do you miss twitter’s bookmarking system?

THERE ARE TWO GOOD OPTIONS TO BOOKMARK STUFF ON TUMBLR

one: just tag posts you want to save with the tag “bookmark”. when click on that tag, it should take you to a screen of all the stuff on your blog thats also been tagged with that

  • this might not be for everyone tho as it means all your bookmarks are public since anyone can also click on your tag and look through it

soooooo let me teach yall about the next best thing you can do on tumblr: side blogs!

side blogs are basically blogs without a new separate log in. they don’t have their own password, so you can only get to it through your normal account, but otherwise they work like a normal blog

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN MAKE A SIDEBLOG TO “BOOKMARK” IMPORTANT STUFF FOR LATER:

STEP ONE click the little person icon at the bottom of your homepage (aka dash)

STEP TWO you should see a page like this. click “create a new blog”, type in an available username, and hit enter

your screen should now have another blog listed below your main blog as you can see in the picture

STEP THREE go check out your new blog and customize it to your liking (you might want to make it obvious that this is just for bookmarks so people don’t want to follow)

STEP FOUR click the name of the blog in the top right corner. clicking on it will let you see all of your blogs so you can go back to your main one by clicking on its name

STEP FIVE congratulations you can now bookmark things! whenever you see a post you want to save for later, simply press and hold on the reblog button and select the icon for your SIDE BOOKMARK BLOG, not your main blog

this is what pressing and holding on the reblog button should look like now

YOU NOW HAVE A NICE SPOT TO STORE ALL YOUR BOOKMARKS WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

you can also make your account almost COMPLETELY invisible by clicking the settings icon on your side blog (the tiny gear), going to visibility at the bottom of the options, and turning on both hide options (hide from search results & from people without an account)

look at you tumblr pro :)

I finally switched to firefox and I've seen a lot of posts about the effortless importing of preferences from chrome and how it's important to support non-chromium platforms, but nobody is talking about the loss of productivity that happens when beautiful women come to your house to kiss you on the mouth because they heard you use firefox now. nobody's talking about this

Ive seen multiple posts from reddit refuges that go like "im queer and its so welcoming here!" Or "im nonbinary and dont get quized on my gender here!" Or "im autistic and i can be weird here and yall like it!" And its so fuckin cute its like yes hi hello welcome this is the gay ass autistic website we love special interests we love weird genders we love just saying random shit and the just happy surprised tone of those posts is so wholesome to me like yes! hi! you are in fact the target audience! welcome home

when i was a kid I was really bad (or really good depending on your definition) at hidden object games. which is to say that I would not specifically search for the objects the book asked me to look for. no. that would make no sense. what i instead did was open a spreadsheet

i then proceeded to list every single object in the image in my excel spreadsheet, highlighting the objects the book asked me to find in red as i went. Then, by the end, not only had i found the objects, I had also found and categorized all of the other objects as well. This way, if anyone asked me to find any other objects in that image, i was fully prepared

on an unrelated note i was diagnosed as autistic before third grade

You used the letter a 46 times!!

And 555 letters, so the letter a is about 8.29%

The letter a is on average used about 8.2% of the time, which means you used it more than average!! :)

a-counter you are my best friend and greatest ally

So since Twitter is gone forever how does this app work. What’s the culture like. How does the algorithm work. Do you guys wanna read my essays on how which Taylor Swift songs go with which infinity train characters. I don’t actually care about that last part I’m gonna do it anyways

Honestly though, for some people, Tumblr is going to be a much better option than Twitter. Here if you've got a lot to say, you can usually write it out on a single post instead of constructing a long chain of careful "tweets".

I say usually because I've never really tested the full limits of what can be included on a single blog post.

Also, videos from YouTube fully embed here.

i mean people used to regularly post the entire script of Bee movie so I don't think the character limit is exactly an issue 😄

sorry im actually looking thru my fics and im like. wait. i was so right and smart about all of this.

support group for writers who once they finish and upload things they totally forget about everything that's in it

in my most recent rewatch of glass onion, I noticed yet another background moment! people have already mentioned that you can see birdie’s bag shift when helen tosses the recording device in during the first half of the movie, and miles can be seen putting duke’s gun into the ice bucket, both of which I never would’ve noticed if not for this delightful video, but I haven’t seen anyone mention the fact that benoit blanc actually goes over and looks at the statue with the crossbow onscreen in the background before he ruins miles’ murder mystery.

I can’t find a video to get a screenshot right now, but it’s right when they’re all coming to dinner for the first time. birdie and lionel walk in front, but if you look at the background, at the crossbow statue, you can see benoit heading over to inspect it. this detail isn’t really important, but I love the attention to detail, especially since we got to see both the birdie magazine and the pendant miles was wearing onscreen—both instrumental clues for benoit to ruin the game. birdie was also the only one to draw attention to the chakra on her wristband, though you can see that whiskey has the heart chakra and helen/andi has the root, which are incredibly interesting and insightful/fitting decisions, from a writers standpoint as well as miles’ in-universe relationships with these people.

I just really appreciate the amount of thought that clearly went into every little action in this movie. :)

Ppl on this site do not remember death exists. I love it. ‘Why dont you share direct from Mark Rothko’s socials’ bc he is dead. He died. Ppl do that. They stop being alive after a while pretty famously
