Hearth & Horn

No - just online; I'm trying to think of it a Publication to help me think in terms of structuring a book, rather than the sort of ad hoc mindset you bring to blogging.

Blogging is an interesting one, though. Like. I know it's inherently objectionable to take an artists work and repost it - even with credit. At the same time, platforms like Pinterest and Tumblr are designed preciciely for taking, reposting and decontextualising an artist's work. Some artists DO object to this, and do use the "report and remove" function to stop it. But the tide is relentless and most have accepted it just due to necessary, which I think is horrible.

Anyway, my sense is that if I make each of my gods a tumblr tag or Pinterest board, I won't get any pushback. If I use images to illustrate my blog, I will. Despite it being the same act.

And I guess that is because an individual blogger can be asked/bullied into stopping, whereas a platform like Pinterest or Tumblr simply can't be.

I think my argument here is: it sucks that artists don't have thst level of control over their work anymore, but I'm frustrated that that situation sort of...encourages me to use a platform I dislike because i know it will provide that buffer. When I'd much rather use a blog, and be in a position where I can individually take down artworks on request & provide artists with that reassurance - but I don't want to experience hostility so...
