tumblr tuesday: carina’s cosmic cliffs

Cosmic cliffs, our beloveds. ICYMI, @nasa​​ recently shared some neat new images from the James Webb telescope. So, of course, you all got to work. Whether it’s plonking your faves on a star-birthing nebula or celebrating the sparkle in its uncolonized state, there’s art for that. 

@cassieoh imagines Crowley lazing around Carina in his snake form:

@sir-galahadnt styled the nebula in inspirobot chic using a quote from Hamlet (click through for the full quote):

@whatlizardry in oil pastels:

@assassin1513 just made it all sparkle a little more:

@jupitertheegg gave Starfire the perfect cosmic couch:

That's why I chose a work from home job, nobody knows I'm wearing my bugs bunny jumpsuit on an all-team video call. Wait...

the most fictional thing about series and movies is people all dressed up at home

please don't ever come to house without warning first or you'll find me in my pjs

How the Snowflakes Won

The soft, sad freaks on an unprofitable website claimed victory in the battle for the internet’s soul and defined the worldview of a generat

I suppose this is a good opportunity to let people know that I'll be running Tumblr personally for a while, and it will be my top priority within Automattic. There is a ton of opportunity for improvements the community has asked for and deserves, and I'm excited to work on it.

@cyle the bearded wizard

Sayin a lil' prayer for the Tumblr Infra team, which I assume is two unwashed interns, a reanimated 15th century wizard, and a cron job that's been running since 2009

Tumblr Hack Week, September 2023 Edition

Once again it was Hack Week (more than just a day!) at Tumblr! A couple of times per year we slow down our normal work and spend a week working on scratching a personal itch or features we want as user and see how far we can get with our hacks. One thing from the last Hack Day in March made it all the way to production: redesigning how direct messaging looks on Tumblr! Pretty cool!

Here are some of the projects that got made for this most recent Hack Week in September. Some of these things you may also end up seeing on the site…

Tumblr Patio

Maybe this will look familiar to you, but we love this idea of being able to organize Tumblr feeds into many “columns” side-by-side, creating a very dense but lively view of Tumblr. Lenny, Kelly, and Paul hacked this together, and we’re pretty excited to see where it’ll go. Each column can be a different feed on Tumblr, like For You, Following, your Activity, a specific blog, a search, Trending, even a Collection, so many possibilities!

Tumblr Booths

Meanwhile, a separate team of @autoplanes, Katie, @lex, Shaun, and Eve dug into the idea of selling digital and physical goods through blogs on Tumblr, leveraging our sibling platform WooCommerce! Blogs could put whatever they’d like for sale here, and have a dedicated space for it. We know there are so many amazing artists and artisans here who could use this to more easily sell their creations on Tumblr!

Avatar Frames/Hats

This one is a golden oldie, it keeps coming back hack day after hack day, and each time it gets even better. Santi and Maxime hacked together some example avatar “frames” and “hats” that folks on Tumblr could purchase for their blog. Maybe eventually people could create these and sell them or gift them to each other!

As always, stay tuned to the @changes blog to see if any of these hacks make it on Tumblr for real!
