Thought I'd share a friend shaped strawberry bunny I got recently. It's from a plushmaker called Momofukudou and they have a shop on a site called Minne, tho I don't think they ship internationally. They have a bunch of food themed bunnies and sometimes cats!
Minne is a biggest website for buying/selling handmade or small artist plush in Japan. But you can use proxy service (such as Buyee or Zenmarket) to buy them
It takes work to curate your online spaces, but if you don't do it, corporations will do it for you using a couple harmful key principles. 1) Negative emotions hold your attention better than positive emotions. 2) Calm/contented people are less likely to spend money.
Blacklist, block and mute at will. You don’t owe anybody anything.
Turn off those notifications.
Decide when you log on. Don’t use social media at breakfast if it will stress you out all day. Don’t use it before you go to bed if it will keep you up. Find a fun ritual to replace it, like a video game or craft thing.
Consider which platform allows you to avoid topics that upset you. For example: tumblr is kinda shit for fan fiction because everything ends up in the same tag. The older forum-style platforms are much better for finding content you enjoy and avoiding content you don’t.
Leave online communities that don’t spark joy. You don’t need to stay in a place where everyone is always fighting. You don’t need to stay in communities where you are afraid to speak your mind or to make mistakes.
Ask yourself: could this ‘debate’ also be a conversation instead? Don’t debate people who seek debate to upset you. Don’t debate people who seek debate to get an audience for bigotry. Don’t debate people who seek debate to win instead of to learn. Don’t debate people who do not acknowledge your humanity.
Repeat to yourself: doomscrolling is not activism. Nothing in the world gets better just because you read, liked and reblogged posts about how terrible things are.
[Tweet by Kingfisher & Wombat @UrsulaV: “O best beloved, if you are doomscrolling Twitter today, ask yourself if there is anything you can personally do. If there is, do it. If there isn’t, remember that anxiety is not activism. Your misery does not improve the world a single iota.”]
a confession: you know those posts like "your boyfriend is too small he fell into the bong and died. we smoked him. sorry"? every time i read one of those i picture jedediah from night at the museum. yeah i put your boyfriend in an hourglass and he's going to suffocate once a specific amount of time has elapsed. sorry
