Soooo the Twitter thing (Patreon)

I'm posting this here because I feel like if I owe anyone an explanation it's you guys, so with regard to the Twitter thing - needless to say there is a lot of projection and assumption of why I did decide to delete it, but at the end of the day I took this whole debacle as a sign that I really need to rethink my "career," such as it were, because clearly this is not working.

Twitter and social media in general have become such an incredible source of toxicity, for culture in general and for me in particular. It was making me so unhappy, which is part of why I had been getting increasingly snippy and defensive in ways that were unnecessary and unprofessional. The people who are saying that this is the result of carelessness are right--I was careless. 

As for the question of "why now", it wasn't that this controversy was the worst ever, it honestly was just the last straw, and not just for Twitter. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, how I should engage with content or if I should continue making it at all. So I'm taking some time away from Internet, try to detox from it, and then we'll see what the state of things will be going forward.

As for an actual statement, I'm not making one now. I'm going to take some time to consider how to respond, because I think it will take some time to figure out what I want to say and how to say it.

For the people who've sent messages of support I appreciate it, and I do apologize for any hurt or stress this may have caused. I don't feel awesome about it.
