I've seen that post a dozen times on Tumblr, and this is the first time I put "Mike Hawk" together. Good one, Tony. Good one.

The Stole It From Tumblr Instagram account has over 5,600 hilarious posts full of interactions that might make you raise your eyebrows and start giggling uncontrollably.

The page has amassed nearly 250K followers since its creation in 2015, and it’s easy to see why.

If you were never an avid Tumblr user yourself, you might not be super familiar with the site and how it works. But it’s still thriving today, despite the fact that the platform hit its peak about a decade ago. According to Demand Sage, there are currently about 519 million blogs on Tumblr from all over the world. And every single day, 12.8 million posts are published for Tumblr users to enjoy.

When it comes to who frequents the social media platform, Tumblr reports that their users are an equal split between men and women, the majority being Gen Z and Millennials. And as far as why people hop onto the site, 60% say that they visit to find entertainment, while 12% use the platform to connect with loved ones.

If you’re wondering what the appeal of Tumblr is, compared to other social media sites, we’ll let the platform speak for itself. In fact, according to Tumblr, it’s not a social network, but rather a “mycelial network.”

“Tumblr is whatever you want it to be,” the website states. “Oh, and influencers? Don't even go here. This is your space. Every video you find, every quote you reblog, every tag you curate, every waterfall GIF you secretly gaze at in wonder—that's all you. You're the explorer. We're just a map you all keep on making. Welcome home. Welcome to weird. Make it yours.”

Yup, as a parent your most important responsibility is to unconditionally and whole heartedly love and support whatever child you get.

Because the formatting of Tumblr is different from Instagram, Facebook and other social media sites, the focus is more about the content, rather than followers and likes. In fact, you can’t even see how many followers other Tumblr users have. The website is also more customizable than most similar platforms, so users can have a unique experience rather than one dictated by a bunch of corporate suits in a multi-million dollar office somewhere.   

And if you’re not interested in using Tumblr simply to stay entertained or get some giggles into your day, you might be able to use it to practice some of your skills. Rowena Wiseman at Novlr recommends that writers use Tumblr to share snippets of their work or share details about their writing process. It can help fans stay connected if they hear more about the background of their favorite books, and they’ll be thrilled when they know that something new is coming before its actual release.

My automatic response to tripping on something is "who put that there?". Get very odd looks if it's a crack in the concrete.

Writers can also provide advice and writing tips to followers through their Tumblr blogs. And if they want to promote their own books and stories, they can create eye-catching graphics with quotes from their writing that followers can spread around the site. Authors might even want to make mood boards for characters in their books to help readers understand them better, or uplift other writers who haven’t gained a substantial following yet.

If you want to dip your toes into Tumblr but aren’t sure where to start, have no fear. There are infinite possibilities for what to create a blog about, so find something that you love! You can post recipes, photos of flowers you find while walking around your city, videos of your cats, rants about what it’s like to be a cog in the corporate machine, poetry you write while sitting on the bus, etc. The beauty of Tumblr is that you can create and share anything you want. So let your imagination run wild, and get creative!

Are you feeling inspired to create a new Tumblr account and channel your inner 2014 Tumblr girl, pandas? We hope you’re enjoying this amusing list of screenshots from Tumblr, and please keep upvoting all of your favorite pics.

Was just watching a video essay about Henry VIII marrying Anne of Cleves, and they mentioned that when he was trying to decide between Anne and her sister, he sent a portrait painter to paint both of them with specific instructions not to improve their appearance. Then when Anne showed up for the wedding and he didn't like her, he partially blamed the painter for misleading him.

I was part of the messy genre and suddenly it clicked that handwriting was an art form and my handwriting got infinitely better. I never really noticed other's handwriting, until I was older and wondered why my siblings never left the bad handwriting phase.

My handwriting (printing… let’s not even talk about cursive) is and always has been awful. But it *is* fascinating to hear from the other genre :)

I had bad handwriting through primary school. The summer before middle school, my Grand Aunt gave me a fountain pen and taught me old fashioned Parker Penmanship. I now make a few extra pennies by addressing envelopes for special occasions (like weddings) and occasional notes.

My elder son writes very poor (we used cursive in Europe) bc he is dyslectic before dyslectia was a thing. When I spoke with his teacher in his 9 yrs, she tels me ""it is stabilized handwriting of balanced person!" I had a fit of laugh. My son write so to now - he is a MD.

I always loved to write by hand. So I practiced a lot and experimented with how I wanted to shape each letter and so on. In my 20s i had a lot of pen pals and some lasted for over a decade and I wrote long letters because i felt it was a waste of postage to send letters that were fewer than 15-20 pages long. I think my record was 60-something pages for a letter. all handwritten on old school letter paper. I have also written a diary on/off since early 2000s.. and for the past 10 years or so I have obsessed about bullet journaling. I hate the cursive-ish lettering everybody showing their bujos online seem to use, though. Again, I just experiment and try this and test that.

My mother had near perfect handwriting (she's still around but her eyesight isn't what it was) and my father had some of the worst I've seen. He somehow even had bad handwriting when he typed. I'm probably 80 him/20 her

I've been paid to address envelopes due to nice cursive. I've also been asked to address wedding invitations. So, yes..I do have nice cursive. (not bragging) I used to practice by copying boxes of chocolate since their print is always so pretty

I had a teacher who told me I wouldn't do good in college bc of my handwriting. Jokes on her. By the time I got to college we had these things called computers. And- I'm a doctor. I was destined for bad handwriting.

I hope you corrected your teacher by telling her that it's 'wouldn't do well', not 'wouldn't do good'.

Oh! I read about this somewhere. In most cases (not all) girls develop fine motor skills around 5-6 years old, while boys develop them later. So boys physically cannot make the small movements needed for neat handwriting until they are older, but by then, they've gotten used to the way they write.

This is also why many men in the older generations preferred writing in capital letters, easier "block" motions instead of loops.

Agreed. Nice firm grapes are the best. Bonus points if they come off the stems really easily without leaving little bits of stem attached, so you can just grab like three grapes at once and drop them in your bowl
