Happy Pride 2019, Tumblr!

There are so many ways to celebrate this beautiful month! Pride parades and festivals and marches will take place all over the U.S. to elevate our LGBTQIA+ selves, friends, and family. Your Tumblr dashboards deserve to feel just as commemorative, so all month long we’re going to be highlighting amazing LGBTQIA+ Tumblrs for you to follow.

As we celebrate, we also want to remember the serious event from which Pride has evolved. This month marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Stonewall Riots, a series of political protests that began at The Stonewall Inn in New York City. Young Black and brown LGBTQIA+ people—particularly trans POC—were the first to stand up and protest against the police brutality and inhumane treatment of people within their community. They deserve to be remembered, respected, and honored.

And so, this year, our theme is “Educate. Advocate. Celebrate.” We’re sharing resources and information about the LGBTQIA+ community to help educate those who are not as knowledgeable about the history of the community. We’re advocating for the community by providing links to helpful resources, small businesses owned by LGBTQIA+ folks, and non-profits to support. And, of course, we want you to celebrate who you are. Through that, we’ll be spotlighting non-profit organizations, LGBTQIA+ artists on Tumblr, and more throughout the month right here on @action. There are so many wonderful LGBTQIA+ Tumblrs out there, and we want to continue to support and uplift them.

There’s also a little bit of fun added across the platform. See the Tumblr “T” up at the top on the left on desktop web? Hover your mouse and see it cycle through different LGBTQIA+ flag colors, including the traditional LGBTQ+ rainbow flag, trans flag, non-binary flag, genderqueer flag, lesbian flag, POC LGBTQ+ flag and more. Using the app? Open up the sticker drawer and find some of those Pride flag in sticker form to use however you see fit.

We want to know how and who you’re educating, advocating, and celebrating this month. Is it you? Your parents? Your best friend? Is there a small business owner we should know about? Make a post about ‘em! Make sure to tag your post with #Tumblr Pride so the whole community can find it.

Stay safe and stay kind, Tumblr. ❤️

Moments like these are the reason I love South Park~ ;D

I’m like:

THIS

any tips on getting people to notice your story? i got a fan comic im making but i dont wanna embarrass myself putting it out there for no one to see

To gain traction keep in mind that most social media platforms sort primarily with the first 5 tags. So put the important ones first.

However,

Bite the bullet and post it.

How can you get anyone to like it if it’s not out there?

Even more important, how can you get anyone to like it if you’re not proud of it?

Stand tall with your work m’dude!

It won’t be perfect, it’ll never be perfect.

And guess what?

That’s FANTASTIC.

You can still learn, you can still improve, and you can still move forward. Thing is, the only way to do that is to do it. To put it out there, accept where you messed up and take it as a lesson moving forward.

Don’t make your comic for others. Make it for you because you want to see it made. You only need one fan, yourself. If you love what you do and keep moving forward people will notice. That draws people in more than any instantly popular 5 step tricks.

Cute. ^_^
