But, Steph, WHY do white people all want rope corsets? We need a research grant to study this phenomenon, stat.

FB has an "algorithm"? Like, you just don't see the stuff your friends post, in the order they post it?

But that'd be why I signed up!

Don't understand...

Steph, I'm not sure you have to have been born with a penis, and there's always the possibility that merely having sex with a member of the family suffices for entree. I'm willing to broker that if need be.

Facebook is a fucking mess, and also people post weird things and ALSO I think that "cleaning out my closet" business is annoying.

And I just remembered my new coworker is presenting at a conference, so that must be what she is doing in there, not working on her old job. So that's better.

Like, you just don't see the stuff your friends post, in the order they post it?

You'd think, right? Algorithm may be too strong a word. Some monkeys throwing sticks at the keyboard may be closer. But no. For some people, it decides you want IMPORTANT posts only, however FB defines that. For some you get "most" posts. I think you can manually set or change them, but who the hell knows anymore.

Now having a Tunblr, I've followed Good Stuff! People following me, fair warning, all I do is reblog stuff. I can't be arsed to come up with new stuff. Really, I only have it so I can politely stalk Tom Hiddleston.

When I want to declutter my friendslist, I just hide people, or set them to "only important updates." I assume they're doing the same with me. Why ask permission to not read posts you're not interested in anymore?

Some monkeys throwing sticks at the keyboard may be closer.

I think this is probably it.

I've never seen another "product"(for values that include free service, I guess) that makes itself worse every time it makes changes.

You've seen gawker.com, Amy.

I don't get the friendslist cleaning query, but I'm really not healthy enough for LJ (har!). I mean, I don't want to share enough of what's going on inside or right outside for an LJ post, and reactions to other people's reactions to pretty things with a once monthly multi-paragraph vent is precisely my speed. Tumblr is so perfect for me right now. And, good god, the train wrecks you can rubberneck...sheeit.

Oh yeah. But it's not a contest you want to win!

Tumblr is really addictive. I hate Twitter now -- no pretty pictures.

I should really start a personal tumblr so I can just reblog Chris Hemsworth all day, but I figure other people do that plenty, so I can just look.....
