WSJ reports Yahoo board has approved a $1.1 billion deal — in cash — to purchase Tumblr.
There it is.
it’s the beginning of the end
Ugh. So does anyone have a place where we can migrate too once Tumblr starts going down the shitter?
No matter how hard they try to come off as though money isn’t an issue as Karp did in the beginning when he refused to use ads, they all fold in the end. I’m not going to act like I know what this means for tumblr, but if the history of social networking sites is an indication, most if not all of them go to shit. If that’s the case, we definitely had a long run.

"The thing about cultural appropriation is that the appropriator does not have to face the same consequences that we do for practicing our culture or faith. For them, it is an accessory that can be taken on or off at will, while for us, it is a way of life. …in a society where immigrants and communities of color are marginalized at every level, we can’t pretend that power relations do not exist when we have this conversation about appropriation. Sharing and exchanging cultural and spiritual practices is great, but it gets more complicated when we’re not all on equal footing. It gets more complicated when meaningful things are taken, commodified, and exploited for a profit, with little respect shown to the community they were taken from." —
