I'm sorry but I just have to appreciate the wordplay on that last sign. It's brilliant.

Hey guys, decided to make a sister blog to this one- @silly-signs

Looking up signs for this blog, Iā€™ve come across some funny but not necessarily ominous signs soā€¦decided to make a blog so I can reblog those goofier signs. Also I literally just made it so thereā€™s only one post but yeah šŸ‘

It bothers me a lot how so much of how tumblr has decided is the ā€œright wayā€ to do disabled representation is so. Alien from actual disabled experiences. Your good disabled representation has to have a lightweight, low backed, sporty manual wheelchair. Dont think about the fact that many wheelchair users canā€™t self propel in a manual chair, or that most people can only afford the most basic standard hospital chair. Dont you know thatā€™s bad representation! Your cane user OC shouldnā€™t be putting more than 20 percent of their weight on their cane because thatā€™s Wrong, donā€™t worry about how canes are the most accessible mobility aid and be plenty of people who should actually be using crutches or a rollator are using cane out of necessity and will have to use them ā€œincorrectlyā€ thatā€™s bad representation. They shouldnā€™t be embarrassed or ashamed of their medical devices, they should always wear their ostomy bag outside of their clothes, because thatā€™s the way I can show my viewers that I care about representation! All feeding tubes go through the nose right? That way I can show off my representation! They can all help in their own way! Just because theyā€™re disabled doesnā€™t mean they canā€™t lift heavy boxes, or join an adventuring party, or play sports, or be a punk rocker! They canā€™t be suicidal: thatā€™s bad representation! They can be angry but only ever at the obviously evil ableist cardboard cutout villain. Never at their own limitations, or at the well meaning protagonist who doesnā€™t even have to be told how to make the setting 100% accessible. Everything less is Bad Representation!

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you canā€™t find any post on your own blog, itā€™s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if youā€™re on desktop/browser and you know what youā€™re doing:

  • url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissantsĀ or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, itā€™s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant
  • url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest firstĀ 
  • url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isnā€™t as perfect at finding everything, but itā€™s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned itĀ ā€œlook at my croissantā€) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it wonā€™t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find itā€™s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order
  • url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case youā€™re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memesĀ 
  • url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now
  • url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if youā€™re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc
  • url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if youā€™re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quicklyĀ 
  • url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I donā€™t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant)Ā 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog!Ā 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (orĀ ā€œcustom themeā€) enabled. aĀ ā€œcustom themeā€ is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. Iā€™ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks.Ā 

if the person doesnā€™t have aĀ ā€œcustom themeā€ enabled, youā€™re beholden to the search bar. still, Iā€™ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if youā€™re on mobile, Iā€™m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if youā€™re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, youā€™ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and itā€™ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if thereā€™s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)Ā 

the archive/tagged trick is a lifesaver!!

a caveat on opā€™s caveat is that if your blog/the blog you want to search is older than [whenever they forced everybody into the tumblr.com/user change], most of these tricks will still work whether or not they have enabled ā€œcustom theme.ā€

tumblr works itā€™s just a closely guarded secret

Hey folks, I'm opening emergency commissions specifically for PMD icons, because moving to Canada has me FLAT BROKE. I'll work out more customization options when I've got the actual brain for it, but for now, I'll take special requests on a case by case basis. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Please email me at melodypika13@gmail.com with a ref image or description of your OC, the names of the expression(s) you want to commission, and descriptions or ref images (stuff clipped from Google or other art is okay!) of any custom expressions you want to request.

(Or, if you're feeling generous, send me a Ko-Fi at collabwithmyself- I'll put the link in the reblogs!)
