#it's been a few 12 hour days here so 🫠 no thoughts head empty

in my opinion you should always add the source to the post, especially if it's a photographer who posted something publicly so they need to be credited

thank you for your message anon!! 💝✨ and thank you for reading my silly long tags!! I love to ramble in there! 💞 ahhh, I agree!! this topic is always on my heart as I navigate what's, like, the protocol in f1blr and since I love searching for content, so more yapping & thoughts under the cut!!

When I was really active in a fandom for a musician, many pals who took photos at gigs lamented how often they saw their stuff yoinked without credit and put on twitter, pinterest, tumblr 😔 It can be hella demoralizing, especially for pro photographers who take a ton of time editing and crafting a shot 📸 so the least I can do as a mere insta searcher is link and credit!! 🔎✨ plus, then folks can go check out a photographer's other work! (also thank you for your ask since two of the posts this morning didn't have the instas in the source part, just the name!! Gotta go add those!) the only time I hesitate is when I want to be mindful of someone's privacy 😶‍🌫️ I only share publicly available content, but there's a bit of nervousness if its a smaller, personal instagram account that I'll put this poor person on the spot on tumblr dot org dot net just for happening to having a hot Max selfie in the RBR HQ location tag ahhhhhhhh I probs should get over this worry and add the account name for best practices tho!! 🫡 Ahhhh I always worry tho! Also I love crate digging in insta, like searching up old hashtags & finding fan accounts that haven't been updated since 2017! My thanks out to the universe for them since there are so many insta stories that would be lost if not archived!! 🌌💝 but for some of the older content and fan selfies from these accounts that I can't reverse image search or figure out, I usually put them in a collage (and I like to crop out fans for privacy from these older selfies) I'm always tempted just to blast photos on here, but I like to take time to credit/source/date things & to make it meaningful for lovely folks following this blog 🥺 Sorry, this is so long!!!!!!!! But content and crediting on the web is always on my noggin, especially as a blog that kinda is all about these sweet, sweet jpegs of millionaires. And this is all a lot of mental haranguing for photo posts that will get 5 notes!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂‍↕️✨ hehehe, maybe its the ex Catholic in me thats guilty having fun at every turn! Or as a history major who loves the search and the citing. And as a part of the web, I wanna do my part to keep it nice. Also, tmi, but I fear I'll do something wrong on in the tumblr space, like a faux pas? I do see other tumblrs with like mega popular posts with 500+ notes that have no source, no date, no context. If f1blr is kinda a closed ecosystem 🌲🌱🖼️🌳🌿 of just admiring these motorsports stars, then that's one thing (like, gosh, I miss having a discord server where I could just drop fun finds and everyone was so nice about it!! but I've seen how stuff can travel after posting on the web! Like, surely other folks would've found that Max air hockey vid back during the Austin GP [especially if they were also nosily keeping up with that car club all weekend that posted the party hehe] but I remember coming here, not seeing it, and posting! to putting on tumblr, anything can go to twitter and tik tok etc. suddenly, a photo/vid has an unsourced life of its own. as much as I see this as tagging geese here on sainz100, posting photos that aren't mine comes with concerns) and like..sometimes I think maybe I shouldn't share here, too. I get so stressed sometimes, and its of course easier to have my private dragon's horde of pngs. But it makes me so happy to find something that resonates with folks. I just have to accept that I can only do my best & it's not up to me if someone yoinks from here to share elsewhere sans credit.

Tbh, at the end of the day for this blog, I just want to go "wow this special guy sure is neat! Love imagining him in situations and thinking about his tiddies 🥰 shoutout this photo fr" (also the search is half the fun for me so yeah!!) Folks sharing here on tumblr for blorbo admiration and contemplation and kind jesting and commiserating and hoping & rooting for ahhh it is so fun!! ❤️ And as best as possible I want to share who took these lovely pics so we continue to be gifted more blorbo fodder for years to come (ahhhhhhh if I think too long about f1 fangirling in 20+ years I'll think of dad bod Carlos and get too flustered to function 😵‍💫❤️✨ hehe! Hot!!!!!!!!!!!) anyways!! Tldr I agree!!!!
