Sydney's Personal Blog

My friend made this, I think the world should see it too

it’s a lot of stuff…

This blog is my “main” blog but it’s not what Tumblr considers my “main”/primary blog (which is what shows up when I like/follow stuff), my memory is terrible but I think this blog became my primarily used blog due to it starting as an aesthetic blog and ending up being for a while the only blog I used.

Anyway, this has been a problem for me since it started because there’s no way to change what Tumblr considers your main/primary and because of that instead of moving my posting to what Tumblr considers my primary blog I did a totally not sus-looking workaround by making my primary blog have nothing but links to this blog, with the custom blog page being literally just a redirect to this blog’s custom page. The pfp is identical and the URL is nearly the same.

I don’t wanna have it be this way anymore, and to my knowledge Tumblr has still not added a way to change your main/primary blog so I’m kinda at a loss on what to do. This blog has literally over 6 years of posts so it would honestly suck to start over on another blog and have to search both blogs when I wanna find stuff. By switching I’d also be hoping that the small handful of people who still interact with this blog would be willing to follow me on my primary blog as well. The other pain in the ass would be copying my custom blog page over to the primary blog and making sure it works properly.

Idk, I’m frustrated with my teenage self for just continuing to dig myself into this hole rather than just moving to the primary blog when it first became a problem, because now I worry that people don’t follow my side blog(s) because they see me follow them on my primary blog and leave when they see it’s purely empty other than linking to this blog. I feel like I wanna do this move because I don’t want that to be a problem anymore but it’s gonna be rough, I doubt any of my mutuals have had this problem but please let me know if y'all have any suggestions for how to make any part of this issue better.

Also, it would mean a lot if my mutuals/active followers would be willing to follow my primary blog (@hipster–kittenn) so that if I do follow through on this I’ll at least have y'all there, if I don’t move y'all won’t see anything from that blog so I’d hope that makes it feel like less commitment since it’s not entirely just following a new blog, and if I do move there all the same posts I share here will be on there and I’ll change the URLs (which I need to pick a better URL anyways since these ones are so dated lmao)

hm. thats not right
The only visible text being “Hey guys we noticed every other web(site) failing. We really wanted to throw our ha(t in)” REALLY adds to this post

pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors
so now it’s like ‘the point of doing them is to get good at them’ and not ‘this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives’.
What’s sad to me about this is that I’ve noticed a lot of people saying they “can’t” do art, or dance, or sing. That because it’s turned into a profitable vocation, and thus has some implied heirarchy to it (ie: there are ‘master artists’, and ‘professional singers and dancers’), people feel shame for not “living up to unattainable standards,” when in reality, art for humans is very therapeutic and good for the soul.

the fact that people are actually for-real using threads is insane. is this what weve come to as a society? i remember a time when google tried to make their own version of facebook and it was regarded as so lame it was almost immediately a punchline. now META of all cunts is making its own copy of TWITTER of all cesspools and people are voluntarily joining??? whats next?? are we all gonna use bing and the windows phone too?? you people make me sick id genuinely rather us all go to the jeremy renner app
