A small 'this is how you use tumblr' for the people that haven't been here very long. These are in no particular order, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask them!
Since I probably did not mention a lot of things, you are welcome to add to this post with your own advice.
a) Reblog posts. if you like it, reblog it. even if you have zero followers and ESPECIALLY if it's art or writing of any kind. We will see the reblog in our notifications and that alone brings joy. One reblog can start a chain and push the post onto many people's dashes.
b) Tumblr is not a very functional website, if you want to survive without losing your mind, there are two things you need: xkit rewritten and dashboard unfucker. Play around with the settings until it is to your liking. Additionally, change to firefox if you haven't already and install ublock origin to get rid of ads, tracking etc.
c) If you go to your settings (account! not blog) you can find this under dashboard at the bottom. Turn off at the very least 'best stuff first' since that will fuck up your dash and not give you posts in chronological order.
The rest are a perfonal preference but it will keep your dash tidy and easy to control if you turn them off, too.
d) Apropos settings—get a profile picture, a header, write something human in your bio, anything. Otherwise people will assume you are a bot and block you on sight.
e) Blocking! Do it generously and whenever you want, this is how you keep whatever remains of your sanity. It's not a lethal offense, it is (usually) not even seen as rude or anything along those lines. You block people and they block you and everyone is happy.
f) Under account settings you will find this:
Just like with blocking, use both options to your heart's content.
g) Tumblr is not like other social media platforms, spam liking & reblogging and going three years deep into someone's account is NORMAL and encouraged. You can search a blog by post type, tags, or even go to the archive and scroll through the posts there.
h) Lastly—interaction. We already went over reblogging (I mean it, REBLOG), but there are also replies and asks. If you add something to someone else's post please behave like a kind human being and don't be an asshole; based on my experience, that's easier said than done. On top of that, the tags are ALSO used for communication, go unhinged, ramble, leave your thoughts, or simply use them for organisational purposes. Everyone loves a good insane tag wall.
An open inbox (either anonymously or with your blog attached) is to be used! Please send people asks if they have them active, use it like DMs or a comment section, use it to recommend something, ask questions, participate in an ask or prompt game—we love asks here.
(We do not like harassment in our inboxes, same rules as above.)
#alex yells at the void#tumblr culture#fandom culture#tumblr in a nutshell#how tf do I tag this. anyway#i know a lot of new people followed me after good omens 2 and still are#so this is for y'all!

the "i'm tired of tumblr messing things up, i'm gonna make a COOLER dashboard, with custom backgrounds and no clowns!" post
i have officially gone off the rails, here's some good resources lads.
1. Adblockers.
Why are adblockers so useful on tumblr? Well, you can use them to block and zap certain elements (such as that annoying clown). You can get them on almost any browser, although I'd personally recommend Firefox browser :O
uBlock Origin is my adblocker of choice, but there are plenty out there that do the job too.
2. XKit Rewritten
While I personally don't use this, it has lots of features for accessibility, ease of use, etc. for tumblr. It's a browser plug-in on multiple browsers I believe.
3. Dashboard Unfucker
You will need Tampermonkey plugin installed on your browser to use this (which isn't too hard to do). This changes the dashboard to the older layout (the one that DOESN'T look like twitter). There's customizable settings too.
4. Custom Dashboard Themes with Backgrounds
You will also need Tampermonkey for this (linked above in the previous). This lets you make a custom dashboard theme complete with custom colors, custom background, etc. Be sure to read the info fully to know how to edit it!

how to install dashboard unfucker (for desktop)
hi i use desktop and i use the dashboard unfucker extension by dragongirlsnout and you should too because it's awesome. i don't know much about computers so it was intimidating to set up but ended up being really easy.
but first:
what is dashboard unfucker?
dashboard unfucker is an extention that makes being on tumblr bearable again.
