this tumblr

I don’t like to brag about this Tumblr too much but I think we can all agree that one of the good things about it is that, when you come here, the Tumblr doesn’t start showing you hockey highlights in a window in the top right of your screen as if, 1) you could actually derive any enjoyment from watching a hockey player a quarter of an inch tall score a goal and, 2) that your internet connection is good enough to keep the little hockey players moving. This Tumblr knows that some of you live in Moscow or other parts of the former Soviet Union or in fact in Brooklyn and that you steal your internet from your neighbors.

I’m not saying that makes this the best Tumblr in the world but I think it’s a start.
