I’m Serene. I’m severely mentally ill with multiple diagnoses, the most prevalent being my treatment-resistant depression. I lost my job two years ago due to the severity of my mental illnesses and am also not eligible to receive disability cheques.
Basically, I’m eating up my savings to take care of myself and my cat. It would mean the world to me if someone would commission me to write them a story. I write both fan fiction and original work, including oc x canon.
i haven’t heard the word “cyberstalking” in a long time but it used to be a recognizably bad thing to stalk someone online, to try to dig up everything you can on them, follow their every move online, obsessively post about them, barrage them with messages, block evade, etc - but now it’s just normalized and seen as something totally “ok” to do if the person in question is “problematic” in some way - like the same people who say “if your partner does this run” will turn around and do the same thing to a stranger online they dont even know and they don’t even think twice - it’s abuse, it’s harassment… just stop it
It’s also now expected and encouraged for all disagreement and criticism to be public, but that’s literally the scary hostile choice. That’s what can escalate into a shit storm out of both people’s control. I get called a creep now for sending disagreements to private message when that is literally the safer more respectful option and what you were always supposed to do. You save the callouts for the last resort when someone rejects any friendly resolution and is actually causing a problem.
literally the book im reading about the history of the internet says ‘(now referred to as “doxing”)’
but this is actually about callout posts but anyway
