Yesterday Shane of laughingatmynightmare fame let me interview him at Tumblr HQ. I look so serious but inside I am fangirling. So exciting to watch LAMN explode from our favorite tumblr to a nonprofit and as of this week, a book. We’re so happy for you, Shane!

This summer, The New York Public Library is celebrating the excitement and personal joy of reading with the #ireadeverywhere campaign. My contribution comes to you live from the Tumblr HQ ping pong table. Where are you reading this month? Show the world and use the #ireadeverywhere tag!

Thanks Ann Taylor for the lovely feature and for designing the only sweatshirt I’ve ever loved.
On Monday morning, my friends and I packed up and headed east to the BIG APPLE for a visit to Tumblr’s office! They had invited me to come meet some of their team and discuss my “social media strategy.”
During the two-hour car ride, which was largely uneventful, Lily and Pat made a bet about...
Thanks for coming to visit, Shane!
Throwback Thursday — Tumblr HQ Tour from 2011:
Fast Company (fastcompany) recently named Tumblr HQ the best office in New York City. In 2011, TechCrunch Cribs created a 10-minute video of Tumblr HQ, featuring two Tumblr tour guides — current communications director Katherine Barna (alittlespace) and former engineering vice president Matt Hackett (matthew). Plus, there’s a cameo by Tumblr’s former editorial extraordinaire Christopher Price (topherchris).
Aghhhh talk about a blast from the past.
Wow Wow Wow, this video has everything:
Throwback to August 3, 2011, when Mayor Bloomberg stopped by Tumblr HQ to meet what was at that time practically the entire company (and celebrate my birthday, though I don’t think he knew that).
This is totally the happiest panel ever. Welcoming statedept’s thetechgirlsblog to visit tumblr HQ!

I can’t tell you how long my mom has been waiting to meet you, Tommy.
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:
Thank you, Tumblr, for an incredible six years. It’s been a dream.
(One last time) Fuck Yeah!

I don’t think I have anything to add that would be 1/1,000,000th as impactful as the stories women have been sharing this week. But please count me as one man standing with you in this fight.
Today I made a $1 million donation to Planned Parenthood. I urge more men to speak up and contribute. Women don’t get pregnant alone, and we owe them much more than our silent support in the political fight ahead.
If you can, please donate here. Either way, you can take action across the country, online or in person.
