Tumblr-dilemma: What do you do when you like a post about an unpleasant topic (i.e. this one)? Is a “like” appropriate?
What about when someone writes something personal and mildly depressing? Sometimes I want to “like” the post, as sort of a “pat on the back, i’m with you” statement. But I’m afraid it will come off as “that jackass 2arrs2ells is basking in my misery.”

If Tumblr ran the Internet (part 2)
Twitter would keep “page breaks” consistent as you read through tweets.
Twitter always shows you the 21st-most-recent tweet at the top of Page 2. This is frustrating if you’re reading through old tweets as people are twittering - because the new tweets will “push” old tweets to the next page, and you’ll end up seeing tweets multiple times.
Tumblr is much smarter about this, and “freezes” your dashboard as you read through it. When you navigate to the next page, you see the next group of posts without repeats. New posts don’t show up (and “push” everything down) until you refresh the dashboard home.
Every time I queue or delay publishing of a Tumblr post, I get angry about Gmail’s lack of a similar feature.
I’d love to have (almost) all of my outgoing mail held for ~1 hr, to keep myself from using email as IM. I’d also love to delay the delivery of the emails I write at 4 a.m. until a reasonable hour. Grrr.
Tumblr Bug
I’m falling in love with the queued post feature (I always Tumbl in bursts, and I hate the idea of taking over someone’s dashboard).
But it seems like there’s a bug. I want the settings above (post between 10 a.m. and 2 a.m.), but after I hit Save the form resets to 12 a.m. -> 12 a.m.. It seems like it won’t let me wrap around past midnight.
(P.S. If you’re reading this Marco, I’d also love an option to make “add to queue” my default Publishing Option!)
