“There’s never anything on my table except the newspapers. I am addicted to them and read the fat Sunday supplements all through the week. I just like the stories, I don’t mind if they’re stale.

Community on tumblr is founded on aesthetic affinities. The unfolding of a tumblr blog, the eternal scroll (I can’t stand tumblrs with pages, it’s a bizarre form of skeuomorphism, just don’t do it) is something that is absolutely iconic and singular to the tumblr aesthetic.
The kind of unfolding that the infinite scroll allows creates a stream of unrelated/semi-related/interrelated yet representative images all in succession that reflect the aesthetic identity of the tumblr user. If you Follow them, then you are incorporating elements of their aesthetic into your own. Tumblr is for gazing, for affirmative pleasures. I’m assuming most people don’t follow tumblrs that piss them off – that’s what your friends from back home on Facebook are for.

Welcome to English to English
Right, then. Prince Harry’s visit to the USA is as good a time as any to point out that the mutual curiosity shared between British and American cultures is as intense as ever. It’s also a good time to launch this Tumblr.
When Winston Churchill coined the phrase “special relationship” to describe the connection between the two nations in 1946, he was describing two countries whose commitments to similar ideals – for better or worse – have historically meant a keen interest in each other. “Special”, sometimes, doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Welcome! We’re well chuffed, or whatever.
“There is more maturity here and none of the “smartness” which he himself came to deplore.”
