Key Differences Between Tumblr and Pinterest Devotees

thetangential:

Sex, Love and Relationships

PINTEREST: Making lists of “dealbreakers” in relationships while planning their dream wedding and future baby’s bedroom.
TUMBLR: Feeling jaded about all IRL relationships and just kinda more into looking at sparkling GIFs of naked women with bruises, covered in bloody roses.

Diet and Fitness
PINTEREST: Always seeking motivational quotes, thinspiration and mini-workouts to help them be the best they can be.
TUMBLR: Sit in basement pressing buttons for exercise, making a Microsoft Paint drawing of hot dogs.

Drugs
PINTEREST: Drugs? I’d rather make a sincere waterfall macro with a Bible quote on it, thank you.
TUMBLR: Which hashtag will lead me to the weirdest shit to stare at while I’m stoned?

Interior Decoration
PINTEREST: Cataloging any and all granite kitchen stylings for my future dream home with rich man emulating Disney prince.
TUMBLR: Decorates their actual home with their own attempts to create pixelated versions of popular cartoon characters

Technology
PINTEREST: How can I use 20 thrifted bobbins to create a rack for my antique hairbrush?
TUMBLR: Is the mute switch on the new iPad software really necessary? Let’s debate this via 20 reblogs.

Cairo: My City, Our Revolution, by Ahdaf Soueif

Ahdaf Soueif - novelist, commentator, activist - navigates her history of Cairo and her journey through the Revolution that’s redrawing its future. Through a map of stories drawn from private history and public record Soueif charts a story of the Revolution that is both intimately hers and publicly Egyptian. Ahdaf Soueif was born and brought up in Cairo. When the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 erupted on January 25th, she, along with thousands of others, called Tahrir Square home for eighteen days. She reported for the world’s media and did - like everyone else - whatever she could.

Soueif wrote a love letter to her beloved Cairo in this week’s issue.

Have you seen this man? As Nick Pinto reports, he allegedly struck Occupy Wall Street journalist and livestreamer Tim Pool during last night’s march.

If someone says a rhinoceros is coming in two seconds, we worry. But if you say a rhinoceros is coming in 20 years, nobody moves.

A Buddhist monk said this to Christopher Dickey on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, last week.

This week’s cover features a very Spartacus-looking Mitt Romney battling his way into the hearts and minds of conservatives nationwide. We’re, uh, kind’ve obsessed with this one. You like?
