I have been on Tumblr since 2009.
I attended Tumblr’s early meet-ups.
I met and befriended some OG Tumblr staffers.

I co-hosted Tumblr’s first (and only?) bi-coastal meet-up.
I successfully lobbied for the Tumblr parenting community to be included in the site’s first directory.
I got a book deal because of a post on my Tumblr and that book became a bestseller.

My Tumblr led to friendships, jobs, speaking gigs, TV appearances, more book deals.

And yet — AND YET — this just happened…

What the hell, man?
