If it starts with a reblog I assume someone\u2019s archive diving, if it starts with a like and then likes/reblogs from other people I assume I\u2019ve been linked somewhere and check \u2018dwracu\u2019s twitter, because half the time that\u2019s it.</p><p>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 \u201cMan, I can\u2019t wait to see kontextmaschine\u2019s take on 13 Hours!\u201d</p><p>That\u2019s <a href=\"/post/3342963327/\" target=\"_blank\">not the first time</a> I\u2019ve had the experience of enjoying a writer only to realize halfway in that I was a subject, but it\u2019s still uncanny. I guess I do write in the hope of being read by people I respect, so yay. I\u2019d had no intention of having a take on 13 Hours and suddenly felt pressured to pencil one in, but decided that\u2019s starting down a bad path. Hope I didn\u2019t disappoint you too much, reader.</p><p>Aaaaaaanyway, why I bring this up now is for the past few weeks, <a href=\"/post/137250256063/\" target=\"_blank\">this post</a> on dinosaur illustrations has been getting a me lot of likes, and reblogs, and followers, which is <i>completely inexplicable</i> since it\u2019s a reblog-without-commentary of a post with five digits of notes.</p><p>So, uh, welcome new followers, can anyone tell me what\u2019s going on?</p>"}
