roughentumble :

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

nightpool :

i have a private pinned post that just has a link to this dashboard on it, it's great. two dashboards for life

cyle :

wow! i was really hoping someone would organically reverse-engineer this and find that dash.

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

Posts from your "crushes"

"What you missed" (will be empty if you already visit Tumblr every day)

"Trending"

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.

These are a compilation of tweets I found and saved on my phone as reminders for when I feel like I need to feel validated or reminded that I am a worthy person no matter what, and I thought you guys might need those too (part 1)

Deep down you just want to be loved in a way that calms your soul.

blindfoldcity :

Direct byproduct of being neurodivergent and growing up isolated from your peergroup is having no idea when it's appropriate to define someone as your friend

blindfoldcity :

Is this person I met yesterday my friend? What about this person I've been talking to every day for three months? What about this person I've known since middle school? Is friend a title I have to earn? What are the limits of friendship? Is it a static state, make-or-break, or is it some endless dance-dance-revolution style cavalcade of prompts and challenges and social cues I have to hit perfectly to keep it up? Does it bend? Does it break? I don't fucking know man I just work here.

dubiousculturalartifact :

i still remember when the dude doing my autism assessment asked me how many friends I had, and I was like "okay but how are we defining friendship?" and he just like, stared at me for a second and then wrote down some notes

Not to be sappy but gay lust is so healing. Yes I said lust, not love. That too though.

theramblingvoid :

Why don't I hear more about undead beings coming back to warn people? It's always zombies wanting to drag people down to join them in the grave, ghosts seeking vengeance, spirits trying to chase people out of their domains - but if you died horribly and were left rattling around some spooky mansion for eternity, wouldn't you want to stop people from blundering into the same death you had?

You feel a cold breath on your neck as you get in the car. It won't leave until you fasten your seatbelt. An unseen force catches your foot as you pass the fourth step every time you walk up the stairs. During a renovation, you find out the wood is rotten. You can never find a pack of cigarettes - even ones guests bring disappear from their pockets and are found weeks later on the lawn, empty. Your daughter is giggling and laughing at something unseen, chasing after it away from the cliffside on your family hike. You don't know why, but you feel compelled to leave a spare hairband and some stickers on a picnic table as you leave the park. Tribute? A thank you? The items are gone by next time you visit, and you swear a happy child's hum follows you home on the breeze.

...More preventative hauntings. It just makes sense.

For some people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

karnivil :

Man the way life only started for some of my friends when they hit 20+ because they came from abusive households. Some of them hit 30 and started healing enough to have fun. My uncle hit 40+ and published his first book and he was so excited.

After 25 my brain stopped being such a noisy mess. Life definitely isn’t over after 21. Infact, anything before 21 is a fucking clusterfuck.

I just think it’s important to understand that “you’re always going to be mentally ill” isn’t the same thing as “you’re always going to be unhappy”

unpretty :

lmao at mozilla having to be like “not only did we not get rid of the fox in our logo but if all the people yelling at us actually use our browser they should have known that 🤔”

unpretty :

this one’s real though

ms-demeanor :

lol, i’d been wondering if i’d missed an update or something.

ANYWAY i fucking love how that firefox article discusses memes as a part of the misinformation news cycle. Good. Correct. 

Also please install firefox please, i’m begging you. The reason all of your school sites and work sites and whatever can insist on only working in chrome browsers is because there’s no diversity in the browser market and you should be using firefox because it is GOOD and on almost every computer it’s going to be as fast or faster than chrome (nearly TEN YEARS AGO there was an issue with firefox being somewhat slower but that isn’t the case anymore) and the extensions are wonderful and it now has native tracker blocking and you can import all your bookmarks and

!!!!!!! There is an extension called Auto Tab Discard that sleeps tabs you haven’t looked at in a set amount of time to save your computer’s resources!!!!!

