Random, pissy version, which may just lose some followers and cause Tumblarity to plummet:

- I stopped using Google Chrome for a while because it didn’t work with Tumblr’s browser bar thingy. They fixed that and I’m using Chrome again.

- I hate it when people talk politics on Tumblr, including me. I always look back at any posts I’ve made with political statements and wince, even though I usually haven’t changed my mind. I’ve unfollowed both liberals and conservatives on here because of how vicious they got when the discussion became political.

- I unfollowed Soup because he dissed high school drama kids and Monty Python. I started out on the jock track, man, but the best thing I did in high school was quit football to be a drama geek (I should note, too, none of my old teammates were ever stupid enough to try and give me shit about it either). I know Soup gets lots of Tumblr love for many reasons, but I still think, “Fuck you, Soup,” whenever I remember his crack.

- I don’t get TopherChris and don’t think he’s as funny as he thinks he is (in his defense, I am certain the same thing could be said about me, there). There. I said it.

- I frequently post something I think is fun or whatever and it gets no reblogs. A day later someone else - who follows me and whom I follow, usually - posts the same thing and acts like it’s the greatest thing since Keyboard Cat. This has pissed me off ever since I started using Tumblr and pisses me off, still. It’s obviously not a dealbreaker, though.

- Connected to the previous true confession: I will never be able to prove this, but at one time, at least, I think the DailyWhat regularly stripped reblog credit and posted stuff they found on Tumblr as if it was new. I will never follow DW for this reason.

- I try to follow everyone who follows me, but in a way, I dread ever getting a ton of Tumblr followers, for that reason. This isn’t Twitter. I could never, ever keep track of hundreds of followees here. It is clear to me that some folks who do follow hundreds of Tumblrs never read even half of what is posted on their dash.

- This isn’t really blogging. No one said it was, either. Still, it looks a lot like it. But long, text-y posts like this usually get the tl;dr treatment on Tumblr - from me, as well.

- A lot of Tumblrs smoke. Love ya, but I don’t get it and never will. Mind you, my mama smoked - and may still smoke. I don’t find it rebellious, cool or any of that nonsense. I’m truly confounded that extremely intelligent adults still do it. The minor, passing buzz you’re supposed to get from nicotine cannot possibly be worth the cancer, emphysema, COPD, etc.

- I don’t know you, but I truly worry about some of you. That’s actually the hardest thing about being on here, sometimes. I have enough free-floating anxiety in my life. And worry focused on people I know in real life, to boot (like my kids).

- Finally: FUCK TUMBLARITY. I still think it’s the dumbest thing the folks who run Tumblr ever did, and I’ve gotten very good at ignoring it.
