Can You Get to the Beginning of a Tumblr?
Ah, Tumblr, the digital equivalent of a basement full of dusty comic books and long-forgotten memorabilia. In theory, you want to dive back to the ancient beginnings of a Tumblr blog? Well, buckle up, Buttercup! While it may feel like trying to navigate a labyrinth, a little bit of clever maneuvering can make it happen.
First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room: Tumblr’s interface might be a bit of a mess, but if you really want to explore the past, it does offer some tools that, with a sprinkle of magic (and maybe some frantic clicking), can help you get there.
If you’re specifically chasing after the treasure trove of content from the Glass Cannon Podcast’s Tumblr, you’re in luck! Most of their posts have surfaced on their blog at glasscannonpodcast.com. Just waltz right over to their blog page. At the bottom, there’s a subtle little option that says “Go to the very last page.” Click on that, and voilà! You’ll find the oldest blog post, which will allow you to work your way backward through their digital history. Yes, it’s like archaeological digging, but less dirty!
You should note that this method isn’t perfect. The Tumblr usage started dwindling around episode 120 or thereabouts, so you can expect the selections toward the end to be a little scant. But hey, at least they had their “spoiler” alert game strong! So if you’re like most of us, you can scroll quickly, and dodge potential spoilers. Seriously, the defense strategy is like scrolling through an episode recap—a little tension, a hint of excitement, but no devastating reveals that ruin your binge-watch.
Using Tumblr’s Archive Feature
Now, if you feel like diving into the murky depths of actual Tumblr to find those gems, worry not! There’s an archive feature that will work wonders for you. Just select the month and year you’re interested in, and bang, you’re right there! It’s like having a time machine minus the flux capacitor.
For tech-savvy individuals out there, you can also leverage the Tumblr API to grab those posts programmatically. Just use the “before” parameter for advanced filtering. But let’s be honest—this could be as tricky as herding cats.

So, what’s the bottom line? Navigating back to the beginning of a Tumblr might require some persistence, light adventuring, and a dash of tech savviness. Whether you want the history of funny memes or the touching posts from your favorite podcast, you’ve got the tools at your disposal. Still feeling lost in the digital fog?
