brainwaneI am on Bluesky and sometimes I go look at ![[staff profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
denise 's feed there.
I remembered that a few years ago she had noticed that Tumblr had a particular job opening, and had speculated about what a person in that role might want to do with the platform.

I had not realized that she had applied for that job, and that she had done so partly because she is "very bored."
This feels like information other people who use Dreamwidth might like to know. I had not previously understood that the chief executive of this platform is bored with her current job, and that provides me with a perspective I'm a little uncomfortable with.
EDITED 17 FEB TO SAY (as I said below in a comment): I screwed up here. Yeah. I’ll write about my screw-up at more length later, but I want to at least note here that yeah, I really didn't go about this in a way that foregrounded "I have concerns but I want to share them in a way that is overall supportive of the site".
