Remember when “jumping” used to be so much fun?

Proper usages for both. Now you know.
Here’s the gist if you don’t want to read the whole thing (although it’s short): use en dashes instead of “to” to indicate spans of time, e.g., (January–June). Em dashes separate or conjoin thoughts (like a semicolon or comma, but crisper if you ask me), e.g., Go get that — no wait — I changed my mind. Whether or not to add spaces on either side of the em dash is a preference thing as far as I can tell. I personally like the spaces.
So how does one use these characters?
If you’re on a Mac, it’s inexcusably easy: For an En Dash hit OPTION + “-“ (that’s the regular hyphen key). For an Em Dash hit SHIFT + OPTION + “-“. On a PC, it’s more complicated, naturally, so read this if you care.

You weren’t lyin’, Jon. Amazing. (And depressing) ;)

I love everything about this (and the whole line of products.) Read more about it here.

I propose a national holiday to be held on June 25th of each year—six months from Christmas—in which we all dedicate a day to see how much of the stuff we already own we can give away to those that have less than we do. Nothing is off limits here: clothes, furniture, cars, computers, televisions, airline miles, money, unused gift cards, bicycles, musical instruments, vacation houses… You are limited only by your creativity and your generosity.
It’s not a time to get rid of your junk that nobody wants. Nor is it a time to buy gifts. It’s a day to free yourself from the syndrome of stuff.
Who’s with me?
This is a great idea. I’m in.

Please, everyone, I beg of you: WATCH THIS MOVIE. Even if you think it’s all “political and polarizing” or just plain boring, please watch it. It’s not at all boring. It’s fascinating and powerful and profoundly important.
(For Netflix people, here’s a link to the free instant streaming version — no excuse!)
Oh, and those of you that have seen it, you know the hidden camera scenes of the people loading chickens into cages at night? I have literally done that. It’s crazy! …and awful… long story…
Great theme by the way; one of the best on Tumblr!.
If you were one of the first thousnd or so to install the theme then you will want to reinstall it. The current version handles pages nicely by putting the page links at the top under the title.
I was googling something today and stumbled across this link by accident. It’s pretty fun to read through and see the progression of how things came to be at Tumblr. I remember when they were still using Wordpress for their blog. Quite a difference a couple years make.
