So you’ve found me on Tumblr!

Welcome Twitter refugees and any followers who might still exist here. 

This is SKO_Contraption and I am N O T  P L E A S E D to be here, but happy that you found me! If our haunt on Twitter does tank, I wanted to have a backup place to post and see all of your lovely stuff, so here I am.

My first post on Tumblr was on the 13th of February 2011. 

It read, “SO I HAVE A TUMBLR... What the fuck do I do with it?”

I did a lot of things with it. Lots of cool things, and silly things, and I made some important friends. Then Tumblr got bought and went to shit and I moved to Twitter. Now Twitter’s been bought and is going to shit and I’m back here, for now, but I’ll also be over on Pillowfort with the same handle. See if that’s anything.

LFG 

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

I mean, in a perfect world we wouldn't need gender, you know? We could just voluntarily be perceived as much as we're able, as much as makes us feel fulfilled. Having a full-time gender shouldn't be a prerequisite for food, shelter, and healthcare.
