While most members of the Tumblr community praised Tumblr staff for finally taking a stand against blogs that promote self harm by banning them, the owners of these blogs lost their support platform and were forced to internalize their emotions. Bulimia, anorexia, and self harm aren't lifestyles, but mental illnesses, and with mental illnesses, support groups are vital to recovery. The banning of their blogs inevitably only exacerbated their sickness and if Tumblr banning the blogs created more…

I got this idea for the creative response from some pictures I saw on a website called Tumblr. I saw a picture of someone creating art in a book and I thought i’d give it a go. I did plenty of research to ensure the creative task was accurate and relevant to the 1980s. This includes doing extensive research in finding out what the social values were at the time and the opinions of people at the time, especially young people. Also, because my main chosen topic to focus on is music, I did lots of…

Compare Contrast ICTs: Tumblr and Instagram Tumblr and Instagram are two widely known social media outputs. And because of the fact that they are both information and communication technologies, it brings up the fact of freedom of expression.

In response to this article, I will do my best, to react in a respectful manner, bearing in mind that everyone is entitled to express their own opinions weather or…

Being the curious 13-year-old girl I was made me want to try it. I made a Tumblr account after I finished reading her email. At first, I did not know how to work it. So I just shot the whole idea down. I told her that it was stupid and we argued about if . it was asinine or not. Then she gave me a list of people to follow. She explained to me the concept of “Tumblr famous” people. She told me, “Tumblr is not foolish. You are the one that does not know how to work it. You probably follow the…

Known as “America’s Diner”, Denny’s is perhaps best known for their round-the-clock breakfast service, wholesome image, and commitment to diversity. Even their official Facebook page illustrates this portrayal with its formal language, warm photography, and frequent charitable events. However, if one was to look at their other forms of social media, namely their Tumblr page, there would be an entirely different reading of their brand status. It is on their Tumblr where Denny’s posts humorous…

Over the past couple years, I have started to become the person I have always wanted to be, i.e. straightedge and pop punk. Through the use of the medium, Tumblr, I was able to get a tighter grasp on what I believe in and enjoy. Seeing all my friends in high school start drinking and smoking at a young age made me hate drugs and alcohol even more. I never really fit in with the crowd because I did not go to parties and get wasted. All of my friends thought I was a lame or “prude” because I did…
