So every now and then an old post of mine takes off out of nowhere. If it starts with a reblog I assume someone’s archive diving, if it starts with a like and then likes/reblogs from other people I assume I’ve been linked somewhere and check ‘dwracu’s twitter, because half the time that’s it.

Few months ago I remember clicking around twitter and found a rare guy who seemed worth reading; as I scrolled back psyched with the discovery eventually I came to a tweet that was basically “Man, I can’t wait to see kontextmaschine’s take on 13 Hours!”

That’s not the first time I’ve had the experience of enjoying a writer only to realize halfway in that I was a subject, but it’s still uncanny. I guess I do write in the hope of being read by people I respect, so yay. I’d had no intention of having a take on 13 Hours and suddenly felt pressured to pencil one in, but decided that’s starting down a bad path. Hope I didn’t disappoint you too much, reader.

Aaaaaaanyway, why I bring this up now is for the past few weeks, this post on dinosaur illustrations has been getting a me lot of likes, and reblogs, and followers, which is completely inexplicable since it’s a reblog-without-commentary of a post with five digits of notes.

So, uh, welcome new followers, can anyone tell me what’s going on?
