I don't understand why entire statements come after octothorpes. I get hashtagging stuff and how it might help with organization, but I don't understand why whole sentences.

I'm not trying to be pretentious or "dang young people," I just sincerely don't understand.

Other than that I enjoyed the post.

It's a tumbler thing, iirc it's the only way to add your own text when reposting.
