how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)
there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~
I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first
url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order
url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes
url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc
url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant)
the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog!
caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks.
if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else
if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)
#save#random reblog#do not lose#(because seriously I have got to find something better than the search function that won’t turn up posts I *know* are there)

Crowded House - Mean To Me
youtube
1986 first single from Crowded House self titled first album. Neil Finn,Nick Seymour and Paul Hester. Song takes awhile to start as the boys mess around a bit.
#Crowded House#sure why not introduce them to this blog now?#this was only the third music video of theirs I watched…#…and the one that made me realize the hyperfixation was finally upon me#(all this time after I got earwormed in January)#Neil Finn#Paul Hester#Nick Seymour

one hyperfixated tumblr mutual has the power of six hundred thousand ad campaigns
#random reblog#I apologize to all my 80s hair metal and 70s rock mutuals -and thank you extensively for putting up with me and my Squeeze hype#and apologize and thank y'all in advance for the impending Crowded House/Split Enz hype#(I don't regret those hypes like I might have in the past...)#(...and it's not gonna stop me from enjoying them...)#(...but I do apologize for everyone with the whiplash between my menagerie of favorite bands and how different they are)

Uhhh, Tumblr, I don’t know what’s going on with your “based on your likes” algorithm right now, but I don’t know what about my likes chock-full of band-related pictures made you think I might want to see a suggested post of some random girl doing yoga on hands and knees with her shirt hanging loose so certain anatomical features were on full display from under the hem… and considering I didn’t see any tags on it, I sure hope that was a one-off glitch in the system my “not interested” dismissal will solve, and that it’s not because bots have found another way to sneak their unwanted posts into things…
#tumblr problems#random#please tell me we’re not gonna go through another random spell of seeing all kinds of weird stuff#(and by that I don’t mean the kind of weird stuff we’re actually here for)

Have been a bit absent lately, but I can’t not observe the 50th anniversary of my very favorite album with some GIFs! I’m in good company - turns out it’s Justin Hayward’s favorite album as well. The Moody Blues released “On the Threshold of a Dream” in the UK on April 25th, 1969. While the single “Never Comes the Day” was a flop, the album was a resounding success for the band. And indeed, while the songs themselves are lovely, the album in its entirety is a far better listening experience!
From a 1969 promotional video for “Never Comes the Day.” Graeme’s clapping just fills me with joy.
#The Moody Blues#awesome gifs#(oh… I didn’t realize when I said I was gonna reblog it again on the proper date how hard that bottom left gif was gonna hit…)#they’re so happy and lovable in this video#Justin Hayward#John Lodge#Graeme Edge#Mike Pinder#Ray Thomas

Well, between all the bad news I got on the phone call home last night and finding out about Mike Pinder this morning, I kinda wanna just let myself spiral into this new hyperfixation for comfort now...
#delete later#pardon my insanity#well Squeeze is still good comfort too#kinda wanna let the Crowded House brainrot set in though...#of course I'm listening to The Moodies today because of Mike...#...but everything going on at home isn't gonna go away overnight#three items of bad news in a span of 12 hours#and now it's setting in

Eight days after the realization that I’m heading toward another hyperfixation, and I think it’s setting in. (Sorting out how I’m gonna approach this before adding yet another band to this blog…)
#Insanitypost#the fact that I was already on a Squeeze hype when my dad started getting me into Crowded House kinda set this up…#(and lord knows if those two bands had ended up in the same room together during their heydays it would have been a frenzy)#i got brain-radioed#…and then I watched a music video right after my exam and brain-rotted over it (there was chaos… and I love chaos)#so I guess it’s now started
