Mother Jones magazine on Tumblr

adamweinstein:

Goodbye, Washington and awesome magazine job. Hello, South Florida and whatever comes next.

I know I’m doing this on April Fool’s Day, but never mind that bunk. I have a for-real announcement:

Come the end of this month, I will be leaving my full-time post as an editor for Mother Jones and returning to my native South Florida, so my newborn son can get to know his extended family as he grows up… and so I can see palm trees in December.

It’s a bittersweet transition, to be sure: MoJo and its leadership have been my family for more than a few years now. They saw potential in me when I felt less than brilliant; they gave me leeway and patience and license to chase government big-rigs through a nuclear plant in South Carolina. I’ve been able not just to watch MoJo’s rising influence in the national conversation: I was empowered to help make it happen. Expect to still see my byline over in MJ’s friendly confines… especially now that MoJo Sports is a thing.

What I jump into next, I don’t know. I plan to finish a PhD that I started some time back. You’ll be able to find my byline this spring and summer at the Columbia Journalism Review, where I’ll be the Florida-Georgia correspondent. Beyond that, I’ll be looking for any opportunity I can find to report, write, edit, tweet, Tumble, and generally rock the publishing world. (Suggestions are most welcome.)

Which means you’ll probably see a lot more of me around here, too. I’ve long neglected my personal Tumblr for MoJo’s, which will continue to be in awesome hands. This one will be my new home base — my longform Twitter, if you will. Hope to see you here sometime. And if you’re ever in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-Palm Beach area, look a brother up!

Early Tumblr Tuesday, y’all. Follow this guy here. We’ll miss ‘im!

What does it take to make “Migas Mondays” official around here?

Our concern is that it would discourage migas consumption Tuesday–Sunday.

Also: Texas Monthly is on Tumblr, guys. Follow them for important migas news, and also long stories about how terrible our criminal justice system is.

Tumblr Tuesday, yall!

So it’s been a big week here — sometime last night, we busted through 50,000 followers… and our hearts busted shortly thereafter. Seriously, thank you, keyboard people. We love you.

For all that success, we’ve come to realize one area of improvement in the Tumblrsphere: We need to follow more good blogs! And that’s where we need your help:

If you’ve got a good suggestion for someone we should follow, right now, reblog this with the link. We’ll toss ‘em a follow and round up the best of ‘em in a post later today.

And again, srsly, thanks. Can we just live with you?

The Rumpus has a Tumblr! →

They call it the Rumblr, and it’s kind of fucking amazing. Tumblr Tuesday, y’all!

Tumblr Tuesday, yall!

Short and easy this week:

For awesome: “Maps & Journalism”

For more awesome: “TruthGraphs”

For biting political commentary: “We Are the 47 Percent”

For biting political snark: “ACTUALLY, YOU’RE THE 47 PERCENT” — an answer to some folks who claim they’re the put-upon taxpayers who built that all by themselves.

TUMBLR TUESDAY, Y’ALL.

After far too many weeks off, we here at MoJo have gotten our shit together and are back to plugging the best stuffz in our feed! New for DNC week:

• election.tumblr.com - Those Tumblr gods, they’re wicked shmart. A nice mix of content to get your political junkie on.

• joberholtzer.tumblr.com - On the ground, occupying the conventions, documenting it all. RAMPARTS, bitches!

• gifhound.tumblr.com - This guy’s kind of a big deal in social media circles, and he’ll be GIF-ing the hell out of Charlotte.

• nationalpost.tumblr.com - Because Canada.

• rncresearch.tumblr.com - Did you know the Republican Party’s oppo researchers have a Tumblr? Apparently you didn’t, because we can’t find any post of theirs that’s gotten more than 2 notes. These guys must be so lonely. Keep them company and give them some feedback, won’t you?

Mental Floss: “Back to the Future Co-Creator Bob Gale Explains How Marty and Doc Became Friends”

so-calledwriter:

Have you ever wondered how Marty McFly and Doc Brown became friends in the first place?

Well, wonder no more.

(Yes, for those of you that are wondering, this is is the trivia equivalent of having an itch you haven’t been able to scratch in the middle of your back for two decades and then finally being handed one of those little wooden rakes shaped like a hand. In other words, it is GLORIOUS.)

Word.
