I was thinking of maybe making (or someone else making) a tumblr blog where people with ADHD can submit study tips that work for them. And also a place where people can ask for help and it can be a community thing to help others.

As someone who struggles with studying and has ADHD, I hate the lack of resources and guides on studying with ADHD.

Please please reblog <3

Episode 19: The Volcano: Rescue From Whakaari

This week I recap and talk about the Netflix documentary, The Volcano, which documents what was meant to be an ordinary sightseeing tour of New Zealand's Whakaari volcano on December 9, 2019. No one could have imagined the nightmare that erupted.

Listen wherever you listen to podcasts!

the MEATBALLS menu????? wtaf tumblr

In UI/UX design, menus have different names depending on the aspect they have, I knew about the hamburger menu and so I figured the “meatballs menu” could exist too, and it does…

thats it, im not posting the rest of the day, this is the best fucking thing ive learned in the past 3 weeks

this is what we needed to learn in distance learning

In my Actual Job I regularly have to tell people “you have to click the hamburger to unhide the sidebar menu” and if you think this makes anything clearer you are WRONG.

Whoever designated these icons knew exactly how what they were doing to the people who have to explain how they work.

Tutorial: How to Embed Gifs (and get the one you actually want from the set)

There have probably been posts about this before, but since reposting is still a (deeply unfortunate) thing, I figured I'd give this a shot in case it's not a well known trick.

The tumblr Gif tool will allow you to embed gifs directly into your post without saving and re-uploading (reposting) someone else's work.

When you're building your post, just use the yellow GIF icon in the post builder:

You can search here by tag or keyword. If you happen to know one of the tags used on the original post you're looking for, that can narrow things down:

To narrow down to a SPECIFIC post, you can also paste the URL into the search field. This will pull up the very first gif in that set:

If you select that gif, it will pop into your post with a credit and link back to the OP (specifically back to the OPs post with that gif in it):

This is a properly attributed gif embed. The credit on the bottom right points back to the original post:*

Often, the first gif is not actually the one you want to embed, but there is a way to swap the image out for the one you want without losing the source attribution.

*It's helpful to put some reference text near your initial embed so you're able to swap the right image out later on. For this post, I'm going to use that short block right above the embedded gif as a reference.

In another tab/window, go to the OPs post and find the actual gif you want to embed from their set. Right click the image and Copy Image Address:

Once you have the URL copied, go back to your post and scroll to the gear icon at the top:

Open that menu and in the dropdown, where it says Text Editor, swap Rich Text to HTML:

Your post will turn into a bunch of code once you do this. Don't worry, we will change it back.

For this post, I put reference text above that first embedded gif so I could easily find the URLs I need once it becomes HTML. This is super helpful if you're embedding more than one gif. The reference text is highlighted below. This indicated the block that my currently embedded gif lives in:

In order to swap the first gif out for one that's later in the set, you just need to replace the SRC gifv and SRCSET gifv URLs with the image address you copied:

Once you've pasted the image address into these spots, you can go back to the gear icon and switch the Text Editor back to Rich Text:

Your post should return to it's previous, glorious state, but instead of the first gif embedded, you should now see the one you actually want from the set. The credit and source attribution back to the OPs post should remain intact on the bottom right:

This might seem super complicated at first, but it's pretty straightforward once you've tried it, and also a lot less frustrating for gif makers to see this than seeing our stuff just get reposted.

Anyway... If you found the gifs outside of tumblr or you didn't make them yourself, don't save and re-upload (aka. repost) them to tumblr, 'cause someone probably stole them from here to begin with and that's not cool. Search the tags and find the ones you want. Reblog from gif makers. If you want to embed a single gif from a set, try to do it this way, or minimally, credit the person you took it from.

threatening to kill someone for telling you not to steal people’s gifs + saying you’ll steal even more out of spite sure is. a move.

if your response to “please respect fandom creators” is “i’ll fucking kill you” there’s something seriously wrong with you

ok since the person this was all about made a post told me not to be a coward and show everything, here are their messages to me too:

they blocked me before i could reply so, well. and also, it’s not my job to help you link gifs just because i recognize who made them
