Closure

askpiratedash:

I know this is an OOC post, but this is important enough to make here.  And no, the blog is not ending.

Over two years ago, May 2nd, 2012, was one of the worst days of my life.  I was fired from my radio news reporter job.  I made an OOC post about it, and it exploded across the community.  That post is why I’m making this here, instead of the mod blog.  It became (and still is to this day) my highest noted post ever on Ask Pirate Dash.  It’s bittersweet in a sense, because the support and love I will always be grateful for, but having your most popular post ever be about your lowest moment was always weird.

But as of today, that is over.  I am ready to move on.  I have accepted a position at a local NPR affiliate, and the one that I am the most familiar with in my time in college.  I start next month.

Over two years of persistence and hope that I could finally get back in has paid off.  And I could not have done it without the support of everyone in the Tumblrpon community.  Whether the support came from monetary methods, or encouragement, or any of other method, I am very grateful and thankful for it.

What this means is that I can finally get my life back on track.  For the blog, a couple arcs have been planned, but they’ll have to be put on hold until I get settled in next month.  And they’re intense arcs.  

But bottom line, thank you again to everyone here who’s had my back.  You’re a family to me, and I love you all.

Many congratulations, TJ!

Wish you the best of luck!
