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

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

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

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

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.

#mutuals: pls know i'm reading all your tags and laughing at your jokes and approvingly thinking '[username] is so cool'

self-compassion: an antidote to shame mb

If you hate someone enough to start documenting everything they do online, then you need to log off. If you cannot open your social media without thinking about the person you hate, then you need to log off. If you feel compelled to insert yourself and your hatred in every mention of that person, no matter how brief, then you need to log off. If your entire online identity revolves around hating someone and sharing posts from other people about how much they hate them, then you need to log off.

"But it's totally justified! Look at what they're doing!" is the mindset of every single stalker. Your reasons don't matter. It's stalking, and it's wrong. This goes double for any marginalized person, especially trans people.

This is genuinely so evil

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Around 55,000 men are diagnosed with each year, and 12,000 men die from it in annually in the UK. That the government is being advised to deny people even the option of knowing whether they have it is such a huge step back for medicine.

@doberbutts this feels relevant to the stuff you talk about, even if it's not specifically about trans black men.

Unfortunately black people being abandoned by medical staff is nothing new:

Black women are 3-4 times as likely than white women to die in pregnancy and childbirth. Black women are also twice as likely to develop diabetes and preeclampsia, 40% more likely to die from breast cancer, 40% more likely to develop and 75% more likely to die from cervical cancer, 20% more likely to be pushed into a C-section and overall receive nearly 30% less anesthesia and pain control than white women.

It is just sort of common knowledge that hospitals are to black women as police are to black men. Except police do target and kill black women, and hospitals do neglect and dismiss black men, as well.

You should look up the Tuskegee Syphilis Study sometime. You'll see that this is hardly the first time a country's government has deliberately played eugenics with black men's health.

"gender is a social construct": fairly easy for leftists to understand

"race is a social construct": a bit harder to swallow for some but still reasonable

"mental illness is a social construct": this one gets you hate mail in your inbox

Gotta add previous tags on here, because this is gonna live rent free in my head from now on. The stars are real, constellations are not. Damn. Tags by @smoreofbabylon (if you don’t want me to put you on blast like this I’ll delete lol!)

"the stars are real, but the constellations are socially constructed"

For anyone keeping up with the Stranger Things "secret good finale" conspiracy (yes, it is just the Sherlock "secret good episode" thing with a new show.) the current theory is that tomorrow, in place of SNL, the actual finale of Stranger Things will air. They are presenting this as something plausible, and not something that Lorne Michaels would have beaten the Duffer Brothers to death over if they even suggested it.

The stranger things finale is going to drop on Martin Luther King Jr Day because Stranger Things embodies the values of MLK

YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

Theodor would approve.

People keep acting like gerrymandering is the only form of voter suppression. Privileged blue state sapphire city urban queers living in relative safety telling everyone else their vote doesn't matter and both parties are the same is also a form of voter suppression.

back when i was like 13 in english we read of mice and men and then we had to write a letter from the perspective of one of the main characters in it as homework. fun task! i liked creative writing. i picked lennie and purposefully wrote in simple, kind of broken sentences and made a couple spelling errors that were very clearly intentional (think 'wuz' instead of 'was') to show, yknow, it's lennie writing it, he's not gonna be out here writing elaborate prose. and then MRS BURTON MARKED ME DOWN FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR. and said i should use MORE COMPLEX SENTENCE STRUCTURE. i am now 28 years old and my blood still boils thinking about this
