How surreal was the #StateofWomen Summit? First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey inspired all 5,000 people at the summit and millions online to BE BETTER. Take your pledge today here.
Huge thanks to Tumblr Creatrs Sam Cannon + Thoka Maer for this cool photo gif!

Tumblr Creatrs Sam Cannon (@samcannon) and Thoka Maer (@thokamaer) were at the United State of Women Summit this week, organized by the White House to marvel at the progress women have made and plan for all the work left to do.
Also in attendance: These two inspirations (crowns and scepters added for emphasis), and this ⬇ familiar ally.
If you weren’t able to attend the main summit, local events are being organized around the US so everyone can get involved.
This Valentine’s Day, #LoveYourself
Hey! There’s a brand new Threadless store from a handful of the Tumblr @creatrs. It’s a place where they can show off and sell their work, with 100% of the profit going directly to the artist. Nice.
This brand new line of Valentine’s Day merch positions the holiday away from romantic relationships and centers it around loving yourself and your friends. Very nice.
There are phone cases, sweatshirts, mugs, towels, notebooks, and a whole lot more, all featuring designs from Creatrs Lunares (@godgolden), Saskia (@saskdraws), Josh LaFayette (@joshlafayette), Marina Esmeraldo (@marinaesmeraldo), and Gabriella Sanchez (@thatnoisegallery).
Oh! And we’re celebrating this launch with a brand new pack of stickers, available in your app right now.
They’re begging to be slapped on your selfies.
Whacha waiting for? Support an artist today.
Get into the Halloween spirit or die trying.
We come bearing the gift of absolutely horrifying Tumblrs.

Never underestimate the power of a creepy curative Tumblr to liven up your dashboard.

Here artist Fran Krause illustrates the scariest thing of all: What happens to childhood relics when time quickly marches forward while we helplessly beg for it to slow down.

Janee is a year round make-up artist who has been serving up some amazing Halloween looks this month. If you’re short on ideas for an upcoming party, she’s one to follow for inspiration.
tumblr today: costumes you’ve conjured
Felicitations, Frankenfolk. We wish you a very Halloween, Tumblr, on this most auspicious of eves. We have, alas, reached the end of the Build a Beast challenge. Today is—as some of the more discerning among you will have noticed—a Monday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Today, we celebrate your costumed critters.
How will you celebrate? If you haven’t yet, check out the entire parade of crafty characters your peers have created. If you’re new to the challenge, you could even have a go yourself if you like. It’s never too late to build a beast (here’s a reminder of week 1, week 2, week 3, and week 4 templates for your convenience). For now, enjoy these:

This is actually a recreation of what many scientists agree really happened during the big bang. The skeleton king let the universe escape from his robe. It was horrid and messy and that’s why you were shielded from the truth.

The best skincare regime is probably not to have skin at all.
