in 1883 in the first recorded rodeo takes place in pecos, texas. in 2001 rob smets attends the PBR world finals in jeans and a sports jersey bearing sponsor logos. in 1568 the gelosi acting company coalesces in italy to perform the hot new style of live improv entertainment. in 1780 joseph grimaldi makes his stage debut at 2 years old at london’s famed drury lane. in the many, many years before any white person ever laid eyes on it, a man in what you’d now call northern arizona paints his body in black and white stripes and puts corn husks in his hair. in 1557 ivan the terrible is pallbearer to a man who walked naked in the streets of moscow. in 2017 the ringling bro’s circus announces its last show, 146 years after the titular brothers first formed it. all of these moments (and more!) have lived in my head rolling around like marbles for years now and im so happy to now have the proper method to infect your mind as well:
History of Fools is a hobby project of mine i've been working on for over a year now! part essay series, part half-assed podcast, part descent into madness, this little diddy is the culmination of years' worth of highly specific insanity. i have 4 half hour-ish essays/episodes out now reviewing the histories of:
Jesters!
Commedia Dell'arte!
Sacred Clowns and Holy Fools!
and my personal favorite (seriously if you listen to or read any please choose this one) Rodeo Clowns!
I have more episodes planned to get into clowns proper, hoping to come out in 2024. but until then please take a read or a listen and let me know what you think!

I love how tumblr has removed all relevant usability in their app. I love how I can no longer turn my phone sideways so I can actually see whats in a picture or a video. I love how instead of opening a picture to see it more clearly I'm immediately jumped into some cursed tiktok tumblr timeline where if I scroll down I'm shown some completely unrelated stuff. I especially love how this makes one of my sideblogs virtually unusable. I love how getting to someone's blog or to a specific post has become a detective mission to find a teeny tiny place to tap for the app to do something you want to. I love how instead of showing timestamps on posts as an internal feature where it would be in the same language the app is, the timestamps are somehow in the same language your phone is. I love how I've never wanted nothing less than have an app be in two different languages at the same time.
And by love I mean I absolutely loathe it. I have never hated any changes as much as I do these what the fuck is wrong with the people who thought this was a good idea?

absolutely hate that you can't just tap on the middle reblog in a chain and find that post on the poster's blog anymore. Like what if i want to ignore the last 2 unfunny posts on an otherwise good reblog chain. I'm not gonna scroll 3 years back on some random person's blog to find it smh

so like..
is the idea that as a compromise to only having to toggle off tumblr live once a month, you now have this permanent tumblr live icon regardless of ur setting choice stuck to the bottom in the middle of everything in the hopes that i click on it accidentally anyways even though it's clear i don't want it or? where is the NO 100% STOP GIVING ME THIS SHIT I DON'T ACCEPT YOUR POLICIES AND LITERALLY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT TUMBLR LIVE AND WILL NEVER BE INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF FEATURE OR FORMAT.
@zingring @photomatt @humans idk how many feedback requests people have to cut tumblr for "no" to just be a valid response here. ppl aren't dumb and see u inching over the line trying to force this on them despite the snooze choice.
what, are there so many ppl snoozing and such a low adoption rate that you know you need to trick users into using it so you can "make number go up" or? 🙄

tumblr has been insanely glitched for me on desktop the past few days, like? lots of jittering on the page, posts not loading properly (or not appearing at all), and my scroll bar jumping wildly around and not allowing me to scroll after a certain point without it just erratically skipping??
never had this happen before. I know the dashboard unf*cker creator recently chose to cease updating, but I'm not sure if that plug-in is the cause or not. anyone else having this issue with desktop tumblr? it's kinda driving me insane.

Yeah the little mutuals badge was only a desktop thing until now. Makes me sad the notifications looked way better when theyd were highlighted instead of little stickers everywhere.
