Careful what you wish for

Hi! For those who are somewhere in the process of fleeing from Tumblr and joining/rejoining DW, my condolences for the implosion of the former. Tumblr is a dangerous timesuck for me, because of its hypnotic, never-ending scroll of pics and gifs and interesting media, but did I mention the never-ending? I'm not going to claim to have OCD, but my sub-category of FOMO is a serious brain weasel and one of the main reasons FB is a nemesis. FB has no bottom and every other post is "Hey, have an update on that thing that's been going on for six months" and I'm like "There's a thing?" and feeling bad for not knowing about the thing and being compelled to go back and read about the thing. Babies and divorces and deaths, oh my.

So yeah, this week has been something of a scramble to stay on top of my DW reading list. I love hearing everyone's news and seeing them post here! But it's, ah, a bit overwhelming? As I put it elsewhere, "Yay, all the content to read! YIKES, ALL THE CONTENT TO READ!"

In short, still here, still reading, still commenting way more than posting, glad to see you all! Somehow I will get through the 80+ tabs I have open. :)

I know what you mean! The sudden influx is a bit overwhelming and I don’t even have a particularly big circle. I am loving seeing what all these old friends are up to though.

Exactly - so many cases of "Hey, I remember you! Good to see you!" :)
