“My doctor said to stay away from trans fats, so I left tumblr”

Tumblr is a social networking website that has been popular with the LGBTQ community and with people who post recipes. “Trans fats” does not mean “fat transsexuals,” but a joke was posted on Twitter on January 1, 2015:
 
“My doctor said I should stay away from trans-fats. How often can I safely visit tumblr?”
 
“My doctor says it would be best for my health to stay away from trans-fats. I’m really gonna miss tumblr” was posted on Twitter on January 10, 2016. “My doctor advised me to stay away from trans fats. I guess I should really get off Tumblr” was posted on Reddit on July 2, 2016.
 
   
Wikipedia: Tumblr
Tumblr (stylized on its home page as tumblr.) is a microblogging and social networking website founded by David Karp in 2007, and owned by Yahoo! since 2013. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. Users can follow other users’ blogs. Bloggers can also make their blogs private. For bloggers, many of the website’s features are accessed from a “dashboard” interface.
