Last night I had the bright idea of removing the Tumblr app from the homepage on my phone (not deleting it! Just moving it out of sight) and man, I am glad I did. I keep reflexively looking for it when I have a minute to myself, because Tumblr was good for distractions and new stuff and pretty pretty art, but not for community. 

Whereas anytime I open up a DW window I end up with nine tabs and three replies to write because To Be A Fan On DW is to be a chatty, chatty human being. XD

Does the social media you're using effect who you are on that platform?  I tend to think it does, but I am betting people have other experiences.

I have tried to establish Kitewithfish as Who I Am in fandom with little IRL crossover, so most of my online stuff is as a version of myself slightly detached from people who might google my name. Who I am online with fannish folks is different than I am with people on, say, Facebook, but it's pretty close to who I am in person. I have mostly kept FB a Fandom Free Zone for me, since god, that site gives me the Heebies AND the Jeebies, but I happily chat about fanfic with people who know me in life, tho I am coy about usernames.

Welp, backed up my Tumblr using this tutorial - It worked fine, and it's nice to have the whole things saved in one place. I doubt I'm slated for deletion, but honestly, how would I even know given how awful Tumblr's admins are at communicating? 

Watching: Person of Interest, restarting from season one because I do not have a clear idea of when I stopped watching. I'm really enjoying it but I'm also surprised at just how expensive it seems - I usually like tv shows that are pretty low budget, so for a show that averages a fair number of car crashes per season, it's kind of surprising that I like it as much as I do. I'm experiencing a slight sympathetic neck cramp watching Harold's posture. Taraji Henson is a fucking amazing gift - just solid a Carter from the start. 

Knitting: Fidget Socks ! (Free pattern) This is a good pattern for variegated or hand dyed yarns if you like socks. Pics of mine on Ravelry with the link. I have done with before with the Fish Lips Kiss heel and it's a good fit. 

Reading: The Revolutionary by astolat - just in case you needed a Transformers fic to break your brain with about the nature of society, and compromises, and the things that we ignore for the sake of our own comfort, and the choices we make to live with ourselves, and what we do when we are no longer the people who made those choices anymore. Oh, for fuck's sake, go read it, it's Astolat, you know she's good for it.

The main style is still Mobility, I just played around with the background image (yarn, bitches) and the colors.

The Mobility style got so popular in post-Tumblr users that I wanted a clearer way to just look at my blog and immediately know it was mine.

I used this HTML color tool to pull colors from the image I used as my background - https://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/?imageLoader= - Reasonably happy with it so far.

-Just to get this resource into people's hands - this is super useful! Good explanation of the differences between DW and Tumblr, and some of the cultural differences, too.
