It looks like Friday, no doubt before another all weekend workathon for the tumblr crew, this hilarious attempt to calm the pitchfork wielding villagers was posted into Staff: Hi, everyone. I wanted to run through a few of the things our engineers have been working on behind the scenes. Our #1 priority has been bringing your blogs back to 100% uptime. We project the graph below on our wall, showing us exactly how many error messages we are serving instead of real pages. We live and die by this chart, and we’ve been pulling nights and weekends working to remove...

Meaghan O'Connel, editrix of the sex story book Coming & Crying, somehow keeps being allowed to write. Apparently that new media lady website The Hairpin thinks Poundcake's  "please like me and think I'm cool" ramblings makes for awesome content. Here's some special highlights from Poundcake's incoherent recollections of flashing her boobs: (more…)

Jessica Quirk, full time blogger for 25 hours a week, works really really hard, yo. She has to make sure people aren't linking to her or reblogging her without telling her, because she doesn't like her content used without getting compensated. Which is why I'm a little surprised to see Messica's January 12th post: looks suspiciously like Cupcakes and Cashmere's January 10th post: I get that she's super busy with work and doesn't have time to read EVERY BLOG EVER, but come on, if this doesn't make the other fashion bloggers give her a side-eye-good-bye then I just don't understand...

Rich Tong, tumblr's latest pointless employee, is busy busy busy begging for tickets vetting all the primo invites he is getting for shows. Now he is going be busy clippers with a whole lot of ass kisser flower bribes thank yous. And what does someone who is internet important do when they need something? Hint for a sponsorship, natch! Aw. Well, maybe a little less time preening in front of your internet reflection and more time building actual relationships with potential sponsors before you demand free stuff, Richie. Yeah, what am I saying. In internetsland all you have to do is...

Poundcake, professional navel gazer, might be at a new company - but that's not keeping her from maintaining her reputation for mature and totally profesh behavior! On one hand I'm late for work, on the other hand i took approximately 30 crappy photos of the snow falling.http://yfrog.com/h3nnabj10:41 AM Jan 25th via Twitter for iPhone Yes tumblr, this is the type of employees you train and send out into the job market. I hope you're proud of yourself for your contribution. And Meaghan, grow the frock up. 'Teehee I wuz playin grab ass with my iphone guess I is late for works'...

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah "small 10k gift ok....that's all? She is paying 600 a month for a space worth 2200! TOPS Look Julia's nice in person. She is. At first. Then she bleeds you. Been there, done that. Job op in CHI? Sure right. Ok I mayve been drinkin dont post my email ok. It's CLEAAAAR WHO WER ARE. Not lie we want her in the club and telling you now as real estate guys, Julia is a put up with her person. She ruins a night for us. You can post this but not our names ok. G would KNOW K. OUT...

Jessica Quirk of What I Wore, nicest girl ever, works very hard, yall. Why, yesterday she had to live up to a reader challenge AND leave her house! Just last week I was challenged to remix an outfit around my beloved Breton striped tee. Challenge accepted, suckers! I initially had some different pants in mind, but this outfit was great to go from lunch to the salon to dinner without skipping a beat. Whoa whoa...she had to get dressed, pose for pics, and then go out and eat two meals with a salon visit in between? How does she do...

We are hearing rumors that there is a reason Tavi Gevinson, fashion blogging's current darling, has not been listed in the bloggers attending tumblr's NYFW field trip: Tavi has no need to attend NYFW on behalf of tumblr. She has more than enough invites and offers to pay for her participation without tumblr. Tavi's tumblr itself seems to be just a series of random picture posts. Her real blogging is still happening elsewhere. I guess we wait and see  if she decides to attend and blog on behalf of tumblr, or continue to pursue her own blog.

Jessica Quirk, can't handle you not liking her outfits, is sick of you jerks commenting anything other than "love your outfit": Do people even understand what constructive criticism means? It's not just a safety net to be rude and get away with it. about 21 hours ago via web Wow Messica, thanks for that fascinating lesson in manners. Now dab your hankie to your eyes and go look around the internet at other comment sections, and see what they put up with sometimes. Then come back and let me know if you still think your comments are oh so brutal....

Andrew Terng, tumblr's sysadmin and probably the person you want to blame when you can't post those cat pics, is also awesome! That's right; ole Poundcake isn't the only one that has fueled tumblr with her awesome. Since he was hired back in November of '09, Awesome Andrew has certainly justified the reason for his employment - to "ensure that the site continues to operate smoothly and doesn’t buckle up under the ever growing traffic". Super job, dude! Keep on being awesome!

