staff:

In addition to this very official Tumblr Staff blog and our charmingly factual About page, you may already be familiar with our official Engineering blog, which shines a light on technical developments of interest to the Tumblr population. Today we’re rolling out four more departmental Tumblrs showing how we live and work, as well as better communicating with the community about what we’re doing.

The Editorial blog previews stories and features in progress from this new and still secretive organization (have you submitted to the Storyboard tag yet?). The International blog gives you a taste of our globetrotting efforts (did you know Tumblr serves nine languages, with more on the way?). The Ministry of Design represents our aesthetics corps (lately tripled in size and militancy). And the Support blog provides a wealth of tips, insight, and advice about how our friendly little town of 50-million-plus gets on and gets along.

More of these departmental Tumblrs may evolve and appear, and all should be considered works in progress — by turns serious and useful as well as creatively stimulating and amusing. Take a look and let us know what you think.

Name America Underwater
Location Washington, DC

An estimated 11 million American families currently owe more than their homes are worth. A joint project of Rebuild the Dream and The New Bottom Line, America Underwater shares how these families’ dreams are drowning in debt. “If mortgages were reduced to their fair market value—what our homes were worth before the bank-caused recession—we could reset the housing market, reign in unemployment, and put money back into people’s pockets,” reads their mission statement.
