Spread

The site was first featured on Buzzfeed^[5] months after its launch in September 2011. In November, the link was shared on Metafilter^[6] and Feministing.^[7] After its appearance in Buzzfeed's list of the best Tumblr blogs of 2011^[8] published in early December, the blog was featured in Rhode Island's Daily Herald blog.^[9] On December 6th, 2011, Valmassoi did an interview with The Next Web^[4], during which he explained that he started the blog as a place to store all of the captioned animal pictures he had created in one sitting for an ex-girlfriend.

ARE NOT THE THOUGHTS OF THE DYING OFTEN TURNED TOWARD THE PRACTICAL, PAINFUL, OBSCURE, VISCERAL ASPECT? TOWARD THE SEAMY SIDE OF DEATH WHICH IS, AS IT HAPPENS, THE SIDE THAT DEATH ACTUALLY PRESENTS TO THEM AND FORCES THEM TO FEEL, AND WHICH FAR MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES A CRUSHING BURDEN, A DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING, A DESTROYING THIRST, THAN THE ABSTRACT IDEA TO WHICH WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO GIVE THE NAME OF DEATH?
