logging off from @staff

Last year, after 10 wonderful, chaotic, meme-orable (sorry) years on @staff, I logged off from my role as tumblr's head of @entertainment (but I'll never log off of main!). Last week, we released our 50th and final (for now!) episode of @dashboarddiaries. I truly can't believe how quickly the time went.

It was an immense privilege to spend so many years collaborating with the countless coworkers, partners, and community members who make this hellsite (affectionate) a hellhome(site).

Tumblr was much more than a job. I grew up on tumblr, and I grew up at tumblr. 

Sitting in my college dorm in 2012, making a collage of outfit inspo photos on a Word document (as one does), who knew that my perplexed roommate @neshat asking, “uh, have you heard of tumblr?” would change the course of my life.

Two years and tens of thousands of reblogs later, I somehow landed an internship on the content & community team and – after sharing thousands of officially sanctioned shitposts, working on hundreds of campaigns, and making dozens of new friends (and getting a couple of concussions (unrelated to work)) – I can confidently say that joining tumblr was one of the best decisions that I've ever made (and that this is perhaps the longest sentence that I've ever written).

Summing up the past years in a post feels impossible, but here’s a little scroll down meme-ory (too much?) lane.

Note: this is not how I got one of the concussions

For the full experience, please listen to the below while you scroll.

Obligatory @david seflie from 2014.

Launching @mishacollins' tumblr with a @gish scavenger hunt during a Supernatural convention... and breaking tumblr.

Bringing community questions everywhere from to @nasa astronauts on the International Space Station, to @televisionacad nominees at the Emmys with Answer Time.

Witnessing Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone unintentionally reenact the @twilight fan art I made in high school sculpture class.

Ricky Whittle attempting to teach me how to dance.

Sweating so much during the @primevideo Saltburn interview that Emerald Fennell compared me to a glazed donut.

Discussing my talent for concussions with @rejectedjokes.

Developing Tumblr Top 5 with the incredible team at @wearewatcher, and resurrecting Coppy in the process.

Having a wee tumblr tea party with the cast of @netflix's Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

And so so much more, so I've also queued up some posts and reblogs from over the years. Here's a song to accompany that experience.

More to come very soon, and in the meantime you can find me haunting a dashboard near you.

I love you all, I had a ball(pit), and I’ll see you on the internet 🫶

It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean

Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo, a coconut is a mammal.

If wind resistance didn’t exist, speed hopping would be a real thing and skipping would be more effective than running.

when your pet comes to you from another room, the preceding moments meant that they were alone somewhere and thought about YOU, an animal brain literally thought about you and came to you to see what you were doing. that’s love, unconditional.
