thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

this is not a sad post!!!! this is a celebration!!!!! art is part of the human condition!!!!!!! we were born to create and share!!!!!!!!!!!

how does tumblr even work do you just like talk to yourself until people are like “i like this one”

this is actually exactly how it works

I’ll see people literally say “don’t take inspiration from my art/ocs” online (mostly on toyhouse) and I just wonder how we strayed so far from what art is? no art was created in a vacuum. all art was inspired by other art and all art will inspire others. art is a constant collaboration of everyone and everything, you cannot isolate your art from that collaboration unless you keep it private

those mutuals you have for years and years without ever really engaging with directly…. they are like coworkers to me. susan from accounting. I know you have kids and your interests (not aligned with mine but that’s okay) and we will never get after work drinks. but in my mind I am signing your birthday card.

honestly really sexy of tumblr to keep follower numbers private. how many people are following me? you’ll never know unless I tell you. maybe it’s a million, or a thousand, or five, or maybe it’s just you. maybe you’re the only one here, all by yourself, unable to see if there’s anyone standing next to you.

and you’d never know, because status here is based on opinion and not numbers; how popular you think someone is is a vibes-only calculation, and besides the chronological algorithms-optional feed, it’s genuinely the best thing tumblr’s ever done.

every other social media site: here’s how many followers this person has

Yes, I’ve done the work analyzing this relationship’s problematic traits and I’ve come to the educated conclusion that I still want them to fuck

funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls
