So, apparently, the “danaseilhan” username on Facebook has FINALLY been freed up after fucking years.

So, here I am for my new public page. The old one was getting zero engagement anyway. This one probably will too, but at least now it’s pretty straightforward. If you aren’t friended on my personal profile, the page is much less gatekept. Feel free to throw me a like. Or not.

I have also corrected the URL in my widgets. The link goes where it is supposed to go. The old one is deleted, so there’s nothing to find there; it’s not completely gone, but it will be shortly.

Also, I updated the social media page here. I like it a lot better now. Still salty, but gets to the point better.

I have this personality quirk where I feel the need to announce my boundaries publicly, loudly, often, and in great detail. It’s annoying and pointless because one, it makes me look too defensive and two, it gives abusive people a road map for getting under my skin. Over the years as I’ve either matured or gotten mentally rusty (still not sure which), I’ve damped down this tendency a lot but it still comes out to play sometimes.

So, look in the site menu. New page. Right now I link to it from my profile photo description and cover photo description on Facebook, but I anticipate gradually replacing my homepage link with it in all my social-media profiles. I’ve had a few weird confrontations on Facebook in the past couple months and I’m kind of tired of it. Like, most of my recent stuff is public. My comments elsewhere are definitely highly visible. You seriously are going to come into MY online space and be surprised that I’m no different with you? People have been doing that to me for literal decades. It got old halfway through the first one.

Not all of my social-media profiles are in the little social-icon cluster there in the sidebar (at the bottom of the site in other site sections), so at some point I may edit the “ground rules” down to something more readable and less ranty and then add a list of whatever’s not represented in the icons. May. As I do periodically, at this point I’m re-evaluating why the fuck I’m on social media in the first place. I ought to at least nope out of whatever I don’t regularly use, just because it’s a security risk.

But we’ll see. Me being the poster woman for ADHD and all.
