Description
This book explores the diverse cultures and communities that make up the Tumblr social media platform. Despite its relatively low profile compared to other major social media sites, Tumblr has had a significant impact on popular culture, particularly among progressive youth.
Through essays and artwork, this volume examines various aspects of Tumblr, including fandom, platform design, identity issues such as race, gender, and sexuality, aesthetics, disability, mental health, and online privacy. It provides valuable insights into the ways in which Tumblr has shaped the experiences of a generation that is now influencing mass culture and politics.
