My Transition
As my number of posterous subscribers reaches the number of my Tumblr subscribers (64-65), I feel the urge to say I've inadvertently switched to posterous. I still upload photos to Tumblr, which I avoid doing on this blog, but my written posts are pretty much depleted over there. Also, I feel so scrawny and unimportant in Tumblr that anything I write is hindered by my low self-confidence and fear of my boss, my ex, my family, and my friends reading it.
Also, what the hell Tumblrs, stop unfollowing me. Posterous keeps sending me new subscribers, each one a flower in my heart. The medicinal value of flora in my blood vessels is as of yet unknown.
What I'd like to see are more comments, because I like people. Since posterous has comments, I'm embracing the conversational attitude that it evokes. You can comment to any of my old posts because I get notified of any of them, and a lot of my previous posts are better than what I've been posting lately. You'll also notice that I don't respond to all of my comments like some lonely LiveJournal refugee, because some comments don't ask for responses and some I just don't understand.
I've said it before, but posterous lacks community. That said, I'm not sure I like what the Tumblr community has turned into. It's so full of latent teenage angst and vitriol that I don't read my dashboard very often anymore, and the parts of it I still enjoy are from the lesser-known Tumblrs. So here's my chance to be a part of the posterous community. Hi.
