cimorene: Half the space is filled with a jumble of overlapping geometric shapes in a variety of colors (confetti)
After a while of using the desktop less and the laptops and phone more, I've started to use Tumblr much less (Tumblr Mobile is awful), and I find Dreamwidth more pleasant and more interesting now.

Dreamwidth doesn't have nearly the volume of content (well, unless I look at the Network, but that is almost bewilderingly large) and it has few images, so it doesn't give you the dopamine hit that more modern social media sites were engineered to create for the purposes of addiction so they could sell ad space. Reloading Tumblr or Twitter will almost always give something new that catches your eye if you're having that restless, bored ADHD-brained feeling, but it's not as pleasant or as interesting. I am more engaged by my Dreamwidth circle that lets me actually keep up with the lives of the people I follow (well, to varying degrees), and the more writerly post style.

I do miss images though! I'm really grateful to the people I follow who post pictures regularly, and I always mean to post more of them, but I rarely get around to it. Here's a few though:
