Ok dear Tumblr buddies, asking for your opinion.

I started re-designing my portfolio for the first time in ages (since 2016 from my account) so… what you think? Does the home and menu look clear?

Building it on Framer too, which has been fun. ☺️

Both happy and bummed about my Prototyping workshop yesterday. But hey, at least I got to do an animated Megaman. 😅

If anyone’s interested I might be posting the workshop here later today (but it’s in Portuguese)

Believe it or not, this is not fake.. It's real.

[bfigas-design]

Imagine this but for Beyblades, Pokémon Action Figures or Bakugan? 🤩

[bfigas-design]

Should I use Tumblr like I used to Tweet and just drop one off shitposts every now and then?

I feel like I miss the simplicity of a small text and not a “blog post” but at the same time, formatting and more dynamic options are fun. 😄

Need to explore my new web persona right now.

[bfigas-design]

Well, here comes the mass migration.

[bfigas-design]

Is anyone here on Tumblr's UX, UI, or Product Design communities joining Figma's Schema 2022 Virtual conference tomorrow?

If you're up to it, we're all building our community badges. You can duplicate the file and make yours too.

Having the best soundtracks in the MCU, they never disappoint and well, we all know why

[bfigas-design]

I second this. Some of the best tunes on the MCU so far. 🥰

Yesterday went back to a place I many times called home. It’s a music venue called Salão Brazil in Coimbra, Portugal and got to have some fun just playing with multiple exposures on my phone during the lovely concert by Miss Tracy Vandal to launch her new album. 🥰

I missed going to concerts and shooting photos.

thoughts on the dissolution of twitter and digital ghosts

As we spiral into the depths of the world wide web with reckless abandon, searching for friendship and meaning and connection as the very servers we use to connect crash and burn, it’s a wonder what social media will the masses congregate to next?

Is a massive platform of collective thought the way of the future, or will it be segmented into pockets and niches, private group chats and discord servers, where you have to be in the know to even find your community.

the wildest thing about switching back to tumblr is like,,, I use microblogging as a journal for my shower thoughts throughout the day but when i used tumblr in the past it was always on my laptop, never the phone app, and i used it like pinterest. It was never the social aspect of connecting with friends but rather more like reddit where you talk to fun internet strangers about shared interests. I don’t know how i’ll use this space yet. It might be more journaling and personality than twitter, or i might forget it exists all together. And my twitter was never professional but this will be even less so.

Either way, beginning to work in Social apps is a dream come true, watching all these features and companies crash and burn is such a learning experience, and seeing what people like and continue using regardless, it’s wild.

At what point did i stop using snap and tumblr and switch to twitter and tiktok. And instagram has always just been there too. As facebook slowly decays like the new orleans six flags, memories of fun with friends now haunted by boomer parents and jan 6 conspiracies, I want some platform to cling to in this digital realm.

Removing data from these sites and erasing my existence doesn’t remove the memories of friends i’ll never see again simply because i don’t know their username on other sites. I poured HOURS into twitter, during the pandemic it was probably 12-16 hours daily. I quit, it was a mess. My algorithm never recovered, and I missed out on my digital friends lives. The same friends I chatted away the days with on clubhouse and rodeo are now ghosts, the data is there but the users are away from the keyboard, touching grass and living their best lives. I miss them but am happy for them.

Let us venture onward, into the unknown future. Enrapture ourselves in the digital world, non-binary flowing through the binary, sending love in longform text built from 0s and 1s, xoxo from me to you 🖤✨

Where will we go next?

Hi Tumblr, long time no see my old friend. 🥰

[staff]

Hi! We're introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They're a steal at $7.99—that's cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Get yours here!

[bfigas-design]

I mean we all knew this was coming 😎
