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.
