"I'm as stubburn as a mule and also lazy." -- Me too. I'm also old and finding change increasingly difficult as I continue to age.
Interesting article and I doubt I'd have spotted it without you. So thanks for the pointer.
I find tumblr weird and kinda unfriendly. My feed may be particularly odd though as it is 96% gay porn, 3% cute animal pictures, and 1% pics of dead musicians and actors. What I don't like most is that there doesn't seem to be able to find a way to talk to people or ask about posts. Where did it originate, why do you like it, that sort of thing.
Twitter is more fun as I can respond but it is not good (as far as I can see) for fic or gaining friendship in a community.
I would not be surprised if email lists made a comeback but I don't expect them to. I worry about censorship and also that folks in private lists might find themselves on a very different type of list. I fear authoritarian presidents and governments.
Back to work with me before I fall even further behind on things that actually pay my bills....
