We met this wonderful guy last night during our Karaoke, Jason. Thank you so much Jason, we had a GREAT time! =)

Look at that top photo. I think we were the happiest people in the world last night.

Jason took these pictures with/for us on a camera (as one does) and then came back with it in a REAL LIFE PICTURE FRAME like 20 minutes later. I don’t think I’ve ever been more blown away by anything in my life than with Jason’s hospitality skills.

The guy I buy my cigarettes from and I have a pretty intense relaish in that he once asked me my name and when I asked him his he said I would never remember and he was exactly right and now I have to skirt around the issues of names whenever he asks me how I’m doing as he takes down my preferred brand without me even asking.

Today he asked how Tumblr was doing. I never told him I worked for Tumblr. I’m very pleased by this because I assume that means my same-two-pairs-of-jeans-and-red-Converse-knock-offs-from-Chinatown every day lets people know that I have a cool job in Manhattan that doesn’t make me wear a pants suit and not, as I have always assumed while walking by everyone who dresses so professionally and nice in this city, that I appear homeless at worst and a couch-surfer at best.

I really need to get more jeans, though. I am 25. I should own more than two pairs of jeans.

Hope you guys don’t mind that we’re changing our name to Instagram. Apparently.

marissamayr:

I’m delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr!

We promise not to screw it up. Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve. Yahoo! will help Tumblr get even better, faster.

Tumblr has built an amazing place to follow the world’s creators. From art to architecture, fashion to food, Tumblr hosts 105 million different blogs. With more than 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 signups every day, Tumblr is one of thefastest-growing media networks in the world. Tumblr sees 900 posts per second (!) and 24 billion minutes spent onsite each month. On mobile, more than half of Tumblr’s users are using the mobile app, and those users do an average of 7 sessions per day. Tumblr’s tremendous popularity and engagement among creators, curators and audiences of all ages brings a significant new community of users to the Yahoo! network. The combination of Tumblr+Yahoo! could grow Yahoo!’s audience by 50% to more than a billion monthly visitors, and could grow traffic by approximately 20%.

In terms of working together, Tumblr can deploy Yahoo!’s personalization technology and search infrastructure to help its users discover creators, bloggers, and content they’ll love. In turn, Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!’s media network and search experiences. The two companies will also work together to create advertising opportunities that are seamless and enhance user experience.

As I’ve said before, companies are all about people. Getting to know the Tumblr team has been really amazing. I’ve long held the view that in all things art and design, you can feel the spirit and demeanor of those who create them. That’s why it was no surprise to me that David Karp is one of the nicest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the most perceptive, capable entrepreneurs I’ve worked with. His respect for Tumblr’s community of creators is awesome, and I’m absolutely delighted to have him and his entire team join Yahoo!.

Both Tumblr and Yahoo! share a vision to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas by focusing on users, design — and building experiences that delight and inspire the world every day.

"Fuck yeah."

“Fuck yeah.”

News!

staff:

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve – certainly isn’t changing.

So what’s new? Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. The work ahead of us remains the same – and we still have a long way to go! – but with more resources to draw from.

Yahoo is the original Internet company, and Marissa and her team share our dream to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas. I couldn’t be more excited to have her help. We also share a vision for Tumblr’s business that doesn’t compromise the community and product we love. Plus both our logos end with punctuation!

As always, everything that Tumblr is, we owe to this unbelievable community. We won’t let you down.

Fuck yeah,
David

"stress" + verb

Just put “stress” before any verb & make it your therapy. Stress brunch, stress stroll around the farmers market, stress clean, stress shop, stress power walk, stress fuck, stress yawn, stress brush teeth.

What if I made my first OKCupid account and it was for someone to come over and brush my hair while feeding me chicken soup? There’s a weirdo who would totally do that in this city. There are weirdos for everything. I could pay a guy to brush my hair and give me lots of sympathy for this minor cold. I could.

Sun, 19 May 2013 01:22:00 -0400

The women in New York are so gorgeous that it bypasses the “God, I wish I looked like that” and straight into “wait, do I want to sleep with that? Am I gay now? Did that butt just make me gay?”

The other day I saw a woman who looked like Barbie and it blew my mind. I made my friend look at her. I think I might have actually just angrily said to him, while seething, “look at her! She looks like Barbie! That’s insane!”

I never even saw her face. She just had the smallest waist I’ve ever seen, a great butt and princess hair that made me want to cry.

I let a model borrow my lighter the other day. A model. There’s no way she wasn’t. Skinny and over 6 feet tall with perfect make up and hair and I’m still not sure if I fell in love with her or if I wanted to murder her, skin her cranium, and wear her decomposing facial skin over my potato of a face.
