    Tumblr, on the other hand, is not a place for my thoughts and feelings. Tumblr is about my feelings, making them trite and contagious. There is a beauty in the way that I suddenly feel like a small point in a mass of humanity, the kind of thing you feel when you live in a city like New York. But, the things that I would like to lay claim to as being original and my own are things I’d rather keep to myself, for fear of being misappropriated: taken through the odd contraptions that make up other peoples’ brains, the gaps in what I meant and what I can say filled with whatever they’d like to think. Sometimes it feels as if the reblog button is a building machine that strips something of its’ meaning with each iteration.

    I wrote this yesterday. I’m excerpting this part of the post because gbattle asked why I no longer post blog posts to Tumblr. I guess it just comes down to a general sense that the platform, its’ social conventions, doesn’t feel like a place for or respectful of the things I actually spend time on.
