2. Having Several Blogs Under One Tumblr Account

Tumblr gives you the ability to have several blogs under one account, unlike other social media platforms and blogs. You can have a photography blog, a poetry blog, and a regular aesthetics/unapologetic blog and all you have to do is sign in to one account. This can be done by making a Tumblr account, going into your settings, and clicking “Create a new blog” under the heading “Blog” on the right hand side. This is an incredible asset Tumblr has over other social medias and blog sites. 

3. Having A Unique Dashboard

Another great aspect of Tumblr is the freeing feeling of having a unique dashboard. Despite society’s pressures of putting us in a box, many people’s reality is being eccentric and subscribing to different labels and identities. Tumblr is able to cater to all of your interests by providing hashtags and accounts to follow for a feed or dashboard that piques your interest. This never ending dashboard is a compilation of all the hashtags and Tumblr accounts you follow for you to reblog and like; this allows you to explore audio, quotes, and aesthetics that other people like you enjoy, rather than concentrating and pressuring yourself to post personal pictures everyday. This is what makes Tumblr an escape from other platforms on the internet.

6. High-Quality Photography & Images

One reason for aesthetically pleasing content on Tumblr is the high-quality photography and images found throughout the site. In 2009, Tumblr added a feature for users to show high-resolution versions of their images for their audience to see. In addition to seeing photos in high quality, you are also able to see photography and images in the full versions it was uploaded as. No other microblogging site has this feature, making it unique and beneficial for Tumblr. 

7. Self-Expression

More than anything, Tumblr is an expression of individuality. Tumblr is a place of exploration, finding yourself, and immersing yourself in different worlds through the endless amount of existing blogs. You go onto Tumblr to express yourself and reblog or publish content you feel speaks to you. It really is a microblogging site for you and what you make it.

Tumblr has offered many people opportunities to get information and content out there. What came with this and self-expression was diversity and representation. Due to the plethora of images, markets, audio, and words on Tumblr, many people have been able to see and read works on the microblogging site that has given them reassurance and a good sense of self-concept by identifying with what’s in front of them. Having a Tumblr account as a person of color, woman, queer person, disabled person, hijabi, etc. is being a part of a life-affirming world. There is no doubt that you will find mirroring images and relatable words that make you feel heard and seen like never before. 

9. A Safe Space

Tumblr is the social media of safe spaces. You’re completely anonymous, from your name to not even needing a profile picture. You don’t even have to post content; you can just reblog content you like that revolves around your interests and that speaks to you. The anonymity and judgement free zone Tumblr embodies helps with mental health and the feeling of being misunderstood. It is also beneficial for those who don’t want to be found on social media, making it an anti-blog social media site for users.
