Dianna Agron's Hipster/Perfect Tumblr

I think Dianna Agron, star of Glee, pretty blonde flower dress girl, is secretly a hipster.

And I secretly love her for it. (well not so secret anymore).

First, I have to admit that I love Glee. I was about 1 and half seasons late to the party, but whatever. I'm all caught up and a little bit disappointed I'm missing the season finale because I'll be in China.

Second, I have to preface this with the statement that I don't think Dianna Agron is the pretentious douchey too-cool-for-you hipster type. She just likes hipster-y things like film cameras, underground music, the iphone hipstamatic app, and post-modern art like drawings of smiley faces pasted onto a photo of real people.

from dianna agron's tumblr

Ladies and gentlemen and all the genders in between and outside, I present to you:


I like Dianna's tumblr because she seem to like a lot of the things I like. Also she makes playlists a lot, which is my favourite, and I've youtubed all the songs and have thus discovered a bunch of new bands/songs because of her. She quotes people like Rainer Maria Rilke, whom Riese loves, and I love what Riese loves.

She doesn't post pictures of other celebrities or shit cut out of Cosmo. She knows the difference between "it's" and "its". There are some behind the scenes pictures of the cast members of Glee, which comes off as special and cute, rather than "look at me I'm famous". She seems excited and maybe surprised that people are paying attention to what she's doing. I don't know. She seems to genuinely want to share with people what she's working on/found/likes.


Here are some songs I really like that I heard from Dianna's tumblr:

+ The Dodos - Fools
+ The Walkmen - In The New Year
+ Radical Face - Welcome Home
+ Atlas Sound - Walkabout
+ Deer Tick - Baltimore Blues No 1

Tumblr Saturday with Alessia the Photographer/Former Liberal Artist

Text:
Hello. It has been a while since I last posted a Tumblr Saturday. Well I've been busy so fuck you. JK. Love you. Anyways, today's guest is Alessia Pizzanelli!

I met Alessia last year in Liberal Arts. We have a facebook message thread of over 700 posts. It is so huge it makes my phone lag. A lot of those posts are me talking about Penelope Cruz (sidenote: Why is she supporting Roman Polanski I don't know I am disillusioned I just want Penelope to look pretty and know that rape is rape and not "rape" when you're famous. Ya know?). Alessia decided one day that she was going to leave Liberal Arts to study something more practical, like photography. I'm still bitter, but she's awesome. We always say we're going to have photography days but then we never do. Alessia says things like "guys" even though she's only talking to one person. She also falls asleep everywhere and likes sushi. GUYS SHE'S GONNA BE A FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON NOW.

Emily: um..the spanish armada has attacked me and won. shit.
Emily: 121 WORDS AN HOUR LATER.. SLOW, SLOW PROGRESS, BUT PROGRESS NONETHELESS.
Emily: you know, i think the title 'invincible' is a curse. anything given a name like 'invincible', 'unsinkable', 'undefeatable' is destined to fail. ex: invincible armada, titanic, dawson blues.
Emily: ok i know what the problem is. my topic is a historic event. how can i analyse it without describing it? yours is theology which has more arguments than "who won the war" obvs spain had an epic fail with the armada. i can only write about the consequences and i don't really know what those were.
Emily: tom cruise is 46 years old.
Emily: since 6:22 i have written.. 183 words. i'm going to pretend that's an accomplishment. & i'm tired and want to sleep/don't want to go to english/going to fail math/suicide
Alessia: emiliussssss i am back! i think we should both skip english, yes? ;)

Tumblr Saturday with Achtung Baby!

Text:
Hello! I'm not at home! I have no concept of time, I can't think of sentences ob la dee ob la da life goes on!

Anyways enough about nothing. Today is Tumblr Saturday and that means someone other than me is going to do this post. You might think that I get to take a break and just do nothing but THAT IS NOT TRUE I actually have to typetypetype things. So you better read and appreciate this.

Have you guys ever heard of Achtung Baby? WELL HE IS HERE TODAY TO BLOW YOU AWAY. Mr. Juan Luna lives in Texas, he's been blogging on Achtung Baby for 6 years which is really long and therefore he has a devoted fan base because he is awesome. I discovered Achtung Baby through Riese and haven't stopped checking it every day since. Juan is a fan of U2, Leonard Cohen, video games, and Vladimir Nabokov. I was on his blog once on purpose and once inadvertently to which I can't find the link for so wtvs it's fine, just go perusing. Also once I posted a Christie Dupree song which I got from Juan. ALSO once he posted a video of Fiona Apple singing Why Try to Change me Now which totes got me into Fiona. So yeah, if you love music and have good taste then you'll love Achtung Baby. Trust.

Also I'm gonna be doing the chat because Juan didn't send me one. It's fine because I don't know if anything will ever be as good as "WHAT DO YOU WANT I EAT EYEBALLS".

Again, if you want to be my next guest blogger then message me on facebook or send me an email or a text message or talk to me at school or on the internet wtvs.

"My Blog Post": Tumblr Saturday with Cult Classic Brooke Levin

Text:
Hey-o, friends! It's your friendly neighborhood blogger, Emily. Today is a special day. Today I have my very first guest blogger (except only sort of because she doesn't write much)!


Brooke Levin is the money manager/maker at Autostraddle. She is the subject of many hashtags such as #brookelevin, #brooke11 and #brookelevinamazing. She will RT (retweet) anything with #swineflu. Brooke Levin is also a cult classic. When asked if she pronounces it "ay-men" or "ah-men" she said "I don't like to be bound by my 'a''s". Brooke Levin does not want to know if you are underage and she does not condone "inappropriateness". Since 98% of the Autostraddle interns and maybe just the team in general are inappropriate she is often telling us "that is inappropriate". Once I posted something "inappropriate" and two seconds later she reprimanded me because she is on top of her shit. Brooke Levin opened my eyes to subjectlining, which is the act of writing a whole email in the subject line and leaving the body empty. She tweets, she tumbles, and it's also quite possible that Brooke Levin is Lady Gaga.

Oh yeah, did I mention we love her?

Anyways, Brooke is doing the rest of this post, which includes all the types of posts you can make on tumblr. From now on I'll be having someone else do this every Saturday, that's why it's called Tumblr Saturday, you can see the first one here. If you're interested in doing a Tumblr Saturday with me then let me know.
[note: I did not make that graphic, the amazing Alex Vega did.]

Hey! It's Tumblr Saturday!

Text:
Vashti and I exchange tumblr emails daily because we're really cool and we like full inboxes. It's possible that I will make this a regular feature. It would be cool if I could do Tumblr Tuesday but I already have Music Monday and I hate posting two days in a row. So maybe a Tumblr Saturday.

Our tumblr emails consist of all the things you can post on tumblr: text, photo, quote, link, chat, audio, and video.
