i know my followers have probably seen this link a few times but i don’t do this often — i’d really appreciate it if y'all’d click through, read my piece, and give me some feedback either here on tumblr or in the comments on the buzzfeed post.
this is my first time writing a kinda personal essay to be published on @buzzfeed, the website that i’ve worked for during the last nearly 8 years. it’s about tumblr, the social media platform i’ve been in charge of delivering content both to and from in a professional capacity for the last 5 years. tumblr also happens to be my favorite social media site and the platform that introduced me to my partner. buzzfeed is my love and tumblr is my passion — i’m lucky to have these two things intersect.
the piece in the link above is a distillation of my personal and professional thoughts about this week’s tumblr news. i very much appreciate the comments and feedback that people have given me since this essay went live.
tumblr is a wonderful platform for building online communities and i’m grateful for the kind, supportive followers i have on my personal blogs. i am equally — if not more — appreciative of the followers who’ve chosen to be a part of the @buzzfeed community i’ve helped to build here on tumblr.
thank you.
