My Day off Tumblr

[psghayleaux]

I got laundry done, which is normal for a Monday. Got some crochet done while hanging out with the sister in law.

We also had tea in late observation of tea day.

And watched movies. She'd never seen Venom so we watched that and now I have fan art to work on for her. Then we watched Destination Wedding, which was delightful. Then because we have varied tastes we started watching Scorpion King Book of Souls.

I'll be honest I'm finishing that trash fire of a movie even though she's gone home now.

If you enjoy bad movies, I'd like to recommend Beyond Skyline, in which Frank Grillo exudes protective masculinity while carrying a baby, and Callan Mulvey wears a bandanna and operates a microscope. It's particular good with hard liquor and friends.

That one had sort of been on the edge of my viewing awareness. But I think I'll add it to the watch list now. :)

I've been at work most of the day reading various sub/reddits and I'm going to spend some more time configuring Dreamwidth. I don't really think this one day off will make much of an impact since this is being driven in part by Sosta/Festa, but maybe it will give media companies some motivation to start lobbying for net neutrality again....

I'm sure one day won't make much of an impact. And like you said there are other factors at work. But it's something. And honestly, I'm thinking I'm going to take today off from it too.

The protest is actually set to go in parts. Letter and emailing campaign follows, a week of protesting and then ultimately blog deletion. I think it should be protested whether it works or not Tumblr and others should know how people feel about this because it's not just about Tumblr it's about how we use the internet to share information and media.

Now I've been on a bit this morning but having taken a full day off I am now thinking of quitting Tumblr for good. I run a com there, but maybe I can find a moderator to take over I don't know.

But honestly I feel better about how I spent my internet time yesterday away from Tumblr and I also realized just how often I default to soc_media in idle moments, it's absurd. I think it would be better for me to be reading a book or something.

I'm not sure I'm ready to quit Tumblr for good yet, but I am considering cutting back how much time I spend on there. But you're right about the protesting.

I've got a long list of books to read through, I've got art I keep thinking I want to make. Stepping back from Tumblr is probably going to be good for me.
