Tumblr and I

I like Tumblr. Although it took some time to grasp its idea, I think once I understood it, it became really nice to just scroll through it. I like to see it as a very friendly merge between blogger and instagram. It also plays with some good characteristics myspace used to have (in the best sense possible) and it looks modern, and clean. If you happen to know a little of the people you follow or were just attracted to it by their interests... even better! Thats the beauty of it...
I want to share with you 3 tumblrs that I like, not only because they happen to be friends of mine but also because they couldn't be more different from each other and each in its unique way covers things that really interest me at heart.

*clockwise: Etty's Caracas Love and Hate; Mari's Recession Pantry; Armando's La Dinastia Chow Fan. Last picture is a still of one of his movies. (the one that made me cry!)
One is about everything pickled (yes! I hadn't confess it but I have an obsession with pickled goods) Oh I love to eat pickled green beans, beets, tomatoes...I could go on and on but the best part is that she shares good recipes, colorful pictures and great reads. She is a friend of mine who recently started tumbling and I'm loving it! The other is a really good and close friend of mine. She is from Venezuela and happens to have a very nostalgic, folkloric and sometimes harsh and true view of the realities that beautiful country is going through. You'll find a lot of good quotes and pictures, and very funny videos and other things that are simply real and hard to face but somehow necessary... The third, is a friend I admire very much, who makes beautiful films that will make you cry and other movies that will enrage you with the politics of our country (Colombia) but his tumblr is a collaboration with two of his friends so in between them they have a great mix of design, poetry and very (sometimes) racy humor.
Who are you following? Would love to add them to my list! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
