Pilgrim’s Progress Report, Week 3 or 4 or Something, I Don’t Know

I largely can’t tell when people on Tumblr are joking or angry or serious.

But worse, I can never tell when they’re drunk or high, or just pretending to be drunk or high, or just wishing they were drunk or high.

People sure do talk about drugs and alcohol a lot.

One result: it’s near-impossible to distinguish a suicidal plan being blogged from a tipsy in-joke.

For the most part, this is delightful, because it’s not my problem, is it! Presumably if people are in some kind of trouble, their real friends will help them out. (awkward laugh here)

And I do enjoy the text-as-autism feature of being a Tumblr reader, if you know what I mean. Though that’s not right: I can’t figure out what people are saying because they’re putting so much, and so many, inflections on their texts, right? That sounds righter. Very complicated things people are doing! (That was not sarcastic, it was appreciative.)

In conclusion, I am issuing a strong “buy” on Tumblr, with great expectations for future performance.
