it is 10 am and I have not been on Tumblr even once

[girlbookwrm]

Things that I do when not infiniscrolling through the hellsite:

• Work on my mom's Christmas present (I'm defacing a copy of the Silmarillion for her amusement)
• hang out on Dreamwidth like a lot
• noodle at the Steve VS the Guggenheim idea (boogiewoogiebuglegal  yoU AND ICEWHISPER ARE REAL BASTARDS YOU KNOW THAT??)

so I think I maybe actually like being free of the blue purgatory? I want to try and spend less time on Tumblr, going forward. I don't think there's any website that quite matches it for social media experience -- it suited me really well, I adapted to it very quickly and I've gotten endless hours of amusement from it, BUT.

it was the vibrancy of the community I found there that worked for me. That community can be built -- or rebuilt -- anywhere.

Honestly this is *exactly* how I feel today and about tumblr in general. I've not logged on today and it feels kinda nice?? But at the same time, there really is nothing that compares to tumblr and I *like* the overall experience it offers. Shame really.

It is a shame but it's also a "we can rebuild it. we have the technology... better. faster. less opposed to female-presenting-nipples. the six million dollar website"

actually I think someone did cost estimates that it would cost like 5 million dollars so i'm not so far off there.
