rogueslayer452++ Pit Babe season 2 trailer has emerged. I have no idea what's going on or what's going to happen get that man pregnant by the end I swear, but I'm excited nonetheless. Race Car Omegaverse 2: Electric Boogaloo, here we go!
++ Automattic, the company that owns Wordpress and Tumblr, laid off 16% of its employees recently. It explains the lack of any April Fool's shenanigans that often appears. Considering that it was already stated that Tumblr itself was run on a skeleton crew for some time, this has led to many people wondering and fretting (for the umpteenth time) about the fate of the site itself. Although I do think some of the worry is mere fearmongering it's definitely something to be prepared for, considering the state of most online spaces and how corrupt companies can ruin something good. We've seen this happen before, so the concern is very real. At the moment there are posts going around about how to back up accounts and to tell others where they may be migrating to as a precaution, which is a good idea anyway regardless of what happens.
I've been tempted on telling people to just come to DreamWidth, although I don't think anyone aside from Fandom Olds will have an interest in a journaling site, and unfortunately I don't think there is an equivalent to Tumblr anywhere. While the sentiment is "never say never", I am just not interested at all in joining Bluesky or Discord or any kind of social media platform like those.
