Moore Art 'n Stuff

Hey personages. I like and/or tolerate Tumblr culture as much as the next person, but we’ve got to talk about the habit of putting comments in the tags. 

Everyone’s pointed out that reblogs are essential to artists and writers on tumblr because it’s the only way to get eyes on our work, but this goes beyond that.

I’ve been on this site for longer than I care to admit, but as an oldie and one who doesn’t like to have a lot of plugins running, I never had XKIT, so it is only now that I’ve had the ability to check tag updates on my posts.

And for years, I’ve felt like I was screaming into the void, my work apparently making very little impression, because people were posting all kinds of nice, encouraging comments… where I could not see them.

I had no idea people were saying things like this:

These kind, encouraging comments are all from the tags of one of my DynoGuard Art Roundup Posts. DynoGuard is a concept I’m trying to bring to series. 

If the artist isn’t able to easily find this kind of feedback, then what hope does an almost certainly less technically savvy producer have? “I would watch/buy/play this” is the kind of comment that can help move the needle on a creator getting opportunities. 

I’m not calling out people for doing tumblr the way tumblr is done. It’s just that the system isn’t working. As such, updates to that system are needed. 

The idea that you can claim life is sacred and still be ready to sacrifice the life of a woman, remains in the discourse today.

Every book is a children’s book if the kid can read.

I would like to have a product that was available for three easy payments and one fuckin’ complicated payment. We can’t tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a bitch! The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination! Good luck, fucker! That last payment must be made in wampum!

One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said “Here’s a picture of me when I was younger.” Every picture is of you when you were younger. “Here’s a picture of me when I’m older.” “You son-of-a-bitch! How’d you pull that off? Lemme see that camera… What’s it look like? ”

An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. You would never see an “Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order” sign, just “Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

I play golf. I’m not good at golf, I never got good. I never got a hole-in-one. But I did hit a guy. And that’s way more satisfying. You’re supposed to yell “Fore!” but I was too busying mumbling “There ain’t no way that’s gonna hit him.”
