Cool Kid? You?

[sleigh]

I now have a Tumblr account: stephen-leigh. It's still in its infancy, and I haven't at all yet figured out how best to use Tumblr or how to navigate around in that space. But I'm told all the cool kids are moving over there, and you know how desperately I want to be a cool kid. :-) If you have tips, let me me know, and if you're on Tumblr, check it out.

Tell us what Tumblr is, Unca Steve!

Steve hasn't much better of a clue. Ask me again in a month or so. It appears to be a cross between FB and Instagram. We'll see if I end up using it much...

It wouldn’t be a bad place for the morning bird pictures, fwiw. I find there’s a lot of interesting stuff - the Medieval PoC tumblr, and quite a few others; there’s also a lot of various media fandoms, because it is very easy to post pictures.

I have the visual acumen of a dodo, so I don’t post very much - I generally reblog artist bits (like the finished art for my HLQ book covers, without the text, because the artist is on tumblr - and answer Asks.

I’m kind of the antithesis of cool kid, but I try to be available on social media platforms *if* readers want to reach me, and I try to respond on them. I think I’m most active on twitter - and that would be me posting a couple of tweets a week, with the exception of answering tweets that are sent to me.

I'm rather the antithesis of cool kid as well, and I'm mostly approaching social media for the same reasons you are...
