Hello, Tumblr. This is a badges update.

Just popping in to tell you about all the nifty badges you can get to decorate your blog these days. You, too, could be the proud owner of The President’s Shoelaces (authentic, we promise), the Rainbow Crab, or the extra special Supporter Badge subscription that changes color as your support progresses. Here’s a full list of all the shiny knickknacks you can currently purchase from TumblrMart:

That’s all for now! Enjoy mixing and matching your badges to your heart’s content! What’s more, if you have an idea for a badge you’d like to see, get in touch with us, and we’ll see what we can do about that!

Tumblr Tuesday: Speculative Species

Did you hear? They've found the golden mole! It still exists! It just took a break from being perceived. What a mood. Here are some other animals that totally exist, too. Just your very normal collection of animal art, really. This is one of those where you'll want to click through on the attributions below the art. For context. For transformation. For taxonomy. It's all there. The level of detail for these friendly animals that definitely exist is quite unhinged in the best way.

Tumblr Tuesday: Art of the Dark

Hello, this is another Tuesday and another round-up of incredible art. This week, we're taking a little break from all the fanart to yell about some of the original art that happens every single minute in this blue playground we all share. As the days draw in (up here in the northern hemisphere, at least), and the darkness comes ever earlier, let's take a moment to enjoy the whimsy and magic darkness brings to art. Here's some good art with a nighttime theme.

Post+ is going away in January 2024.

We originally introduced Post+ to uplift and support the vast swathes of incredible creators here on Tumblr. It was intended as a way for creators to offer content to their followers in a paid subscription format. 

Well, it didn't land as we'd hoped. We've heard your feedback and monitored usage, and after much consideration, we've decided to remove Post+ from Tumblr.

Here's the timeline:

And, while Post+ is going away, Tipping is here to stay. You can enable Tipping via your Blog Settings on web (Account Settings on mobile). Once a blog has Tipping enabled, any original post can receive a Tip, with the money going directly to the creator. 

Tumblr Tuesday: Lokius Brainrot

Loki fandom, how we doin'? This post set out to be about that Loki show that features Loki and all his friends and enemies. But it has descended fairly speedily into a Loki, Mobius, and Lokius art collection only. So, sure, Miss Minutes and Sylvie have made it on here, but only just. You're all doing great. We've not included some of the…spicier works; you'll just have to go find them for yourselves if you haven't already. (Also, please beware: if you have not yet seen season 2, do not proceed with your scrolling. Visually, at the very least, spoilers lie ahead.)

Tumblr Tuesday: HOW many nights??

Well, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie has been out for two and a half weeks, and you're all showing no signs of calming down about it. And why should you? Whether you've seen the film already or you're still psyching yourself up for it, please enjoy this (to longtime fans of the game at least) largely spoiler-free FNAF art. Thank you, as always, to all Artists on Tumblr whom we're so lucky to witness creating art for each and every one of our blorbos. Even the purple ones.

Tumblr Tuesday: Our Flag Means Fanart

OFMD fans, how we doing? To celebrate this season's high tides, here’s some art of our most beloved crew.

Avast, ye! Here be spoilers! We tried to be so restrained that it hurt a little bit, and then we gave up. If you’re caught up but haven’t yet checked out all the fanart, what are you doing may we gently nudge you in that direction. If you haven't been watching season 2, please enjoy it at your leisure, and only then return to this excellent array of art.

Tumblr Tuesday: Baldur's Blorbos

Well, it's October, and you're all continuing to be completely normal about Baldur's Gate 3.

Here's your roundup of a tiny fraction of the stunning art out there.

Tumblr Tuesday: Autumnal Art

With Mabon just gone and October on the horizon, the Artists on Tumblr are out here cranking up the whimsy and contributing to our sense of seasons passing. We're just here to till those fertile, creative soils and whet your appetites for a little something just around the corner 👀. So, keep a beady peeper on @art around the beginning of October, and in the meantime, enjoy some cozy autumnal art.

Tumblr Tuesday: Fionna and Cake!

Who hasn't at some point wished to be whisked from the mundane trudge of work into myriad worlds of wonder and magic?

..........

While we await that fortuitous occasion for ourselves, we'll enjoy the story of those who have indeed been whisked—and the art you've all made along the way. This is a Fionna and Cake fanart roundup.

