I've had tumblr off and on for 10 years now, I think. I would use it for a few years, then stop, then start, then stop. I'm back again after realizing just how bad other social media is for my mental health. I'm a bit of a social media hermit but I don't want to give it up entirely, you know? There's so much about the world I haven't seen or learned and I appreciate being able to just follow random people with similar interests and curate a (chronological!!!!!!!) feed that I like.

After seeing yet another post going "this is the reblog website!!1!1!" I thought fair enough, let me go through all of my liked posts and set them free by reblogging. The tag I'm using is "freeing my liked posts from captivity" and I'm just queuing things up in no particular order.

Lots of feelings are coming up - seeing usernames of people I loved who no longer post, unliking posts no longer relevant to me (either due to interests or just because [thankfully] I am at a different point in my life), sadness, joy, all of it.

This will probably be the only queue I ever set up since I tend to reblog at random otherwise. But I like the idea of setting something free into the ether and I like having the chance to reconnect with this younger online version of myself.

When you're a kid you just take trees for granted. Then when you get to be an adult you realize that a fully mature tree cannot be created in an amount of time that fits in a convenient landscaping timeframe for love nor money nor all the powers of science. Then you realize that people are very very very cavalier about chopping them down

i love absorbing iwtv content exclusively from the dash because you could tell me literally ANYTHING was going on in that show and i'd be like that tracks with what i've seen. they're all actors in a play together. they had a lesbian daughter but there were custody issues and i think she died in a plane crash or something it's really tragic. one of them isn't even real he's just a long-term hallucination the other one has been having. they opened up their marriage to include a third guy who's hot and even more evil. the two guys and their third are all sleeping with a journalist who used to be young and is now old. after they got divorced one of them decided to reinvent himself as iggy pop and i think that's a perfectly fine way to cope.

wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.
