#welcome back to tumblr

[katy-l-wood]

I've seen a lot of posts welcoming new Tumblr users, but I haven't seen any welcoming old users BACK. So, if you're returning, here's some fun new stuff Tumblr has added. Some of this may be desktop only right now, but Tumblr has been very good about migrating features to mobile without too much delay. I'm also primarily a desktop user, so some buttons may be in different spots on mobile.

You can now turn off reblogs on your posts, even the old ones. Click on the little gear icon at the top of the post window and towards the bottom to set reblogs to "anyone" or "no one."

You can have up to 30 images in a post now! Just be sure to be respectful and tag it as a long post.

Speaking of long posts, you can now set tumblr to automatically shorten anything over a certain length. It's under Settings>Dashboard.

Tumblr now has content labels, which is what has allowed them to bring back mature content art. These are important, so please use them. You can turn them on on each post individually by clicking the "everyone" drop down next to the "post now" button. And you can control how your dashboard shows or doesn't show labeled posts by going to Settings>Account.

You can now filter tags and post content via tumblr itself without using something like XKit! This is also under Settings>Account.

Tumblr offers an ad-free subscription now. $40 a year. If you love this little hellsite, this is a great way to show support!

Tumblr also allows users to pay to turn their posts into ads now. It's called blazing a post. It is great fun and generally hilarious. You have no control over your audience. You're just yeeting your post, of any sort, not just advertising, off into the void. An ad-free subscription hides these posts, but you can in fact turn blazed posts specifically back on while blocking the rest of the ads. Blaze a post by clicking on the little flame icon at the bottom. You can only blaze your own posts.

You can buy fun little tchotchkys for your dashboard and, sometimes, the dashboards of others. Right now we've got crabs, a horse that shits everywhere, and the super special double blue checkmarks. These are just fun little things to play with.

You can now enable tipping on your blog/individual posts. Totally optional, of course, but can be useful if you're a creator.

Staff has been a lot more active this last year, so if you want to keep up with what is going on be sure to follow @staff, @changes, and @wip.

That's all I can think of. Everyone else is free to add to this!

Love how I left tumblr for a solid 4 years only to come back and dive head first back into a House MD obsession.

wow so it’s been a minute since i’ve been on tumblr… i honestly forgot it existed because i’ve been using instagram more lately 🥲

i am sad to say that i completely forgot about ever after high AGAIN- still excited and it’s on the list ok-

basically i don’t remember anything that isn’t

a) in front of my face

or

b) causing me anxiety

anyways @hoolay-boobs is the reason i remembered this place exists because i got an email notification that they tagged me in a post that was absolute HELL to read in an email format 😭

since we’re all grown now…which one of y’all was in the ball pit?

just redownloaded tumblr for the first time in 4 years and the first thing that popped up on my for you was naruto porn. oh how i missed this place

[sasukexnaruxsakura]

Back to Tumblr because twitter is not like it was before. I think rebranding and messing up twitter is very stupid. I'm glad I reactivate this account.

I will also post some of my art too on here.

(art of Sasuke I don't own I got it from Pinterest)

Well let's see if I can relearn Tumblr.

The more the merrier? Welcome to the tags let's all be hopeless and hopeful together.

Seasons

I can't remember the last time I was on this platform. It's been so long, I can't even remember what password I used.  

Each season marked the start or end of something in my life - my father passed away in the summer two years back, I moved to a new country in the fall of that same year, I got engaged in the winter, got married during the summer of last year, got promoted at work during the fall, and went on hiatus after that. 

And now, it's the fall, and I stumbled across this platform again as I searched for photos I knew I posted. My husband asked me what push present I want, and I'm going to show him exactly where I want him to take us for Christmas. 

The seasons change so fast, don't they? What have you been up to? I hope the past seasons also came with wonderful reasons to celebrate. 

Oh, and yeah, I guess it's safe to say that I'm back. 😁

tumblr needs an algorithm i cannot take anymore psychic damage from walls of text written by 35 year olds who watch teen dramas

[ttc-our-miracle]

Well Tumblr. It’s been a hot minute.

The last time I used Tumblr, I was an angsty, angry teenager. I didn’t know who I was, or how life would turn out for me. I was selfish, and scared, and alone. I was struggling in school. I was struggling with my sexuality. I was struggling with my weight. I wish 17 year old me could see me now. I wish she could see all we’ve accomplished, and all we’ve lost along the way.

But anyway…

Hello! I’m A, and I’m 26. I’m married. I’m orphaned. I have PCOS. And I’m trying to concieve my first child. If your reading this, I can only assume you and I share some kind of background, something that made the algorithm think you’d enjoy my content. And for that, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry you’re struggling with something right now. But perhaps together, we can lighten the load.

Thank you for coming along for the ride.

I’ll talk to you soon!
