Gamer Cats

It's that time of the year.

Greetings from Europe.

This is what (almost) all of the Tumblr @staff team looks like in a room. 192 people here at the meetup! In my introduction I ended up doing an impromptu presentation on typography and how that brought me to open source. I originally learned about this stuff through our Automattic colleague @apartness, in this article on A List Apart The Trouble With EM ’n EN (and Other Shady Characters.

That's why I chose a work from home job, nobody knows I'm wearing my bugs bunny jumpsuit on an all-team video call. Wait...

the most fictional thing about series and movies is people all dressed up at home

please don't ever come to house without warning first or you'll find me in my pjs

can’t have shit

tumblr tuesday: carina’s cosmic cliffs

Cosmic cliffs, our beloveds. ICYMI, @nasa​​ recently shared some neat new images from the James Webb telescope. So, of course, you all got to work. Whether it’s plonking your faves on a star-birthing nebula or celebrating the sparkle in its uncolonized state, there’s art for that. 

@cassieoh imagines Crowley lazing around Carina in his snake form:

@sir-galahadnt styled the nebula in inspirobot chic using a quote from Hamlet (click through for the full quote):

@whatlizardry in oil pastels:

@assassin1513 just made it all sparkle a little more:

@jupitertheegg gave Starfire the perfect cosmic couch:

@richo1915 just said what everyone else was thinking:

@aesthetic-sweaters made a Kirby version:

@bird-wells214​ another loafer loafing on Carina’s cliff couch: 

@troisenator​ in watercolor:

And finally, some pixel art of the deep field in all its multitudes by @kekness​:

Tumblr has the best user driven tending algorithm out of any social media platform change my mind
