🌟 New

We’ve updated the text for the blog setting that said it would “hide your blog from search results”. Unfortunately, we’ve never been able to guarantee hiding content from search crawlers, unless they play nice with the standard prevention measures of robots.txt and noindex. With this in mind, we’ve changed the text of that setting to be more accurate, insofar as we discourage them, but cannot prevent search indexing. If you want to completely isolate your blog from the outside internet and require only logged in folks to see your blog, then that’s the separate “Hide [blog] from people without an account” setting, which does prevent search engines from indexing your blog.

When creating a poll on the web, you can now have 12 poll options instead of 10. Wow.

For folks using the Android app, if you get a push notification that a blog you’re subscribed to has a new post, that push will take you to the post itself, instead of the blog view.

For those of you seeing the new desktop website layout, we’ve eased up the spacing between columns a bit to hopefully make things feel less cramped. Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback about this! We’re still triaging more feedback as the experiment continues.

🛠 Fixed

While experimenting with new dashboard tab configuration options, we accidentally broke dashboard tabs that had been enabled via Tumblr Labs, like the Blog Subs tab. We’ve rolled back that change to fix those tabs.

We’ve fixed more problems with how we choose what content goes into blogs’ RSS feeds. This time we’ve fixed a few issues with how answer post content is shown as RSS items.

We’ve also fixed some layout issues with the new desktop website navigation, especially glitches caused when resizing the browser window.

Fixed a visual glitch in the new activity redesign experiment on web that was making unread activity items difficult to read in some color palettes.

Fixed a bug in Safari that was preventing mature content from being blurred properly.

When using Tumblr on a mobile phone browser, the hamburger menu icon will now have an indicator when you have an unread ask or submission in your Inbox.

🚧 Ongoing

Nothing to report here today.

🌱 Upcoming

We hear it’s crab day tomorrow on Tumblr. 🦀

We’re working on adding the ability to reply to posts as a sideblog! We’re just getting started, so it may be a little while before we run an experiment with it.

Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

February 2025 Escher Girls Patreon Thank You & Life/Site Update

Hi everyone! I hope everybody is okay despite everything going on in America and the world ):

As some of you who follow me elsewhere know, I've been recovering from sudden surgery for most of January which is why I haven't really been able to do much with the blog this month. I'm still recovering so this update will be short.

Before I had to get surgery, I managed to restore and update some old posts, they are: this old Black Widow post & an associated humorous redraw with Iron Man in her position instead, a great inked redraw of Yelena Belova by frequent EG contributor Deanna M. Brigman, a really strange cover of Yelena and Natasha fighting,and an old panel of Natasha from Avengers #399 which I finally found a source for.

All restored/fixed posts have working images, videos, and animated gifs (a lot were broken or deleted by either Tumblr or during the move to the new site), and have added image descriptions for screenreaders, sources, and links to the cross-posts on the site & on Tumblr.

I have also been looking through my email inbox and Tumblr inbox, and there's a bunch of submissions during the pandemic and site move period that I think I never got around to posting due to a combination of moving the site, the pandemic, and exam stresses. I'm really sorry for missing those, and I'm now processing and posting them all.

And now I want to give a huge sincere thank you to Escher Girls' January 2025 Patreon subscribers as well as those who have donated on Ko-Fi this month. Thank you so so much for your support and helping to keep this site afloat. If you want to join my Patreon, you can here, it helps me keep the site updated and running as hosting and domain costs continue to rise.

Also, if you want to help me with post-surgical recovery, you can donate at ko-fi here. I don't expect people to donate anything, especially in this economic climate, but if you want to, I would be really grateful and appreciative.

Anyway, without further ado, thank you so so much to the following for subscribing to the Escher Girls patreon last month:

Anne Adler Cat Mara Chris McKenzie Em Bardon First Time Trek Greg Sepelak Karrius Ken Trosaurus Kevin Carson Kim Wincen Leak  Manuel Dalton Mary Kuhner Max Schwarz Miriam Pody Morgan McEvoy randomisedmongoose Rebecca Breu Ringoko  Ryan Gerber Sam Mikes Sean Sea SpecialRandomCast  Thomas   

And also a very special thank yous to JohnnyBob8 and Imry for their generous donations through Ko-Fi!

And just a general huge thank you to everybody interacting and submitting things to the site. I love reading all your comments and your interactions. <3

Also, if anybody is on Fedi and wants to talk to me, I'm at https://urusai.social/@ami_angelwings.

