Tumblr was established way back in 2007, but some would argue its heyday in the early 2010s. It’s still going strong today, despite a significant drop in traffic in 2019 when certain *ahem* NSFW policies were enacted. It has evolved with the rest of the internet, but for many of us, its weird peak came right at our most formative years, and there are a lot of elements from that bygone era seared directly into our brains.

If that doesn’t hit you with a blast of nostalgia that’s as refreshing as it is embarrassing, I don’t know what will. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go ship The Lorax with Captain America, because I can, dammit.
