#returning user

I decided to redo my about me.

A lot has changed this past year.

And I've decided it's finally time to start using Tumblr more.

(I'm still incapable of staying consistent)

🌊 Writer, Artist, Gamer, enjoyer of grass touching. I love character design.

🦊 I like a variety of things. Too many shows, games and books to list here. The hyperfixations are ever changing.

🌊 I love dark fantasy, I'm currently working on my own dark fantasy/sci fi project.

I hope you enjoy your stay in this chaotic mess of a blog :)

I first joined Tumblr in 2007 — April 23rd, to be specific — back when it was only a couple of months old. Twitter was still pretty new then too.

I mostly cross-posted tweets and blog posts as far as I can remember, maybe some Flickr images (remember Flickr?).

The internet was different back then.

Twitter was very different back then. For starters, it was mostly tech nerds; fail whales hadn’t fully taken hold, it was the early days. It was nice.

Now an egomaniacal anthropomorphic manifestation of the fail whale is running the joint as his own personal shitposting machine. Not so slowly ruining everything that was still good about it. He’s a sad, pathetic man who should be institutionalised, not running a massively critical global communications platform.

This brings me, quite literally, back to Tumblr. I’m a long-time WordPress user, and a general fan of all that @photomatt and the @automattic crew do, and glad that they’re steering this ship.

I’ve got my new user name @dean locked in, I haven’t totally worked out what content will look like (so follow me and we can find out together).

Might be stories, might be memes. Might be design, might be themes…

There's a lot to process in the world right now, and I've been sharing some of my thoughts on FB. That feels important to me, bc even though I don't like the platform, I'm surrounded by people I actually know- not just people who are ideologically aligned with me on the Internet- and I want them to hear what I have to share on issues of social justice.

(Mainly sharing/amplifying the voices of people who are working for change & sharing insights to help understand our world as it is and as it could be)

But it occurred to me, after a pal mentioned still being on tumblr recently, that there may be more people out there who would want to hear what I have to say. And who might want to engage in the conversation!

So rather than archiving my old art here, as I once thought I might, I think I'll start collecting these thoughts here too. Maybe I'll share art as well.

New truma

Maybe art

No direction in life
