Tumblr Web Clipper

There's quite a bit of treasure to be found in Tumblr, and I like to save things to reference later in places I can find them. Zotero and Omnivore handle most of what I like to save, but the Tumblr UI adds a lot of extra cruft that takes up space or affects readability, and other Obsidian-compatible web clippers I've tried seem to have trouble with Tumblr images.

This bookmarklet copies a Tumblr post to the clipboard, including images (hotlinked) and frontmatter that I can paste into Obsidian.

Notes

Known issues

As it sends text/html to the clipboard, the frontmatter formatting is preserved in markdown with two spaces at the end of each line which will stop the fenced content from being identified as frontmatter. Those have to be removed.