Hard working Jessica Quirk, hard worker, is so happy her long week is over! @teekuh It's only 5 degrees here!! (but sunny, beautiful and most importantly - also Friday)about 2 hours ago via web in reply to teekuh Go on, gurl! It's hard work typing out 23 versions of "thanks!" in your comments section every day. And really, you had an exhausting day  yesterday: Snow is falling, records are playing, and I'm from today's outfit I'm feeling like 1990s Seattle (with a twist?) Today is a great day.10:35 AM Jan 20th via web TGIF!!! Thanks!

Jordan Reid, look how cute I am!, is famous for shilling for basically anything. For instance, upon my visit to Shillshackle Sham today I was greeted with an ad telling me to "lock in an out of this world rate with Ditech". So it's not surprising that she's now giving us another trademark "I am fkn adOOOORable" video featuring her shilling for tabasco sauce! Of course you can't just do a video. You have to include a (semi-scripted) story about why you loooove hot sauce now. And what better time to remind everyone you are married than hot sauce story...

Julia, hungry, enjoys brains. She enjoys picking them, and discussing their machinations. But after so much face feasting she may feel queasy: All smiles before the jump. Afterward, I was motion sick for a solid two hours. Awesome! Luckily, Julia had The Unnamed, above, to face-suction to for stability. She's also happy to let someone else bring her to a safe landing, informing us that she's "quite happy to have someone to pull the parachute for me, thanksverymuch." If you know what she means! We joke. Anyway, it looks like those crazy kids had an ok time or whatever. To...

Jordan Reid, door not-locker, recently discovered that you can curl your hair with a flat iron. Let's ignore for a moment that most women over the age of 13 who own a flat iron have probably known this for at least a year, and contemplate Jordan's other hair beauty info: The best part: I have no idea how or why, but waves created this way last forever. Franny and Karmela both told me that my hair would look even better on Day 2…and both times that Franny styled my hair like this, I woke up the next day looking like I’d...

Jordan Reid, incredibly long and ridiculous list of time wasting activities called a career, just can't seem to learn a freaking lesson. I’ve always wondered: if I suddenly discovered a strange man in my apartment, how would I react? Last night, I got my answer. And the answer is: poorly... Last night around 1AM I was sitting on my computer typing away, and Kendrick was just getting back from walking the dogs. He was crouched in the kitchen, sort of around the corner from the living room, taking off their leashes, when out of the corner of my eye I noticed...

Messica is finally back to providing the stunningly original content she is known for! She had a super busy weekend. First, she woke up and put on clothes. Then she had to leave her house for "Starbucks for a little Saturday work session with my husband". Next she had to make a video thing. In this how-to she will teach us how to put on a scarf. Did you know that you can put the scarf around your neck and then tie it? You can even wrap it - twice - to stay warmer! Then Saturday night the @quirks decided to...

Julia, last name seemingly forgotten by various New York media people I asked, is the mysterious and unknown girlfriend of an unnamed high profile politician's son. She is also meeting the parents tonight. Meeting The Boyfriend's parents at dinner tonight. Let's just put it this way: jumping out of a plane at 13k feet was less nerve-wracking. 30 minutes ago via Echofon Rumour has it the anonymous girlfriend is approaching her 30th birthday and may just be shopping for a high profile husband. When asked for more information about the possible relationship of this secretive woman, most of my sources...

Jessica Quirk, social media expert, is once again slapping down commenters who dare say anything other than "LOVE IT!" It's not a contest unless she wins, people. Otherwise she does it to please herself! Unless you love it, then thanks!!! If you hate it, fashion is about personal style!!!! She's so defensive all the time. Anything less than OMG LOVE IT and you get some snide, dismissive remark about personal style and making yourself happy. Which, that's fine, if she's running a blog about Jessica Quirk Being Happy. But if she's putting her "style" out there she needs to accept...

I had to find something in my old Movable Type blog archive & this sad fact occurred to me: tumblr has dumbed down my writing substantially. --- I wonder if anyone else feels like this. I feel like tumblr is best for photos with captions ... not for real writing. Do you hear that, Karp? Yeah, you, the one who was the first to cave into Donkey's foot-stomping two years ago by knocking down any blog critical of her, only to resurrect them when you were deservedly and roundly shamed (something that caused poor Donkey to burst into tears at...

Oh Donkey. Your beloved Mark Kirk is voting to repeal the very laws that would make it illegal for health insurers to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions, like Ceiling Cat gluten-allergy-itis or whatever you claim to have. What a great man! Such character! Next time you vote, you dumb tool, instead of casting your ballot according to what will make you most attractive to the latest dick you're trying to land, do some research.
