@cfda’s NYFWM is back, and so is our tradition of sending some of our top fashion Tumblrs out into the big, bad world of catwalks and platforms. Please welcome:
These guys are giving you an all-access pass to the best pants this industry has to offer. Follow their Tumblrs, the #NYFWM tag, and of course, @fashion: your hub for all things menswear on Tumblr.

This is normally when we talk about what was trending this week. Video games, pop music, dumb jokes. Lots of that stuff happened this week. This just isn’t the week for it.
Philando Castile was fatally shot in his car by a police officer who stopped him for a broken taillight.
Alton Sterling was fatally shot in front of a convenience store by a police officer who had him pinned to the ground.
A civilian and twelve police officers were shot, five of them fatally, by sniper fire in Dallas during protests related to these shootings.
What can we do? Listen to the voices of those affected. Resist the temptation to be passive. Care and focus that care.
Another reason to turn on replies: Starting today, you can delete any unwanted ones from your post notes. Just tap the note you don’t want to see, select the relevant option, and away it’ll go. (If it’s not on your own original post, tapping the note lets you report it to our support team.)
You can also hide inappropriate reblog comments using the same technique.
Just a little tweak to give you more control over your notescape. Enjoy.

Ok, well, really they only have 3 different The Mask Animated Series tapes, but why do they have so many copies? Who donated these and why did they have them? Oh, fuck, now I have a lot of Mask tapes…
69 Mask tapes to be exact. They were all unopened. I don’t even have a VCR. Even if I did, I wouldn’t need to buy every copy they had. Why did I do this? Well, let’s get them out and play with them…
This is not very much fun.
Every tape comes with the most incredible coupon. Some tapes actually came with two, so thank you very much, packaging errors.
The true bummer here is that these coupons expired 20 years ago. The $3 refund does not appear to be worth the effort and I wonder if anyone ever bothered. You had to buy 4 Totino’s pizzas, pizza rolls, or hearty pockets between 10/24/95 and 5/31/96, include the upc from the packages, the receipts from when you purchased those awful food products with the awful food products circled, this coupon, the proof of purchase tab from the Mask box and the receipt from when you purchased the tape during the previously mentioned dates. If anyone did this for $3, I would like to hear from you. Print out this post, take a picture of you eating the printout instead of a Totino’s party pizza, pizza rolls, or hearty pocket, and email it to me with a short story describing how you spent your hard earned $3. Anyway, I guess I’ll epoxy the tapes together and start coating them in resin.
Yes, and do something with those stupid coupons.
TOTINO’S PIZZA ROLLS SMMOKIN’! Now do it several times.
I can’t just throw away the boxes either. That would be terribly wasteful.
Surprisingly, I had more than enough tapes to do what I wanted to do, but the boxes came up short, so the other side of this had to be a little different.
I suppose this is good, because one day I might want to know what I’m missing out on, having ruined nearly all of the precious tapes. I can just look at this side and read what the episodes were about. I think I watched some of this cartoon when I was a kid. I fucking loved the movie when it came out, so I’m pretty sure I watched this show. Anyway, what’s next?
Oh. I guess I’m really bad at taking pictures of the process. It’s a bookcase. There was only one tape I didn’t have to open.
Maybe I’ll get a VCR one day so I can watch this tape.
There’s just one more thing.
Bookcases are usually just so damn boring.
Now I need Dark Horse to print some nice Library Editions of The Mask, because the out of print Omnibuses are Fuck That expensive online. Maybe if I hadn’t spent so much money on old tapes, epoxy, resin, glue, and christmas lights, I could buy one or two of the omnibuses in questionable condition, but then where would I put the books? I now have the perfect place to put as many Library Editions as it takes. Get on it, Dark Horse.
This is some of the finest storytelling ever on Tumblr or possibly anywhere.
Over the weekend, Orlando saw a terrible act of violence that left many of us feeling helpless, furious, scared, numb—and resolved to take action. If you want to join us in fighting back against hatred and divisiveness through solidarity and compassion, here are some places you can turn to:
The #orlandounited tag, where Muslim and LGBTQ solidarity is being reaffirmed in the face of those who would tear it apart.
Post it Forward, a safe space for you to share your feelings and experiences around all this, and to find other people who are sharing theirs.
#WeAreOrlando, which is hosting fundraisers all across the country. There’s probably one near you.
The Pulse Victims Fund. They’re working to raise as much as possible for these victims and their families, as well as distribute the fund as fast as possible. Judging by their success so far, compassion is currently walloping hatred.
Now’s the time for love. Stay safe and supportive, and let’s stand together through this.
Tap it to see your GIF-ables—videos, bursts, Live Photos—or shoot a new GIF on the spot. Isn’t it incredible what science can do?
And now: Write on your GIFs
Like, right on your GIFs. In three different fonts, infinite font sizes, and in every color you could reasonably expect. Try these fun tricks:
Cover a beautiful face with a more-beautiful emoji face.
Spin your text upside-down. People love that.
Shrink your text into unreadable dots. Now you have freckles!
Tap Aa while editing text to change fonts. But you’d have figured that out on your own.
Tap Aa while not editing text to start a fresh block of text. Do it again. Do it again forever.
Skim the rainbow to change the color, obviously. Drag your finger way off to the side and some weirder stuff happens.
Don’t forget rare Unicode characters. This mushroom ⍾ for example. Or this pensive snowman ☃. Or a triple integral symbol ∭. Or this expressionless square █.
