ok, here's what i want for chanukkah

you have to give me a lesson in tumblr

Katherine: yo ask david

idk anything

me: really!?

Katherine: tumblr is for kids

and pictures!

tumblr is all about pictures

i'm text-based
11:16 AM
me: i have a tumblr and i get how to publish but what i don't get is how to follow and just basically know what the fuck IS GOING ON

how do you work it?

Katherine: it's predicated on the idea that you have a vast amount of free time

me: oh, that makes sense

Katherine: seriously

i can't name any grown ups who use it

I think it's a way to reach an alternate group of "commenters"

me: which is why we're becoming obsolette. that's my point

Katherine: ify ou post an excerpt of a story with a large photo

and a link

people will reblog click etc who wouldn't normally read observer

but it's not even worth following other people
11:18 AM
me: not even to find good writers and/or young girls who want to sleep with editors?

Katherine: because you'll see who reblogs you, and i'ts not like you have time to kill reblogging w/ witty comment

me: jk

Katherine: i don't even think there are good writers!

except david

who admits that tumblr is a bad platform for him but stays on it due to his teen girl following

me: oh, really? but choire and balk are all over it. they understand something i don'tl. and i need to know what it is
11:19 AM
Katherine: no they're not1

they post like, a photo to it

or a link with witty comment

and watch their supplicants reblog

me: supplicants. right...
11:20 AM
i think i should post this entire chat to tumblr

Katherine: NOW YOU GET IT
