How the heck do you keep on top of Tumblr?

I really like some of the alternative/political stuff being posted on Tumblr, but I find it difficult to keep up with because of the lack of a reading list feature. If you keep up with Tumblr how do you manage it? Bonus points if your answer is something other than "refresh it every 10 minutes all day." :-)

Me too. I heartily dislike Tumblr, since it doesn't really facilitate discussion in the way that my preferred form (ye olde classic blog) does. With the comments scattered among fifty-gazillion "so-and-so reposted this" messages, conversation via comment threads seems pretty impossible, to my eye. There are one or two Tumblr accounts I have any real willingness to follow, and for those I have made RSS feeds, and I follow them on my DW flist. The rest I ignore, unless someone on my flist posts a direct link to a post on Tumblr that is of interest to me.
