Dear Meat publishes letters from people to objects

Dear Meat is one of the more creative uses for Tumblr that I've seen recently. It's run by a guy named Matthew Hocker, and it features letters that people have written to things.

Matthew curates the site, so it's not a bunch of random comments. I mean, it's quite random, but the content is interesting and evokes emotion. As I write this, the front page features "Dear Nipples," "Dear Tripod," "Dear People Who Tease Me For Reading All the Time," and more.

It does have some letters to people, too ("Dear sister of my father," for example); they all seem well-written. Some of them are funny, some are sad, and some are just plain boring. Matthew offers no personal interpretation for what he publishes; he just puts the notes up on the site as they are. However, this being Tumblr, you'll find that each note has a small steak underneath it. Click the steak, and you'll get the note's permalink page, which also shows people's "Likes" (I hate that word) and reblogs. All in all, it's a fun little project!
