Chirp — Version 2.0.0

Preview // More Info & Install

hey y'all! since Twitter has been circling the drain for the past few weeks (months now?) and we've gotten an influx of new users migrating to Tumblr, I really wanted to give my Twitter theme a makeover (and a new name!).

Chirp comes with the following features:

Utilizes the Tumblr Official full-width controls and search bar

7 post sizes, 7 sidebar widths, 8 navigation widths

All 3 Twitter color schemes (Default, Dim, and Lights Out) as well as two color themes (Accent Light and Accent Dark) and two Tumblr-inspired themes (Tumblr Blue and Tumblr Dark)

Choose from the Twitter font (Chirp), Tumblr font (Favorit), system default font, or 33 included Google Fonts in 4 different font sizes

"Who to follow" section that loads the icons, titles, and URLs of blogs from a list that you provide

"Trending tags" section that loads information about your blog tags (including number of posts per tag) from a list that you provide

Unlimited custom links (visit the help desk FAQ for tutorial)

Custom titles for Home, Ask, and Submit links

Optional verified account badge

Pagination or endless scroll

Chirp version 2.0.0 also includes:

A new redesign from the ground-up to match the latest iteration of Twitter's design (new fonts, colors, etc.)

Posts that are more similar to Tumblr posts than tweets (I tried to make them look like tweets but the accessibility and readability was garbage. Twitter's design was not made for long posts lol)

Better inclusion of NPF posts and formatting

Minimized code for faster loading times

you can install (or reinstall) this theme here, or wait for the theme to be approved in the theme garden (I only just submitted it today so it could take a bit!) and as always, thanks so much for using my themes. it means the world to me.

my themes are free to use, and always will be — but if you love my work, I'd be so happy if you bought me a coffee. thank you!

using javascript on tumblr pages – how to ask support for permission

✧ What is happening?

As of early May 2022, you might have gotten this message when trying to save edits on your custom pages or when trying to install new ones:

“Looks like you’re trying to add some Javascript or invalid html to your page. You’ll need to contact Support if you’d like to use Javascript.”

✧ Why is this happening?

Tumblr is preventing potential malicious uses of javascript and decided to ban any form of javascript on your pages, and for now the only way to re-enable it is to “contact Support”.

More info: https://help.tumblr.com/hc/en-us/articles/5869629271319

✧ How to contact support:

Just “contact Support” is vague enough in itself, so here’s a quick guide on what to write in your request to them so you can get approved asap. Please note that it may take some time for them to process your request. This exact method isn’t guaranteed, but here’s what I did that got me approved within a week.

1. Go to https://www.tumblr.com/support

2. In the Category option, choose “Customizing your Tumblr”.

3. In the message box, list out all the blogs you want to use custom pages on. Then, give a brief description of what you use those blogs for. You only need to state the blog names, *not* each of the custom page urls, or the javascript file links. Here’s a template:

(Remember the please & thankyous! Staff are flooded with requests right now so be mindful).

4. Skip the Attachment part.

5. For the Relevant Blog option, pick your main blog (the very first blog you created on your account)

6. For the Account Email, enter the email you use to sign in to Tumblr

7. Complete the Captcha and wait for the tick ✓ to show

8. Click Next.

9. You’ll reach the “Does any of this help?” screen. No, it does not. Scroll to the bottom and click “No, send my thing”.

And done! You’ll receive a confirmation email from staff that they’ve received your request. They will not send you a reply if your blogs have been approved for javascript usage. You need to check your custom pages every few days to see if you can save any edits, or if you can install new ones.

✲ edit: they do send you a reply, but you might’ve already been granted javascript usage approval *before* they send an email back!

Once upon a time I wanted to be a writer

Once upon a time I wanted to be a writer. Not an Author, a person who lives their lives, gives their lives, trying to profit from their stories. Trying to live doing what they love to do the most. I'm not going to lie and say it wouldn't be amazing to get paid to be read.

I like writing stories. But the idea of being an author is too much of a responsability. You have schedules, rules, responsabilities... And when you do all that alone and for free while trying to get recognized... is just extenuating. Is frustrating to try to be an Author.

You know your writing is good, yet you see other stories, maybe not as good, going viral. And you think: "Is it my fault? Do I really suck at writing? What is that one element that can hoist someone with an avarege story to the top and not someone with a really good story?"

You recognize your own value. It's not that you are better than anyone else. You are happy with any book being so popular and talked about, but you get sad thinking that your book is just as good and no one is even looking at it.

So you just write. Not because you want to be an Author and gain money from it, but because you like writting. You like to create characters, to make plots, put romance, mystery, angst, happiness in your story, you like to give life, to see everything evolve, change...

You simply like to tell stories. Even if for free. But even that is not enough. Nobody notices you anyways. Nobody reads your books with amazing storylines, plots and characters. And suddenly you doubt about your talent.

You start to think your writing sucks, that your plots are boring, that your characters are shitty. And the willing to write just disappears. Once it was something you loved. Now is something nostalgic, something you sometimes go back to, but doesn't excite you anymore.

You go back to your old stories and you love them so much it hurts. But they are there, abandoned, lonely, forgotten... nobody sees them anymore. Not even you. Maybe one day after I die they will get all the love they deserve, like many stories from authors in the past.

Many many times I dreamt with one of my friends about our books being lectured in schools, students trying to figure out what that story meant, what were the hidden messages between the lines...

Many times I thought about a person loving my books so much it made their lifes better. So many times I joked with my friend that one day fans would write fanfics about our stories, like we once did with the stories we love...

But dreams are just that. Sometimes they become real but most times they don't. Once upon a time I wanted to be a writter. Now I just want to fall in love with writting again.

Group Therapy Sucks ASS!

For me, group therapy is like a competition to see who has it worse in life.

Like, you sit there, hearing other’s shitty stories and what, is that suppose to make you feel better because your life is better or worse than them?

I don’t know. I hated doing group therapy. Therapy is suppose to be something personal. I don’t like to share my fucked up life with strangers. I feel invaded!
