Tumblr is a virtual goldmine of creative, niche micro-blogs. A few weeks ago, I asked our Twitter followers to recommend their favorite funny Tumblrs, and received a number of endorsements. I rounded up the top recommendations into a short list, guaranteed to distract you for a few hours. Take a look, and let us know if we missed any.

*Fair warning, some of the Tumblrs use colorful language.

• When in Academia
• My Daguerreotype Boyfriend *By far the most popular recommendation by Twitterstorians.
• Our Presidents
• What Should Social Science Grad Students Call Me?
• Life
• Librarian Problems
• BackStory with the American History Guys
• Harry Truman Adventures
