HI HELLO EVERYONE. this is my first text post ever and basically the firsssst time I get to actually talk to people on here. SO…
A couple months or so passed since I joined Tumblr (tho I remember using it in 2014 to search for gifs of the series Skins… yikes), and I still don't really get how to use it properly and interact with this community.
The thing is, I've been using IG for years and years to share my illustrations and I've built a nice portfolio and a good network of colleagues and clients, but.. but. Lately (aside from recent developments with regards to Meta's shitty politics) that environment has become pretty damaging for my mental health: it's always a race to the top to achieve the most the fastest (don't get me wrong, I love seeing friends and colleagues doing cool stuff, I'm really proud of them!! but still), plus hate speech is popping up more and more and I find myself doom scrolling much more often because of it. And the algorithm is, weeeeeeell, a bit of a bitch. But the most mostly I CAN'T STAND THE NEW 4:5 GRID LAYOUT (IT'S NOT EVEN 4:5!!!) (WHO THE HELL IS THE UI/UX DIRECTOR AT META!!!!!!!)
Anyway, I've been looking for a better way to share my art (just for the joy of sharing it) and I hope I found it. It is so heartwarming to see you all interact with my posts and read all the kind words you go out of your way to write me. it's nice, really. 💕 I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART BUT IDK HOW SINCE I DON'T WANNA REPLY TO ALL INDIVIDUAL REBLOGS ASGDASDFSDHAJ I HOPE THIS MESSAGE REACHES U 💕
(if u have any advice on how to interact with others and how to properly use this site/tips on general tumblr etiquette I'd be glad to hear it) (also… didn't blogs use to have background music??? I'm not saying it's 99% of the reasons why I joined…… but it is, 99% of the reasons why I joined.)
ps. I'm pretty sure most of u are here for the TLT fanarts…. 👀 ok this is not a TLT themed blog BUT it's good to brainrot together thanks for passing by hehe (I have a lot more in store so stay tuned!!)
xx
