I have been trying to get a response from Meaghan via email since last Wednesday to no avail regarding a corporate Tumblr. I even went to the Tumblr event on Friday but couldn’t find a reasonable moment at the...
MAGIC MOLLY: Molly's Finite Playlist →
My very favorite music is that which is:

Affiliate infuriation
marco:
I’m irrationally, disproportionally offended by affiliate marketing on the internet. Early on, when Tumblr was just three people (me, David, and Marc), we had to decide whether to allow affiliate-marketing blogs.