I hope everybody stays safe and I'll see you next month,

Ami

PS: As a reminder, we added a button that links to the Escher Girls Tumblr and to our RSS feed for those who want to follow that way. (For newbies, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is basically a feed you can read using an RSS reader. Simply copy and paste https://eschergirls.com/rss.xml into an RSS reader and it will keep you up to date on Escher Girls!)

Make sure it is eschergirls.com and not eschergirls.tumblr.com, as that is Tumblr, and not the self-hosted site.

If you have any issues with the site or suggestions to improve it, please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know!

If you wish to support Escher Girls, you can subscribe to our Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/ami_angelwings or donate through Ko-Fi at: https://ko-fi.com/amiangelwings.

Otherkin News - Rules version 1.1

This was originally posted to our main blog on DreamWidth by Orion Scribner (FrameACloud) on April 19, 2025. To read discussion about or updates to this piece, please read it in its original location with its correct formatting, here. The formatting in this copy is not identical due to the limitations of this platform.

This post tells about the Otherkin News project, the code of conduct for participating in it, and the style guide for submitting news articles to it.

I. About this blog

1. Otherkin News is a collaborative, volunteer-run blog for sharing news for otherkin, therianthropes, fictionfolk, plural systems, and all sorts of alterhumans. We’ll talk about current events in our communities, and discuss newspaper articles that are about us. You can post links to news articles you've found that talk about otherkin, or new fictionkin essays that you or others have publicly posted. You can advertise here about your surveys of therianthropes, and your calls for submissions to alterhuman essay anthologies. You can share news that you've found that aren't about alterhumans but that you think are relevant to the interests and experiences of many of us. Everyone is welcome to subscribe and to submit articles to this blog.

2. Otherkin News is a community blog hosted on Dreamwidth, a social blogging platform. That means this blog isn’t a place where only one user posts, it’s a place where many users can post, similar to a web forum. Certain members of the community have a moderator role. Here is the official FAQ about Dreamwidth communities.

3. You don’t need to have an account on Dreamwidth to be notified of updates to this community. If you have an RSS feed reader, such as Feedly, you can paste this link into it to subscribe to our RSS feed: https://otherkinnews.dreamwidth.org/data/rss Or, if you use Mastodon, you can subscribe to this automated feed of it. A community moderator also manually links to the posts on Tumblr and on their personal Bluesky, if you use either of those social media platforms. Although we make these options available, we recommend that you read the posts on Dreamwidth itself, so that you don’t miss out on updates to individual posts and the discussions in the comments.

4. If you choose to use a Dreamwidth account to comment or post to this community, and you’re new to using this platform, then here are some resources that you can explore about it to make your experience better:

Carmentalis’s guide to Dreamwidth for Tumblr users is a brief overview of what this platform can do

SASO Referees’s guide on how to use Dreamwidth, which focuses on how to join a community and post to it

You can install Solarbird’s custom theme that makes DreamWidth work well on mobile devices.

Dreamwidth’s official FAQ is very thorough about all of its features.

II. Definitions

1. Alterhuman. As defined by the person who coined it in 2014, Lio of the Crossroads System, alterhuman is “a category of personal identity which encompasses identification that is alternative to the common societal idea of humanity” (Lio 2014). This for people who identify as nonhuman as well as people who identify as human in some ways, or wholly human in an unusual way (Lio 2023 May; Alt+H 2017; Sivaan 2025). For brevity, this blog uses this as a very broad umbrella term for types such as otherkin, therianthropes, fictionfolk, plural systems, and more. Some of these are defined below. This is the purpose of the word and its intention to help us unite in celebration of what we have in common as well as what makes us different (Lio 2023 February). The reason why this blog doesn’t use this word in its title is because this project was started on Livejournal in 2009, years before the word had been coined, and before there was any umbrella term for all of these.

2. Fictionfolk is an umbrella term for real people who feel strong connections to fiction or a personal origin in fiction (Poppy 2023). We use it to include types such as fictionkin, fictives, fictional introjects, soulbonds, and more. Fictionkin identify as characters or species from fiction, and their community started in the early 2000s (House of Chimeras 2021 June). Fictional introjects are documented in dissociative systems as far back as 1985 (Kluft 1985 p. 185).

