how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

I’ve been here since 2016 and I didn’t realize this.

Time to go deep diving into my tags!

(How many revolutionary groups as such are already in place for a co-option that will be carried out only in the future, and form an apparatus for the absorption of a surplus value not even produced yet—which gives them precisely an apparent revolutionary position.)

Man, Endnotes sucks.

[athousandgateaux]

The most annoying guy in my critical theory MA program was constantly trying to get us all to read Endnotes, and then when we did, we just spent an afternoon ripping it apart while he sat there looking like we'd just kicked his puppy.

Endnotes is political theory for people who don't actually like or know how to read theory but want to pretend they do to look cool or whatever.

“Fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it is true. Children know that. Adults know it, too, and that is precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living.”

Hello, I am Dabby Gabriel and I would like to invite you to a 1980s style late and very long dinner. We will sit for roughly 4 to 5 hours in one Italian restaurant in soho nyc eating a very heavy meal of thick pasta, fatty meats drenched in sauces and oils and gulping glasses of luxurious acid filled red wine. Your ears will be privy to hours of conversation from me, a extremely wealthy white 68 year old man who is out of touch with almost every aspect of modern American life. Every time you think the evening is over I will order more things like dessert or coffee. When we get up your pant bottoms will stink like ass-sweat and it will release a cloud of sweaty shit stink that will make you feel like a dirty person. You will go to the bathroom at lest once to be alone for a second and fart. Oh yeah, one more thing, I am a bad boring person but I am rich with money.

it’s so funny thinking about the world pictured in the solarpunk chobani yogurt ad because we see that plastic is only used for chobani products, which are the only thing people eat that isn’t just naturally grown fruits and vegetables. chobani is the only food brand that exists in this world. the power dynamic going on here must be insane. if you wrote a story set in that world the only narrative that would make sense is one where the monopolistic chobani corporation is the main antagonistic force

Instagram and tiktok are fucked because if you have generational wealth and a weird pair of sunglasses in NYC you can easily get 200-300 thousand followers for posting the same video over and over
