   I know #Tumblr has a bad reputation, but there's a great thing it's really good at: "yes, and..." #improv #storytelling / #writing

   For exampe, here's a thread that starts with someone going 'I wonder if, in superhero universes, the villains ever get contacted by those “Make a Wish Foundation” and similar people. [because a kid wants to meet a villain]', and has half a dozen people chiming in with thoughts and story pieces.

     @Anke That's not entirely wrong I suppose, but there's so much more than that obviously.

     Tumblr's weird. It's got a pretty good platform for outward-facing blogging, but a culture (caused by reblogs easy, comments hard) that makes such blogs pretty much incomprehensible.

     @Anke What bad reputation do you think it has?
