gosh why am i on about tumblr

[aurora_chiroptera]

I was looking over my Tumblr, deciding if there was anything that I wanted to save. I have tags for writing and books that I want to make sure I keep access to. But as I went into my archive, and starting looking back at the posts on there from November and December of 2013 when I started the blog... I found I didn't want to loose any of it. The cringey crossover posts and art, the fandoms I want no part of now, posts of when I was so closeted I thought I was just an ally and not queer myself... So many things that made me either nostalgic instead of embarrassed or proud of how much I have grown and learned about myself and the world.

Now I'm not sure what to do, because so much of the content isn't even my own, just reblogs I've collected along the way. Maybe I'll find a way to save it all, or maybe I'll just hope it doesn't get wiped. But damn, I didn't think I would be this sad about what it has meant to me personally.

1. sorry I accidentally deleted the first comment

2. tumblr has an export "feature" that apparently takes about 5 hours to export 100 posts. you can also try this app here which is possibly better

Oh, that is very good to know! I was looking at the export feature, but yeah, it doesn't seem worth it unless I could target specific things. I will certainly check out that app!

There's also this one; word is it's a little less Expert Level, but I can't say either way myself since I did like you originally planned and only grabbed a few posts by hand.

Good to know, I will check this one out as well! Thank you so much!
