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:

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/what_you_missed

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/trending

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/for_you

I accidentally clicked on stuff for you without realizing it the other day and just spent awhile scrolling and totally lost. Who are all these people that I haven’t followed? 😅

(note to self: stuff to look into)

I hate how relevant this 44 year old new wave song is.

Never ever forget how Trump and MAGA lied, invaded the Capitol, and killed people.

Entire Right Wing believed the lie, knew it was a lie, and then used terror/violence to advance the lie.

The real evil in this country is not just the insurrectionists and their allies in Congress, but the media amnesia that nurtured a submissive Republican electorate.

'Small Horned Owl on Maple Branch under Full Moon' by Utagawa Hiroshige, 1832

seems like there's a whole genre of:

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

I'm fairly confident that this is now the one original post I've made that has gotten the most notes, and I honestly couldn't be happier. the more attention we give this, the higher the chances that someone will see this and donate. medical debt is both one of the most crushing things a person can deal with and one of the stupidest things humanity has invented. and if you live in the US, I have no doubt that you've had to deal with medical debt in your life, either for yourself or a loved one. even a small donation can do so much good, and now is the time of year when we are encouraged to think of others.

Can’t believe Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in the 2000s

And in 2015 Emily Brontë released literary clsssic Wuthering Heights

Thank God someone paved the way for them…

if you think jk was the first woman author, you don’t actually care about women authors.

Mary Shelley didnt fuck on her parents graves for this level of disrespect

Murasaki Shikibu didn’t invent the novel for this.

Christine de Pizan did not sit down at her desk and write The Book of the City of Ladies, advocating for women’s education and finding value in women of all social classes and backgrounds, in 1405 for this.

🎶SHAHARIZADE HAD A THOUSAND TALES🎶

This……….isn’t even true in 20th century fantasy or childrens books? Pierce, Lackey, Applegate, McCaffrey, Bradley, Butler, whomst?

Casual reminder that

And do I even need to mention what a badass pioneer Ursula Le Guin was for women author in the fantasy/sci-fi genre?

Not to mention Agatha Christie is literally second only to Shakespeare in terms of works sold – 4 billion compared to JKR’s paltry 500 million 

Mary Shelly did what

Mary.Shelly.Lost.Her.Virginity.On.Her.Parent’s.Grave.

Mary Shelley lost her virginity on her mother’s grave. Her father was still very much alive.

She did what now?

We have female authors who published before Rowling here on Tumblr. @dduane, for example! I read her Star Trek novels from the 80s and 90s as a kid/teen.

Octavia E. Butler wrote probably the most accurate dystopian novel in the form of Parable of the Sower.

I was a book nerd 90s kid who lived in the fantasy/scifi sections of the library and off the top of my head I can think of three male authors I was reading. The child and teens fantasy/scifi author list before Rowling took off was overwhelmingly female.

fuck JK Rowling

read Margaret Atwood and Ursula Le Guin

hell, even Madeleine L'Engle

The polar opposite of corporate accounts trying to come across as hip and super friendly are the ones for libraries, aquariums, parks systems and the like, that are basically just trying to get people excited about learning and the wonder of history/science by posting things like this:

You know how much I would lose my mind if I was at an aquarium and turned a corner to see a wild ass heron staring at a fish tank

This site lets you check the status of your ballot. DO IT, regardless of how you voted.

There are record numbers of ballot challenges and "invalid" ballots. You have the right to cure your ballot.

Even if it won't change the outcome of the Presidential race, the down-ballot items still matter.

And even if it won't change the outcome of any race, YOUR VOTE MATTERS. Make sure it counts.

“what the fuck” is an emotion now and its the only one i have

do something nice for yourself today, ideally MORE than one thing, but at least one.

it can be as small as making a cup of tea with a flavor you like or taking a second to sip on your coffee, really pay attention to how it tastes and the feeling of the warm cup in your hands.

take an extra break at work. take it in the bathroom if you have to, but give yourself that extra time. deep breaths.

get a little snack. something that you might not normally allow yourself.

you know, when i say i want the future to look like star trek, i mean the post-monetary socialist utopia with food replicators and infinite diversity in infinite combinations

not world war iii

So this is what it feels like to hate 72 million people...
