☂️ per aspera ad astra

Tumblr runs on likes, reblogs, comments, and all of the little ways a post takes on a life of its own. Until now, those interactions were bundled together as “notes”.

Now, on web (and soon on the Tumblr app!), we’re giving you more details right on the post:

Separate counts for likes, reblogs, and comments, so you can see at a glance what kind of activity a post is getting, and if there’s chatter in the comments or the reblogs, you’ll know right away.

The reblog button opens more options, including Add to queue (previously Fast Queue).

The total notes count is still available on every post’s permalink page (just tap the header to get there).

Why the change? We want to make it easier to follow the conversations happening around posts. Separating likes, reblogs, and comments lets you quickly see whether a post is sparking discussion, taking off in reblogs, or simply stacking up likes.

We heard you. Many of you told us you missed having edit and delete buttons right on your posts, and we get it. They made it quicker to fix a typo, tweak a tag, or remove a post entirely.

So, we brought them back. You’ll now see edit and delete options on web right where you expect them to be.

like, are they in cahoots. can they laugh together. do they have a similar enough or at least complementary enough outlook that they can connect over something being funny (even if it's funny in a fucked up way! sometimes those are the best in-jokes!)

You know, I've seen manuscript abbreviations that looked like text-speak, but hand-drawing emojis to stand in for the word ceann (head) in a passage about Cú Chulainn being beheaded is taking that all to a new level

(The line from another manuscript: "Is ann sin d'éirgedar datha aille iongantacha do cheann Choingculoinn")

He just keeps doing it. Every time somebody gets beheaded in this text, the word "ceann" gets replaced with 😐 And a lot of people get beheaded in this text (thanks Conall), so this happens a lot.
