// Tumblr. For a year or so in college I loved this site and then at some point, I just kind of stopped checking it. Recently though, I made a new account and am back in action. Do you have a Tumblr? I’d love to follow along!

// Feeling uninspired lately? Jenny shares this great post filled with her go-to inspirations!

// I’ve always loved spoon rings, and I’d love to make my own. For the most part, I’m too lazy to attempt something that not-easy in terms of crafts/art, but if I ever do try it – this tutorial from Caitlin at The Merrythought is perfect!

// A really important reminder from Mary that not being in a relationship does not make you wrong, or mean that you need help. Being single is not a bad thing, or something that you should apologize for.

I had a tumblr at the beginning of college but I haven’t opened it in years now! x

  That’s exactly where I was at with it! I honestly don’t know what made me even start a new one, but I tend to go there when I’m feeling mindless.

So true! I should post this on City-Data! I’ll have to check out the uninspired post. I’ve never had Tumblr, what exactly is Tumblr?

  I guess City Data isn’t what I thought it was…. Is that a social media site?
  Tumblr is another blogging system, like Blogger or WordPress. Generally though, people use it in more of a newsfeed type of way – not full length posts like what you would read here, and generally posting several times a day. It’s a lot of photos, gifs, 1-2 paragraph posts, that type of thing.

    It’s message boards and you can get data about every city in the world. I like the message boards, though… but sometimes some boards (like the relationship boards) can get out of hand. They also have blogs and photo albums. I guess it’s like an old MySpace in a way – it’s been around since 2003.
    
    Hmmm… I might have to check out Tumblr!

      Ooo so it is what I thought. I just didn’t realize there was anything about relationships on there – I just thought it was straight city-related information.

        Yes, haha. They have relationships of all sorts, writing, work/employment/unemployment, sports and a whole bunch of other topics unrelated to cities and states. It’s interesting.

It’s infinitely better to not be in a relationship than to be in a bad relationship. The absence of misery is itself happiness.

  I agree, having seen a couple of friends go through really awful relationships.

  Exactly! While I do still post a lot of feminist stuff over there, it’s also a lot of Doctor Who and kittens, so I think it’s much easier than over here. I’m heading over to add you now!

Awww thanks for including my post among these great ones! I really liked the spoon rings post! I can image those rings being a great gift for my friends who have that hipster vibe in their fashion sense. Also, my Tumblr is thrumaryseyes.tumblr.com.
