i dislike using tumblr because this place is like a mental trap. i refresh my dash endlessly and constantly want to see notes/interactions/whatever. monke brain is well and truly hooked up with the electrodes. i dislike using tumblr because (like most parts of the internet) it is in active decay, growing worse and worse and worse and worse through bad management, filled with bots, idiots, and other things that are generally unappealing.

i keepusing tumblr because that while i use it, there is always the possibility that the next refresh of the dash will bring me a new point of view, a new favourite piece of art, or most tantalisingly, a new friendship. the potential for these alone is enough for the dopamine hooks to be in place, and i sit, not unlike the vegas slot machine drone, pulling the lever until i get that bar bar bar.
