“Anyhow, the older I get, the less impressed I become with originality. These days, I’m far more moved by authenticity. Attempts at originality can often feel forced and precious, but authenticity has quiet resonance that never fails to stir me.” — Elizabeth Gilbert

Welcome back to weird. I’m back in my Tumblr era—and I’ve never felt more at home

“Truth is, when you’ve spilled your confessions all over the Internet as a raging teenager, there is no end to the world of cringe. Yet, its very essence and conscience remains clear. In a universe of new social media platforms that pop up every now and then, Tumblr has always been less about the ‘social’, and more of the…everything else. It maintains its anonymity; you could exist as completely different entities of yourself, the selves you never want to let people in the real world perceive you for—whether you’re 13 and insecure, or well, 27 (and still insecure!).”

It’s my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Donotdestroy.com was a website that used Tumblr as its platform, but its exact launch date is unclear. However, it was active around the early 2010s, particularly during Tumblr’s peak years under Yahoo (2013–2017).

I think I’ve been on Tumblr since before 2015. This is my second account—I deleted my first one.

NFT Art

The point of NFT (Non-Fungible Token) art lies in its ability to create a unique, verifiable digital asset on the blockchain. Here are some reasons why NFT art is significant:

1. Proof of Ownership and Authenticity

NFTs serve as digital certificates of authenticity and ownership for a piece of art. While digital files can be easily copied, the NFT associated with the artwork is unique and cannot be duplicated.

2. Empowering Artists

NFTs allow artists to sell their work directly to collectors without relying on traditional galleries or auction houses. This removes intermediaries and provides artists with more control and profit.

3. Royalties

Many NFT platforms enable artists to earn royalties automatically whenever their art is resold. This ensures artists benefit from the ongoing appreciation of their work.

4. Global Accessibility

NFTs make it easy to buy, sell, and showcase art worldwide. Collectors can access art markets digitally, opening up opportunities for artists to reach a broader audience.

5. Digital Ownership in the Age of Digital Art

As more art is created digitally, NFTs provide a way to establish ownership and value for pieces that exist purely in the digital space.

6. Community and Interaction

Many NFT projects are tied to communities or larger ecosystems. Owning an NFT might grant access to exclusive events, collaborations, or additional content, fostering a sense of connection between artists and collectors.

7. Speculation and Investment

For some, NFTs represent an investment opportunity. Collectors may buy NFTs hoping they will increase in value over time.

8. Exploring New Creative Mediums

NFTs encourage artists to experiment with new forms of expression, such as interactive or evolving digital artworks, which aren’t possible in traditional formats.

While some critics see NFTs as overhyped or problematic (e.g., concerns about environmental impact or speculative bubbles), proponents view them as a revolutionary way to value, share, and engage with art in the digital era. For artists, NFTs could provide a platform to share their digital creations while building a sustainable income.

Digital platforms, no matter how popular or seemingly permanent, are not immune to shutting down or becoming obsolete. Instagram, for example, holds countless personal memories, creative works, and moments of history. If it were to shut down, much of that content could be lost if users don’t proactively save it elsewhere.

This issue isn’t unique to Instagram; platforms like MySpace, Vine, or Google+ show how fleeting digital spaces can be. MySpace famously lost millions of songs and files during a server migration, erasing a decade of content. This highlights how dependent we are on platforms to act as digital archives—but those archives are fragile.