(ID: 2 screenshots of tumblr with urls/posts etc censored. the first is with the new layout, with labels on the left, the ad-free button, "check out these blogs," "explore all of tumblr," the radar, and no easy way to access your own blog. the second is with the extension enabled, the left hand side of the screen is empty, posts are wider, navigation icons are back at the top right, and the only thing on the right-hand side of the dash is the dashbaord unfucker and limit checker and tag replacer from xkit. end ID)
i got it for layout changes like these- the first is cramped and ugly and i feel like i'm on twitter. the second is warm and comfy and i can make my posts wider (i dont like all the empty space). (limit checker, tag replacer, and post color were done on xkit and palettes respectively, not unfucker, btw)
with the dashboard unfucker you can:
hide the following/blog subs/for you etc tabs
get rid of the changes/staff picks/etc carousel
hide recommended blogs and tags
add profile pics back to posts
hide the radar
hide the explore page
hide tumblr shop
hide user badges
highlight bots in ur activity feed
show who follows u in the activity feed
make posts wider/slimmer and move the dash posts position to the left/right
revert messages design (and make the messages box bigger)
revert activity feed to the old design
display vote counts on polls
show poll results without clicking (no more skewing polls or "see results"!!)
disable tumblr domains
add polls to reblogs
disable "post without tags?"
show ns.fw posts
and other things that i probably missed copying this from the settings!!
so how do you do it? it seems scary but it's easy actually. take my hand
(note: i did this on firefox and tested it on chrome, i'm not familiar with other browsers, also use firefox if at all possible fuck chrome)
how to install dashboard unfucker
step 1: install either tampermonkey, tampermonkey beta, greasemonkey, or violentmonkey (if you don't already have it)
note: im using tampermonkey as an example because it's what i use
step 2a: go to firefox extensions/chrome web store/your browser's equivalent
step 2b: look up "tampermonkey" and click "add to firefox/chrome/whatever" and confirm
step 2c: you're done! yayyy
step 2: click this link. look under "installation" where it says "Click on unfucker.user.js to install or update". and click that
(ID: a screenshot of the tampermonkey install page, showing dashboard unfucker v5.7.8 installation information, the source code, and the install/cancel button. end ID)
(it should open in a new tab and look like this)
step 3: click install! (when i did this it didn't look like much happened and i got scared. dont get scared take my hand)
step 4: go to www.tumblr.com and to the right of the dash it'll have the dashboard unfucker label to the right!
(ID: the default dash again, but with the dashboard unfucker title at the top right of the right-hand side of the dash. end ID)
step 5: click the little gear icon and all the options will pop up! u can fuck around with em to ur heart's content. i recommend exporting after ur done and saving it somewhere in case u have to uninstall/reinstall to troubleshoot or smth
you're done! now u can see the results of polls without clicking them and other such things
(ID: a poll i have not voted on. it has 17 votes and 23h 56m remaining. the title is "poll :)" and the answers are "answer 1" "answer 2" and "see results". there are no percentage labels, but the amount each answer has is indicated by light blue bars in each result, as they would be if i had voted. end ID) note: i'm not sure how/if this aspect of the extension is indicated for screenreaders
THIS POST IS TRANSGENDER BTW!

Hello everyone- I am still alive... just incredibly busy with life. IRL chatter below cut
After Graduation I got hired on at the company I was doing my internship at and for a long time I really enjoyed it - even though it left me completely exhausted at the end of the day... then my wife and I moved into our first house and we had all the trials and tribulations of getting moved in, set up, and then cleaned up as there had been no updates to the house in 20+ years and no yard work done in several of those years....
Then as things started to calm into a routine - work changed and my boss is essentially eliminating most of the Field Work that I enjoyed so much and now I am stuck sitting at a desk 3 days a week and only out on the field for 2... meaning after I sit at a computer for 9 hours I don't really want to sit at one at home when I know there's other things I need to be doing. But - even that is falling into routine now too.
Tumblr seems to have changed again in my absence and apparently Dashboard Unfucker and XKit Rewritten are no longer a thing? Is there any replacements for them yet?
Either way, I want to come back online though and miss writing with everyone. If anyone is still interested in picking up an old thread please let me know!

Everybody says that the dashboard unfucker works best but I tried it and it set my whole dash off center or stretched every post out too long and made it look awkward and every time I refreshed the page it'd take more than a few seconds to set itself up.