And also firefox is free and open source and it is not a giant advertising engine, like, i posted the other day about the sponsored sites thing but you can turn that off with two clicks, how much fucking effort does it take to get chrome to stop pushing fucking google products at you fuck chrome FIREFOX IS SO FUCKING GOOD PLEASE USE IT AND HELP TO BREAK GOOGLE’S NEAR MONOPOLY ON THE BROWSER MARKET

Also you can install firefox mobile on your phone and put ublock origin on it and you can block browser ads in your phone like I have no idea why everyone isn’t already doing that I haven’t seen a browser ad in fucking YEARS (you can watch youtube in your browser ad free. Why are you still looking at ads? I’m so confused)

In Conclusion Please Use Firefox.

ms-demeanor :

1 - to all of the people sharing desktop computers with parents and spouses and siblings I feel you. HOWEVER! Just because your mom is using chrome doesn’t mean you have to! Your computer is almost certainly capable of running two browsers at once and if that’s slowing it down you can set firefox so that it automatically reloads all your windows and tabs after you close it

2 - Seriously just run multiple browsers if you need chrome for school or whatever then use chrome for school only and don’t give google a second more of your day than you can absolutely help.

3 - I forgot to mention how amazing multi account containers are. Basically firefox lets you create account containers like “work” and “shopping” and “personal” so I’ve got my work’s amazon account open in one tab so that the behavior and cookies from that account don’t follow me all over the internet. I’ve got three different tumblr accounts logged in right now. Read all my free articles for [insert publication i’m certainly not going to pay for *cough* the atlantic *cough*] this month? Open in new container tab. Going on Facebook (disgusting) only in facebook container.

Also here are the basic extensions I use:

Ublock Origin - i like it better than adblock because it doesn’t whitelist ads

Mind the time - always good to know i’ve spent four hours and forty seven minutes on tumblr and should really log off

Multi Account Containers - See above

Facebook container - Put facebook and facebook products in facebook jail

Decentraleyes - keeps you from being tracked by content delivery networks (fuck google)

Privacy Badger - prevents tracking (fuck google)

Auto tab discard - sleeps tabs that aren’t in use; can be set to discard tabs after a certain period, saves computer resources

HTTPS Everywhere - ensures secure connections

Bitwarden - just a really fucking good open source password manager and the extension is great in firefox.

unpretty :

if you share a computer that you can’t/don’t want to keep an install of your preferred browser on you can also use the portable edition and install it on a flash drive to keep with you at all times which i do so that i can have a separate virtual desktop open at work with discord and inoreader tabs i used to use it a lot at the university library so i could access my shit without logging in to my stuff in a strange browser on a strange computer

i also use firefox’s built-in pocket integration a lot because a lot of paywalled articles you can actually just. add to pocket. and read them there in their entirety. like idk if that’s how it’s supposed to work but for most of them it works.

also xkit for firefox is a thing and so is library extension

noxelementalist :

Okay, so I agree with all of this, but can one of you Firefox fans tell me how to effectively get my job’s IT to allow me to install it on my job’s assigned Chromebook?!?

Like, I got it on my work desktop- no problem there- but that’s because it was Windows and they were like “eh, go ahead.” But remote work? Nope!

unpretty :

i haven’t looked at a chromebook in years but iirc the whole point is that instead of having an operating system or any actual software or local files a chromebook literally just runs chrome. it’s just all a chrome browser. so you can’t install firefox because a chrome browser is your whole operating system.

elemecca :

You can get Firefox on a Chromebook, although Google would really rather you didn’t so it could be easier. Mozilla has an entire page about it.

On any fully-updated Chromebook you can install the Android version of Firefox from the Google Play Store. It’s a mobile app, but depending on how you use your browser it may be good enough.

If you’re an administrator on your Chromebook you can also install the desktop version of Firefox, but it requires jumping through some hoops.

laughingfish :

I use the trick of adding paywalled articles to Pocket ALL THE DAMN TIME. highly recommend.

This is an EXTREMELY blessed post! And accurate! When I first moved out I was so excited for my new place I slept on the floor and had my tv there and that was it. Loved it. You grow and you build and you gain and you lose. I lost that place and everything in it. Now I have a new place with new things and it’s very much home.

dexdefyingstunts :

In the future, there is a small, quiet room that is just yours, where you are safe and you are free. In that room your shoulders will finally start to come down from around your ears.  Nobody can come into that room unless you let them.  In that clean quiet place, you will work and you will study.  You will love and you will heal.
