In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours. 

The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.  

Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.

However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.

Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.

This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable. 

To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue. 

Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users. 

Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.

6am to 6am CET, for those who need to know

Okay so ive never liked tagging and I very much am a silent follower (I love all of your content by the way!!) but I honestly that feel that this is important. You have what’s most important – FOLLOWERS – and you can really signal boost this shit. Tumblr’s response has been to take down sfw and queer content instead of the child porn, pornbots and neonazi content, which is NOT acceptable. So many people have had their content flagged for NO REASON AT ALL. not to mention that this was done only after apple removed it from the app store. Its clear staff doesn’t listen to their consumers’ demands and fix shit when they need to,, so this is the best way to get staff’s attention and LISTEN to what we want,,, so please reblog this if you support it, and let your followers and mutuals know!! ♥️♥️♥️

I usually wouldn’t share something like this on my art blog, but this is the kind of friendly and peaceful protesting that I’m into. I do not like fearmongering, I do not like panic inducing posts but this… this is something I want to support.


Let’s do this, people! And please share so it reaches more users on this website!

If you agree, please share!

SIGN THIS PETITION TO KEEP ADULT CONTENT

https://www.change.org/p/tumblr-com-allow-nsfw-content-on-tumblr
https://www.change.org/p/tumblr-com-allow-nsfw-content-on-tumblr

Tumblr wants to take away all adult content on the platform, abandoning a large majority of it’s userbase which uses the site for this exact matter. Please sign the above petition if you would like to keep tumblr the way it is. They need to be shown that they will lose a HUGE amount of their traffic if they’re too carry this through.

PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE

Please adopt this large boy

My sister is moving far far away and cannot bring this precious being with her. This cat has thoroughly charmed me and I would do anything for him.

His name is Taurus. He is 5 years old, neutered, and in generally good health. He is very affectionate with humans and other cats.

  • Keen interest in birds
  • Exceptionally soft tummy
  • Will let you mash your face into his fluff
  • Chungy
  • Always well dressed

We live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and I’m personally willing to drive long distances to ensure this lad finds a good home.

Help the kitty! Please! 

LISTEN UP

dontbugmeimantisocial:

I’m American. I live right in the southwest and let me tell you, it’s hell over here right now, but it will become a lot worse if Article 13 is passed. 

You’ve probably heard about Article 13, and if you haven’t, go watch this video right now. Whatever you’re doing can wait for sixteen minutes and two seconds, because a second-long vote could destroy everything online.

Whether you’re from Europe or not, this law could affect you, so you should care Article 13 because it is going to destroy the online lives that you have built. No more posting memes, no more remixes, and no more YouTubers from anywhere. 

Jacksepticeye will no longer be able to upload. 

Markiplier will no longer be able to upload. 

MatPat won’t.

How to Basic. 

All of your favorite content creators are at risk of losing their jobs because people want stricter laws on copyright, which will support the larger media companies but kill smaller creators. And because of this, we may lose everything online. 

So spread the word! Reblog this, reblog other people’s posts, find petitions, write your own posts! If you’re in Europe, contact your MEP’s and get them to understand how it will affect the people who use the internet. 

Please.

I’m in dire need of help right now, so I’m opening commissions and tarot readings. 

  • Lineart/Sketches: 20$
  • Basic pieces: 35$
  • Shaded pieces: 45$
  • Character ref sheets: 60$ +10 for NSFW reference bits.
  • For all pieces: +10 for each extra character, +15 for NSFW

Readings:

I use old Rider Waite, Labyrinthos and three card spreads. I will use custom spreads by request if given a link to the requested spread. My deck is an heirloom Rider-Waite that’s been in the family for three generations, and it’s a blunt little fucker. 

  • Daily three card spread: 5$
  • 4-6 card spreads: 10$
  • 6+ card spreads: 15$

My wages are being garnished and my paychecks are 2/3 what I usually make thanks to that.

I was deferred from donating plasma due to taking hormones. (basically bc I’m trans, idek)

I got a phone call saying I make 180$ too much to qualify for food stamps, because they look at gross income, not my situation.

I don’t know what to do until I get this garnishment taken care of, and I’m still waiting on paperwork to come in to get on a loan rehabilitation program, but even then, it’ll be a few months until they stop. I’m tried of asking for help. I know you guys are tired of seeing me ask for help. But still. I need help. 

I am also taking donations here at paypal.me. 

 Anything helps. Everything helps, and is GREATLY appreciated. 

Commission/Reading details under the cut! (As well as a sample tarot reading!)

Keep reading

Please do what you can to help my friend here. They’ve had such a shit hand of luck and are willing to work so hard to change things. I know it’s the holiday season, but hey, you can always commission a sketch for a gift for someone, right?

If you can’t donate or commission anything, then please signal boost and help support an ex-military trans member of fandom!

A journalist from a local London newspaper approached me this week about the petition I started about a month ago for a Freddie Statue in London

For Freddie I revealed it all and would do it again if needed

Thank you for reaching out to me Josh

I hope with this we’ll be able to collect more signatures

Freddie deserves that statue to be put in London ASAP

TUMBLR JUST KILLED LINKS

Yes, you read it right.

As of today, November 17, 2018, any post with links, any links, even to other tumblr posts, just don’t show up anymore in tumblr’s search engine.

I just found out about it after I posted a fic with a link to my masterlist and it got little to no notes (it shouldn’t). I was right – the moment I deleted the links, my post magically appeared in the search again. Wow.

Please spread the word to warn the others.

so Paradise California is gone

i haven’t seen any noise about this on tumblr yet, but a fire has completely wiped out a small town in california.

they’re calling it the camp fire. over 20,000 residents have been evacuated so far, the last area estimates i heard were over an hour ago at 18,000 acres and its still zero percent contained.

this is the smoke from about 18 miles away from the fire three hours ago. if you know anyone near chico, paradise, oroville or durham california you might want to check they’re okay

UPDATE: 4PM FRI NOV. 9, 2018

the fire has completely walked over paradise, magalia, and much of the rest of butte county. it’s under 10% containment and moving towards chico, which was been mostly evacuated as well. it’s been documented as one of the top 20 deadliest fires seen in california. i know many of the people personally whose lives have been destroyed by this fire. my aunt and uncle’s home, of whom we’re very close to, was demolished last night, same goes for family friends and others who lived in paradise– which is completely gone. there are 5 confirmed deaths, several dozen missing people.

EVACUATION SITES STILL OPEN AS OF 1 HOUR AGO:

  • Butte County Fairgrounds (199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948)
  • Yuba-Sutter Fairground (442 Franklin Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991)
  • Glenn County Fairgrounds (221 E Yolo St, Orland, CA 95963)
  • Chester Memorial Hall (22 Gay Street, Chester)

HOW TO HELP/DONATE:

  1. “Currently the best way to contribute is to make a monetary donation via the North Valley Community Foundation website.” -abc7news.com
  2. “Supplies: Hope Center in Oroville (1950 Kitrick Ave Ste. A) is taking donations. Hours: Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Needs: warm clothes, shoes, socks, coats (primarily for elderly residents).” -abc7news.com

the majority of those affected by the fire in paradise were elderly people. and having known paradise and magalia myself for years, it’s not a wealthy part of california. these people will need help, and lots of it.

if you have any questions, you can message me personally or seek information online or from the above references personally.

if you cannot help yourself, please spread the word and reblog. so many wonderful people are going through a terrible thing and need your help.
