…hanging around Tumblr, hoping for any of its old spirit to persevere. It’s so disheartening to find that blogs I’ve been following for years have altogether disappeared or gone inactive.
Tumblr had such a vibrant, unique community; then their corporate interests decided to swing a wrecking ball through it. Ostensibly they wanted to demolish a structure that had grown unsightly in order to build something more presentable; but in reality they tore down something beautiful, and I’m expecting they’ll just leave it a vacant lot.
Meanwhile I’m continuing to get new followers! Of course they’re porn bots - now with significantly less porn! - so it’s not as though the corporate interests have made any substantive changes to the real problems in their system.
I’m not closing my account, but I think I’m going to take a break. See you on FetLife, maybe…
