SUNNYVALE, CA - Finally overcoming competition from the likes of Google, Microsoft, and AOL, internet corporation Yahoo firmly re-secured its place as an industry leader after Sundays purchase of millions of blogs written by 13-year-old girls.
So I have the pleasure and privilege of working with some of the most talented people I’ve known, so when any of them display signs of self-doubt or sadness I get rather confused, because I don’t comprehend how they simply can’t see
how truly great they are.
I’m sorry if you’ve sent me a message recently and I didn’t respond. I’ve gotten a promotion within Tumblr that requires moving to New York in a pretty quick timeframe, and working out the logistics of that has taken a lot of my time recently.
Richmond is a wonderful city, and exactly what I needed when I turned 18 and moved out of rural Virginia. But it’s easy to conflate comfort with contentment, and what I need now isn’t going to be found here.
There are points in a person’s life when, in order to reach that next big thing, you’ve got to make a leap. The path you’re on hits a gap, and there’s a real danger of falling. I’ve attempted those leaps in the past, and still have the injuries to show for it.
But the biggest mistake one can make is to never try again. So here’s to Richmond, to New York, to risks, and to living.
Every. Day.
Welcome Guest Editors: Inothernews & Hipster Libertarian
Today, Tumblr’s official Election blog pivots into a new phase of the 2012 election cycle, and with that maneuver comes other changes. Many, many appreciative thanks to our convention bloggers — Aminatou Sow, Bobby Finger, Jason Oberholtzer, Jayel Aheram, Meg Lanker-Simons, and Tag Savage. Stellar work all, and we’ll see you in four years.
Though it began with the conventions, the Election blog will now expand to cover all (principally national) races and related political news and commentary. To aid in this effort, the blog will feature a rotating cast of weekly guest editors selected from the Tumblr community. These guest editors will come in pairs, and we’ll do our best to recruit a broad diversity of perspectives, opinions, biases, backgrounds, styles, notoriety, and experience.
To that end, please welcome our inaugural guest editor duo: Inothernews and The Hipster Libertarian. The Election blog’s ask box and submission box remain open for business, so feel free to hit them (and us) with questions and suggestions anytime. Let’s make with the electioneering.
Hey-o! So proud to be part of this! First post coming soon!