3. Otherkin and therianthropes are people who say that they are animals or other nonhuman beings. Both of these communities started separately from one another: otherkin began in a mailing list in 1990 (Arethinn 2021), and therianthropes began in Usenet in 1993 (House of Chimeras 2021 November). Individuals vary in whether they explain this in terms that are spiritual or psychological, but these are not religions (Proctor 2019, pp. 94-95). They also aren’t mental illnesses and don’t correlate with mental illnesses (Clegg 2019). Readers new to this topic can start with this short essay, A Simple Introduction to Otherkin and Therianthropes (Scribner 2024).

4. Plurality, also called multiplicity, is an umbrella term for any people who experience themselves as more than one self in one body all the time. It includes Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). Plurality isn’t a synonym for DID, it includes experiences that are disordered and non-disordered, with origins that can be psychological, spiritual, cultural, natural, or mixed (Yarbrough 2018; Manchester 2021). It includes daemians, tulpamancers, walk-ins, fugue states, certain cultural traditions of spirit possession, and more.

II. Code of conduct

This section applies to posts as well as comments.

1. Abide by the Terms of Service of the host for this blog, Dreamwidth. Here are a few relevant points from that. Users of this site must be at least thirteen years old; TOS preamble. Don’t post material here that is illegal in the USA; TOS XI(8), XVII. Don’t post content that is invasive to the privacy of others; TOS XI(1).

2. We tolerate harmless differences, and we cannot tolerate intolerance. We don’t allow hatred toward people for their ethnicity, race, ancestry, nationality, religion, spirituality, weight, disability, mental illness, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, type of plurality, type of alterhumanity, or non-alterhumanity.

3. Disagreements.

We don't have to agree with one another about everything. We each have our own views about politics, spirituality, queerness, alterhumanity, and more. We can talk together about them and we can agree to disagree. Do not expect others to think the same as you or to change for you. Getting along with one another while holding different opinions is essential for keeping our communities healthy places to be.

Thoughtful debates and disagreements are all right in the comment threads, but quarrels and flamewars are not. Don’t insult one another here. Act with civility.

Posts to this community do not necessarily reflect the views of its moderators.

The moderators prefer to allow people here regardless of whether they personally agree with them to keep this a welcoming space for our diverse communities.

Keeping this a welcoming space is also why the moderators reserve the right to ban accounts from posting and/or commenting at their discretion.

4. News reporting is a quest for truth and accuracy. Don’t uncritically spread urban legends, misinformation, conspiracy theories, alternative histories, or extraordinary claims that contradict consensus reality.

5. The alterhuman communities have no shared cosmology, spirituality, or religion. Each of us are free to have our own or lack thereof. Others in this community are not obliged to share yours. If you personally hold beliefs that differ from consensus reality, others in this community are not obliged to do so as well. Treat one another with respect even if you do not share or disagree with their beliefs.

6. The alterhuman communities have no leaders. We are all equals in the community. Even if your alterhumanity involves a noble title in your system’s inner world, an alpha role in your pack, a spiritually divine status from your past life, villainous exomemories from your source in canon, or years of experience as what some internet forums would deem a greymuzzle, others in this community are not obliged to treat you as anything more or less than an equal.

7. Do not plagiarize. One violation could result in your account being banned from posting and commenting. Familiarize yourself with Purdue OWL’s guide to avoiding plagiarism.

8. Do not knowingly post images or texts that were created with the use of generative artificial intelligence (genAI). One violation could result in your account being banned from posting and commenting. You can write articles that report on something created with genAI, if that’s relevant, in which case, please start your article with a content warning about genAI.

9. Do not advocate for what a court of law would consider to be sexual contact in real life with animals, children, or non-consenting adults. We will ban people who openly profess to advocate for or involve themselves in such abuses, even if they did not discuss it in this group.

10. Members may have their posting access removed if they promote what the moderators consider to be scams or abusive groups, that is to say, cults. We recommend that our readers learn how to avoid these by reading a useful document by The Dragonheart Collective, “Safety in Alterhuman Spaces,” not only to keep themselves safe, but to familiarize themselves with what our moderators see as red flags of abusive groups.

11. To make this blog accessible for people with disabilities who use screen readers, please give image descriptions and use conventional spelling for your messages. 

III. Style guide for writing news posts to this blog

This section is long because writing about current events needs to be handled with responsibility. Even this small and obscure blog about small and obscure communities is nonetheless public on the internet, and therefore has the potential to be seen by anyone in the world. How you write in public about real people and events can have effects on the reputation and privacy of individuals, readers’ life decisions, how outsiders see our communities, and how we later see our own history.

