thorkily:

if you are a thorki fandom content creator and are comfortable filling out an spreadsheet’s worth of (entirely optional) info, click here.

why the spreadsheet? well, I saw a mutual complain about losing their fanbase, and tbh I have similar worries – it took me a while to get to the number of followers I have! and I don’t want to lose that!

so if you create content for the thorki fandom*, then you’re welcome to fill this form with as many details as you’re comfortable sharing. remember, only share stuff you’re comfortable having known to people. if you want to specify that something is available upon request, put AOR in that field

the form has space for every social media that I could think of (+ a field for any I might have missed) and it basically exists so the fandom doesn’t lose track of content creators, and so that content creators get a head start on new platforms without having to rebuild their fanbase from mutuals and scratch.

entirely optional, but public access, so please be careful!

note: you can add your friends/mutuals if they’re okay with it. please make sure that they are. 

*what counts as content? original posts. headcanons, meta, round robins, fics, art, rec lists, edits, playlists. if you’re a moderator (or have ever been a moderator) please add that too—moderating is valuable!

lastly, please consider reblogging this post for maximum visibility: the link means it’s not going to show up in search results

“Matter and light”–a poem by me.

So, I’ve been seeing stories in the news about how rates of anxiety among young people have skyrocketed in recent years. And I’ve also been thinking about how many of my own friends are suffering from anxiety. And so, I was thinking about why this might be the case—why are we all so anxious when we live in a country and a time when our physical needs (ala Maslow’s hierarchy) are much more likely to be met than nearly any time in history?

There are a lot of answers to that question, but one that strikes me particularly is the fact that so much of our lives is on-line—and I don’t just mean “on-line” in terms of how much time we spend on social media. I mean everything seems to be on-line: shopping, banking, working, health care, friendships, education. if we aren’t doing it on line, then the records related to it are on line. And things on-line always seema little bit less real. You can’t touch them, or hold them. When you turn off your device they disappear.

So, my theory is that, because so much of our lives is on-line, much of how we define ourselves is also tied up on-line in a way that is intangible, or untouchable, and that contributes to our need to be seen, because as long as others see us, notice us, pay attention to us, that makes us feel more real.

Anyway, that’s where this poem came from. What do you think?
