TUMBLR TUESDAY: DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION EDITION
If you didn’t catch all the Republican National Convention coverage last week on our official Election blog, here’s your chance to catch up — and of course, now it’s the Democrats’ turn. New blogger boots on the ground for the DNC include Aminatou Sow, Jason Oberholtzer, and Tag Savage, as well as Tumblr executive editor Jessica Bennett.
A few highlights from the RNC:
Meg Lanker-Simons interviews Meghan McCain
Jayel Aheram Photographs Ron Paul Protesters
Bobby Finger’s Guide to Conventiongoing
And of course special thanks to Hard in the Paint’s “Hope Nails,” pictured above. Make sure to follow the Election blog for everything DNC-related this week, and all things electioneering in the weeks to come.

THE THING Quarterly is a periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors (Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan) to create a useful object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped at a wrapping party and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.
