people who use the queue function fill a necessary role in the tumblr ecosystem. they keep posts alive. if u miss a post bc ur entire mutualcule was reblogging it from each other in a 30min span and u were offline, the queue mutual provides u an opportunity to see that post again in 1-8 business days. they put posts in stasis in little cryogenic freezers for u to discover and enjoy later. everyone thank their queue mutuals right now

#…you’re…welcome? #I never wanted to be a queue mutual #it feels like defeat #it feels like I’ve spent down so much of my supply of executive function that #even *deciding whether to reblog a post* (+ what to tag it with) needs to be set aside until I can muster the strength to tackle it #I was going to say I’m up to several dozen to-be-dealt-with-later tabs #but I just went and counted and it’s‚ uh‚ 140 #(not all of them are Tumblr tabs‚ and not all of the Tumblr tabs will end up getting reblogged‚ but still) #((also I do read my entire dash‚ so ”missing a post because I was offline” is not a problem that I have)) #it’s January 4th‚ and I am going to try to…well‚ not get through all of these tabs *today* #not if it’s 140 #but keep up enough of a pace that my 4 posts/day queue doesn’t lapse until I’ve caught up #wish me luck‚ and for that matter skill #and get ready for some blasts from the past‚ because some of these are *far* more than 8 business days #Tumblr: a User’s Guide
