Tumblr is a social media platform that I simply do not understand, at least not yet.
Luckily, I have a teenage daughter. And she sends me links to hilarious tidbits like this one, posted last month by a denizen of Tumblr (Tumblret? Tumblron? Tumblrina?) who calls herself alriviera and blogs at “Obstinate Headstrong Girl.” (My kinda chick, obviously.) Here it is:
