SocMed Follow Statement
Hello! You are probably here because you considered following me on one of my (too many) social media (aka “socmed”) platforms (links in footer, below). I have several because I not only have personal accounts but business accounts (such as a personal Facebook profile and a couple of Facebook “pages” for my businesses).
A few things you should know before you commit to following me, though:
- My pronouns are “she/her.” I am cis-gendered and I respect the pronouns and names which people assign to themselves. Anyone misgendering or deadnaming others will be immediately, summarily blocked.
- I mix business with pleasure! My socmed accounts are all a combination of business, personal commentary, fandom squee/meta, and politics. If you ONLY want to get, say, business updates, you are better off signing up for one of my newsletters or following a specific fb page.
- This is because socmed is more “social” than “media” for me. My accounts are my space to be myself, have fun, interact with friends, and generally try to have a good time during the dystopian hellscape that is late stage capitalism…which sadly means that I also have to spend time in between crying over c-dramas and yelling about politics actually promoting my own businesses, because Keely needs to be fed. 😕
- If you don’t want any posts/tweets/whatev promoting my businesses, then your best bet is probably tumblr, as I do the least amount of biz promotion there (although I do talk about and promote my original fiction there).
- I try to openly, sincerely interact with people who comment on my posts/tweets/etc. whether you follow me or not, but life is short and I am busy, so if I don’t get around to you specifically please don’t take it personally. If you really need to reach me, email me.
- I am a progressive queer socialist intersectional feminist Jew who is pro-union, pro-choice, pro-BLM, pro-antifa, and pro-ACAB. I loathe MAGAts and TERFs, and will block sealions on sight. I regularly share political posts reflecting my beliefs, including ones that name-and-shame Republicans and other Christofascists. If that bothers you, then you should not follow me on any platform.
- In that vein, my blocking/DNI policy is that I reserve the right to do so at any time, without warning. I curate my timelines for ME, not for THEE.
- I actively practice being anti-racist and anti-colonialist but, I’m also a white woman from the Southern USA, so I expect to get things wrong on the regular. Let me know if you see me make mistakes, but please do so with kindness.
I reserve the right to update this statement with whatever comes to mind as important to note.
