The Narcissus that is @ymutate (and other blogs) has been stealing my posts (reposting not reblogging, kids), sometimes hours after they go up since at least 2017. At first I tried to make it clear I noticed, but that only served as more inspiration for his childish nonsense. So edgy.
Others have accused him of various bad mannered things but he affects a geegollygosh pose about it, like any dilettante desperate for attention.
Long ago, since he followed me, I would reblog something he just stole so he would see it and know I knew. No success.
At one point I would look at his blog and even try not to reblog something I had posted before him (I often reblog myself) just to calm the waters, but sociopathic behavior only seeks attention.
When I blocked him years ago he really went to town, even things I scanned. Sometimes he will take the trouble to find a different scan but post the same thing. It’s not surprising given the quality of his blog that he would want someone else to curate it, but I thought I would mention it for people that want to block him before he does the same to them. This is similar to some instagram people (one I have mentioned) but hell, at least that’s a different platform. It’s difficult to believe that this person even likes art.
I won’t be bothered answering questions or denials or gossip about this, which will all be lies, I literally have hundreds of receipts for proof.
This is not accidental or normal behavior. This is not regular blogging repeats that always occur on tumblr.
I’m sure someone will say he just has the same taste as I do, you know, the same taste 24 hours later.
and so it continues
Today’s installment of “How can anyone be so desperate for attention”
“When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money. Yet, it was a golden age, for we all had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large I shall not venture to discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root and grow. We must all hope we find them.”
