them specifically, or else they were picked by an algorithm for who knows what reason (they weren't even any of my popular posts, they all had single or double digit notes).
Is anyone else having this problem? It didn't used to be this egregious, usually one or two spambots a month, not a dozen a day.
@staff get on this. What are we not paying you for?
In the 20 minutes since I posted this, I've had 5 more show up in my notes. Today has seen a big spike.
9 days later and, and an additional 66 spam bots.
I'm averaging 7⅓ per day. Anyone else have this problem? Please let me know.
You may have noticed some word repetition; wasteland, candy, student. I guess whoever programmed these bots used a very short list of words to pick from. What's the goal here? They're not sending me links, they're not advertising anything, they're not saying a single word to me, they're just leaving random likes on the same 15 or 20 posts. Most of them were from 2020, but now I'm getting spam on some recent posts from earlier this year. What do they get out of this? What's the benefit? Who wins?
I have a zero tolerance policy for this bullshit. I go through every single one of my notes to weed out the spambots, hundreds per day, and they don't stop coming. Tell me I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm not a big blog, I don't have a huge following, I'm not a famous name here, so I don't understand why I'm attracting so much shit.
I need to take a break from politics for a while. The neverending onslaught of bad news is not good for my mental health. I feel like that clickhole article, "selfish man finds time to build birdhouse while Jonbenet Ramsey case remains unsolved." Like, what the hell am I personally supposed to do about *gestures at everything*
I can't keep focusing on that which I have no power to change. I feel emotionally drained at all times, so I need to eliminate the negative influences from my life. I can't just bury my head in the sand and pretend things will magically get better if I ignore them, but I have already done everything I am capable of doing at this juncture in my life; someday I will be able to do more, but right now I can't. I am literally incapable of doing more from where I'm at emotionally, financially, and geographically. I'm at my limit. I can't keep stressing myself out when I know the outcome will be the same no matter how I react.
I am powerless.
I have no agency.
The bad things will happen whether I worry about them or not.
I need to focus my time and energy on things I can control right now. There's no sense wallowing in misery, hitting myself over the head every single day with all the horrible things plaguing my country and the world. When I'm in a better place, then and only then will I have the luxury of caring again. That's not to say that I don't care now, because I do, I do care a lot, I'm just drained.
I'm gonna be muting specific content for a while. A bunch of my mutuals run political blogs, so if you're reading this and you want me specifically to see one of your posts, you'll have to DM me about it, otherwise it'll fly under my radar. I'll read whatever you show me, I'm still engaged, I'm just passive rather than active right now.
Things are bad and are likely to get worse before they get better, and I can't focus on it anymore.
