I sometimes wonder how many people know that you can view the things that other people have liked on tumblr if their theme allows the permission for it.

Tumblr was gone.

I didn’t know what to do with my life.

Holy frak, I just logged myself out of tumblr. 

Only for a second, but WHOA PANIC.

WHAT IF I NEVER GOT BACK IN?

Apparently the tumblr world is throwing a fit being tumblr got nominated for a Teen Choice award 

Seriously, what the fuck, people?

As far as I can tell from the chatter, all of the good people ever to exist are on tumblr and it needs to be kept a secret from the big bad world.  Are you kidding?

Yeah, new people are going to check out the site.  Maybe some more teens will join.  Hey, maybe every teen in the internet-verse will join.  AND THAT’S JUST FINE.  You don’t need to change your blog or the way you enjoy this site because other people discover it.  If you don’t want people finding your blog, then don’t give out your url.  If you’re worried about hipsters and spell-check deprived tweens mucking up your fandom tags with unrelated posts, organize some way to get a new tag for your fandom.  (Yeah.  I suggested that.  You can’t just tell people not to use common words in their tags because it happens to be the name of your show.)

But hey, that’s not the point.  The point is to get down off your high horse and recognize that this is a lovely accomplishment for a good site and a lot of people who really need tumblr in their life might be able to find it because of this recognition.

And if not, well, it’s the internet and you don’t get to own it.

Hey, I just met you… and this is crazy. But here’s my number, so call me maybe? 

HOLY SHIT

This is awesome

dear god this is great

"My life is one endless geek moment."

Look. I found a book that summarizes all of tumblr!

My niece told me that in the wild, hermit crabs travel in giant herds of thousands 

And instantly I thought…

Tag limits: 137 characters per tag, 30 tags allowed in total 

WTF Tumblr 

I understand you want people to pay attention to this censorship bill but…

Seriously?

If I’m interested, I will GO DO IT MY DAMN SELF.

Don’t fucking mess with my dashboard.

Hey folks, you don’t have to steal anyone’s graphics anymore! 

Yes, yes, I understand that you “found it on the internet” and therefore it belongs to you.  But there are some incredibly amazing graphic makers on tumblr (and elsewhere) who put a lot of time and effort and creativity into making their graphics.

AND NOW….

When you find their amazing graphics “somewhere” on the internet, you can now DRAG AND DROP that image into Google’s image search.  If you put just a few minutes of effort into this, you can likely and pretty easily find the ORIGINAL of the graphic and simply reblog it!

My Rules of Tumblr 

1) Your blog is your own.

Do whatever you damn well please with it.

2) Unfollow (and/or use Tumblr Saviour, etc)

If you don’t like what someone posts or how someone runs their blog, you are not required to keep following them.  Nor is it your blog to dictate the content.

3) If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

More accurately: If you don’t feel you can discuss something respectfully, it may be best to avoid bringing up the topic.

What is this thing where you can apparently now post images/gifs in a grid-like format? 

I keep seeing it.  How does it happen?  And why do the images start larger and when I click to englargen, they do this weird pop-up thing?

Get it together, Tumblr 

Stalking my new super ship is very important to me.  So figure out how to make tracked tags work, because it is ABSURD when there are a bunch of posts with a particular tag and you say there are NONE.  I can see it right here on my dash.  What is your problem, Tumblr?

Dear tumblr… 

You make me feel like I’m not a crazy fangirl.

Because there is always someone crazier and more fangirly than me.

It makes me feel totally calm and sane by comparison.

Thank you.
