I'm joined by (another) Australian, this one being a graphic designer named Libby Wright (lbtvs on Instagram). Libby is here to educate me on the one topic from Tumblr I've been extremely resistant to learn anything about - Homestuck. We talk about what it was, its e-boy creator, the Homestuck cop, how one Homestuck fan almost died trying to turn their skin grey, and about some Australian spiders, one of which looks like a chicken wing. Yum! 

I Like Your Shoelaces is a deep dive into all the hilarious, surreal and possibly illegal stuff that happened during the blogging platform Tumblr's heyday. Each week, I am joined by a guest to talk about an event or trend from Tumblr that still sticks with us to this day, as well as what they got out of their time on Tumblr and what it meant to them.

Please get in touch with me @michael_cfg on Twitter if you have any feedback or ideas for me to talk about going forward! The intro music is "Drifting Korners" by Joseph McDade and I Like Your Shoelace's logo was designed by the extremely talented Michael Taylor (@michaeldanger19 on Twitter).
