Even no idea what self-care strategy to implement right now. I meditated with a Daily Calm from Jeff Warren called “The Boggle,” which unfortunately I can’t hotlink but here’s how it starts: Sometimes we’re in the boggle, life is throwing everything at us: complicated situations, complicated relationships, we have all these feelings, all these impulses pulling us in different directions, and we have no idea what to do. I thought of the Drake line, “I’m really too young to be feeling this old.” (Maybe originally from Garth Brooks?) So I was feeling extra isolated, had a strange pain in my lower back, and I just felt old all over. I was also on a fairly strict diet and exercise regime after slipping into a weight range I wasn’t comfortable with. I was locked down even more strictly than January 2021 because I was trying to be extra cautious prior to a surgery my Mom had later in the month. I woke up on my actual birthday and was not feeling it. This is an unusually late birthday post (still backdated to January 11).

If you haven’t tried Tumblr recently, download the app and start with Neil’s blog as a subscription. I’m seeing more and more people use Tumblr in this way, and it’s nice to be part of making the web a more interesting place.
He’s just a good presence on the internet, which is exceedingly rare to see these days. He also reblogs posts, adding on new information, providing funny commentary, or giving helpful tips (this usually causes some surprise from people who organically stumble upon a comment from Neil Gaiman in the wild, and it’s always really amusing to see). And as is the reality of the internet, he deals with his share of haters and trolls, but he’s always remarkably graceful toward them.
He helps fans track down obscure lines he’s written.
He plays along with dumb jokes and reblogs additions. He talks about the various adaptations of his works, giving information he is able to give and answering with a signature “wait and see” when he cannot. He keeps his ask box open and answers questions from fans. Yet somehow, Neil Gaiman has outlived them all, watching from the shadows of his own dashboard. This is notable, because celebrities have notoriously been bullied off of Tumblr. Neil Gaiman has been an active Tumblr user since 2011, and he still actively uses the microblogging platform to this day. From a nice new Polygon article, Our favorite Neil Gaiman books, comics, and more:īefore I elaborate - yes, people still use Tumblr and it’s far more popular than most people think.
