Ex-Tumblr Girls

This week we return to the podcasting grind after our break (and big project release!), resulting in an ep full of life updates about moving, discussing our Facebook marketplace excursions, and seeing our Tumblr icon Halsey!! We also update on the culture (of course) including the awful updates from Tumblr staff, some thoughts on the new Black Mirror season and weird creations from the new Legend...

Our secret project is finally here! This episode is made in collaboration with Kat Jokinen, curator of the Hell is a Teenage Girl archive. Check out her full site in the links below! In this ep we explore the modern day "girl blogger," who is really not that different from the 2014 tumblr girl. We explore the themes of mental illness (labeled as delusion), disordered eating (disguised as...

We're talking about fanfic again!! But this week, we're talking all about the best, the worst, the most horrifying yet efficient fic library the web has to offer: Archive of our own. If you're long time users like us, you'll still be horrified by what you can find there! If you're new, we give you the run down on how to navigate. Plus, a game of guess the ship based on the most...

Everyone on the internet knows these words but no one knows how to use them correctly! We talk about the definitions of words surrounding trauma, and how using them incorrectly can be damaging to understanding their real implications.

We love fictional women, whether they're heroes of their nation or crazy manipulators, because we support women's rights AND wrongs. Today we decide who the biggest girlboss of tumblr fame is (even though we briefly tried to decide who would win in a fight, we make mistakes okay). We're also back in our making tumblr edits era so if you figure out what our blogs are keep it to yourself...

Like so many other tumblr girls, the first fanfics we ever read were one direction reader insert. We retell some of the most iconic (and poorly written) fanfics and imagines of those first years when everything was written by and for 12 year olds.  **Content trigger warning: mentions of abusive relationships, eating disorders, self harm- majority occurs from 1:09:25-1:13:40** Follow us on soc...

Everyone is saying the 2014 Tumblr girl is back, but what were the girls really wearing in 2014? We break down the soft grunge and twee aesthetics in all their nostalgic glory, but also reflect on the problematic side to these styles. Plus a special shoutout to all the items that fit neither aesthetic that should make a come back and those that should stay in 2014. Follow us on social media! Insta...

When you and your best friend spend over a decade with active accounts on Tumblr dot com, you decide it's time to make a podcast about it. We share the many, many fandoms and types of content we blogged about during our teen years and what we blog about now. Also, a totally necessary tangent about what it meant to learn what feminism was through Tumblr and how it made us into the women we are toda...
