OK, Tumblr. You know what to do. Follow the link and tell The Fix what’s the best Tumblr political blog out there.
Threw a few suggestions on here, suggest you do the same. Tell The Fix that it’s not all just memes! :)
At TIME.com, we’re working on a guide to the best Tumblrs out there. But we want to know what you think first.
What Tumblr can’t you live without? (Aside from ours, of course.) Whether it’s news, photography, design or just cat videos, we want to know what you follow — and why.
Reply to this post (and include the URL) with your picks. We’ll mark popular suggestions as “Readers’ Choice” in our final list, which should come out by the end of January.
We’d like to nominate Hipstamaticat, ilovecharts, rappersdoingnormalshit, cheatsheet (our sibling blawg) and shortformblog. (But that’s hardly a complete list! We love you all! Really!)
We love you Newsweek, thank you! Also, we give an emphatic cosign to shortformblog - they are my favorite news bloggy type tumblr. I’d like to add (off the top of my head) youmightfindyourself, motherjones, world-shaker, theyuniversity and casperthefriendlyshibainu (I love that dog, deal with it) to the list.
Help out TIME with their list! And if you mention us I won’t get mad, I promise.
Thanks to both of you! On top of both of these guys, our picks: Newsflick, inothernews, Buzzfeed, Pantsless Progressive, joshsternberg and imwithkanye.
Edit: More picks! Aheram, Brooklyn Mutt, kohenari, thenoobyorker, mohandasghandi, thepoliticalnotebook, kateoplis and the newly-hired producermatthew.
Think we’re cool too? Throw Time Magazine a nudge via reblog! And let us know your picks!
The Best Tumblrs We’ve Ever Seen, This Year
Look I made a list! It was so much fun, I think I’ll start doing it once a week in 2012. The general gist:
Tumblr — land of teenage girls photographing their outfits in a mirror, home of the instant meme, and world of very, very pretty photographs of all things loved by hipsters — is a pretty fun place. The micro-blogging network will turn five next year, and 2011 saw its big shift from the adolescent edge of relevance to a global social media powerhouse.
Great list, with many of our favorites included.
