![]() Bigger kids still pushed you up against a wall and took things from you, but sometimes they too could be charmed. You called them “Snazzies: the cigarette for the fancy smoker.” You made it into a bit, and everyone thought it was cute. You found an old cigarette tin, rolled pencil stubs in paper, and made them into a fake brand. They did their best, but you needed more than that, so you started looking for ways to get attention.īig brother smoked. ![]() ![]() You needed them all to not fall apart so they could hold you together. Your family tended their own wounds after your mother died. You’ve not yet learned to live in the present, so you live in the nothingness of a permanent not-yet. The past hurt you, so you move on, and want the world to move on. It is obvious to you already that a world that relies on little isolated family units subject to the whims of the market and disease is a bad idea. Like in Kimba the White Lion, that TV show you loved when you were little, you feel alone in the world. Look that last one up, it explains a lot. That made us distrustful, detached, dissociated. The two frontline adults meant to be there for us, keep the world at bay, weren’t. You don’t think about this much, but I have to insist: we lost our mother young, and we never much liked our distant, irritable father. They’ll help you in spite of your indifference, even antagonism, to care. Perhaps they see the wound that keeps you from asking. I’ll try not to advise, as you won’t take advice. You-what do I even remember of you? Our past selves are probably extensively edited editions. A letter that’s cover for a medley of others, addressed to others, about love and money, sex and death. A letter to a young poet, where the young poet is me, forty years ago, not quite twenty years old. I’m writing this to you from your own future, or a possible one at least. Then his life took a turn while crossing the waters of our harbor. He was this churning, surging flame, icon of a new thing called rock and roll. He came to Newcastle on his Australian tour, in 1957, four years before you were born. its outcome completely at odds and quite confusing to both seasoned and new users alike.When Little Richard came to our hometown, he left us some- thing like a gift. This seems to be a continuous problem with any dismiss function on this site (dismissing recommended blogs seems to be a placebo function, too). If I visit the tag itself, it's clear that there are plenty of new posts being added, so it's not a question of there being no new posts to highlight! Right now both outcomes are impossible as I keep getting served the same posts constantly despite dismissing them. I dismiss posts either because I do not want to see the content in the highlighted post or because I'd like to see something new from the tag. Has there been a change to the 'dismiss' function in the 'include followed tag posts' feature?

It was a lot of fun to answer, and we hope it helps! Admittedly it is a lot to keep up with, but we try to be as clear as possible about these distinctions on the Changes and Labs blogs. Needless to say, a lot is going on right now! And we hope it makes for a richer, smoother, and more interesting dashboard experience. Those experiments are run as more traditional A/B tests. Besides the experiments in the Labs division, there are still many experiments being conducted across Tumblr by the other divisions within the company, like the recent desktop navigation update.Right now, we’re also working towards some opt-in experiments (you can read about one here) but, eventually, they could become A/B tests and “real” features for all users. As of mid-2023, there’s now the Labs division inside of Tumblr! You can read about it on the Labs blog-we’re working on bigger new features for Tumblr that won’t be in those old Labs settings.We aren’t adding new ones, and we’re slowly working to either integrate these into Tumblr as real features or remove them. There are still the old “Tumblr Labs experiments” available as settings in /settings/labs.Answer: Hi, Labs, and our experimental features, are in something of a fun spot right now:
