PROPHETESQUE

hey everynyan, it's me, silas! posting on dreamwidth now, wao! since cohost is going kaput at the end of the month, i figured that i'd supplement my online time with this (though honestly what i Should be doing is spending Less Time Online, but...). you probably don't know me as i'm not a prolific creator in any sense of the term, but every once in a while i rip out a banger or two. but i digress lol.

anyway, i use he/it pronouns, am 30 years old (31 in november!), and am a queer nonbinary polyam trans man. the creature above is my furbsona (not a typo), prophet! dubbed "kinda alright" by wayneradiotv, circa 2020. you can learn more about them here! in meatspace, i'm a retail pharmacy technician and have been for about 7 years now. i have three partners: lazer, niko, and lucy! and i love them all so much and so many.

some of my interests are listed on my interests tags things but some things i like are: furbys, pro wrestling, horror genre, midwest/southern gothic, ttrpgs, tarot, possums, arknights, video games, music, nbc hannibal, and Of Course, Yeti: A Love Story. links to find more of a silas are listed on my profile, or they will be shortly.

i've been on the internet for like 20 years and i've never touched a site like lj/dw before somehow, so i have a lot to get used to haha. posting here feels like a Lot of pressure but i'm going to try and just treat it like A Blog, one that i can post what i want and updates on my life and cool links and shit. i'm also probably going to try to crosspost to my website via an rss feed via this method to replace my current blogging method, which is, every once in a blue moon loading up my blog page and typing on it, which isn't really conductive to Posting a lot.

since i've already tagged this with 'cohost', i guess i should talk about cohost, huh? i'm not gonna lie, i know it had a Plethora of issues, but man i'm gonna miss that little website. i met a ton of cool people there and it was a no pressure place (at least for me), of Posting, which i enjoyed. i liveblogged my colonoscopy prep on there LOL. between the announcement of cohost going under and losing a patient at work recently, i've been in a bit of a funk, i'm not gonna lie. depression, normally kept pretty well in check, rearing its ugly head. i'm just... Sad. it's been a part of my life for two years and by the end of the year it'll just be... gone. and i know there's backups and the highway and webrings in process and such and it will be good to keep up with said cool people i've met on cohost, but it's not the same as Just Being On Cohost, y'know?

i guess that's all for now. i'm gonna go get some water and chill. thanks for having me, cohost. it's been a pleasure.
