Hey, Tumblr. David is out of the office this week, so we’re all acting a little bit crazy! One of us removed all the credit from a reblog, and somebody else went and posted the same funny picture twenty times in a row.
Yeah, we’re hardcore.
Lunch Bag Art
Every day, the best dad ever creates these awesome brown lunch bags for who can only be the luckiest children in the entire world. If the bags are this good, I can only imagine what kind of marvelous foods are packed inside.Homemade Polaroid
It’s rather amazing what just a few thick lines can communicate. Could they possibly tell us that we can find inspiration and beauty in everyday life? Certainly! (They also confirm that giraffes and balloons are highly underrated.)Put This On
I’m so glad that Jesse Thorn and Adam Lisagor produce a web series for men about dressing like a grownup. I mean… I have this friend… He wears nothing but stupid t-shirts. He could really use something like this. So, uh, I’ll pass it along.The Daily What
The Daily What delivers something interesting, funny, or cute with astonishing consistency. Following this Tumblr will easily fulfill 95% of all your random internet needs.Baubauhaus
This well-curated design and photography blog pulls together great content that you probably haven’t seen before. Add some art to your life.Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?
October 2007: Ruben Fleischer joins Tumblr.
October 2009: Ruben Fleischer’s major motion picture directorial debut, Zombieland, finishes out the weekend as the highest grossing movie at the box office.
The man makes good decisions. Congrats, Ruben!
The introduction to this week’s Tumblr Tuesday will be back shortly. We’re making some changes to the infrastructure of this introduction, and it may be unavailable for a few minutes. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience. Please check back soon.
The Footnotes of Mad Men
Apparently there’s this television show that at least a few hundred people watch every week about these men who are very mad. I’m still not sure what they’re so mad about. It takes place in 1960s and is set in New York City, which seems pretty nice to me. I mean, they’re not living in the Dark Ages, are they? I just can’t get behind needless anger. At least, that was until I found The Footnotes of Mad Men. Now I’m more in touch with my anger. It’s really healthy. Here: I need a fucking television! Ahh, I feel better already.What no one told you about Pakistan
Way back before the internet became whatever it is today, I thought it could usher in a new level of understanding between disparate cultures from around the globe. I thought, “hey, we’ll be able to just talk to each other, and we’ll find out that no matter our differences, we’re all just human beings.” This turned out to be one of the most naive thoughts I ever had, but Tumblr blogs like What no one told you about Pakistan are doing their best to redeem me. Good luck, peeps!Carnivorous Plants!
The exclamation mark in the title is what pushed this over the top for me. Granted, plants that freaking eat things are badass enough in their own right, but this is Tumblr Tuesday. We have high standards here. A plant that can and will eat you slowly (needs verification) is indeed so cool of a concept that I can barely keep from passing out, but I can’t shake that beautifully-used exclamation mark. These things are bloody awesome and this Tumblr user knows it.Fuck Yeah Gadgets
Gadget porn, without those pesky articles that just get in the way. There’s something ingenious about the presentation here: Photos, stark background, almost no text. I find myself looking at these gadgets as pieces of art, unconcerned with how many gigabytes this has or how much that will cost. No, what FYG is about is simply taking a step back and appreciating excellent industrial design.It’s Full of Stars
Space is freaking awesome. Your argument is invalid. More to the point: This Tumblr blog chronicles our species’ fascination with the universe at large. From the science of space exploration to artistic expressions of what we can only imagine, It’s Full of Stars covers it all. Also, space shark. Discussion over.And you? What are some other Tumblr blogs that you are loving these days?
