Tumblr Tuesday: Shorty Award’s Tumblr of the Year
The Shorty Awards
Honoring the best of social media. Quite possibly the only place on the Internet where a bear can win an award.
Pizza
Don’t be fooled by the URL, this blog doesn’t make sense any way you slice it.
Smart Girls at the Party
Smart Girl Amy Poehler started a movement aimed at girls to spread a simple but often forgotten point: you can change the world by being yourself.
Quantified Breakup
Feelings are gross, bar graphs are cool. One user documents their divorce with graphs and calculations.
The Worst Room
Is the worst room you can imagine a bathroom that makes you choose between using the toilet and closing the door? Because that exists.

The smile of a loved one. Your childhood blanket. A handsome bodyguard to take you in his arms. “Security” can mean a lot of things in this crazy life, but nothing says “security” like Tumblr’s two-factor authentication. It’s available as an option in your Settings page as of right now.
You know how you need two keys to launch a nuclear missile? Two-factor authentication works like that. One key is your password, the other key is your cellular phone, and you need both to access your Tumblr Dashboard.
Keep your Dashboard safe and secure, like you do with your nuclear missile. Learn more about two-factor authentication today.
