If you were pretty online between 2013 and 2018, first of all, I’m sorry, second of all, you are most likely familiar with the somewhat hard-to-define sire called Tumblr. Part interactive blog, a repository for creative works, and a safe haven for fandoms, its influence can still be felt across various internet spaces to this day. 

The Worst of Tumblr” Facebook page actually goes above and beyond its name and shares hilarious and random posts as well. Below you will find a collection that should be entertaining and a bit unhinged, regardless of your taste, so remember to upvote your favorites as you scroll through and comment your thoughts below. 

More info: Facebook

Part of the appeal of Tumblr was its key differences with other social media. Instead of focusing on the individual person, the focus revolved around fandoms, art, memes, and discussions. One’s personality plays a part in what one creates, but the anonymity did allow for more freeform content. 

It’s not surprising that many artists, actors, and musicians all had Tumblr accounts at some point, before, during, and after fame. Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and even Ryan Reynolds have and perhaps still are allegedly Tumblr users. While one does not have to stay anonymous on Tumblr, it no doubt adds to the appeal.

While still quite popular, or at least recognizable, Tumblr is still a pretty niche platform compared to giants like Twitter or Facebook. While this might mean less revenue for its owners, the flip side is more focused content and a more consistent demographic. The vast majority of its users were teens and college students, with at least half of its active user base being younger than 25

If he doesn't, I remind him. After 30 years together (26 married), his memory isn't what it used to be! 😁

You are correct. My husband and I have been married for 40 years, and we tell each other that we love the other every day. Our belief is that you aren't promised tomorrow, so we need to say it today.

I tell my husband several times a day, too! I’ve asked him if he finds it annoying, but he said he loves it. I think if he’d said it was annoying, I’d just say it under breath, maybe just loud enough that he could barely hear…I sound psycho, don’t I?

I say it every day. What if one day I didn’t and he died that day? No. It’s an ingrained habit that I never intend to break, no matter how angry I might be at him that moment. It’s a funny thing about marriage. You can love the other person with a heart and a half, but right at this moment hate their guts. You get over the latter pretty quickly. You ALWAYS feel the former, even if it’s momentarily buried underneath the latter.

I do it several times a day, I am a really annoying person like that. Fortunately my partner really likes it and does it too. But I can't help it, I just feel so happy everytime I see him, and I hate feeling enthousiastic about something and not saying it out loud. I do it with music too, I will say a million times how much I love a song.

I end conversations with those I love by saying I love you. I had a close friend who was in the very last days of her life due to cancer. She had asked to speak to me even though she was just about slipping in and out of consciousness. We spoke on the phone for a couple of minutes as it was such an effort for her. We said goodbye and I told her I loved her, just as I always did when we spoke. She died the next day. The only thing that helped as I grieved her was that I knew she died knowing I loved her. I learnt how important it is to tell those you love that you love them, For them and for yourself.

15yrs together. Live together. Not married. We always say: I love u 2 one another B4 hanging up on the phone. No matter how many times a day we talk to each other. It doesn't always come off 💯- but we do it- IT'S part of our routine. Bc u never know where ur day will end up. Same with my Fam. We live in diff states. Even tho it may sound "routine-ish"- if anything should happen to me- I will know I'm ALWAYS LOVED. & if ANYTHING happened to my bf or Fam.... their last words from me- will be: I LOVE YOU. AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS! ALWAYS SAY I LOVE YOU- Never know when it will be YOUR LAST. *HUGS to ALL*

Eh, my ex-husband said this to me the entire time he was cheating. What they do is more important than what they say. I'm super happy to be single. Dating is fun and efficient because when they're s****y or phoning it in, you dump them. I have my own everything and don't need them for anything but companionship. It's been interesting to track how long a man can make an effort.

Unlike many other social networking sites, Tumblr users are surprisingly prolific, as many do make their own content. In 2019, there would be over 21 million posts made a day, despite only approximately 30 million active users at that time. Compared to Facebook or Instagram, where the majority of users almost never post anything, it’s still a vibrant community, if somewhat reduced over the last few years.

This reduction in content and usage came about in 2018 when adult content was banned in an attempt to make the platform more marketable. This, predictably, backfired, as more adult-style content was quite popular. The anonymity and relative freedom of content originally made Tumblr a haven for people exploring their sexuality and researching others’ experiences. 

While many assume that the rapid reduction in usage following the adult content ban indicated that much of Tumblr content was not for children, statistically, only approximately 22% of its traffic was specifically for this sort of content. Many left the platform in protest, not so much because they needed it for adult content, but because they did not like the direction it was going.

My BFF from HS lives over an hour away (more if there is traffic-Houston). When my kids were little, she always came to my house to visit. She married later in life and had 1 kid. Now I try to go visit her when her schedule allows. And that's why we've been BFFs for 42 years and counting.
