tumbleweave

Strictly city/urban: A ratty ball of fake hair extention (commonly referred to as "weave") that has been roaming the streets since it liberated itself from someones, ahem, "hair."

Usually it has picked up other debris in it's tangled mess, adding to it's charm.

After seeing something skittering along out of the corner of your eye:

"Shit! I thought that was a rat. Just tumbleweave."

tumblr syndrome

A developmental disorder acquired by spending excessive amounts of time on tumblr, characterized by simultaneous enlightenment and ignorance. Due to its nature, it is extremely difficult to self-diagnose, as affected bloggers will dismiss the symptoms almost immediately after noticing them. Those affected will write about the equality, value, and experiences that every human shares, while isolating themselves through a declaration of hate for everyone in the world.

Incidences of tumblr syndrome include:

toinfinityandbeyond: "insert thoughtful insight here"
youvegotafriendinme: this (and/or) yes
toinfinityandbeyond: I just don't fucking like anyone

youvegotafriendinme: I'm a single, attractive, intelligent, remotely sane female from New York.
toinfinityandbeyond: No way. I'm single, attractive, intelligent, remotely sane male from New York.
youvegotafriendinme: Were going to be along forever aren't we?
toinfinityandbeyond: That we are.

science side of tumblr

a small part of tumblr made up of intellectuals that doesn't spend their time obsessing over fandoms or bands and instead tries to keep themselves scientifically literate by reading scientific articles and wants every body to be educated and care about science.

The other part of tumblr occasionally asks the science side random questions that are more often than not ignored whitch leads to the other side of tumblr questioning if the science side exists at all.

"Science side of tumblr does mayo work as good lube?"

*science side rolls their eyes and continues to ponder about the universe and read a Carl Sagan quote*
