Eunice Shreeves (I think that's her in the front row, center) founded The Girl Friends in 1927 as a way to stay in touch with her friends from Cheyney Normal School for Teachers. She invited them to tea at her home in Harlem, where they chose their name from a popular song of the time. They committed themselves to lasting friendship and service, grounded in graciousness and conviviality. Under the legal guidance of Baltimore Boy Friend Thurgood Marshall, The Girl Friends was incorporated in 1938. Today, there are 49 chapters across the country with more than 2,000 members. It's one of the oldest African-American women's social organizations.

Marlon Brando on being considered the greatest ever actor

[sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog]

I have 100,000 followers on here (i know; tumblr power user jmg) and i think it gives me, like, zero social capital? Which I think might be why it's still good.

Like, when my agents are pitching me for something, they'll be like, "Look at his facebook! Look at his tiktok!" They're never gonna say, "100,000 people follow him on tumblr. Remember tumblr?"

But the thing is, I don't actually use facebook or tiktok (except for promo). This is the only place I use, the only place where I'm interested in the community and shared creation and all that shit.

So long live tumblr. Nobody who's gonna hire me to do anything has ever heard of it. It makes for a terrible space to promote your forthcoming book tour. And that's literally why it doesn't suck.
