now that everyone from twitter has joined tumblr overnight, it’s time to lay a couple ground rules:
1. it’s not called a “retweet”, it’s called a “reblog”, but if you’re REALLY cool, you refer to it as a “rebagel”
2. if someone has fewer followers than you, it is totally fair to call them “irrelevant”, but it is actually more stinging to call them “irrelephant”
3. if you see someone irl that you think might have a tumblr, you’re supposed to say “i like your shoe laces”. the correct response, which any true tumblrite would know by heart, is “thanks, i stole them from the president”
4. there is a particular phenomenon that happens after 12am EST called “nightblogging”, and everything after this point is the fault of the australians
hey. the celebrities and corporations are growing to try tumblr. you may want to drive them off the site, or find them amusing, ie “well THIS one can stay.” they may try to engage with the culture. they may do their research. DO NOT ENGAGE. do not bother. don’t fucking acknowledge them. don’t mess with their heads. don’t reply to them as a bit. let them think this site is a lost cause. let them fizzle out and die
