I know I only have about zero people friended over here - but, I need to type this somewhere lest I forget it.
I'd been following some rad femme blogs on tumblr, just checking back in with some discourse I'd lost touch with, and, wow. It was hardly changed.
And then, in the middle of the night one night last week, I realized --- IT HAD HARDLY CHANGED.
Like - I'm pretty sure I have -- literally -- read those same passages, those same complaints about porn or makeup, about control over the means of production before. Like word for word before.
In the meantime I'd unfollowed them because they were boring and repetitive (ding ding ding!), but now I'm thinking that if I ever do refollow I'm going to feed some of the longer, more familiar entries through the plagirism detector tools.
Not, I hasten to add, because I plan on 'turning them in' to the nonexistant tumblr political philosophy plagiarism police - but because it would be interesting to know if, well, if rad femmes are so desperate for numbers/contact/followers that they have been reduced to the equivelent of spam bots.
