The Grumpy Podfic Post I made last month broke my already-falling-apart older phone XD T_T

Tumblr being down right on the heels of staff celebrating World Sleep Day seems a wee bit on-the-nose, don't you think?

Tumblr hangover: when I keep refreshing my dreamwidth reading page because I keep waiting for new xkit to load. Sheesh.

I'm impatiently sitting here, waiting for the python (coding, not animal) tumblr backup to run. It's really an odd feeling, watching the post collection pile up; I keep thinking about how... permanent... we all thought tumblr would be. A funny sentiment, considering that the appeal of it all was how impermanent everything was. Though how much of that was due to cowboy coding of the site is anyone's guess. I suppose the permanence impression stems from how detached tumblr staff seemed/seems? Which makes sense, as tumblr always felt like someone's too-ambitious senior project for a computer programming class that they just decided to leave up and leave alone. So, what happens when there's essentially Internet free real estate? It becomes a repository of niche (note the 'h', here, please) adult content, of course! /sarcasm

I'm also wondering what's going to happen in the day-to-day of fandom stuff. Used to be, on tumblr, you'd eventually find out some kind of news that was going on in the fandom world. I mean, what would I do without hearing what kind of trope is new in my chosen fandom? (body horror warning: (anybody remember the hot second in 2014 or 2015 that 'stomach mouth Batter' was popular in the OFF fandom? Anybody?) (/body horror warning)

Part of me is also glad to get a push to participate in dreamwidth and other websites; tumblr felt a lot like I had accidentally wandered into a high school while I was looking for my local library or something--despite the fact that my tumblr experience (^TM) was more of a community college with occasional child-friendly days. Part of me, though, also feels a huge amount of fear and anxiety; tumblr felt like such a fandom hub that I almost don't know how to interact with such a different fandom platform. I'll have to learn how to "read the room" all over again.

Well, at any rate, here I am, here I'll be.
