Tumblr tells me it’s been a glorious two years since I started my blog over there. I’ve been blogging over here for longer than that, but it feels fitting that I jumped over a hurdle on this dot-com side of things just yesterday: the comments section ACTUALLY WORKS! I’d heard it hadn’t been working by some Tumblr troll a while back and assumed that it would eventually fix itself. It didn’t. But now it works.
I’ve been sluggish with my long form posting lately because school and newfound hobbies keep me busy. But having been in a very opinionated mood lately, I seek to get back into it more. Also, with comments being back, I hope that I can facilitate some degree of intellectual discussion here. Facebook can be fun, but people deserve more than overgeneralized infographics and filter bubbles all the time. Our brains deserve a jog.
I am a firm believer that one day there will be a wider rejection of reductive internet bickering and a shift towards more nuanced discussions in such a format as this, so I hope this page can be a space for the beginning of that, as it has always been intended to be. Fire up that RSS feed, people.
I’m sorry that the post immediately before this one is disturbing.
