This afternoon, we plunged in the brisk, bracing waters of yet another social media platform: tumblr.
You can find us here.
There is no pressure, dear readers. If you are on tumblr, it would be just lovely if you clicked the follow button. If not, no worries. We aren’t going anywhere, we are just sharing our love.
Things to know: some of the lighter content on tumblr will be exclusive to that site. Our horizons will be a bit larger there, too. Fashion, tea, silent movies, punk rock, history…
Have a lovely evening!
