Dissertation Research: Tumblr, Language, & Political-Ethical Practice

whyarewewlwlikethat:

Hi
Tumblr!

I’m a
graduate student in linguistic anthropology conducting doctoral
dissertation research – the focus of which is the different ways people use
language on specific social media platforms and how that relates (or not) to
political and ethical stances and practices.

I’ve created
a questionnaire that asks about political-ethical stances, Tumblr, and language and I would
absolutely love to get as many responses as possible.

Therefore,
if you are at all interested, I would be delighted if people would click
through the link below and take my questionnaire 😀 If you can’t or aren’t interested in
taking the questionnaire right now, but would be willing to reblog this post or share the link with any friends who use Tumblr, that
would also be much appreciated!

Click here to access the questionnaire on Tumblr, Language, & Political-Ethical Practice!

**For those of you who took my preliminary survey last year, this is a more fleshed
out version with
some additional and restructured questions. I would be delighted if you
completed this one as well. However, if the idea of doing another survey

sounds just the worst (which, fair enough lol), but you do still want to
participate in my research, simply follow the link and choose the third

option on the introductory page. That will send you to the final page
where there is a list of other ways to participate in this project and
you can check off those in which
you might be interested.

Have any
questions?

More
details can be found on the questionnaire itself and on my FAQ page. You are also welcome to email me (howdoyoutmblr at gmail dot com) or send me an ask/message on my blog.

THANK YOU
<333 I am so grateful for any responses that I get and so excited to hear all of your thoughts about this topic!

Hey, everyone! This person is doing an awesome research on a topic I, myself, have been wondering about so if you have some time to kill totally check this out! They need about 2000 responses so let’s hit that goal!!! 💪💪💪

44 45 48 for the lesbian asks!! :O

Ellaaaa my fav froggy friend!!!! 

44: Who was your first lesbian crush? i had a ton of crushes in elementary but dont really remember any of them…. then i had a massive crush on a girl when i was in middle school (literally writing things like “my only wish is that i could be her boyfriend..” and somehow not realizing i was either being super gay or super trans (or both)….). her name was Rebecca and she was a talented singer and dancer (i have a thing for extrovert artsy girls lmao). i really had so many crushes without realizing i was gay…….. the first conscious crush i had was on someone who later turned out to be a trans boy (oopsie – he still presented as a girl when we met) and he didnt like me back! 

actually, now that i think about it, i fell for 2 pre-coming out trans men. must be the gay vibes,,, 

45: At what age did you know you were a lesbian? oh my god this is such a funny thing bc i finally Realized it at 16 like….. it was a super painful period of my life bc to me lesbians were the most monstruous kinds of beings like…. to me even pedophiles were better. (i know ://) i felt so gross and so ashamed, and as Hannah Gatsby would say, i was “soaking in shame” behind my closet doors lmao. its a good thing there arent (as far as i know) conversion therapy camps in my country bc else id have jumped on the occasion to abuse the lesbianism out of me lmao. also i was deadass convinced i was never going to experience love in my life 

48. Talk about how your day went. well my kitchen sink is clogged so i think im gonna have to do some dirty work later today, i did laundry and im desperately trying to catch up on my school work! else its okay! 

thanks buddy!!
