What do you love about Tumblr? Anything you hate/don't like? Are you deliberate about how/why you blog or do you just post whatever you feel like?
I really like the sense of community tbat you can find here if you choose to actively look, and that (IMHO) there seem to be some ppl here who just use it as a place to be themselves online in a less view/follow/like-motivated way than, say Instagram or Twitter or FB.
For me personally, I use Tumblr as my one place online where I can be myself uncensored if and when I choose without as much backlash that may affect my career or my personal life, family etc.
Very few of my followers here are even Trini or West Indian based. Lots don’t have a clue of my relevance in the West Indian diaspora etc.
Also i’ve made some powerful connections on here and discovered ppl that I genuinely appreciate, so that’s a positive too.
I’m still deliberate about what I post because i’m a private person by nature and I do know that ppl who are interested in my musician/work/“celeb” side may stumble upon this Tumblr space, so that def factors in…
But at the same time I tend to just be like fuck it and post whatever I feel in the moment here.
I think of Tumblr as the digital space where, if I passed away tomorrow, a true sense of me as a person and a personality is encapsulated.
Like if you go on my Twitter, FB, IG it’s mostly “Ok he’s that musician guy… And this content is based on his music career and things thereof, he’s promoting songs etc”.
Whereas you could go through my archive here and actually walk away with a decent sense of who I am as a person. What I like and don’t like. Some of my political/ social views. Stuff that I exclude from my other social media cause I don’t want to take attention away from my work and the legacy i’m trying to build.
Hopefully this answers your questions?
Thanks so much for the questions @therealwolfqueen! 😘
