one thing i will absolutely say about tumblr is that i guess it was my first online journal. i mean blogspot, WHOA
but it was the first space where i felt i could share creatively and be heard (only/primarily) by complete strangers, which has a certain safety to it
my brother has mentioned to me over and over that i should get on tiktok
as a creative, and business owner, i'll do well there, he says
i don't doubt that what he says is true
i just don't fit into capitalism that way
it always feels icky to me - doing things for the express purpose of been seen so people will buy my stuff
but there's a reframing that's needed there - i'm working on it
i'll say this: tumblr was my safe space like twitter tried to be, except twitter had too many people on it that i knew
i like being a stranger until i want to come out and play
glad to be back - can you tell?
