my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

i have a private pinned post that just has a link to this dashboard on it, it's great. two dashboards for life

wow! i was really hoping someone would organically reverse-engineer this and find that dash.

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

these are all just taking existing feeds of content and putting them in a dashboard-like format... the "Stuff for you" tab/feed is the same idea.

I swear if the link in the original post is a virus I'll be so upset.

nope! i hovered over the link and this popped up on the bottom of the browser. here's all the links in order:

Time for all you fucks to see this again!!!!

Meiji period fashion was some of the best in the world, speaking purely from an aesthetic standpoint you can really see the collision of European and Japanese standards of beauty and how their broad agreement even in particulars (the similarity between Japanese and Gibson girl bouffants, the obi vs the corset, the obi knot vs the bustle, the mutual covetousness for exotic textiles, the feverish swapping of both art styles and subjects) combined and produced some of the most interesting cultural exchange we have this level of documentation for. Europeans were wearing kimono or adapting them into tea gowns, japanese were pairing lacy Edwardian blouses with skirt hakama and little button up boots. haori jackets with bowler hats and European style lapels. if steampunk was any good as an aesthetic it would steal wholesale from the copious records we have in both graphic arts and photography of how people were dressing in this milieu.

«The botany professor,» from Kkokei Shimbun, October 20, 1908. she's wearing a kimono blouse or haori, edwardian skirt or hakama, gibson girl bouffant, a lacy high-collar blouse with cravat and brooch, and a pocket watch with chain

1910-1930 (Taishō era, right after Meiji, which I should have included in my OP) men's haori with western lapels

I have a love for both kimonos and bustle dresses, so I love seeing how the two fashions influenced each other over this period.  And thanks to Pinterest, I have pictures!

Victorian tea gown that clearly started as a kimono.  It still has the long furisode sleeves, but now they’re gathered at the shoulder and turned around so that the long open side is facing the front instead of the back.  Similarly the back is taken in with curved seams to fit the torso and pleated below that for the skirt.

Woodblock of a woman in a a bustle dress made with colorful patterned fabrics and examples of how a woman could style her hair with it.

More prints to showcase hairstyles, two women wearing western wear and two women wearing kimonos.

This next one’s modern, but it involves hoopskirts so I’ll add it in because it makes me so happy.  There’s been different styles of wedding fashion that take kimonos and give them a more modern look.  Often this involves taking a kimono and then cutting and resewing it into a new dress.  Very pretty, but it can’t ever be worn like a traditional kimono again.  But now there’s another trend where the bride wears a hoopskirt with a white skirt, then you take the kimono and drape it on.  The back of the kimono covers the front of the dress, the long sleeves fall across the sides or the back, and you still wear an obi with it.  The result is pretty and the kimono itself doesn’t have to be altered at all.

And because you mentioned steampunk, I have to add in these two:

Personally I’m a big fan of Taisho Meisen kimono, which are what happen when the Japanese textile industry abruptly gets access to aniline dyes, new spinning and weaving technology, and the concept of Art Deco:

"GIF is pronounced like this!" "No, GIF is pronounced like that!"

Why? Why do we dwell on this? Why is this our focus when the real villains are out there:

People who pronounce gyro (the food) with a soft g.

i'll say it however the restaurant i am in says it (YEE-ro, GEE-ro, HEE-ro) but i will not fucking say JAI-ro.

they're both pronounced "yiff"

I love how pleased with this whole process he looks.

i think it's really fucking funny actually how they forgot to make the new tumbler web ui scale at all, this shit is tiny as fuck on my 4k monitor

WHY DID YOU MAKE THE POSTS LESS WIDE, LIKE THIS UI IS NOT JUST BUNCHED UP FOR NO REASON IT ALSO SQUISHES THE INBOX AND DASH FOR LITERALLY NO REASON, MY SCREEN IS WIDE USE THAT SPACE

like i wouldnt even care THAT much about the buttons having moved to the left (its a useless change but like yea whatever) if they at least fucking did it in a clean and responsive way and didnt just squish the site even more, there wouldve been a way to do this that wouldve ended up leaving extra space for posts n stuff that isnt there right now but NO

man the site that used to be full of people horny for the onceler now getting really hyped about tree law is some serious poetic irony

Makes this noise at mutuals

At the gay club like

person w adhd experiencing symptoms of adhd: why the fuck can’t I do this thing . I wish there was some explanation for this

i get that i can expect to see the “unreality” tag a lot on my stuff. i post a lot of weird eldritch shit and even when i post something that isn’t it’s still deeply steeped in my nonsense.

but i’m fucking losing my mind at how even my posts that are correct and true will be tagged that. fatal incuriosity is inescapable when you’re me.

my “a coin is a three sided object. never forget that.” post earned an unreality tag at one point

i’m sorry but maybe you’re not the best watchdog for what’s real and what isn’t, champ. i think being the arbiter of reality requires at least a basic understanding of 3d space.

i once posted the south up map in here and someone tagged it unreality… buddy that’s the earth……..

"Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up."

Literally was just thinking about this on the way to work and realized just how cookie cutter popular media has become today and god i hope that the entire industry bubble pops and starts from scratch.

I hope that people start looking to indie artists and discover a whole new world of variety that was hidden to them under a sea of oppressive advertisements. I want to see small studios suddenly flourish and compete with each other instead of stumbling behind in the wake of massive companies. I hope we get more shit like Guillermo del Toro’s Pinnochio and audience backed shows like Critical Role’s animated series. I want shit to get weird again. I want new stories instead of five fucking sequels and an endless ongoing stream of marvel shoved in my face. I want cult classics like Tremors to start popping up again. I want physical media to come back like CDs

I want that goddamn bubble to pop, how did it get this bad

'can i copy your homework?'

'yeah just don't make it obvious'

Since this is an experiment, give your feedback to staff!

And remember to be specific on how this new navigation layout they are experimenting with is not working for you; hating it is one thing, but usability on different devices with different screen orientations, operating system, etc., would be much more impactful and meaningful.
