Random bits of whatever. I will probably offend you at some point. 18+ NSFW and all that other shit.

tumblr, I need your thoughts!

I post about my research sometimes, so a lot of my followers probably know that I’m a PhD student and I somehow managed to convince my advisors that Tumblr was a reasonable thing to write my dissertation about.

My goal with this project is to get away from the constant arguments over whether or not social media is “bad” for teens by writing about the diversity of young people’s experiences in a specific context – in this case, Tumblr fandoms.

Over the next couple of months, I’m hoping to talk to around 20-30 people about their experiences with this site. If you’re between the ages of 13 and 20 and consider your Tumblr a fandom blog, send me an ask or say hi on chat if you’d be willing to share some of your thoughts.

I’ll be doing this entirely over the Tumblr chat system so you won’t need to reveal any personal information. I’ll also keep your URL private when I write about anything we talk about.

I’d also be really grateful if people could reblog this post. I’ll be posting this notice a few times to try and catch people who are online at different times of day, so sorry if you end up seeing it more than once.

I got back on tumblr for two reasons 1. Beg for money (btw please donate or reblog) 2. Tell ya'll to please for the love of god stop using "child" and "childish" and 'immature" to refer to assholes. I'm looking at you.

New favorite tumblr post of all time.

I literally do not care what you look like naked. I don’t care if you have stretch marks, a chubby tummy, or hair on your belly. I don’t care if your thighs touch. I don’t care if you forgot to shave. I literally do not care about any of those things. The only thing I care about is teasing and pleasing the fuck out of you. Ain’t no stretch mark or hair gonna stop me from hearing you scream my name. When I love you I’m loving all of you.

You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that’s all.

this is mean and terrible but it exhausts me to be around people who haven’t finished going through their pretentious asshole phase like okay holden caulfield I know we’re all helplessly suckling at the teat of modern media but can you shut up and play some goddamn mario kart for like five minutes
