a funny thing about this being one of my more popular posts is that in all truth i DO tell people out loud that i'm on tumblr, and the myth that this site is dead is so pervasive that it absolutely does not matter. i can say “i have a tumblr” present tense, or “i am going home after work tonight to spend a ridiculous amount of time on tumblr,” or even “here is a direct link to a post on my personal tumblr blog, that i made just now today about a currently happening event,” and they’re like “wow i remember hearing about tumblr. how many years ago is this from?” it quite simply will not sink in. great news for the “i do not wish to be perceived” crowd we are actually comically impervious to it.
