i finished the sad task of going back and curating my cohost blog a bit before everything goes into read-only mode and the archiving begins. there were some vent posts from the rougher bits of the past year that i kind of... it wasn't that i was ashamed of them or anything, i just don't want to go back to look at the archive someday and remember how shitty i felt in that level of detail. it's a thing i go back and clean up occasionally, since my brain is bad and sometimes i post a little too much of my sadness on the internet. i didn't delete much, but i trimmed the hedges.
it's been nice to reminisce, but it's just so fuckin tragic. the whole thing sucks. i am "draw dramatic and highly context-dependent art about it" sad. (that's a cohost exclusive until the site goes read-only.)
i started posting there in october of 2022, on the 30th. so when cohost goes read-only, i'll have been there just about two years. it feels like so much longer. it kind of already felt like home when i arrived.
i have some hope, because people on cohost really cared. there are other people out there that wanted this to exist. it existed, for a while, because we wanted it. i'm not getting my hopes up for some miraculous revival a la SheezyArt's repeated emergences from the grave or whatever, but i don't think this is over. i don't think we all just go back to our lives and quietly accept that social media has to be garbage.
the highlight of my day was definitely watching Porco Rosso with my friend crepe this evening. dunno how i managed to not see that one until now. Castle In the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service are my two favorite Ghibli movies and this had some of the spirit of both, so it's easily elbowed its way into my top favs. don't overlook the funny pig Ghibli movie, it's a hell of a romp. i love Fio and she deserves the world.
