Hi! We're introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They're a steal at $7.99—that's cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Get yours here!

Okay, your blog looks great, but what’s the point of being important online if you can’t prove it with an actual, physical unverified verification symbol?

We felt morally obligated to help you. That’s why we made these Important Blue Internet Checkmark Stickers for $3 and Important Blue Internet Checkmark enamel pins for $6. Investing in this is investing in your future. It’s the most financially sound investment you can make this fiscal quarter. Also, as a reminder: Nothing matters! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also: Posts are now the full width of the screen. That means photos are 3% larger than before. Sounds like a little, feels like a lot.

Tumblr Tuesday: Mermay

Well, chaps, Mermay is in full swing, and we thought we’d share a little selection of its masterpieces. Who knows, maybe you, too, will feel moved to immortalize the noble merperson. Call it inspo. Call it appreciation. Whatever you do, please do feast thine eyes and enjoy.

(As is often the way with the beasties, some of these have fins, eyes, bones, and other potentially upsetting sticky-out bits. Please proceed with caution if any of this squicks you out).
