I'm trying to decide what I want to use this space for, and I'm kind of tempted to use it for the posts that I tag as "thinky thoughts" over on tumblr.
tumblr's great for a lot of things - obviously, I've been blogging there for almost a decade. But it can also get overwhelming sometimes.
My personal account there is semi-dormant since I tend to think of that as a place where I can hyperfixate on my fandom of choice and interact with other people in that fandom - but I don't currently have a fandom that I'm obsessed with the way I was with my last one.
I do miss that feeling, though. A lot.
So I think I might use this space to dump all of these thoughts that I have about social media and fandom and the various discourses that keep me up at night. This is a better forum to have those kinds of conversations. Even when I reblog other people's opinions on tumblr, it feels too much like I'm an audience member watching a conversation rather than an actual participant in it. Especially when so many of the speakers are actually just whispering in their tags.

For me, this feels totally normal and exactly what I've been missing on tumblr :) Imagine! We're having an actual conversation! Kind of amazing, isn't it? :D

(speaking of discord, if you ever wanna start a server, I think it would go really well, but no pressure xD )

I'm on discord, but it's a private server with my RP partner and we just write back and forth and chat about life. That's about my speed :)
