A Meaningless Milestone
Oct. 18th, 2021 08:42 pmIt didn’t happen when I was posting the covers of computer magazines from the 1970s, nor with covers from the 1980s (very much), but as I pressed into the 1990s on my Tumblr I must have caught the attention of someone with a number of followers, because “likes” have begun accumulating a few at a time. The number of accounts proclaimed to follow my own have also increased little by little, until one day there were over a hundred. I have kept telling myself little should be made of this; even in the heyday that lured me into signing up there Tumblr didn’t seem built for much in the way of meaningful interaction, and I’m leery of seeing just what else certain other accounts just happen to “reblog” along with those covers cadged from the Internet Archive. However, I suppose this was the best thing I could think of right now to keep up my “every so often” posting rhythm here.
