my goodbye post:
          
          i've been slowly pulling away from this app for an extended period now but i think i've finally come to the realization that i don't really want to continue writing here. i really want to finish decode but doing anything related to wattpad feels like a chore so while it will stay up on my profile, i don't know if/when it will see updates.
          
          personal changes in my life have really caused me to reflect on everything. my mental health has been abysmal for months and this last month has really been the worst. i think it's time to start leaving some things behind to grow. this includes wattpad and a lot of my online presence. so, as i turn twenty-five tomorrow, i'm delicately ending this eleven-year-long chapter of my life.
          
          thank you to those that have stuck by me all this time. i love you and you know where to find me. thank you to all of my readers and for all of your support on various projects through the years. 
          
          i'm really sad to be making this announcement but also very relieved. maybe i'll come back some day, but for now, this feels right. thank you for everything.

thank you for 7k on decode :)

low rising and saviour complex will be coming down tomorrow most likely. i'm really struggling mentally recently and getting harassed with "update" comments with no other interactions isn't helping. i might bring them back eventually but i am at the point where i may just finish decode (which just got plagiarized as well?? and is kinda the reason i've finally made this decision), maybe post my other short 'the pitt' fic if i ever prewrite it, and then leave wattpad entirely. this site makes me miserable and while i'm grateful for the friends i've made, the community has become so toxic and uncreative. maybe i'll change my mind but for now, decode will hopefully see more focused updates soon.

hello friends, i want to take some time to share and spread some information on palestine, just as everyone on here should be doing right now as we are very privileged to be able to do so.
          
          for my fellow canadians, here is a link to a house of commons petition for ceasefire: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4649
          and here's one with american and international calls to action: https://ceasefiretoday.com/
          
          as many of us write fanfiction / use faceclaims to tell stories on this app, please be mindful of what and who you support. this tiktok is helpful in highlighting just some of the zionists / zionism in hollywood: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjoaVJMX/
          
          i have also found some tedtalks that are somewhat dated but very relevant to the current political climate. the first is a talk on 'humanizing palestine' from a palestinian-american teen. the second is on the danger of neutrality.

          and some users to follow / keep updated with:
          @/praxisredacted on tiktok posts many updates of what is happening across the gaza strip, an easy way to stay informed as you’re scrolling aimlessly through your fyp. take a moment.
          
          @/crierayla on here has many very informative and up-to-date posts on their message board.
          
          @/so.informed on instagram is an easily accessible account to keep up to date not only about the genocide but about political / social issues around the world.
          
          the genocide that is currently happening in palestine is abhorrent. and the recent news about a 4-day pause is only just that. a pause before the violence against innocent palestinian men, women, and children continue. DEMAND A CEASEFIRE. DO NOT STOP TALKING AND SHARING. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.
