🌟 New

• We’ve rolled out dashboard tab configuration options to everyone. We’re still working on adding the ability to change the default tab between Following and For You. Also, if you were in the experiment and had enabled certain tabs, like Popular Reblogs and Blog Subs, please note that those settings have moved back to the Tumblr Labs settings, instead of being configurable options in the new config screen.
• We’ve deployed some performance and stability improvements for browsing feeds through the site, including the ability to truly handle endless scrolling. If you disabled endless scrolling in your dashboard preferences on web because it was laggy, give it another try! If you disabled it because you like paged browsing better, keep on keeping on! You’ll still benefit from these improvements.
• We’re working on improving search across Tumblr, and one of our latest experiments is to try surfacing posts in search results based on image recognition. If you search for something on Tumblr and it returns a bunch of images that aren’t actually related to what you searched for, and have no other text or tags to indicate why you’re seeing it, please send us some feedback via Support about it, providing the search term you used and what posts didn’t make sense.
• In the post editor on web, you can now choose to convert a link block down to an inline text link if you’d like, via the meatball menu on the link block that’s generated when you paste a link.
• We’re shortening the ask button label maximum length to 26 characters, and providing better error messages when exceeding that limit.
• Replies/reblogs/likes from blogs that have blocked the author, or the author has blocked, will no longer appear in the notes view on your posts for anyone.
• We’re now filtering asks and submissions from blogs that have blocked the receiver.

🛠 Fixed

• We fixed an issue on the Following and For You tabs that was sometimes causing it to take 10+ seconds to load subsequent pages as you scroll.
• In the post editor on web, we’ve fixed a variety of issues with copying and pasting and selecting text.
• Clicking to like a post while logged out, and then logging in, now brings you back to the post, instead of bringing you to Explore.
• When uploading media in the post editor on the web, the “Post” button stays disabled until the media finishes uploading.
• Removing a reblog or reply from the notes on your post removes the associated activity item as well.
• Folks can no longer mention blogs that they’ve blocked or are blocked by — this was already covered in most circumstances, but we’ve fixed a few rare cases that have popped up where people have gotten around it.

Coworker pronounced gigabyte as “jigabyte” today and I’ve never seen a room full of engineers so immediately ready to fight

I suggest you go to Google Translate (or similar of your preference) and listen to how gigas is pronounced in its original Greek, then how it is pronounced in our general bridge language, Latin, and then you’ll know why your coworker (and every romance language) is actually pronouncing it right :P

Addendum: that Greek root is also the root of English words Giant and Gigantic. So it’s perfectly consistent with English itself to pronounce it jigabyte.

Tumblr Supporter badge: Show your loyalty with Pizazz

Many of you have asked for a way of supporting Tumblr that works like regular donations. Well, this is that, with a little whimsy thrown in for good measure. Imagine. A badge that gets shinier and shinier with your continued support—and helps Tumblr stay Tumblr. 

Enter the Tumblr Supporter badge. Part of a move towards a more user-led business model, this is a new auto-renewable subscription that allows you to wear your support of Tumblr in style. 

How it works:

The Tumblr Supporter badge is a special badge that works like a recurring donation subscription service. As a supporter, you get a specially designed badge based on how long you have been supporting Tumblr in this way. Your supporter badge will evolve from Steel to Copper, Gold, Platinum, and, eventually, Oil Slick. As your support continues, you will collect these badges at each milestone, to be displayed as you choose on any of your blogs.  

There are two subscriptions, monthly and yearly: 

• Monthly: Start at Steel and progress through the different badges at each milestone, eventually reaching the coveted Oil Slick.
• Yearly: Start at Platinum (it’s like you’ve jumped ahead a year. Look at you, cheating time). You’ll progress straight to Oil Slick at your next payment milestone after a year.

Pricing:

• Tumblr Supporter Monthly: $2.99
• Tumblr Supporter 3 Months: $7.99 ($1 OFF)
• Tumblr Supporter 6 Months: $15.99 ($2 OFF)
• Tumblr Supporter Yearly: $29.99 (15% OFF)

More details:

• This monthly or yearly subscription will renew automatically at each interval unless you choose to cancel. 
• If you cancel your subscription or a payment fails, you’ll still have your badge, but it won’t show up unless/until you restart your subscription. If/when you do so, you’ll pick up right from the badge level you were at when you ended your subscription.
• This is currently being rolled out for mobile and web in English. We’ll be rolling out to other territories in the coming weeks.

That’s all for now. We hope you enjoy this new badge as much as we enjoyed coming up with it, so we can keep making odd little tchotchkes for you to enjoy. Stay weird, Tumblr <3

still thinking about the brainrot that fast fashion has caused in people, like i made this pair of pants that are black and white with a cool flowery design, and an acquaintance saw them and said “wow i’d pay like 20 dollars for you to make me a pair” and i could barely think with how utterly horrified i was at that; i told them that 20 dollars wouldn’t even cover the materials, let alone the hours of work that went into cutting, sewing, ironing, hemming, altering, etc. they just had this look on their face when i told them that, when i said i wouldn’t make them a pair for even 100 dollars because that was still way too low of an amount, a look that said “you’re crazy for thinking that those cost 100 dollars” and maybe i am crazy but holy shit, 20 dollars for a pair of handmade, durable, lined pants fitted specifically to your measurements? 20 dollars for upwards of 60 hours of work? 20 dollars for several yards of high-quality fabric, thread, and buttons? 20 dollars???

extremely funny when AI artists feel the need to put watermarks on their images

like oh you’re worried about misattribution and image theft huh. you’re worried that someone’s gonna take the image you made and claim it as their own. or strip away the context and your name. or use it in ways you didn’t consent to. boy that sure would suck huh. i bet that would feel really bad. i bet that would be really annoying. i b
