this is post number 552357243 about how guilty i feel for abandoning lj.
but people are gone and empty lj makes me miss what once have been. but. i really need to try and make post a day starting tomorrow/monday. there are some oldschool people on tumblr who share my sentiment about lj, sigh. we're old.
though i do feel good making gender/queer/fandom/social justice posts on tumblr. i have audience (more than 800 people and i still don't know how.
you'd be surprised how my views, priorities and ideologies have changed since the last time i was more active here. during the time when i got into glee and, following that, tumblr, i've learned so much. tumblr taught me so much and it's a scary thought to have - that without it i'd be as ignorant as i was. but on tumblr? you follow people and their posts and they reblog things and you see them. you get engaged.
social justice, gender as spectrum, sexuality as spectrum, feminism, rape culture, culture appropriation, racism, bdsm & D/s, lgbtq* & queer culture. you don't really see this stuff around unless you look for it. and how can you know what to look for if you aren't aware of its existence? on tumblr, you have a chance to see whether you want or not and that's awesome.
it's no joke when i say that nothing educated me on important values as much as tumblr did (and, if i may say, i have an awesome taste when picking people to follow).
but still, i miss old times a whole lot. one day, i'll start to look ahead of me, instead of staring at what's behind.
but this kurt-centric fanfic where he had DID and was just gone. the feel of passing time - never being able to deal with it.
important things,
tumblr