The Old Tumblr Dashboard Stylus script has worked best for me the only problem I've had with it is the icons at the top are all mixed up. But my muscle memory seems to have adjusted to that just fine.
Like if the Dashboard Unfucker script works best for you that's awesome! I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it didn't work for me. Likely because my monitor is HUGE (my dad went all in buying it for me when I needed a new computer and I love them for it. It's a good monitor.)
I only bring this up because I'm seeing so many people being like 'the stylus script is ok but use the tampermonkey one it's so much better!' and I don't want anyone to disregard the stylus script and use the tampermonkey one only to get discouraged if it's kinda fucked up thinking it's the only one that works well.
If one of the scripts doesn't work for you try the other one is all I'm saying and if neither works, either try and see if you can let the creator(s) know that something's up or just wait a little while I'm sure they'll find a way to patch it!

god im so glad im using xkit and dashboard unfucker. what the hell is the circles on the side now? is that their solution to side blogs or what cos fuck that. this whole set up gives me so much fucking anxiety. and i agree about the top bar shit next to dash. literally use none of that. i do use explore tho but mostly trending.
and i too suspect they're trying to push everyone to app so they can shove 5 million ads in our faces and force us to see porn hu... i mean tumblr live every (roughly) 7 days instead of being able to block it with extensions. it's honestly ridiculous how much 3rd party shit im having to use just to see tumblr the way i want to. and i shouldnt need to use any of them. they should just stop fucking up the layout.
Hey @staff just wondering did any of you ever study web design
Just feels like you're intentionally making the desktop interface an inhospitable place in order to drive users toward the app or off the site entirely. Is that what you were going for? If so good job I guess.

how DO you unfuck your dash?? mine updated too and i would give Anything to go back tbh its so bad
it’s in your blog settings! open those up and then on the right of your screen is a list of submenus, what you do is click ‘dashboard’ and then there’s an option to use the old dash that you just flip right back on. i’m pretty sure that there’s no additional bullshit surrounding it, it’s just that fuckblr staff sure likes to never tell its users anything about navigating this absolute hellsite
#sonic forces me to answer questions#soup-vomit#feel free to reblog this if you have followers who also hate this stupid fucking update by the way

Congratulations ABBY! You’ve been accepted as MARS with a FC change to HUNTER SCHAFER.
Abby, we’re excited to have you back, and we’re excited to have you gracing the dashboard with Yvette! Her life’s story flowed so well, I felt as if I could envision it like a movie - of course, it’d probably be one that I cry during, but that’s besides the point. I’m a sucker for the little things, and those headcanons, from her favorite things to her laughter, just made me envision her that much more clearer and really makes you see her as a person, not just a character. Welcome back!
Welcome to Mutants Rising! Please read the checklist and submit your account within 24 hours.
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME / ALIAS: abby
PRONOUNS: she/her
AGE: 22
TIMEZONE & ACTIVITY LEVEL: EST, 6-7/10 – What is time these days? I’m still a full time grad student, but with everything the way it is i’m pretty much on my computer all the time, which means I can be better involved in the gc ( hopefully ! ). In terms of replies, I’ll either be cranking things out on the dash in the mornings or at night after dinner (8-9pm onwards)
IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
DESIRED ROLE: Yvette Diandra
GENDER/PRONOUNS: trans woman & she/her
DETAILS & ANALYSIS:
Calm like a bomb. The only tick tick you’ll get out of Yvette is her heart thrumming when her hands lift off the handlebars; when her smile splits for a second – all teeth. There’s nothing overtly dangerous about her: a young woman grown upright into adulthood, all legs and elbows and big eyes, searching for soft spots between your ribs. Mischievous, maybe – up to no good, certainly. She smiles like she’s got a secret tucked under her lip, more than just the tattoo she got drunk on her 21st birthday reading PUSSY in blurred out ink ( you are what you eat, right? ).
