“I’ll walk with you” is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that’s romantic as fuck

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.

1. 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.”
2. You can have up to 30 images in a post now! Just be sure to be respectful and tag it as a long post.
3. Speaking of long posts, you can now set tumblr to automatically shorten anything over a certain length. It’s under Settings>Dashboard.
4. 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.
5. You can now filter tags and post content via tumblr itself without using something like XKit! This is also under Settings>Account.
6. Tumblr offers an ad-free subscription now. $40 a year. If you love this little hellsite, this is a great way to show support!
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. You can now enable tipping on your blog/individual posts. Totally optional, of course, but can be useful if you’re a creator.
10. 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!

[ID: Two tweets by Cedar. They read: “When Indigenous people say stolen land we don’t mean 500 years ago. In the late 1800s a lumber company had my g+ grandfather tell them stories & asked for an “autograph” on blank paper. They forged a land transfer. It’s a golf course today. This is typical Native family history. Another moment in typical Native family history: Colonizer wanted farmland, said my great+ Aunt’s [farm animal] gored him. Her tribe testified in court, she didn’t even own [that type of animal], no one did. She lost, had to pay fees, her home/land was valued at the exact amount.” End ID.]

In the dead of night in the late 1800s, free masons came to my family’s land and set fire to their crops, their animals, and their home. My family fled their land out of fear of being murdered and their land was stolen from them. These stories are so commonplace yet colonizers and settlers like to place us in mental museums so they don’t have to face their true colors.
