The tweet is the "secondary source" whereas the Tumbler post is the "primary source" in this context[1]:
> For example, suppose you are reading an article by Brown (2014) that cites information from an article by Snow (1982) that you would like to include in your essay. For the reference list, you will only make a citation for the secondary source (Brown). You do not put in a citation for the primary source (Snow) in the reference list. For the in-text citation, you identify the primary source (Snow) and then write "as cited in" the secondary source (Brown).
Regardless of one's preferred style guide, it is odd not to credit the author whose work that led to one's discovery of the inspiration for one's own work.

For the in-text citation, you identify the primary source (Snow) and then write "as cited in" the secondary source (Brown). That's not so you can give credit to Brown for helpfully pointing you toward Snow. It's a requirement that you admit, when you cite Snow, that you never actually read Snow. If you read Brown, find a pointer to Snow, and then read Snow, you don't cite Brown at all.
- orra 4y agoYou keep saying “author”, but putting a screenshot of a Tumblr post on Twitter is stretching the word quite considerably. Besides, the Tumblr post is already a secondary source.
