Zootopia's Secret

Kicking things off again with the zoot girls on the runway~

Okay, so I am trying to figure out how this Tumblr thing works. It is giving me major Blogger vibes from circa 2010. Back when I ran the blog for my folk-rock band, had optimism for the future, and also had more hair. Gods did I have hair then...

But these are different times now. I'm older, more skeptical, balder, and wondering if the meme-blog format that I was weaned on back on the old cracked.com translates over to the Gen Z crowd of today?Honestly, they're probably on some twelve-level deep meta shit about non fungible ape coins, or "queer fractals". Whatever that could be?

Woah... You know, what? That's actually pretty fucking sweet! I mean look at all of those colors and infinite depths! Maybe the kids ARE alright?

Anyway, someone told me Tumblr is a silly place, and that I should maybe lean into that? But I also have to be careful to make sure it stays relevant to Least Haunted. This is after all, meant to be our social media hub and possible Twitter Escape Survivability Life Alternative, or, TESLA. Is that trademarked? Maybe we should trademark that?

"I R Genius!"

So with that in mind We will use this Tumblr to post episode relevant images, FOR REAL this time! And news articles of anything that is paranormal/supernatural/plain ridiculous going forward. Ghost videos, bizarre reddit posts, and stuff like that freaky perv ghost that was reported last month...

Yeah, that really happened! Weird right?

I find it amusing and also extremely smart that Matt is offering to fast-track employment of Twitter teams to help improve Tumblr:

I believe there *were* some extremely talented people let go from Twitter, or who chose to NOT become part of "Twitter 2.0", so this is definitely a very savvy move to see who can be brought into Automattic to work on Tumblr. Well-played!

I think the question will be whether people want another centralized home for social interaction and communities, or if they want a more decentralized home such as Mastodon. I definitely think there is room for both, and it would in fact be extremely cool if Tumblr could talk ActivityPub so that it could join into the #Fediverse along with Mastodon. We shall see!

(Speaking of Mastodon, you can find me over there at:

Finally deleted my twitter. Originally I wasn't going to because I was worried about my username being up for grabs but with all the grok bs, and just it being a cesspool of scum and villainy I could not justify staying even as a dead account.

No site's perfect, but X has become so much worse.

I'm more or less going to be exclusively using bluesky (or other ATproto sites depending on how things go), and mastodon. I also have the Wafrn and Tumblr but I hardly use these except for following art tbh.

I'm also thinking of being on social media less overall, and trying to use this just for youtube updates, but we'll see how this goes.

The reason I want to limit my time on social media is… I just find the design of social media in general fundamentally bad for us, and after last year I CANNOT stay on here for long lengths of time. Like one's that don't have a company ran algorithm are better, but the endless scroll I find to be psychological trap.

5:18 am When I climb up into the crow’s nest and look out at the horizon, one of the “lands of opportunity” I continually see is the world of “decentralized social media”, and in particular Mastodon and the other services that use the ActivityPub protocol and are broadly referred to as the “Fediverse”. Subscribe For context, I first joined Mastodon back in 2016 when Twitter was going through…
