Shared this on tumbl but figure I should share it here too:

I actually hate what April Fool's has become

I don't actively hate many things, but this is one of them

so if you need someone to check any emails you get from companies you normally trust to tell you 'yes this is a gag' tomorrow, I can do that

I was actually super-appreciative of the one I got from Quirk Books earlier saying 'yeah no, we've done these in the past but not this year when there's too much misinformation being spread about too many things, here's a couple articles on how to spot fake news instead'

I'm honestly debating coming online at all tomorrow, I had something really bad happen to me years ago on the day, so I've been way AF since. I'm glad to know there's a safe place here though.

Seriously tho, most folks around here are cool about it (at least the ones I keep around)

the closest we got was one year two of them swapped display names/icon and iirc acted exactly the same otherwise

giving this a bump now that the day is here
