Ah, insomnia, how I have not missed you at all, you annoying bitch.
At one point I had an IFTTT chain to cross post here from Tumblr, but it doesn’t seem to be working anymore? And of course, the office is not set up in the new house, so my actual computer access is super-wonky, and it’s not the sort of thing I want to try and troubleshoot on my iPad. Thanks, Tumblr, you picked the best time to self-destruct.
To be honest, I always saw Tumblr as an ephemeral kind of website, like Twitter but with paragraphs. So while I would like to preserve some of my text posts, overall the things I felt were really important were copied over or screenshotted or something. I don’t feel a need, myself, to back the whole thing up anywhere because I knew it might all disappear someday (though I expected it to be due to bad code or infrastructure incompetence, rather than banning female-presenting nipples).
What I’m more concerned about is losing touch with the people I met on Tumblr, who are really pretty interesting and cool. I hope we all end up in one place where we can be nerds together. :)
Back in the day-like, holy fuckballs, 17/18 years ago?!-all of my close RL friends were on LJ. And then, mostly through
doggiesushi, I met a bunch of other people, and now most of them have moved on to Facebook and Instagram, and maybe Twitter. But it still seems weird in a way to merge these two groups here? I’m totally willing to do it, but there’s been a distinct border between the fandom/Tumblr bits of my life and the LJ/FB bits, so the idea of having it become more porous is ... odd.
Really, I need to sit down and figure out all my social media. I need Twitter groups and to really play with Pillowfort, and so on and so forth.
