Texts from Hillary just won the “Tumblr of the Year” at the Shorty Awards. Props to Stacy and Adam!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH OF COURSE THEY DID.
Ahmazing. Stacy looks like an 1950’s movie star with that hair. Clarke Gable.
Ahhh! So proud. Congratulations, Stacy!
Tumblr Crushes:
I would approve of spending the 4th of July with any of these people. Follow them!
Omg, Stacy!

Hi! Remember me? At the end of last year I led a successful campaign to get you guys to follow me. I don’t need to re-hash that tale. You know it already. Apparently you even love telling about it.
That campaign was not successful without the help of some lovely fellow tumblrers. Namely imwithkanye, who screencapped my post, the one that got your attention, that you eventually reblogged and caused you to follow me.
You have now reblogged imwithkanye multiple times, including today! The sad thing is: you don’t follow him. I think this is a major oversight on your part.
He would never tell you this. You see some people (imwithkanye, I’m assuming) are above begging. I, on the other hand, am not.
Some might say this appeal is me taking this Obama thing just a little too far. You already follow me so how dare I go out of my way to get you to start following my friends? I get that. But here’s the thing: I did not get here today, on tumblr, being followed by the President’s social media team without a little help from my friends.
Which is why I think you’ll understand when I ask: Will you please follow imwithkanye?
First of all, thank you so much! Second, I would love to recommend some blogs. Though I have to admit, doing so is as painful as choosing a favorite child.
Here are a few off the top of my head. This is in no way an exhaustive list. Many of these are not solely political blogs, but they certainly post a fair share of political things.
You should vote for ImWithKanye for a Shorty Award, just kidding ImWithKanye doesn’t deserve any awards, just kidding. It deserves all the awards. All the awards including the Oscar, just kidding, an Oscar and a Grammy and then, it will go for an EGOT, just kidding. But I’m not kidding. ImWithKanye wants to be like GOOP and pull a Gwyneth, just kidding. Gwyneth Paltrow wants to pull an ImWithKanye, just kidding. I’m ImWithKanye and not even sure what pulling one is, just kidding, it’s like pulling a red wagon down Sesame Street, just kidding, I don’t even know how to get to Sesame Street, no I’m not kidding. I got lost when Big Bird gave me directions – that bitch, just kidding, it was Elmo. He was like hey, giggle, giggle and we laughed and laughed, just kidding. I cried, just kidding. I sobbed, just kidding. The last time I cried was when I watched a Beautiful Mind, just kidding, it was 5 minutes ago when I found out no one nominated me for a Shorty Award, just kidding. I am still crying now – does anyone have a tissue? Just kidding, I don’t use tissues, I use my sleeves, just kidding, I don’t have any sleeves, just kidding, I don’t have any arms. AHHH, I’m a monster!!!!! Just kidding, monsters aren’t real, just kidding, they are real – I slayed one last night, just kidding, it was two nights ago during the full moon. Just kidding, that’s the Brandy album I was listening to, just kidding, no one listens to Brandy, just kidding, I don’t even know who Brandy is. No, I’m not kidding, is she one of the girls from TLC? Just kidding, I know TLC – I am one of the band members, just kidding, I can’t sing, just kidding, I can totally sing. La-la-LA-LA-LA, just kidding, I totally won a Grammy for that performance. Just kidding, it was actually a Shorty Award, just kidding because no one voted for me. Just kidding, I voted for me, just kidding, I didn’t vote for me, I voted for ShortFormBlog, just kidding I voted for -SaturdayNightLive. No, I’m not kidding – just kidding, I kid. But seriously though, vote for ShortFormBlog or I will lock myself in the bathroom, just kidding, I’m already in the bathroom. Just kidding, I don’t poop. I’m kidding, just kidding. Vote for ShortFormBlog and -SaturdayNightLive too. [image]
Vote for imwithkanye. Because imwithkanye screen-capped the post that was eventually reblogged by the Obama tumblrers that successfully ended my hours-long campaign to get Barack Obama to follow me.
And because he’s awesome. As you can see.
To quote zainyk, “I want my ‘I voted for imwithkanye’ sticker.”
One of Buzzfeed’s 90 Best Tumblr Blogs of 2011 called me “quite the blog.” Y’all, I’m framing this for the fridge.
Thank you so much! You have quite the blog yourself! I should have been following a long time ago.
