Your traffic probably is international to start? You may be getting traffic that is from overseas where user has poor English skiils and moreover, with this sort of bouce rate, the content you offers does not fit well with the traffic driven to it. Look over what you use for linking to get traffic to site, is it totally relevant to where users land on your site?

I've seen his site and tumblr. your traffic is probably bots. It seems like you have almost no activity on your tumblr (no notes on your post linking to your site), and I've seen an article with more than 80 bot comment.
Try and develop your site with real traffic and real followers and it will decrease the bounce rate.

Is your website mobile friendly? Most tumblr users are using mobile devices. This was a problem I had for months, the day I added a mobile friendly plugin on wordpress my bounce rate started to get cut in half.
just do a search for mobile friendly on wordpress

Maybe visitors don't find useful information from your site . you should focus on niche market. You will have low bounce rate .

I lean in with SnoopyDrew on this. If you are redirecting mobile traffic for example this can effect your SEO with Big G, but also your bounce rate can be significantly skewed. If it turns out to be bots, you can probably get one of the bounce plugins or standalone php apps to artificially lower your bounce rate.
Generally speaking, if its not bot traffic and/or a hit for redirection schemes - content tends to be poor or not fulfilling the visitors expectations. As tavaX suggested though - there is a good chance there is no real traffic interacting with your site so by considering the bounce rate you are basically asking the question "why do bots that mostly click links and leave a site keep leaving my site?" Better get some real traffic, and remove any clunky or questionable redirect scripts/functions.
