Nice to see us in Tech President’s Tech Politics Timeline…
Thank you, internet for the Webby.
Tumblr won a Webby. And they created a Tumblr to tell us all thanks.
Spreading the love. Y’all are awesome.

Where my girls at? OH THERE THEY ARE REPPING TECH IN THE NY TIMES.
Turns out reporters like visiting Tumblr HQ when I’m in town (don’t tell the NYT that I live in LA). But no one reminded me to sit up straight!
The Fix on WaPo picks "the best political Tumblrs"
From Chris Cillizza, author of The Fix:
“Our full list — generated entirely from reader submissions — is below. If you are looking for a good place to start, check out the politics tag on Tumblr and the Tumblr politics spotlight. Both make for good entrance points into the still-newish world of political Tumblrs.

Kudos to Chris for educating himself. This is a great start, albeit pretty meme-heavy. I love a good political meme as much as the next guy, but the “serious” content on Tumblr is equally important. What would you add to this list??

We can now confirm that (1) David Karp will be in attendance (2) Guest of a Guest will be there taking pictures (3) DJ Greenie will be on the ones and twos, or whatever you kids say these days.
Wish I could be there!!
A poem (made of Tumblr user names from the dash)
Assembled on request for nomoretexasgovernersforpresident. Made of Tumblr user names from the dash.
left my give-a-damns at the door.
no time to shine my rusty halo,
he’s in there because of me.
decomposing classroom, brainwashing and drying.
locked up letters,
wicked pencils,
disorganized robots teaching literacy.
fu*kk this sh*t.
no -
more -
texas -
governors-
for president.
the veins of you ignorant oracles!
stupidity kills!
the inquisitive wanderer falling as the world falls down,
million dollar minds, cure for crimes,
more than lost,
no tomorrow.
i found the sound struggling to be heard,
every word she says in need of cadence.
we are not ok!
pull-out! let me be great!twenty thousand streets under the sky,
pale girl in the city, dark silence in suburbia.
in the fading light,
private revolution with roots above.
degenerate royalty, born in the fall,
not the hero type,
her calculated grace
twice as bold.
um, AMAZING