There’s an uptick to her brow to tell you she’s unimpressed; a shrug in her shoulders that says she couldn’t give a shit what you say, really, but a nod and another nod until she can roll away from one palm-flanked street to the next. She’ll keep it that way – a slow blink like a cat’s to say, i trust you, a hand extended with a joint between her fingers. You know she’s whispering about you when she turns to giggle in her friend’s dark hair, but – come on. She looks like she’ll bowl over with a strong wave; how much damage can she really do?
She doesn’t use her powers often, a clean and tidy life that comes at the expense of control. She’ll say it’s because her powers are messy. The truth is she’s never been terrified of anything like she is of herself. She knows what her blast radius is, knows how easy it is to crush things, like a petal in her fist. She knows the shrapnel never really comes out; you can’t get unfucked, you can’t put all that toothpaste back in the tube. You sure as shit can’t walk across the bridge, on fire while you hold the blown-out match. It’s fine. It’s all fucking fine. Yvette clamps a bear trap on her own foot – not because she likes it, not because it’s convenient. Because the alternative, is, frankly, a lot of fucking work. Yvette is good at breaking herself apart, less so at putting herself together. The drop is always easier than getting back up.
The fearlessness – as congenital as the atoms in her body, shivering to split and reshape like waves on the surf – comes out in other ways. No helmet on the on the hill that drives straight down to the beach. Sketchy deals with friends of a friend of a cousin of a diagonal neighbor. Nights lost to glitter and the burn of liquor on her tongue, unsure of the time between the club and the beach and her bed. Mornings split like a snowcone in the sky, and the rest of the day lost to sleep. Petty theft. Cruel giggles poorly stifled in the back of her hand. Fun that’s really only fun when you aren’t at the receiving end of it. Testing the edges of control like dipping your toes into a riptide.
BIO:
Trigger warnings for: still birth, abuse, drug use
Yvette is born screaming. Peals of it, unfurling from her tiny, toothless mouth. Despondent – no nurse’s finger or nipple in her mouth would quiet her. Eight years or so later, over three fingers of bottom-shelf whiskey and a chain of cigarettes that should’ve put her in a grave, her mother mentions offhand it was just Yvette overcompensating, as usual. It’s the first time she hears about her brother, pushed out between her desperate wails; born sleeping. Yvette swallows this like she does all her mother’s bitter commentary – wide-eyed, slim fingers wrapped around her blue plastic cup, knees drawn up and chin nestled between them.
Things were easy, then – on the bicycle of their lives; two wheels holding up the frame in equal measure. At least – that’s how Yvette remembers them, and refuses to remember further. Texas was honey-sweet and bourbon-rich; Yvette was raised between their dry front lawn and the neighbors, the block a kingdom for her bare feet to conquer. She was a wild thing, then, wiggling in her mother’s hands and in a furious race with the sun. The problem with the sun is that it goes down. The clock stops ticking at midnight, and the candles blow out. The screen door swings shut.
Yvette makes no secret of her dislike for Mom’s boyfriend. He’s tall and broad, with mean eyes like Mom taught her to look for. His hands are cracked and he smells more of cigarettes than her, too; reeks of them, and maybe that’s why Mom likes him so much – she thinks she can smoke him down, too. Yvette’s never had a taste for tobacco, not since she went to school on the first day of fourth grade and all the kids next to her held her nose. The only time Mom’s ever slapped her was when Yvette crushed all the unused packs under her boot.
So the first boyfriend is a bust, but it doesn’t stop Mom from bringing home the second or the third. By the fourth Yvette’s on the cusp of something she can’t quite reach, and she knows enough from her skimmed physics book to understand insanity. This time, she shuts the bedroom door and says nothing. Doesn’t stop Mom from falling back into the pendulum swing, though, and this time the speed picks up. Boyfriend Five nearly kicks her door down when all their friends go home and Six takes a fist full of her hair before Mom can stop him. She doesn’t wait to see what special brand of asshole Seven is – peel back the label and it’s all the same dented can.
