Female inmates of San Quentin State Prison and their very fine hats. 1/?.
Josephine Goodrich and her “husband” (it does not appear the two were legally married) C. J. Phillips were charged with stealing $61.80 from a man’s pocket at the Stockton train station in September of 1918.
C. J. had a long criminal history, having been in jail at least seven times, mostly for vagrancy.
After their initial conviction, they requested a new trial on the grounds that the complaining witness, Mr. Song Won Sook, was a recent Korean immigrant who spoke little English, and there were apparently questions as to the accuracy of his testimony.
Their request was denied, and the two entered San Quentin Prison on June 10, 1919, receiving consecutive numbers. C. J. died in prison four months later.

"It took me TWO years to finish this sketch book!" Well that's cuz you're not fuckin sketching. Those are fully painted pieces dawg that's a renderedbook. I've gone through four sketchbooks in my off time this year alone I just draw stupid faces and shit for fun. pussy up like the rest of us and start drawing stick figures with guns
Are u going to/is there already a way to access your transcriptions of those letters with Rachel/rat, Jack, will, & co? I love them so
I would love to eventually, but it would be a huge undertaking and I would probably have to make a separate website for it. There are over 1000 letters, and my first draft transcription (which I still need to proofread) is over 1200 pages typed single space.
I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
shakespeare wasn't lying that tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow can creep in this petty pace from day to day
I must admit that “shit-ass” is not a word I ever thought I’d see in a 19th century letter… but here we are.
“This is kind of a shit-ass of a letter, but I just wanted to let you know I was alive.”

Hi, i’m a new tumblr user and i’m using the mobile app, and i just came across your “tumblr how to” post and it’s super helpful so thank you so much. I wanted to ask about something, sometimes when people color their words like this they do other stuff like add more than one color to the same word hut not like this, the colors blend together. So i wanted to know if there’s a way to do this on app bc i don’t have a laptop. English isn’t my first language so sorry if my explanation is vague. Thank you, hope you have a good day!!
Tumblr ‘How To’s
Thank you! I’m happy to know that I could help. And don’t worry, you explained it just fine. (English isn’t my first language either btw)
I didn’t know how to do this so I searched about it. The unfortunate thing is that in order to do this, the ‘text editor’ of post needs to be changed from ‘Rich Text’ to ‘HTML’. And while this change can easily be done on a laptop, there’s no way to do it neither on the mobile Tumblr app nor on Chrome browser on mobile. And it sucks!
Apparently this option to change the text editor used to be available on mobile, but the recent Tumblr updates have discarded that feature for some reason. So now while posting/editing posts through mobile (whether on app or browser), the only text editor available is ‘Rich Text’, which can change colours of letters like you did in your ask but it CANNOT make them blend in together like in a gradient.
Just putting this out there:
I found this amazing and super easy tutorial by @kylos . It’s made for laptop users but it’s easy to follow on mobile too. I tried it myself and it worked more than fine for most of the steps. But as I said, since we can’t access ‘HTML’ text editor on mobile, we can’t implement this to the last step.
I tried finding more ways to do it, but since Rich Text doesn’t offer gradients and HTML just isn’t available on mobile, there’s really no way about it. I’m sorry I couldn’t help this time :(
In case I stumble upon a solution for this -which I think is highly unlikely but still, I’ll add the new link in my masterlist)
The Tumblr App Sucks But Here’s How To Format Posts In It
All right, kiddos, gather ‘round for a little tutorial on the wonders of Markdown, you can access the whole documentation here, if you’re interested, this is only a small introduction on how to use it in the Tumblr App.
What’s Markdown?
Markdown is a language that makes it super easy to turn normal human-readable syntax into HTML. You know, HTML, the things websites are made of? Yeah. Cool as all hell, I know.
How can I use it in tumblr?
You can use Markdown whilst making a tumblr post by simply clicking on the litte settings wheel, and changing your text editor from Rich Text to Markdown, and just get writing! If you click Preview, you can see how what you’re writing will look on everyone’s dashes!
What about on mobile?
If you’ve ever used the Tumblr App to make a post, you’ll know formatting is nigh impossible, literally impossible if you use the default Rich Text editor. So if you want to do some formatting (and I’m talking almost everything tumblr allows you to put into a post) you’re gonna want to use our friend Markdown.
Just click on the settings wheel on the bottom-right corner of your screen to change the settings of your post (the same way you’d change a post to be Drafted, or Queued) and scroll until you find the option EDITOR, and just change that bad boy to Markdown. Click the back arrow, and just start writing! Once you’re done, just click post, and your Post will be fully formatted!
So how can I do cool stuff on Markdown for my dank ass posts?
All right, let’s go through the basics:
NEWLINES
One important thing about Markdown that might be hard to get used to, is that you need to press Enter twice for a newline to actually appear. If you only press it once, the text will show up on the same line!
BOLD
To make your text bold, put it between two asterisks, like this: **text**.
ITALIC
To make your text italic, put it between underscores like this: _text_
H TEXT AKA TITLES
To turn your text into a bigger text (the H option), put a hash and a space in front of it, like this: # text. The space between hash and text is important!
LINKS
Maybe the most annoying part of tumblr’s formatting ways, this is ridiculously easy in Markdown, if a bit hard to remember. The link’s syntax is this: [text](the_actual_link).
An example of this would be [this is a link to a cool blog](http://holomoriarty.tumblr.com/) which will show up like this: this is a link to a cool blog
STRIKETHROUGH
Sadly Markdown’s syntax doesn’t support strikethrough! This is a real bummer, but you can always use the traditional HTML tag strike, like this: < strike > text <\ strike >. Just without the spaces in between the angles and the word!
LISTS
List syntax is super organic in Markdown. In a new line, use - a space, and your text. To create another element in the list, just press enter, and repeat the process! You can think of the dashes as the bullets in your list, as with the hash, the space between the symbol and the text is important!
NUMBERED LISTS
Same as the latter, but instead of using a dash you need to use a number, and a period, like so 1. again, don’t forget the space!
BLOCKQUOTE
To put your text in a blockquote (or indentation) just put one > in front of the line you want in the blockquote! The blockquote will extend until you press Enter twice (meaning it’ll put the whole line in blockquote).
IMAGES
Yes, you can insert images on your posts with Markdown, if you have a link to them. Just use this syntax (it’s pretty similar to the link one!) .
An example of this would be  Which would show up like this:
HORIZONTAL LINES
This recently introduced feature of tumblr.com will put a divider between two lines of text, and in Markdown it’s as simple as using 3 or more dashes in a line like this - - -.
READ MORE
So Markdown DOES support Read Mores, which I didn’t knew when I first posted this, excuse me lol. Just put a [[ MORE ]] WITHOUT THE SPACES BETWEEN THE WORD AND THE [ SYMBOL on the new line where you want the Read More to go.
VIDEOS AND TUMBLR SEARCH FEATURE’S GIFS
Not implemented! A real shame, but there are some things you might just need the full Tumblr PC experience for!
So where do we go from here?
Now that you know how to write Tumblr Posts on Markdown, USE IT EVERYWHERE. Markdown is something I use literally every day of my life. To work with it you might need to download a special editor (Atom is SO recommended, it’s ridiculous) but usually these are also a hundred times better than writing on Microsoft Word. Markdown’s your friend, use it!
