Two ex-tumblr girls turned modern tumblr women. We discuss the good, the bad, and the incredibly cringe of growing up as a frequent user of Tumblr in its golden era—and still using it today. From fandom and fanfiction to buzzwords and girlbosses, we cover all the things the internet taught us as girls and how it made us who we are today. We can't wait to connect with the rest of the worlds' ex-tumblr girls!

WELCOME BACK FROM THE GRAVEEEE (a couple months off)!! We return to the ex-tumblr girl community to talk zombies - the most iconic moments in the zombie genre, what they represent (baseless claim style), and most importantly: The Last of Us. And what would spooky season be without a mention of Scooby Doo Zombie Island? Keep in touch <3 extumblrgirl…

Happy Friday the 13th! Today we bring you two archetypal ghost stories: the long-martyred (until she's hated) dead white girl and the present-in -their-absence ghost who haunts the narrative. We dig into what a ghost story represents, what separates a ghost from being in the narrative and haunting it for good, and how true crime turns real people's…

Do YOU remember the Summer of 2020? It was a time when a tax-evading raccoon put us all in bell debt just to have friends who were proud of us and a reason to wake up (turnips). This fanthropology, Carly dives into Animal Crossing's most prolific lore and characters, while Tori rehashes the time a digital cat in glasses became a contentious trading…

In the next iteration of fanthropology, we bring it back to a high school obsession: Skam Norway. Tori rehashes four seasons of European high school drama that for ONCE is dealt with empathetically and with nuance! We discuss the fandom's favorite ships, Tori's least favorite character of All Time, and the iconic moment of watching daily uploads th…

This week in our never-ending string of fanfic discourse, we're getting into sentence-level atrocities committed on tumblr dot com. Comma splices, pet names, paragraph breaks and our very first bleeped mentions for similes that should NEVER be used. It's just hater hour. What else could you ask for! Keep in touch <3 extumblrgirls@gmail.com ig: @ext…

In this essentially nothing but tangents episode, we list off all the things we think we could do but have little to no evidence or proof. Could Tori do a blood transfusion? Could Carly run for president? Because, btw, we find out mid-ep B*den will not. We embrace the delusions and positivity on a Small Joys Sunday! Other topics include the NYT 100…

TERFS DNI! DUH! Because this week we're finally getting into terfs, how to spot them, why we hate them, how they've ruined tumblr and tumblr's own role in treating trans people horribly. Terf-blocker extraordinaire Carly unpacks what talking points trans-exclusionary, self-titled "radfems" use to defend their transphobia. Together, we look at what …

Even though everything in our lives comes back to tumblr, even more of it comes back to New Jersey. As it's fandom leaders, we talk about our favorite NJ lore (the shore, the smelly part of the turnpike, the drive to each others houses) and media that takes place there. Forget jersey shore, the diner state is better represented by the teen yellowja…

On this episode of fanthropology, we are the study subjects as survivors of bachelor nation. We unpack just a few of the craziest dramas we witnessed over roughly 10 seasons of bachelors, bachelorettes and paradise. Between religious guilt, meddling producers, cheating and (who's surprised) racism, this show has everything wrong with it possible. B…

We're bringing it back to fanfic again to talk about alternate universes - ones where you're born with a soulmate mark (boooo), ones with wolf pack dynamics (idgi) and the ones we actually like. Since we took a break getting sick with capitalism, there's a lot to catch up on: being musical lovers and haters at the same time, reading, watching, and …

We're returning to one of our favorite episode topics: our childhood fandoms! (Listen to Webkinz Fangirls in Training!!) But this is alllll about books, of which we read a LOT in middle and elementary school. You'll quickly sense a theme of what our interests were (concerning tbh). Sorry if this ep is chaotic mercury is in retrograde... so. Keep up…

The ex-tumblr girls are romance readers without shame!!! This week we're yapping about the best tropes to read: enemies to lovers (elite), slow burn, forced proximity / only one bed, secret dating and more. But we'll admit we don't really read fluff. Sue us. We like hurt / comfort! Other chats include why fantasy series fics don't need to be in can…

We're celebrating a year (and a month) of being podcasters!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for listening as we figured out what we're doing, and still are. To get in touch with our tumblr roots, we have an episode of meaningless discourse, baseless claims and everything we would cancel if we could (anxiety, sudoku ads, terfs, and tumblr s…

The OG self-insert fanfic. The Mormon legend. The start of the self-published fic era. The skin of a killer Bella. Have we read the series? No. But we get deep into Twilight movies (like 100% of the plot, but can there really be spoilers for this series anymore) from why Edward is a 100-year-old virgin and the baseball scene to the confusion of vam…

From roughly seven years of being a K-pop stan, Tori gives an introduction to the industry via her personal favorite groups. Hard facts? Hard to say. But the six weeks iKon spent at number one in 2018 can never be forgotten, that's for sure. From a non-comprehensive dictionary to a prediction about fifth gen, it's all hyperfixation gab. Keep up on …

Fuck the shareholders! (The followers and engagement that determine what we consider art and which artists succeed.) Carly presents what social media has done to art and artists, both from the perspective of the followers and the (content) creators. We discuss why Deviantart flopped, short form video diluting the value of art, our hatred for AI art…

