As a newer tumblr user coming over from Reddit and other social media i’ve been having trouble getting into a rhythm of regular posting here. Well I’ve just had an epiphany and realized why: I’ve been using this site all wrong.
I’ve been treating my blogs and reblogs like social media posts i need to curate. Only repost the most useful or interesting things, only post when you have something clever or pithy or funny to say, etc. Make your blog cool and funny, and likeable
But the people on here i like most treat their blogs like the online equivalent of the laundry chair, or the sauce packet drawer, or an overflowing trashbin
So fuck it, i’m just using my blog for stuff i want now. If anyone likes it that’s cool, but if not fine, more trash for me
