Tumblr declares war on the internet’s identity crisis
What’s a profile if it looks like everybody else’s?

If you’re interested in going behind the scenes of the battle for net neutrality, MSNBC made a swell little documentary about it, and it stars us nerds on staff.
Thanks again, all of you, for making all those phone calls, and making this thing happen.
Love this so hard.
Ellis Hamburger talks to Tumblr’s Peter Vidani:
Nice picture, Peter.
But are we the things we share? That’s a big question. In real life, that could hold up. These are the clothes I’m wearing, these are the things I want to talk about, here’s what I’ve done lately. It might be more chaotic than a chronological timeline on a page, but it’s not far from what we’re trying to do here. I don’t think anyone can create a new de facto way to represent identity, but we can get closer and closer to how we’re getting along in real life.
My bf is really handsome.
That Peter, always plotting something.
Today in Updates:
Very happy to announce that I work here now (trust me, this was a tough one to keep to myself for the past few weeks). I’m beyond thrilled to join the Tumblr team as their resident Communications girl. Drop me a line and say hello!
It’s amazing how much six years feels like just yesterday and a lifetime ago, simultaneously.
In 2011, we were a whopping 25 people (which, coincidentally is the median age of both David and I at that time); an entire company that could fit (sort of) comfortably into one small conference room, count ¾ of its female employees on six feet, and offsite together in one house.
Now, we’re hundreds of people across multiple offices, about to go through an acquisition (again!) and I’m certainly no longer 26. So, while I wouldn’t change the last six years for anything, I know in my heart that it’s time for me to move on to the next adventure.
It’s impossible to sum up six plus years in one sappy tumblr post, so here are some of the greatest hits:
- Helped save net neutrality for a minute there.
- Found a new passion in mental health reform.
- Rallied for Planned Parenthood.
- Fought the good fight.
- Raised over $318k for Hurricane Sandy relief with HONY.
- Brought Tumblr to the White House.
- Helped throw a yacht party, a gutter bar party, a pool party, a rally, a warehouse party, a gif festival, and put a tumblr ice cream truck in Times Square. Sadly, I never got the branded tiny train that I dreamt of for a couple years.
- Rang the opening bell with a hundred or so of my favorite people
- Cannes, SXSW, WHCD, Art Basel, NYFW, DLD, Web Summit, Advertising Week, etc. repeat.
- Spontaneously presented at least one award. Helped win a couple too.
- Watched the NYT Business Section turn blue
- Co-authored a wildly successful seasonal tumblr (hi, dad)
- Co-authored a not-so-successful tumblr (hi Lee, Amanda, DCH, Sima, Brant, Danielle)
- So many interviews, profiles, videos, photo shoots, articles, and at least one guest starring moment on the set of Colbert.
- Traveled the world talking Tumblr, from London to Australia, and a lot of places in between.
- Ruined my google image search results (for a good cause)
- Made some fucking amazing
and strangebest friends. - Took my dad to the White House and had a meeting in 10 Downing. Spent my birthday with the Mayor.
- Posed for an accidental mother/daughter photo shoot with Annie and some other slightly more flattering stuff
- Looked at my phone a lot.
- Essentially lived inside the most creative part of the Internet, with the most passionate users. It’s pretty cozy.
- Had the pleasure of working every day with the best. damn. team. out. there. I have learned so much from them, and so much about myself through them. I can’t wait to one day work for each of them, if they’ll have me. As anyone who has seen me spontaneously crying over the last two weeks knows, they are hard to leave.
Thank you, Tumblr, for an incredible six years. It’s been a dream.
(One last time) Fuck Yeah!
