Some thoughts what I have thought
I've finally put my finger on what sort of an activity tumblr most encourages, and it is a commonplace book.
One doesn't have to use it as a commonplace book. Something like Fuck Yeah Fanfic Flamingo, which is producing content original to it, is not a commonplace book. But a lot of porn tumblrs, or FuckYeah(pictures of this thing I love which I collect from many other sources) or just people's reblogs of things they thought were cool today: commonplace book.
Previous thought brought to you because I was trying to understand happie.st, for which I got a beta invite today. It, too, appears to be a commonplace book, but focused on the seven areas which they believe you bring happiness: exercise, gratitude, meditation, and four others which I can't look up because I broke my happie.st account already.
So, someone namesquatted
uu two years ago and then never got started using it. :( I would like a UU comm on Dreamwidth, if other UUs would post to it (or even just re-direct us to the posts on their own journal.) Can I get anybody interested in posting to
uu, or should I start another comm?
spiritoflife and
onefaith are both available. (As is uudw, which might not be inappropriate, given the denominational fondness for acronyms.)
Why White Men Should Refuse to Be on Panels of All White Men This strikes me as potentially applicable in other kyriarchical directions, but, yeah, it's a start. Even if the organizer decides to go off and just ask some other white dude to replace a refusing white man, they'll have had to consider the question.