Miami was an inside joke – another liquor-based confession Mom made on the couch with a smoke in her hand. It was a place to pin all their secret wants and wishes. You could be something, in Miami, something warm and pink and sun-dusted, a place where the sun doesn’t set and the sand is warm between their toes. A pipe-dream, Yvette echoed back and Mom nodded. Now, with Boyfriend Seven’s cash in her pocket, a bag on her back, and the rest of her life literally up in flames – why the fuck not? Everyone was always telling her to stop letting the world happen to her.
There wasn’t a lot Mom was right about – not Yvette’s dad, or her name, or any of those shitbags she ever brought home. She was maybe a little bit right about Miami, though. It was flamingo-pink and glittering. And no one gave a single shit. Not when Yvette grew her hair long, or rolled up her skirts, or walked into Planned Parenthood with her heart in her throat.
Mom finds her, eventually. It’s hard not to when Yvette made no secret of it and tended to implode her life every six months or so. It was all very dramatic – lots of wet mascara, tears, hands clasped in front of her like she was about to mutter six Hail Mary’s. The last boyfriend – was it Ten, now? Eleven? – finally put his hands on Mom and apparently that was something of a wakeup call. Not Yvette, gone in the night, with their cash and the garage like ground zero. Not all the times the kitchen vibrated like the base of a volcano, seconds from exploding. Still, Yvette opens her door. Mom sleeps on the couch now, goes to work with few words while Yvette sleeps in. They don’t say the M word. They don’t say the F or the H word either. This isn’t home and they aren’t really family. Yvette’s control is thin like fishing line. These days, to be honest, they don’t say much at all.
EXPANDED CONNECTIONS:
Hana Mercado: There is nothing about Yvette and Hana that will ever be calm and peaceful. From their first collision, like flintrock to tinder, Yvette knew she was going to love this stupid bitch forever. They’re like a tanner, taller Team Rocket – or Thelma & Louise, though Yvette doesn’t give herself too much time to contemplate which side of the hero/sidekick coin she falls on between the two of them. The honest to god truth is that there wasn’t much Yvette had before Hana – her mom, maybe, and 20 hours of week at the gas station where she could do fuck all and still get paid for it. It wasn’t even the power she wanted. She could feel it – maybe, buzzing at the base of her spine, but it wasn’t why, when Hana held their hand out, Yvette took it.
It was balance, restored. Yvette spent her life since eight reaching for it, open hands unmet. She thought she needed quiet, like a vacuum to suck out all the noise and rage vibrating inside her. She was so fucking fixated on it. But a counterbalance can never be empty space. Hana stepped on the other side of the scale – lightning to Yvette’s thunder; there, bright and flashing, for Yvette’s low rumble to follow. And that’s what they are – aren’t they? Storms for girls; blowing through the bay, darkening the sky and roughing up the surf; spitting out dunes like chewed gum.
But Yvette sees the way Hana’s been nudging her, pressing their foot down on Yvette’s side of the scale. They want to cut the wires, watch the clock tick down to zero, and Yvette can’t for the life of her understand why. Her whole life she’s ripped things out from the inside, ruined things to show herself she could; decided it was what she deserved. She doesn’t need Hana to do it for her, too. Yvette knows fully fuckin’ well what she’s capable of – and it scares her. The fear of it chokes her up, mangles her insides until she can’t breathe. The problem is, of course, that it’s Hana. Anyone else Yvette would’ve told to fuck right off by now – and shit, she probably already has. But Hana’s hand in hers is a grounding weight, and even without that she’s at risk of detonation.
EXTRA:
Headcanons:
-Yvette’s transportation of choice is her mom’s old roller skates that she rehabbed. She’s a frequent loiterer on the counters of her favorite skate shops, juggling wheels or messing with knuts and washes. As a result of both her hobby and general lack of care for her own wellbeing, she’s often sporting bruised knees and hands and a fair amount of road rash.
-As a natural consequence of her lack of experience and control, Yvette has set fire to a number of various buildings and infrastructure, including but not limited to: her mom’s garage, three gas stations, the neighbor’s yard, a playground swingset, herself (once, technically), two jetties, and some of Tatiana’s plants. She’s never been charged with arson.
