my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

i have a private pinned post that just has a link to this dashboard on it, it's great. two dashboards for life

wow! i was really hoping someone would organically reverse-engineer this and find that dash.

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

these are all just taking existing feeds of content and putting them in a dashboard-like format... the "Stuff for you" tab/feed is the same idea.

On this day, 21 August 1791, the Haitian revolution began as enslaved Africans rose up in the northern plantations of the then-French colony known as St Domingue.
Historian CLR James explained how enslaved people prepared the revolt:
“Voodoo was the medium of the conspiracy. In spite of all prohibitions, the slaves travelled miles to sing and dance and practise the rites and talk; and now, since the revolution, to hear the political news and make their plans.”
Then, once the rebellion began:
“The slaves destroyed tirelessly. Like the peasants in the Jacquerie or the Luddite wreckers, they were seeking their salvation in the most obvious way, the destruction of what they knew was the cause of their sufferings; and if they destroyed much it was because they had suffered much. They knew that as long as these plantations stood their lot would be to labour on them until they dropped. The only thing was to destroy them. From their masters they had known rape, torture, degradation, and, at the slightest provocation, death. They returned in kind.”
Over the next 13 years, the rebels would eventually overthrow slavery and create the world’s first Black republic. Their revolutionary army also defeated Spanish colonial forces in what is now the Dominican Republic, as well as the British army, which came to the aid of the colonialists. The US feared that the revolution could spread to enslaved people within their own borders, and refused to recognise the republic, only eventually doing so in 1862.
In this book, CLR James recounts the history of the Haitian revolution, and other Black rebellions around the world: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/a-history-of-pan-african-revolt-c-l-r-james
