We’ve just launched a simple developer API for reblogging posts with automatic formatting, automatic attribution, and optional commentary.
See the Reblogging API documentation for details.
DEAR THE STAFF OF TUMBLR,
YOUR PROGRAM’S JUST FINE THE WAY IT IS. IT REALLY DOESN’T NEED ALL OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS.
THANKS THOUGH

reblog the literally billion photos of these beautiful bloggers!
Hey, Peter, I don’t want to be a dick — really — but literally billions? Literally? I like hyperbole as much as the next guy, but this is literally a lie. I can’t believe that made it past the edit desk. Same mistake on the actual reads page.

(I’ve been kicking around a half-finished draft of this for a while. Theresa inspired me to finally finish it. Thanks, T.)
I try to be a positive person. I try not to talk shit about people behind their backs. I try to find silver linings. I try to fix problems instead of just complaining about them. I try not to use sarcasm as a weapon. I try not to hide behind...

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this...

“Ordinarily I wouldn’t question others’ parenting choices. But the problem is literally one of live or don’t live. While that parent chose not to vaccinate her child for what she likely considers well-founded reasons, she is putting other children at risk. In this instance, the child at risk was my son.

“The only extent to which hate-crime protections pertain to “thought” is in the way that all criminal law does, which is to say that motive matters. If you truly believe that the law should make no distinction between accidental manslaughter and premeditated first-degree homicide, because you truly believe that any such distinction constitutes the establishment of “thought crime,”...

And people are joking about it. About a 6-year-old child’s possible death.

“It has come down to the sound of his voice, the tone of it, the content of his speech has finally become empty in a perfect way. Rush Limbaugh’s words are a self-devouring Ouroboros, a tautology, they are solipsistic, he speaks to a world that consists of nothing but himself, reflected.” — Jim K.

“If Barack Obama were somehow able to cure hunger in the world, the Republicans would blame him for overpopulation. If Barack Obama could somehow bring about world peace, they’d blame him for destroying the defense industry. If Barack Obama has a BLT sandwich tomorrow for lunch, they will try to ban bacon.” — Rep.

“We can’t live in our heads and on Gchat or Tumblr.”
I struggled to find a response. Only a stifled cry exited my throat. Possible phrases ran through my head, but deleted them all.

Tears rolled noiselessly off my cheeks.
