Wow, ok, so the levels of gay pining we’re seeing in all your Stranger Things posts is really giving us something to come to work for. Here’s some of that gay pining in art form: whether you’re shipping Ronance, Steddie, or Harringrove, there’s fanart for that on Tumblr.
It’s that time again, and you’ve half a month to get on board if that’s something you’d like to do. What’s that? Too much Our Flag Means Death? Look, ok. We’ll stop shouting about your fanart on Tuesdays when you all stop making it (or, alternatively, when this freakish deluge of good representation inevitably dries out, and we’re all back to shipping non-canonical gays). For now, here are everyone’s favorite seafarers as mermaids (yes, even Jim).
Apologies, the esteemed editor for this Tuesday edition has been afflicted by the most severe case of brain rot pertaining to a certain solicitor’s clerk and his count. The story so far (careful, spoilers ahead, kinda):
Happy National Textiles Day, Tumblr. Yesterday, a bunch of famous people walked up some steps wearing the stuff, to varying degrees of success. So here is some nice, some weird textile art to please your brains.
Happy bread anniversary to you all. Here is some doughy art in celebration of that one April 19 when someone made a humble loaf in Pompeii. Please do try this at home, kids.
Happy Smoke and Mirrors day! What does that mean? No one seems to know! We do like mirrors and reflections of one sort or another over here, though, don’t we. So here are some dreamy aesthetic renditions of reflections of real things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You’re all beautiful.
No thoughts head empty. Except for the red floof. Here’s a selection of the frankly ebullient Turning Red fanart you’ve all been making. It’s long. This is a long post.
Have a good, safe International Women’s Day. You deserve it all.
An earlier version of this post included an additional illustration. After we were informed the art was misgendered, we removed it. We sincerely apologize to the artist and entire community for our error. Thank you for calling this to our attention.
We’ve got news. We’re introducing a new blog view experience for bluespace (dashboard, search, and explore) on web, and we’ll be rolling it out to you soon. You may have seen a sneak peek of it on @changes last week.
What’s changing, exactly?
Before, when you clicked on a blog in your dashboard, explore, or search, it opened up this drawer on the right-hand side of your screen. This didn’t work very well for smaller or wider screens, or indeed on mobile browsers:
With the new viewing experience, blogs will now unfurl in the center of your screen—giving you more space to scroll through their content (while still keeping your scroll position on the dashboard as before):
Why have we done this? What does this mean?
These changes address a common complaint: the current sidebar blog view doesn’t utilize the overall space very well. It’s 2022, after all; screens are bigger these days.
If you have asks open, the ask button (with its customized text, if you’ve customized it) will appear directly in your header, instead of hidden in a menu as it was before.
Extending the width of this blog view affords us the ability to add more stuff, like a sidebar—and maybe some more customizable elements!
What about your blog’s current customized appearance, you ask?
Don’t worry—we understand the time and love you invest in your blogs, and this change does not impact any custom blog themes. This change simply improves how your blog will appear when others view it from the dashboard, search, or explore.
Questions? Drop us a line on @wip or Support, and keep an eye out for more changes on @changes.
Hello, and welcome to this very national holiday here at TuesdayHQ. Like you, we delight in the silly little things. Your delight at Twosday, for example. It’s very touching, really. Anyway. Welcome to this completely normal day of twos. Here’s how you’re all celebrating today.
@sorrysomethingwentwrong points out that it’s the first palindromic ambigram of its kind since 11/11/1111—which, if our calculations are correct, was a really frickin long time ago:
