I’m sorry. Your url is amazing. But you’re still a bot.

flowersforroadkill asked:

Ok so. There’s a “project makeover” add that straight up shows someone touching a cartoon pig’s anus. I can’t disable the add, on the “…” menu it only says “Go Ad-Free” or “More about tumblr ads.”

This isn’t the first disturbing ad I’ve gotten on tumblr, and I’ve never had luck contacting support about it. Any ideas? /:

best thing you can do is report the ad to support, i think. but if it's not violating our guidelines, then i don't think we'll take it down. i haven't seen that ad, so i have no idea if it's possibly violating our guidelines. ads for mobile games like that (which is what it looks like) usually have some kind of eye-catching click-baity thing that edges close to the rules (but doesn't break them), like what you're describing.

Heya! I'll be sending this ask to @wip when the askbox opens again, but I wanted to hopefully get your thoughts on it first.

Currently, the top navigation bar looks like this for me (Android, v29.5.0.110) when fully extended:

I understand wanting the shop icon easily accessible from the main page, but this feels like it takes up a lot of screen real estate. Have there been any discussions about docking the store icon to the right of the navigation bar instead, something like this?

Or are there plans to add more icons up there besides the store one? I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this change and its permanence--

i do not know, but i hope we fill that blank area with something. and that something better not just be the logo.

funny how tumblr started as a "microblogging" platform, and there's really nothing micro or blog about this place anymore. maybe we should try going back to that.

I know this is a longshot but I feel like Tumblr is the best place to ask- does anyone have the official Joe Biden Spore file? I have not been able to find it on the old Sporepedia links that I found.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about I know what you’re thinking- “Joe Biden Spore model? OFFICIAL Joe Biden Spore creature model?”
