Tumblr?

Okay, so I am sure you are all very tired of seeing posts by people going, "Who is Tumblr? What is she, that all our fans commend her?" But! I have a question, brought on by thehoyden, who is, it goes without saying, a terrible person. And so, yes, this is another How Does Tumblr post. Sorry.

See, I have always rejected Tumblr as Not for Me, because walls of text are not welcome there, and I am an entirely text-based creature. And I will probably always be a more or less passive Tumblr user, but - I was considering posting, like, shorter, single-thing recs there. For recs that will never fit in a set! Or whatever! It would still be all text, though. Is that a thing I should do? OPINE AT ME, Tumblr denizens! Assuming any of you still read this text-based medium.

Here: http://tankisclean.tumblr.com/ this is my tumblr. It's a pretty good reflection of my dashboard. Some text, pictures, links etc. There's actually a lot more text on my dashboard, I just don't reblog as much of it as I do pictures. I get whole essays, and really, Neil Gaiman posts mostly text, as you can imagine.

If you look at specific tags like "domestic avengers" for example you'll see LOTS of blocks of text. Some people post whole fics to tumblr. There's also a lot of fic reccing.

What I would suggest as a compromise to cross-posting everything here would be to make a reminder post here once a week or so "recs posted to tumblr this week, go here!" and just link to the tumblr, because you don't have to have an account in order to read someone's page. It would be a lot less work than trying to crosspost everything.
