Hi everybody! My schedule has been really unforgiving, so I may or may not end up writing something and making changes to the post later in the week.
Regardless, I hope you all have a good week!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
It’s kind of funny that there’s really only three ways to retire your account on Hexbear.
Touch grass (Ulysses Tuggy, Gayhobbes etc), lose your mind and go reactionary on a weird issue (Sevendeadlyfetishes and a whole bunch of others I’ve
’d from my memory) and trans your gender and make a new account (@EstraDoll@hexbear.net.)
As someone whose been here from the start, sure I’ve got a few prehistoric monotremes up my sleeves for alts, but 3 is probably on the cards in a month or two.
i have neither touched grass, lost my mind, or transed my gender (since the start of this site anyway). i just came up with a better username
I did not touch grass, but I left for like a year and then came back and made a new one
I’ve retired two accounts personally. One for internet deadname and another because it had was an OpSec nightmare >w>
The internet deadname account was here from the start. Don’t be afraid to just toss it just because your account is from the beginning. I’m not sure anyone really cares.
It’s the only true way to retire your HB account
honestly the biggest reason I even changed mine is that I couldn’t shake seeing “he/him” stapled next to Ho_Chi_Chungus even if I did change my pronouns so I just… went with a new account
That and I thought “Damn, EstraDoll goes hard for a username. Someone else should take it. Actually, you know what? Fuck it, I should take it. It’s a good username”
Fair enough. I already have my new account lined up (I made it ages ago) . The name is mild cringe as its from a Bo Burnham poem, but I read it during covid19 and it really made me go “huh” . It’s already my bsky profile.
