The term “fortnight” will always have a negative connotation from now on.

has this been done yet

Gentlemen, it has been a privilege reblogging with you tonight.

WELCOME BACK! For those who logged off, this is what you missed.

1. @staff made a post pretty much saying “Your stuff isn’t getting deleted, just hidden from everyone but you” and “Yeah we know you hate the term “female presenting nipples” but we ain’t gonna stop saying it” 2. If a blog has a pixelated icon that means they got hit by the ban, you cannot view that blog outside the sidebar. You cannot even view their archive. Allegedly if you follow the advice in this post it’ll be fixed but only if it was an accidental flag (aka a real sfw blog) 3. The post Staff made including examples of what was ok to post. It got flagged. 4. Yes, the bots are still here. Yes they are still stealing posts and putting porn links on them. Yes there are still ads with stuff more sexual than they allow in posts. Yes innocent things are still getting flagged. 5. So yes, the site is still here and staff are still morons.

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

You know that most people on tumblr are on here to see the smut artwork and such?

What if the sides have their own sides and Thomas is just one giant nestling Russian doll thing??

Oof

Instead of trying to make Mars hospitable, it would be easier to prevent the Earth from becoming inhospitable.

Me, to the Fallout fandom on Tumblr after everyone says they’re leaving bc of the new policy, in a Clark Griswald voice: Nobody’s leaving!

You went to school one morning and find out you, and your friend, just became magical girls. Problem is, you don’t want to waste your life solving problems. Write about your experience as a team of magical girl super villains.

The problem is I’m not a girl

And I am not a serial killer, until proven otherwise of course, yet I write about them

Dreams are a lot like Telltale games. If your brain wants something to happen, your decisions will be ignored and it will happen.

‘Alright, spill. What. The. Actual. Fuck is going on here. Why every crew on this fricking ship been avoiding me?.’ my annoyance finally boil over. Its been two earth week i’ve board this ship as their maintenance crew, but everyone here been avoiding me like i’m the plague or something. I finally corner one of the shipwright in the mess hall. I can feel the other’s gaze and i don’t care.

‘Please Human, please don’t hurt me. I’m begging you, please’. The Jantur, as i recal was a peacefull race from the Jantora system. But this insessant begging is weird. It was like he was truly begging me to spare him, her?

'Calm down, calm down. I won’t hurt you. I just wanted to know what the hell is going on with you guys. I know i’m the only human on board but this is borderline specism’.

'Specism?’, she, i presume, ask peering trough that ungodly big eyes. 'yes, you only choose to interact with your own species, and shunt others because they are different.’ i explain, trying not to look at her eyes.

'But human, you people are terrifying. We’ve read about you. There are handbooks and pamphlet warning us not be on your bad side.’

'What!? You have what about us? And stop calling me human, my name is Sarah.’

'Please don’t kill me human Sarah. The handbook state, and i quote, human survivality and adaptability are the highest among the galaxy’s vast species. Human are also omnivours and will devour anything they seen as food, even it could hurt their own bodies, i.e fugu fish and pineapple.’ He explain, quevering in fear.
