Hey, don't cry. A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shines, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design, ok?
Declutter Tumblr
The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I’m sure it’ll give more options soon.
Vanilla Tumblr:
(I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn’t have any. I’m EU so no Live for me).
Xkit Rewritten Tumblr:
The settings I use:
inmdesign
listen this isn’t rat related but I’m going off the walls right now this is literally so fucking funny

be pro-aging but wear sun screen. sun protection is not beauty industry propaganda it will save you. wear it. or else.
Tumblr is not getting rid of the chronological Dashboard!
Folks keep sending this feedback in, I've replied to 108 in the last hour, so I figured I'd write a post. Please reblog this, thank you!
Rest assured, [tumblr] is not getting rid of the chronological feed of blogs you follow. For details, please see this update from Staff over a week ago.
We also mentioned this on Changes the day after. Please do follow @changes, it only posts twice a week and is the best way to stay informed. (BTW, a lot of you are blocking Changes, WTF is up with that?)
As for algorithms, we actually have several already in use, and those are the ones we're working to improve. You can see them under the For You tab, and turn them on or off for your Dashboard via the "Include posts liked by the blogs you follow," "Best stuff first," and "Based on your likes" toggles in your Dashboard settings.
With those three toggled off, which will always be an option, your Dashboard feed will be solely posts from the blogs you follow sorted chronologically from newest to oldest.
If you have any other feedback, please use the Feedback category in the support form. Submitting feedback there is like a firehose directly to our developers and designers. (Please of course be mindful of signal to noise. I know a firehose is tempting to abuse, but the more nonconstructive feedback we get, the harder it is to see the constructive feedback.)
And, of course, please stop sending concerns about removing the chronological feed. We are not removing the chronological feed of blogs you follow, we never will, and we never planned to.
Thanks!

The via negativa, emerging in early Christianity, was fully aware that one cannot speak of God yet must speak. There’s an opaqueness and impenetrability about the divine being that resists every effort to grasp its mystery. God is inaccessible to all forms of human control, beyond every linguistic sign and image one might use as referent. Language about God is as impossible as it is necessary.

Implicit storytelling in two tweets:
Yeah. They did that. I bet the ‘clarification’ came as a result of some strong legal threats.
So be aware in the coming weeks that if your favorite actor reportedly says something shitty about the strike that makes your blood boil? Check the sources. There’s going to be a lot of uh, spin in the news.
