so i guess today people woke up and logged in just to see how crazy this censorship can get - now you can’t even see your own posts if they were (obviously incorrectly) marked as explicit. actually, there’s a way to see them.

you just have to go through the tag you use for your edits. posts that were marked explicit will look like this:

and if you click on the post, you’ll see this:

but take a look at the address bar

this is the post number. if you copy it and go to tumblr dot com/post number, you’ll see the post and will be able to edit it.

you can message support asking to review your post (since now it is the only way i believe) & also add a tag to your flagged posts to check if they’ve been unflagged.

how can these people be running fucking tumblr and not realize that everything they do is going to be instantly life-hacked?

There is a post going around saying that these tags are no longer auto-suggested. Whether it was faked or not, it is not correct as of 10:00 AM, PST on Dec 18th 2018.

No porn on tumblr we describe our nudes in detail instead

today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

angery!

he’s not angry……….that’s what turtles do before they fuck things

he’s

he’s just gonna fuck the shoe

I am appalled. There's been a fourth, purple Powerpuff Girl for over a year now and NO ONE TOLD ME im calling all of you out y'all not invited to my birthday party

THE COCOAPUFF GIRLS

So about this project. For awhile now I’ve noticed almost every single time I see a darker skinned black woman “going viral”, she’s half naked, oiled up, and/or sexualized in some way shape or form. It’s very rarely ever “Look at this amazing dark skinned woman who accomplished this thing.” Or “Look at her smile, she’s gorgeous”.  Please don’t misinterpret what I’m saying. There is nothing wrong with darker women and black women in general being free and expressive about their sexuality and provocative features. BUT that is NOT ALL they are. They are so much more than sexual beings, but for some reason, that seems to be almost the only thing that grabs viral appreciation. So here’s my attempt to have darker skinned black women go viral for just being cute, creative, stylish, bubbly, beautiful, and black. Aside from the videographer EVERYONE involved in this project IS A BLACK WOMAN. I hope you guys like it. I ask that if you enjoyed this and agree with my objective, share it with a few people please.

A special thank you to @aggienes, I couldn’t have done this without her.

college is just the worst opinions you’ve ever heard being counted as participation points

if you’ve ever taken an ethics class with 19 year old rich white business majors, you should automatically get your degree because enduring four months of Ryan Henry Harrington III’s hot takes will be the hardest thing you ever have to do

How to Backup your Tumblr

I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.  Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes. 

P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything. 

this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.

reference. 

*Signal Boost*

After I heard on Twitter that the changes go into effect on my birthday of all days (Dec.17). I was trying to figure out how I can back up my Tumblr. I have alot of original fiction and fanfiction originally posted here and I’m in the process of moving from my forum (due to former owner selling zetaboard to Tapatalk and leaving the majority of everyone blindsided..but that’s another headache.) So thank you for this information.

I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.

hey so Emily Carroll is my absolute favorite horror artist and her stories are some of the greatest things i’ve ever had the ghastly pleasure to read. many of her comics are free online, such as the classic His Face All Red

HEADS UP FALLOUT 76 COLLECTOR EDITION OWNERS

Bethesda is offering 500 in-game Atoms because of the Nylon Bag issue right now.

THIS IS A SCAM. It’s a Legal Loophole. Because they advertised and promised a CANVAS bag but sent a Nylon one instead, you are entitled to sue them for LARGE SUMS OF MONEY over false advertisement.

If you accept the 500 Atoms (about $5 irl), this is considered “compensation”, legally forfeiting your right to sue. It’s not because they’re sorry, it’s because they need to save themselves from getting sued. “We have no intention of correcting this issue” was their exact answer when questioned about the bags.

If you’re still willing to defend bethesda at this point, you are part of what’s wrong with the AAA games industry. You are telling these companies that you are willing to throw away your money for cheap products at a high price.

Fun and good thing to say to a mad gamer in their video game who is YELLING: “hey buddy its okay. its just a fun toy. We’re just playing with a fun toy together, okay?”

Y’all laugh, one time I told a guy on Reddit “It’s ok that you didn’t like the movie” about Star Wars and I have never seen someone get SO mad SO fast