(Be warned, fellow travelers: very mild spoilers ahead.)

Tumblr Supporter badge: Show your loyalty with Pizazz

Many of you have asked for a way of supporting Tumblr that works like regular donations. Well, this is that, with a little whimsy thrown in for good measure. Imagine. A badge that gets shinier and shinier with your continued support—and helps Tumblr stay Tumblr. 

Enter the Tumblr Supporter badge. Part of a move towards a more user-led business model, this is a new auto-renewable subscription that allows you to wear your support of Tumblr in style. 

How it works:

The Tumblr Supporter badge is a special badge that works like a recurring donation subscription service. As a supporter, you get a specially designed badge based on how long you have been supporting Tumblr in this way. Your supporter badge will evolve from Steel to Copper, Gold, Platinum, and, eventually, Oil Slick. As your support continues, you will collect these badges at each milestone, to be displayed as you choose on any of your blogs.  

There are two subscriptions, monthly and yearly: 

Pricing:

More details:

That’s all for now. We hope you enjoy this new badge as much as we enjoyed coming up with it, so we can keep making odd little tchotchkes for you to enjoy. Stay weird, Tumblr <3 

tumblr tuesday: smaugust

Well, August truly is the month of art challenges. And, as you well know, we love a good dragon as much as the next guy. So today, we bring you another roundup, this time of Smaugust. Please enjoy this Smaugust and Smaugust-adjacent art. Just look at these dragons. LOOK AT THEM.

(a small warning that, yes, here be dragons. But also other beasties that look like bugs, mushrooms, or something else you might not like to look at. Proceed with caution, fellow traveler &lt;3)

Thanks for all of the recent feedback around Community Labels being incorrectly applied to content. In particular, we appreciate the input we’ve received from the LGBTQIA+ community and understand the frustrations from folks who felt that their content was unfairly labeled. When we realized this was happening, we immediately investigated and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

The LGBTQIA+ community makes up about a quarter of the Tumblr community. It is important for us to support all Tumblr users, especially those whose safe spaces are under threat in certain parts of the world.

As you know, alongside of the rollout of Community Labels we also expanded the types of content allowed on Tumblr as a way to welcome more creativity, art, and self-expression. Our goals remain the same today. Human error happens and we apologize to anyone who has been impacted by these mistakes.

We are working to better understand what happened and will follow up with more information soon.

tumblr tuesday: doggust!

It’s still August, so you still have time to join a little art challenge. @Dogsinaugust’s “goodest drawing challenge in all the land,” a.k.a. Doggust, has plenty of bangers yet to come, including the noble Poodle, the slinky Dachshund, and the longest Borzoi boy. So, get those pens, pencils, and paintbrushes out, and join the pack! Here are some of this year’s excellent puppers, hounds, and floofs, brought to you by the ever excellent Artists on Tumblr.

tumblr tuesday: yeehawgust!

Gee up! We’re already halfway through this year’s Yeehawgust, but there’s still time to take part. Did you know cowboys would move cattle roughly 15 miles in a day so as not to wear their charges out or make ’em too skinny? Did you know the all-important camp cook was sometimes referred to as the “biscuit shooter,” “belly cheater,” or “bean master?” Did you know cowboys would often sing to their sleepy cattle to soothe them at night?

Whether you’re the strong and silent type scanning the horizon or the joker of the group perpetually playing pranks and your harmonica by the fire, strap on your chaps, tilt your hats just so, and swing yourselves into your saddles. This is your Yeehawgust roundup.

Hello, crab fans. Wow, you have been having a busy time! On July 29, also known as Crabs Day, you took to TumblrMart to give the gift of crabs to your pals. And boy, did we notice—not just all the great crab memes and trending posts on the day but also the burst in sales which made up a substantial financial boost to the running costs at Tumblr. And it truly took our breath away.  

We got so excited we went back to the drawing board and designed some crab checkmarks, which we teased by dressing your regular checkmarks up as crabs on the day. On August 1, we launched a regular little crab checkmark and a rainbow crab checkmark for gifting and treating yourselves.

Here are some stats from Crabs Day:

All this money goes straight back into running costs—such as a month’s worth of power costs for Tumblr application servers. That’s all you! You’re doing that! You’re keeping Tumblr around with your generosity toward your friends. Crabs be thanking ye ❤
