Just a quick reminder:
unfuckyourhabitat:
UfYH operates on Eastern Standard Time. Because that’s where I live. And, believe it or not, Tumblr doesn’t have the functionality to configure the time zone, work situation, and personal schedule of each of my followers so that everyone gets the challenges at the appropriate time for them.
HOWEVER, since you’re such a smart and resourceful (and non-excuse-making) bunch, I...

I don't like facebook girl jokes.
intimationsofimmortality:
Unless you’re 11, telling the world you like it on the floor when really, you’re referring to your handbag and not sex, isn’t funny.
If you’re an adult just tell the world straight. If you want to tell your friends you like it in the ear, go ahead. I respect that.
Well, not that but I respect the honesty.
Actually, unlike what some people have said to justify...

My main tumblr →
It seems that I’ve been getting a few followers on this blog.
This is not my main blog, which is here. Reblog Central is just a place where I reblog things to comment on them, and don’t necessarily want them on my main tumblr.
Cool?

the base of ln: That BBC Books List →

Ooh, ooh I want to try! Bold for all that I’ve read, and there are some books that shouldn’t be on this list at all, including redundancies…
You should know that the BBC never said that whole “6 books thing” - this list was derived from their “The Big Read” list, as voted by the British public. It doesn’t quite match up and...

The Art Of Contentment
claudiacrayon:
The Art of Contentment. For most of us, being single will be more of a phase than a final destination. This is the best place to practice the art of contentment. Someday, I’m sure most of us will fall in love and get married. But the thing is, love will always be tested. Someone more handsome, beautiful, more charming, richer, funnier, sweeter would come along. If you have not...

The rise and fall of Polaroid Corp. and its wondrous technology is one of the great business stories of the 20th century. Polaroid was the Google of its time: the hot stock, the place the smart people wanted to work, headquartered in the most socially and technologically progressive city in the country. Cambridge, if you can believe it.

Question for anyone who's written a thesis before
buyhercandy:
Should I hand-write or type my notes while I’m doing research? Usually, for “normal length” essays (2000-4000 words), I hand-write all of my notes. For my thesis, though, I’m concerned that it might all get a bit disorganised if I hand-write everything.
Thoughts? Past experience?
About how long for your thesis? And how long do you have?
If it’s, for example, a 6-month...

Dear Tumblr 2
tlow:
Another Tumblr wishlist item. I wish I could post more than one picture per entry. I never quite know what to do (should I post the same caption under multiple pictures, can I just post them sequentially and hope people get it, sometimes I even make a point of mentioning that there are more interesting photos to be found by clicking ?) and I honestly don’t want to invest the time...

Jesus Christ. I tell you people that a 5-minute game made me cry, that it’s one of the greatest and most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, and a total of one person replies. I post a picture of a camera lens coffee cup, and I get 87 notes as of this writing.
This isn’t indicative of the decline of society or people having shallow taste. The...

Wait, so you mean all I’d have to do to become tumblr-famous is follow everyone?
Hah.
I didn’t want to add to the other thread of discussion because that’s exactly what they are after.
ephemeron:
man. this is bumming me out. people are reblogging my friend leonard’s poem and not giving credit to me or to him, people are reblogging my ferris bueller picture and deleting my words, and some people are just being a little bit rude towards some of the things i have to share. i think i might just choose another blogging format altogether, where things are mine to share and where...
Tumblr Notes Plugin
matthewb:
On Friday I posted about loading Tumblr’s reblog “notes” via AJAX into a custom theme. I’ve had enough interest via email to release it as a plugin of sorts. Here’s a brief run-through of how to install it:
While logged in to Tumblr, go to the Dashboard page that lists all your posts, view its source code, and search for the first occurrence of display_post_notes. This is a function...
um
titlepage:
can someone tell me where the “my posts” option is on the new dashboard?
On the right hand side of your dashboard you’ll see tabs with little triangular arrows. Click on the link with your tumblr name.

sorry: i'm about to reblog you
Disqus is good, and the instructions to install it is really easy to follow.
I also have a separate tumblr (the one I’m posting this to) which I reblog things that I don’t necessarily want on my main tumblr - pictures, making comments, that sort of thing.

Pay off your credit cards every month.6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.8. It’s OK to get angry...
bebelestrange:
when did “moleskin” (as in journals) become cool? last I heard of it, it was something to stick in your shoe if you had a blister from hiking.
I did sort of a rant-y post about moleskine journals (and the lomography brand) a while back, if you’re interested.
It’s kind of a silly trend, but I quite like some of their journals.
