Welcome Home... to Tumblr University

What are we?

Tumblr University, the foremost place to receive an education in fandoms, classic literature, and historic films.

Our Mission

Tumblr has had a long history (since 2007) of bringing together communities in a way that is described as 'chaotic', 'hellish', 'fanatic', 'feral', and 'gay'. At Tumblr University we seek to promote communities and discussions but with a rabies vaccine.

Discussions about literature, analysis of queer subtext, reviews of fanart and fics, and memes as a medium of expression.

Values We Hold Dear/Selected from a Dictionary

Accountability, Memes, Collaboration, Gay subtext, Intellectualism

Obligatory Statement About Diversity

We love diversity. Diversity is our most favorite thing. We are so diverse. We value different opinions.

Statement on NaNoWriMo

Hello Students,

Allow your president to get sentimental for a moment. I first started NaNoWriMo - I failed. I failed every time, but I loved it. It kept me writing. I learned more about myself each time I tried. I saw communities grow on forums. I knew one day I would succeed if I just kept trying. Then today I learned of the plethora of NaNoWriMo's controversies. From allowing AI use to (allegedly) having predators groom minors.

I am heartbroken at the loss of a yearly staple. AI users miss the most obvious reason writers write, for the love of it. We do not create purely for the purpose of creating, in order to have some item to show off as proof that we "did a thing". We write to tell stories, to foster communities, to inspire, to make people laugh or cry, to realize the fantasies in our heads.

And though NaNoWriMo has torpoed in favor of AI, the spirit of it should not die.

@novella-november is starting a writing challenge: write 30K in a month

I will also be looking to see if there's a tag for those looking to do the traditional challenge of 50K words.

Tmblr University will be supporting writing challenges in November by reblogging or posting writing tips and prompts. (As best as a 1 person attending actual school can do)

I wish everyone a successful prepping during September.

AI people: we're just as much artists as you are, you gotta be so observant and go through so many correcting phases for the picture to look good uwu also AI people:

[iloveblankpaper-deactivated2025]

if this were a hand drawn image people would be harping on about the symbolism

[qsycomplainsalot]

Yeah you know why ? Because if someone made this by hand for hours at a time, one would assume he'd have done it for a fucking reason. Meanwhile with AI we know it was completely and randomly based on the whims of a computer that doesn't and never will think like a human.

[iloveblankpaper-deactivated2025]

stfu buddy symbolism is the fucking nonsense you have to memorise alongside the rest of the poetic devices in order to write 3 paragraphs about an excerpt in an english exam, it has no place in art, and none of you fuckers will gaslight me into thinking so again

[tony-the-tigers-juicy-armpit]

This dude said symbolism has no place in art

[tmblr-university]

Official Statement from Tumblr University:

Symbolism has a place in art.

[dragonomatopoeia]

i've died on smaller hills, so i can't judge. but i do think it's funny whenever posts about the proper definition of a poor little meow meow circulate, considering none of them mention that the origin was a kpop fan's absolutely bonkers tweet about not being able to protect a full grown man who was getting backlash for including audio from the jonestown cult leader jim jones in one of his songs

[emi--rose]

I was clearly not at the devils sacrament what the fuck

[tmblr-university]

poor little meow meow

what was biden doing at the omegaverse panel

[tmblr-university]

The greatest tragedy of my life was that I did not attend this con and could not add dashcon to my lore about running this blog

[dashcon]

Exactly One year until DashCon! Can we get 2014 notes in honor of the occasion?

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

Do the best you can

If it hurts stop

Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

[tmblr-university]

Watch out for your backs and necks students!
