Tumblr Support enjoyed a Star Wars- and race car-themed Tumblr Tuesday outing to G Force Karts, where we played laser tag, raced go karts, & enjoyed some craft beer!
Berny won both his go kart races AND the individual laser tag game, Matt won his rounds of go kart races, and Jim led the red team to victory when we played a teams round of laser tag. Afterward we relaxed with an awesome dinner at Kitchen 64. Fun was had by all!

Tess captured some awesome moments from the July Edition of Tumblr Tuesday!
The weather in Richmond has been hot. Thankfully, this week has cooled a bit and our comfort was increased by downing icy margaritas after enjoying an air conditioned theater all our own for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Even Dominic, who now works in the Tumblr NY office, joined in. I’m certain he visited VA just to come to our Tumblr Tuesday (sorry, NYers)! It was great to all hang out together, especially because we celebrated June’s Tumblr Tuesday in two separate groups.
Many thanks to the Byrd Theatre and Don’t Look Back for your hospitality! We had a wonderful time, thanks to you.
Leah Taub, Tumblr user and street performer extraordinaire, visited the Tumblr Richmond office! We had a wonderful time hearing stories of her travels around the US while busking this summer, and she was kind enough to play a couple of songs for us!
A peek into our office… We have a few meeting places, as well as a number of prints and original works of art.
In this particular corner, we have work by Seth Ganz and Deniz Ercelebi, two members of Tumblr Support!
Tumblr Support started off Summer ‘12 with an awesome outing: A Nerd Herd* Segway tour of the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond, VA.
It’s hard not to giggle constantly on a Segway. You look a little ridiculous, your coworker bffs look a little ridiculous, and you’re all learning how to maneuver something that involves some coordination. There may have been some crashing, falling, and rolling down hills backwards. Needless to say, it’s good that we can laugh at ourselves!
The Tumblr RVA office had an excellent night at The Roosevelt last night with our guest of honor, Marc LaFountain! We took over the bar for the unveiling of their new small plates and many a cocktail and beer, which were picturesque and ideal for Elixr.
T gave us a lesson on crafting the perfect daiquiri (not the slushy kind, the classic, no-flip-flop-wearing-or-crazy-straw-drinking kind!):
Combine in a shaker:
Fill completely with ice (too little ice will actually dilute the cocktail rather than cooling it) and shake just enough for the shaker to get frosty.
Pour through two strainers (yes, it’s so much better- no tiny ice shards in your drink that melt and dilute) and enjoy!
As always, we had a great time with one another, The Roosevelt staff, as well as Karri Peifer, Richmond.com food writer, who was on the scene for her latest article.
Thanks for a lovely happy hour that we stretched well into the evening!
TUMBLRVA ASSEMBLE!
We’re excited to feature the crew from Tumblr’s Department of Support in this month’s edition of Richmond Famous! It’s improv comedy inspired by the true stories of RVA celebs on October 11th at Gallery5. Don’t miss it.
Well, we’ve agreed to leave our computer screens for some laughs with the awesome folks at Richmond Comedy Coalition. Join us IRL!
What was a giant, curved and blank wall in the Tumblr Support Office is currently becoming a tribute to both the historic and modern landscape of Richmond, Virginia.
Final product soon…
Your favorite Support Team answers the universe’s most puzzling questions.
Q: If you were a Star Wars character, who would it be?
A: Mostly handsome rebels, a couple really hairy folks, and then a healthy mix of good and evil. Yep, sounds about right!
lovelyeevee234 asked:
Hello there! So I just made a community and wanted to ask a couple questions.
wip answered:
Answer: Hi there, @lovelyeevee234!
Some great questions here. Let us answer them one by one.
How will I be able to let people see my community during this beta test and in the future?
Right now, communities aren’t listed anywhere. They’re invite-only and “hidden” by design to keep the test somewhat constrained. But in the future, there will be rich discovery experiences just like we have for posts and blogs on Tumblr today! We’re building this stuff as quickly as we can.
Will the cap be removed or be severely bumped up once the beta test is done?
Our hope is to remove the cap entirely. The cap exists as a kind of bottleneck to keep our experiment limited for now, and we already expanded it from 25 to 500 per community. However, the cap could come in handy for communities managed by a small number of people—or those that actually want to be small, which we’ve heard feedback about. The most likely outcome is that the cap will become optional.
If a community acts out will there be an option to report them?
Yes, we’re building moderation features for inside communities now. We are also building moderation features for communities themselves—so they can be reported the same way posts and blogs can be reported. Communities, overall, have to adhere to the same guidelines as everything and everyone else on Tumblr.
Thank you for your questions, and keep ‘em coming folks.
