unfortunately tumblr is following the trend that other social media sites are going through – that being becoming more irritating to use so while i won’t *stop* using tumblr i’ll definitely be a lot less active than i used to be
i’ll also start being more active on cohost, pillowfort, and (hopefully) toyhouse
this is sort of my love letter to jet lag. i heard the song, having never done video editing before, and like a week later i had this. hope you all enjoy <3 song is night train to saint petersburg by abney park
Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.
also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)
If the site is particularly badly designed, you might just be able to delete the overlay itself. Right click > Inspect element and delete the line of HTML (it’ll be highlighted automatically)
hey kids there is a website called outline.com that will let you read from pretty much any news site with a paywall for free
outline.com is amazing - it hasn’t failed yet on any site that I’ve tried it on.
Look, these are all Cool Facts, but it doesn’t change the fact that most people won’t go to this level of trouble, and that those people are more and more likely to get radicalised by all of the right-wing media who aren’t behind pay walls.