This week, we're hashing out some classic tumblr discourse that always comes back to the same conclusion: the people on this website have never met a child. With an emphasis on nuance, we discuss whether kids should be able to read any book they want at any age, whether teens should have adult friends (and why adults would want teen friends???) and…

Tumblr is not only horrible discourse (though it definitely is that too), sometimes it's full of small pieces of wisdom that change your brain forever. Text posts have taught us to do it scared, recognize our dichotomy thoughts, emotional switchbacking, and to stop borrowing grief from the future. We are going to practice having hope this year!! Re…

It's almost 2024, and that means it's time for the ex-tumblr girls to predict the pop culture moments that will shake the world in the year to come. And not just that: we present them as a bingo board that we can and will win with our foresight for the return of instagram brows, a gay American Girl doll, a historical drama centered around the trian…
  continue reading
 
This week is all about the hunger games: discourse on plot conspiracies, the time we met Finnick, and a game on the most insane fanfic you've ever heard (spoiler: an OC named Lyme and King Lebron James). Plus, Tori unearths a four year old joke from Carly and why tumblr's announced change in crew probably doesn't mean anything new. Keep up on socia…

Self care is a multi-billion dollar industry and an Instagram buzzword, so naturally it's a bastardized capitalist version of a concept developed by Black feminists. We dive into why the "self care" on social media is expensive, competitive and optimized for all the wrong reasons, and what self care really means to us! Tangents include goop, clean …

Happy spooky season! We put 16 of our favorite women in horror up against each other to find the true queen of scares. This episode is full of spoilers for so many different things. Yes the line up makes no sense and features very few Actual horror characters. Yes the Babadook counts as a woman. Tell us who would win yours!! Follow us on social med…

Are you torn over whether girl dinner is a subversive feminist statement or just a silly meme? We don’t have an answer, but we do have a linguistic analysis over why we choose the word girl over woman for trendy media, and what that means for our concept of adult womanhood. Can we call ourselves women if we’re not married or mothers? Can we still b…

Who needs a high school English class when you had Tumblr’s #words? Today we host a reading sesh with the poems and quotes from the #words tag that stuck with us into adulthood, followed by screaming about how much we love hopeful and accessible poems. To much surprise, these Tumblr-famous poems aren’t depressing. And to no surprise, Carly reads Tw…

Our secret project is finally here! This episode is made in collaboration with Kat Jokinen, curator of the Hell is a Teenage Girl archive. Check out her full site in the links below! In this ep we explore the modern day "girl blogger," who is really not that different from the 2014 tumblr girl. We explore the themes of mental illness (labeled as de…

We're talking about fanfic again!! But this week, we're talking all about the best, the worst, the most horrifying yet efficient fic library the web has to offer: Archive of our own. If you're long time users like us, you'll still be horrified by what you can find there! If you're new, we give you the run down on how to navigate. Plus, a game of gu…

Everyone on the internet knows these words but no one knows how to use them correctly! We talk about the definitions of words surrounding trauma, and how using them incorrectly can be damaging to understanding their real implications. But it's still silly of course :P Follow us on social media! Instagram: @extumblrgirlspod TikTok: @extumblrgirls Tu…

We love fictional women, whether they're heroes of their nation or crazy manipulators, because we support women's rights AND wrongs. Today we decide who the biggest girlboss of tumblr fame is (even though we briefly tried to decide who would win in a fight, we make mistakes okay). We're also back in our making tumblr edits era so if you figure out …

Like so many other tumblr girls, the first fanfics we ever read were one direction reader insert. We retell some of the most iconic (and poorly written) fanfics and imagines of those first years when everything was written by and for 12 year olds. **Content trigger warning: mentions of abusive relationships, eating disorders, self harm- majority oc…

We intended to review six but we got too passionate and dedicated so we made it a two-part ep! Tune in next week for three more queens and inevitably more tangents on the bizarre Tumblr meme of the week. Follow us on social media! Instagram…

Everyone is saying the 2014 Tumblr girl is back, but what were the girls really wearing in 2014? We break down the soft grunge and twee aesthetics in all their nostalgic glory, but also reflect on the problematic side to these styles. Plus a special shoutout to all the items that fit neither aesthetic that should make a come back and those that sho…

When you and your best friend spend over a decade with active accounts on Tumblr dot com, you decide it's time to make a podcast about it. We share the many, many fandoms and types of content we blogged about during our teen years and what we blog about now. Also, a totally necessary tangent about what it meant to learn what feminism was through Tu…

С задержкой всего в месяц, но он здесь – новый выпуск. Если честно, то это должно было быть стартом нового сезона, но у нас ничего не получилось и мы просто поболтали о главных темах весны. Проделать работу над ошибками может каждый, поэтому мы оставили немного несвязанных диалогов, глупых шуток и всего того, что нас безумно бесит.Внутри можно узна…

Ладно, ничего мы пока открывать не собираемся, но парочку инсайдов и кулстори гарантируем. В этот раз в гости зашел человек, которого все знают разных ролях. Крестный отец русского фиксед гира, человек, который делал стальные рамы до того, как это самое, секретный агент Specialized на территории РФ, совладелец магазина CityCycle – Вова Лосинский. О…