-She has a habit of laughing in grossly inappropriate situations, and despite literally everything else about her that says otherwise – it’s almost never on purpose. It’s an anxious habit Yvette doesn’t know the origin of or how to stamp it out, but regardless: nervous, angry, scared, or frustrated, Yvette is going to laugh. Probably in your face. She might even feel sorry about it, but usually only if it gets her in trouble ( which, as one might expect, it very often does )
-The quickest way to Yvette’s heart is between her ribs and under her breastbone, but also: vaporwave edits of pop songs, alaskan thunder fuck, sour apple jolly ranchers, holo stickers, Bombay Sapphire gin, karaoke on acid, 80’s night at the roller rink, fresh blackberries, retro movies with running commentary, white samoyeds on walks down the boardwalk, really really dumb fucking puns, and the occasional baseball bat to an old tv screen.
Character parallels: Amma Crellin ( Sharp Objects ), Effy Stonem ( Skins ), Jules Vaughn ( Euphoria ), Ilyana Rasputina ( X-men ), Amy Elliot Dunne ( Gone Girl ), Lemony Snicket
This is so dumb but I basically see Yvette’s mom as an older Dakota Johnson? But when she was younger she was very much Dakota in A Bigger Splash ( see here ). Alternatively, an older Yvette?

Hi, @onewomancitadel! Sorry to use your tags as an excuse to show how to do this, but we were hesitant about this as well for the same reasons! But it turned out to be super easy AND simple to reverse if necessary, so I'm going to make sort of a step-by-step guide for those unsure!
TAMPERMONKEY INSTALL
i linked to their website jic you werent using firefox (which you should be if you arent) but it does just end up linking to the firefox addon store anyway.
so go ahead and add that beast!
it asks for quite a few permissions, but tampermonkey itself doesn't actually access any of this to any extent. it just gives whatever code you write/install the ability to. so, in general, as it says on their page after you install it...
DON'T DOWNLOAD BAD SCRIPTS! read through it a bit first, only download stuff with reputable comments if you're nervous, etc etc. Tampermonkey itself, again, doesn't really do anything that could put your privacy at risk.
DASHBOARD UNFUCKER
github has always scared me, tbh. there's too much going on on that site, so this is the fastest way to gtfo of that site. you can also generally follow this plan of attack for any other userscript you want to slap into tampermonkey, but some devs make it easier than this even! it depends on where you get your stuff from. anyway, access the .js file by clicking it.
i personally like to get the raw file in my broswer so i can just ctrl+a to select the whole page and copy it that way, but you can also just. copy the code from this page. either way, you need to copy the ENTIRETY of what's typed up in that .js file
PUT THEM TOGETHER!
look to wherever you're hiding tampermonkey (toolbar, extension folder, etc) and open up the dashboard
click the little + sign box over there. you don't NEED to do anything on the extension dashboard if you don't want to, they do all of the work for you by default
see! the even give you some code to start with! we don't care about that right now, though, so get rid of it and paste the code from github in there
((i guess you could also have just saved the .js file and imported it into the new tampermonkey file...? but i like throwing things around lol))
anyway! after sticking the code in, hit FILE and then SAVE and... from there, that's basically it! tampermonkey will see all the details the developer put into those comments and it'll be set up to inform you when there's updates available to the code! or you don't have to update it! or you can check on it occasionally on your own! either way, you're done.
i'm hitting a word limit i didn't know existed, but this is what it looks like after you install it! it's a bit glitchy and weird looking on some pages, but it's at least not whatever the fuck it was before. also i have xkit and some userstyles installed so i might have even more of a glitchier experience than you might, but i've been really happy with this for a few days now!
to conclude: PLEASE make sure you're reporting FEEDBACK to staff about this update. they won't do anything if we just ignore it, you HAVE to tell them what you think or they'll just keep throwing this shithole down the drain. if you've read this far (and maybe even installed it!!!!) i hope you have a GREAT day!!! you're cherished and i'm very happy you're crossing my path today :3c
get tampermonkey and download the dashboard unfucker right now and send staff feedback on the desktop site
#not art#sorry this is like an essay#i'm a visual learner so i had to include pictures#i'll make an edit in the og post saying to check the rbs for this one probably
