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

[nightpool]

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

[cyle]

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

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

Posts from your "crushes"

"What you missed" (will be empty if you already visit Tumblr every day)

"Trending"

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.

I swear if the link in the original post is a virus I'll be so upset.

[ruimtetijd]

nope! i hovered over the link and this popped up on the bottom of the browser. here's all the links in order:

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

I've never heard ADHD explained this way....but it's such a good depiction of it.

"time" for the WIP Word Guessing Game

This is from Merry Go Round in which Buck makes queer friends, starts going on blind dates again, but somehow all roads lead back to Tommy

---

"Hey, you were the one who said you wanted to get back on the horse. Prove to yourself and everyone else that you're not just gay for your ex because he was the first guy to rock your socks off-"

He scrunches his face.

"- even though you definitely don't owe anyone that shit."

He scrunches harder.

"But like, I totally get it at the same time. So, great. Go kiss some boys and suck some dicks. Get some unassailable proof that you are one hundred percent queer and nobody can ever make you doubt yourself about it again."

He huffs a sigh that ends up sounding way more longing and pathetic than he'd intended. She's not at all wrong, is the thing. He hates the feeling of not being able to point to anything concrete, of being treated like Tommy's some kind of exception that proves the rule, rather than just the guy who was so incredible he broke through an entire society's worth of pressure to be "normal" just by existing in Buck's life.

"Look. Just go on one date, meet this very cool guy, try a rebound for a second to get a little distance. Gotta start somewhere or you'll never shake off the rust… it'll be fun. You can't tell me you don't need some fun in your life right now."

He hesitates, and Lucy grins, already knowing she's got him.

Send me a word and I'll post a snippet of a WIP with that word, or write you 3 new sentences if it's not in there :3

for the wip game, what about “catch”?

“Hey,” Evan's voice was quiet over the phone, in deference to the late hour. “How's everything?”

“Pretty normal,” Tommy was out on the tarmac, not wanting to disturb anyone trying to catch up on sleep. He leaned against the outside wall, wrapping his arm around himself. “Two med flights, one for a hiker, one for an auto collision.”

“Mm,” Evan hummed. “Did you eat dinner?”

[houseofevanbuckley]

This Buck and this Tommy

Or where S1 Buck is secretly married to new Fire Chief Tommy Kinard

[ambernotember]

For the WIP guessing game: let’s try “chance”

Evan was on shift; he’d started twelve hours ago, and Tommy knew he’d been somewhere at the warehouse, because he’d heard Nash and Howie over the radio. Tommy hoped Nash would take them offline for a little while, at least long enough to get some food into them, if not a quick nap. He’d had captains that didn’t care about stuff like that, but he knew firefighters worked better if they had the chance to be rested.

He headed straight for the kitchen, intending to make himself a quick shake before heading to bed. Tommy opened the fridge to pull out some milk when he spotted a tupperware container with a sticky note on it. Hey Tommy, the note said, hope you like spaghetti. For the love of god, REHEAT IT before eating.

girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”

girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”

horror movie jock: “it’s only a myth, don’t worry”

In 38 years of life I have learned 1 thing;

If anyone is ever training you to replace them in a position and tells you 'its an easy job I don't do much' what this means is that you are about to spend six months to a year catching up on all the stuff they didn't do and sorting out the stuff they did poorly.

In related news I finally managed to finish un fucking my predecessor's lack of a filing system.

[hungrymilliek]

And if they start a sentence with "You're not supposed to do it this way but...", you're about to learn some shit to make OSHA go:

My job is literally in safety and emergency management and that phrase makes me break out in hives. Which is to say that you are entirely one million percent correct.

Ngl there is some unintentional cruelty in the recent promotional material for Disney/ABC adjacent properties using BuckTommy knowing Tim has basically openly admitted to abandoning them as a concept at the behest of podcast besties in his recent interviews. ABC seems content to celebrate them as one of their Big LGBT Couples but if you know the show’s current state you know Tim is too scared of not looking cool to a micro niche podcast for Tommy to even come back briefly. There’s a dissonance there that feels like the higherups are trying to trick people into getting their hearts broken by promising BuckTommy, but that only lasted 1.5 seasons and two years later Buck’s only acceptable “love interest” according to Tim is his son.

There are so many books in so many categories. Both Second Nature and Nothing to Know are there, but I've also separately dropped the price of Take It Outside for anyone just starting the Trailhead series!

Happy (QUEER) reading, everyone!!
