Excelsior.

tl;dr—Tumblr expressed their gratitude and said their farewells to real-life superhero, Stan Lee. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the epitome of girl power, premiered on Netflix. The trailer for Detective Pikachu dropped and the image of Mr. Mime will forever be seared into our brains. This is Tumblr’s Week in Review.

We’re a little sad to say that this post marks the last of our Fandometrics for the rest of 2018. That means there will be no more weekly lists or Week in Review until January 7, 2019. The good news? We’re going to have something much, much bigger take its place for the month of December. Think Week in Review, but bigger. About 52 times bigger.

Week In Review

Keeping our promise to be transparent about state-sponsored disinformation campaigns

Hey Tumblr,

This past March, we made you aware of steps we took to take down an Internet Research Agency (IRA) disinformation campaign operating on Tumblr in the lead up to the 2016 U.S. elections. The IRA is a Russian state-sponsored group that attempts to influence global political sentiment using Tumblr and other platforms. Our efforts helped indict 13 people who worked for the IRA.

We said at the time that we would be on the lookout for additional evidence of fake Tumblr accounts affiliated with state-sponsored disinformation campaigns.

In the days leading up to November 6, 2018, we were provided information by law enforcement authorities, including a list of Tumblr accounts allegedly tied to the IRA. We immediately initiated our own independent investigation and we have now identified a total of 112 accounts that we believe to be IRA-affiliated. These accounts appear to be relics of past IRA activity. None of the blogs contained any content related to the 2018 midterm elections, and all of the blogs were dormant since the 2016 election cycle.

Although these blogs posed no threat to the 2018 elections, consistent with our promise in March, we:

  • Immediately terminated these accounts and removed the original posts;
  • Left reblogs of posts from these accounts in place for transparency purposes;
  • Are notifying you if you liked, reblogged, replied to, or followed one of the accounts; and
  • Have added the accounts to our public record of usernames linked to state-sponsored disinformation campaigns.

U.S. intelligence officials and law enforcement continue to warn that we will see attempts at foreign influence in the future. We remain committed to closely monitoring for signs of state-sponsored disinformation campaigns and will continue to review any information made available to us.

There are also things you can do to help stop the spread of disinformation and propaganda.

  1. Be aware that people want to manipulate the conversation. Knowing that disinformation and propaganda accounts are out there makes it harder for them to operate. The News Literacy Project has this handy checklist (hosted by John Jay College of Criminal Justice ) for spotting their tricks.
  2. Be skeptical of things you read. Disinformation campaigns work because they know people don’t fact check. Look for reliable sources, and double-check that the source really says the same thing as the post. You can also check Snopes and Politifact. Both are award-winning resources and usually have the latest viral claim fact-checked on the front page. 
  3. Correct the record. When you see people spreading misinformation—even unintentionally—politely say something in a reblog or reply. If it’s your friend, send them a message to let them know.

Most importantly, we’ll continue to keep our promise to be transparent with you.

Take a moment and recognize the incredible contribution you made to your community and your country by voting in the midterm elections earlier this week. You exercised your right to vote and you made your voice heard. That is no small feat.

The results of the election may have left some of you disappointed, but we wanted to point out just how much new diversity and representation people like you voted into office. Our leaders should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve, and this year you elected a whole bunch of firsts:

This was all done by you. You made these monumental changes happen with the power of your vote.

Let’s remember: it isn’t over. Voting isn’t the end. Continue to volunteer in your communities and attend events to keep your community in check. Remember that change rarely comes without action. Take action.

Thank you, Tumblr.

Midterm Elections you voted! we're proud.

Happy Election Day, Tumblr!

If you’ve already mailed in your absentee ballot or participated in early voting, give yourself a pat on the back followed by a healthy round of applause. You did it, constituents! You knew your voice was important and you made damn sure that it was heard.

For the majority of you, today is your time to shine. These midterm elections are important because you get to vote at the local level. You get to have a say in what matters the most to the communities in which you live, work, and spend much of your time and money.

Today is your chance to protect what you love and fight for what you believe in.

Make sure you’re prepared before you leave your home to vote:

  • Make sure you have any necessary paperwork
    If you live in New York or California, you can just state your name and address to cast your ballot. Neat! Other states have different requirements, like you may need to present a photo ID. You can check out the specifics for your state here.

  • Look into when and where to vote
    Some voting polls can open as early as 6 a.m. and close as early as 6 p.m. Others are open until 9 p.m. Checking your polling location and its hours is easy—just head on over to Vote.org’s polling place locator.

  • Know your rights
    It’s important for you to know your rights and what actions you can take if you are denied the opportunity to vote. Voter intimidation is illegal, and you have every right to report any sort of intimidation or harassment you see at the polls. This can affect anyone, but is often used to prevent historically disenfranchised people from being heard.

Voting is a right. Voting is a privilege. Voting is a responsibility. When you vote today, think of the people in your life who weren’t able to vote 60, 80, 100 years ago. Think of how far we’ve come. Think of how far we still have to go. Think of the voiceless who are not able to vote today, but deserve as much help and protection as anyone else. Just think—and vote.

Oh, and join us later tonight for live coverage of the midterms with Yahoo! News. Just hop on Tumblr at 7:30 p.m. ET and you won’t miss a beat.

This is it. See you at the polls, Tumblr.

Black Girls Vote, Tumblr team up to get voters to the polls

Black Girls Vote Inc. and Tumblr teamed up to get at least 2,018 people to vote in 2018.
WMAR Staff

Did you hear? We partnered with Black Girls Vote (@blackgirlsvote) for “A Social Experience” at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. Our goal was simple: increase voter participation, and make sure people had fun while doing it. There was an upbeat, cheerful march to the polls. There was a dance floor. There was DJ, a photo booth, Tumblr swag, free food, and one beautiful community coming together.

Before marching to the polls, students gathered at MSU’s quad to hear speakers Dr. David Wilson, President of MSU, Bridget Kyeremateng, our very own Social Impact Coordinator, and Nykidria Robinson, founder and CEO of BGV, about the inherent power in voting, especially from historically marginalized people .

“We’re here to say that Black girls will vote, but also we’re going to take our husbands, our boyfriends, our brothers, our sons with us to the poll. Because it’s so important for us to vote.” — Nykidria Robinson, founder and CEO of Black Girls Vote.

Tumblr, we need you. People all over the world need you. Use your voice. Use your vote. It is the strongest asset you have. Historically, the youth vote—ages 18 to 24, have the lowest turnout of any age bracket. You can change that this year. You can change that every year moving forward. You can be heard. 

If you have any questions relating to state-specific election rules, check out How to Vote. HTV provides a summary of voter registration and voting rules for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. in both English and Spanish. Users can learn about registration, voting methods, important dates and deadlines, look up contact information for election officials and information for military and overseas voters, and check their registration status. If you have a question, chances are they have an answer. 

See you at the polls? See you at the polls.
