"Haha I want the feel of tumblr in another community but I want them to be user-funded. Bleebus.shart seems like the answer but they won't let me upload files above 8 megs so..."

I am saying this so gently and with no condescension: no website with two braincells to rub together will allow you to upload 8 meg+ files without the cash outlay being offset by VC or data brokering. Nobody. If they say they are doing it, they are lying to you about how the website is funded or they have the budgeting skills of a 10-year-old.

water era of my art

80% of AI/cheating problems are the same problems we've had for decades. On an individual level, the most important thing is still inspiring people and convincing them that art/learning/discovery/[path not valued by society] is worthwhile and what makes you human. It's never a kid's fault for adopting values pushed by the adults and systems around them; it's the only world they know, and it's up to us to expand that.

When I was younger, I could only define my creative desires by their usefulness. People only ever asked whether I planned to monetize my "hobbies" and the question was always presented as a binary and as if it were the only important question there was. I knew, internally, that artistic expression was necessary to me, but I couldn't tell you why. Luckily, I held onto that feeling long enough to meet other creatives and grow alongside them, and I'd persist in creating silly/imperfect/cringe things despite the seemingly nonexistent payoff, and eventually I'd learn that for myself, the value of artistic impulse is simply the existence of it. Chasing it makes me who I am.

i think you can recognize that the usage of ai by students of all grades and all around the world to cheat through their assignments is not a personal moral failing but just yet another symptom of the mechanistic if not, at this point, basically dehumanized processes of our education systems which are nowadays almost solely focused on demanding production from students and churning out degrees required for jobs while ignoring any tangible verification of their actual knowledge, intellectual development and critical thinking skills, much less their mental health, while also pointing out that using ai to write your essay isn't a power move to cheat a flawed system, it is behaving exactly as the system designed, it is cheating yourself by giving up your ability to speak, think for and challenge yourself and bowing your head to powers who will only benefit from not being questioned, and the only reason text genai is so widespread right now is because it was born on the perfect breeding ground that is anti intellectualism

hi wow, I can't believe this 12-year-old post is still getting used, what a run we've had!!

I received a few messages about this code not working anymore - it seems like tumblr no longer loads your blog if you try to access a page that doesn't exist :\ Before, it would load a Not Found page that uses your theme (which is the important bit, because the code is on your theme, and the code needs to be there in order to work). Now, It will load their generic used-all-around-tumblr Not Found page (thus, a page that does not use your theme), and redirect you to the dashboard.

That sucks, and there's not really a workaround. The above code is not any special hack for tumblr - it's a very typical way to redirect urls via javascript - and I cannot stop tumblr from loading their generic page. You can still redirect pages that do exist on your old blog, if that is an option for you, and the home page redirect will still work, but the overall functionality of this code is more limited now.

Redirect your old tumblr links to your new url--the correct way!

A quick Google search told me that apparently no one knows how to do this properly :P You can redirect all your links from your old tumblr url to the same respective links on your new tumblr url (as long as you have your old url saved i.e. on a sideblog). This doesn’t just always redirect old links to your new tumblr’s homepage.

This is like going to: http://oddhouredproductivity.tumblr.com/tagged/tips (try it!)

and the URL automatically changes to: http://oddhour.tumblr.com/tagged/tips

If you’ve ever tried to find a post from someone’s old url on their new url, you know how annoying it can be.

How to use: Add this script either before your end body tag (</body>) or in the head section (<head></head>) of the tumblr where you saved your old URL. Change oddhour.tumblr.com to whatever your new URL is.

<script> /* redirect to new blog :: questions? ask oddhour on tumblr */ location.replace('http://oddhour.tumblr.com' + location.pathname); </script>

To add a delay before redirecting, refer to this post.

For a simple redirect theme like mine or for an example of this script in use (with delay), see the code here.

Have a question? First check the #redirect code tag.
