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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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. 😕
4. 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).
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
