Starting Tuesday probably, I'm gonna go offline from tumblr again for a bit. I'll be back in October bc I want to write through Inktober this year, and then after that... we'll see. 👌

I firmly believe this digital age forces us to (in the name of social approval) stay in contact with the people who should have been out of our lives long ago

[brainless-moe-white-lotus]

The way I understand tiktok is that like, for most of our lives if you were extremely online it was because u were kinda socially isolated irl for some reason, like u were some kinda outsider to the dominant culture for any variety of reasons, and most memes we've grown up with since like the forums to MySpace to tumblr/Reddit to twitter days have been to some degree insular from like, dominant culture, as most socially accepted ppl kinda hung out irl and mostly used social media adjunctively (insta, FB, Snapchat, etc).

Then due to a global pandemic every single person in the world got super online at once, now at the tail end of web2 where they aren't savvy enough to resist being completely taken in by algorithms, so the tiktok algorithm sunk it's talons into every single person and they began to circulate on a much larger scale their own memes and cultural ideas that were shaped by like, the broader dominant culture by people who have largely never had to question their place in society.

Thus tiktok rapidly disseminates bioessentialism, ableism, a paranoid fear of the "criminal", unquestioning and stalwart fixations on the biomedical model of therapy, all repacked for the online sphere of clout chasing via algorithm.

Participation is so ubiquitous that for a person who was online due to social isolation ten years ago, you now get to face an entirely new form of social isolation from your coworkers, family, and classmates as they gawk at the novelty of the fact that you Do Not use tiktok.

The way I understand tiktok is that somewhere between 2019 and now I became a Luddite without really fundamentally changing anything about myself and now have to see web2 metastasising into its final form where hyperavailability of information de-evolves into worsening illiteracy among most ppl I encounter outside my immediate circle of other weirdos.

weird ask but you said you're a compsci major? do you have any info on whether or not hiring managers could see my tumblr during a background check? i use the same email for here that i apply to jobs with. but i use a fake name, don't post any personal information, and have the "hide me from search results" and "hide me from people without an account" on. idrk how online background checks work lol but i know sometimes they look at social media

Yes they do background checks. I work for in an entrepreneurship incubator and another tech club and we have almost similar hiring process as that of companies. We basically look through all your existing profiles to see what kind of a person you are. Which means hate speech, xenophobia/racism, transphobia and what not. If a person is involved in any of this we won't even look at the cv. But that only applies to fb, insta or snapchat. I have never seen anyone ask or go through someone's tumblr(we are an outdated community 😶).

But just in case use another email and transfer everything from this blog onto their. Just in case. Better safe than never.

Does anyone feel weird when they read a novel and there’s paragraph of social media? Like the characters talking about Snapchat, TikTok, Insta, FB? Idk it just feels too real at that point. Please no. I barely understand in rl and you want me to understand it in/for the book?

What do you/would you wear to the club? If you had to dye your hair how would you dye it? Do you enjoy using social media other than tumblr?

Hiiii friend! <3 thank you for the questions!

To the club i'd wear... i usually wear a dress of some sorts that shows my tits, something that i can dance in without much restriction and usually sth flat because i cant even walk in heels, except these one rly sturdy winter ones.

Id dye it RED! AGAIN! i had red hair at the like, worst time in my life so it gives my family ptsd, but i would go red IMMEDIATELY if i could guarantee that my mom wouldnt have a nervous breakdown when she saw me.

I... not rly. Insta is fun for mindless reel scrolling and for recipes, ive found some cool stuff that way, but i dont like it that much. Fb is unusable, i dont have tiktok or snapchat or rly anything else. Tumblr seems to me like the only actual "social" media with 0 expectations and i love it for that.

[susycardano]

Got snapchat?

Nope. I only have fb and insta but that's for my friends and family. They are both closed, do not post there. Only here ✨

[occultdaddy]

I hate that I still use snapchat. I wanna get rid of it like I did with fb/insta - but my older sibling post pictures of their kid... kinda gotta stay in the family groupchat then >:CCCC

Dear Erin,

you know those screams that come from a mother who has lost her child. those harrowing harrowing screams. full of pain. I am full of those harrowing screams. This pain is too much, im so alone.

I know that there are people that would be sad if I were gone, some even shook if I were gone. I do care that they would be sad too and I know that there's no winners in the suffering olympics but. I. am. suffering. more.

I hate that im going to cause my mumma to scream like those mothers. I just spoke to her and she looks at me with empathy and love. all I want is a big hug from my momma (Julie) but im here and she's there.

If im going to do this, I have to succeed because I don't want to go back to any of the places ive been. I don't want the dogs to see me like this. When im gone, make sure they go to my aunty Julie. When im gone, make sure you go into phone, let Zach Christ(text messages) know, Zac Dyer(WhatsApp), Dylan brown(snapchat), Lexi(text messages, but wait until she's back in Queensland, she just got engaged and I want her to have some more happy memories before she knows). make a post on fb and insta. let everyone know. I have multiple notes over the years address to a lot of people, I have left my journals out. I don't have any regrets, only that im about to cause everyone some pain. Man, I also wish I got to FaceTime with Zach.

I'll see you soon Erin. I'll get to see Emmey too. I've missed you both.

love,

Han

I’m scrolling all day everyday

Insta – some one sends a reel~ should be reacting but I’m scrolling Fb – shows me notifications in video section ~ should be ignoring but I’m scrolling YouTube – searched something ~ should watch the thing i searched for but shots come in and I’m scrolling Snapchat – nothing from no where swipes left and…… I’m scrolling Twitter – ohh thats a past, better to avoid Xes _stranger

[real-doozy]
