romanticizing your life is such a powerful tool and it’s a shame that it’s mostly used by people on tiktok to justify the purchase of expensive breakfast smoothies when there are few better ways to force oneself through unpleasant shit than imagining a cinematic backstory for your extremely quotidian suffering

As public schools across the country increasingly face budget shortfalls, educators like Patricia Harper, a fifth-grade teacher in Baltimore, have reportedly found it more necessary than ever to provide their own salaries. “I’m committed to coming into this classroom every day and helping my students learn, but in order to do this, I’m now required to dip into my own pocket to cover my annual income,” said the 10-year veteran of Baltimore City Public Schools, a district with more than 5,000 teachers who together would need to come up with an estimated $340 million to meet their annual salary requirements.

TUMBLR SURVEY!!!

Hello!

I’m a Tumblr user studying Tumblr. My research team at Rutgers University’s School of Communication and Information is conducting a study about Tumblr, specifically, “Perceptions and Practices of Returning to Tumblr.” We’re looking at why younger people are coming back or joining Tumblr and generally using other “older” technologies, as compared to TikTok or Instagram.

We’re looking for interview participants, so if you’re interested in being interviewed, are Gen Z (born in or after 1997) and have recently started using Tumblr and/or returned to it, please reach out!! They’ll be virtual interviews with flexible timings to discuss your experiences on Tumblr, your thoughts about today’s tech culture, and the return to older technologies.

You’ll earn a $30 Amazon gift card after the interview. If you’re interested, please fill out this survey https://tinyurl.com/returning-tumblr and feel free to DM me on Tumblr (@for-the-research) or here if you have any questions. 

Thank you for your interest in participating in our project! Please answer the questions below to help us to get to know you better and guid