1. In Dreamwidth’s official FAQ, here are instructions for how to post to a community blog. If you prefer visual instructions with screenshots, user SportsAnime has those.

2. If you found some news that you want to post about here, you can write your own news article about it here. You don’t have to write a whole essay, though. Another option is to make simply a notification of news, a minimal post with just the links to the news, with their titles, authors, and dates.

3. When you submit your article to be posted to this blog, at first it will be shown only to the community moderators for them to approve or reject it. We usually approve posts, and reject them only if they’re totally inappropriate for this project, the guidelines for which are described below. If you’re still waiting for that decision after three days, that means the moderators haven’t checked Dreamwidth and seen the notification for it yet. In that case, you can nudge a moderator to let them know that it’s waiting by sending them an email.

4. Common courtesy. Everyone deserves this, even people who you personally dislike, and even people who have been convicted of crimes.

Be compassionate about your writing and be careful of how it might have a harmful effect on its readers and the people that it’s about.

Don’t use this blog as a place to make allegations against someone based on weak “evidence” such as screenshots, word of mouth, or rumors.

Respect the privacy of private individuals.

Don’t dox people.

Don’t write offensive and intentionally untrue things about specific people (defamation).

If you write about someone who has changed their name, refer to them by their current name, and don’t mention any of their old names. When writing about people who use a certain name within the alterhuman communities, use only that name without revealing their wallet name. Use their current preferred pronouns and refer to their gender in the way that they currently describe it without indicating that this is in question.

5. Be especially careful with news about minors. Respect their safety and their right to be forgotten.

Don’t write anything about minors that could contribute to them being doxxed, harassed, or abused, or which is likely to continue to cause them trouble years later in their adulthood.

If minors have been in the news, then you can record that those newspapers have reported on them.

If you must write about a minor who is only known through social media or privately, because that is unavoidably a part of otherwise notable current events, please do so with taste and without giving their full name, location, or other information that would identify them too much.

6. Current events. Even if something happened a year ago, that's current enough. We'd rather see them written than not at all. That's realistic for this project done in spare time by volunteers. We're not staffed by journalists on the clock to turn a scoop into a published article on the same day.

7. Content warnings. As much as possible, please try to keep your writing tasteful to a degree that a media censor would consider to be, at most, rated PG-13 or rated T for Teen. If an article needs to be about topics that should only be seen by adults, or which would be very disturbing to the average person, or inappropriate for the average person to view at work or school, then please preface it with a specific content warning, and hide it behind a cut tag. We encourage the use of content warnings here because it’s respectful netiquette for welcoming a wide range of readers on the internet. In particular, it’s because a significant part of the intended audience of this blog are plural systems, who are often survivors of trauma.

8. Emotional tone.

A neutral tone is good, but you don’t need to adhere to it strictly. This isn’t Wikipedia. We consider some concepts to be neutral which some places see as leftist political stances, because these are simply necessary for everyone to live. For example, we say Nazis are bad, transgender women are real women, and disabled people have lives worth living.

If you want to talk more about your personal feelings about current events, clearly mark your writings as an opinion article.

Sensationalism is irresponsible journalism. No sensationalism about current events, especially with the explicit or implicit effect of driving readers to give up hope, passively accept media misinformation, turn to in-fighting, or physically injure themselves or others.

The original post itself should basically perform the role of a news article, or a notification of news, not the opening of a debate (those belong on a web forum) or a vent post (those belong on a personal blog). If you want to discuss your emotions about a piece of news, you can do that in the comments to the blog post rather than in the blog post itself. You can disagree and debate in the comments.

9. Check your facts. If you’re writing about something that was in the mainstream news or that was circulating on social media, look it up on… fact checking sites such as Snopes.com and Reuters Fact Check, which will tell you if the story is a half-truth or an urban legend; MediaBiasFactCheck.com, which will tell you the reputation of the media source in general, and whether it tends to be factually accurate. (Although MBFC is itself reliable most of the time, be forewarned that it occasionally has its own bias in regard to certain topics, particularly LGBT rights and certain religious groups.)

10. If in your journalism you discover a crime or other problems of similar gravity, please handle that information responsibly. Document the evidence thoroughly in your own private files. Consider your options to consult a lawyer and take it to the authorities, and whether making your findings public on the internet may be inappropriate to do with your information. A blog isn’t a courtroom and doesn’t have the power to act as judge and jury to determine the guilt of the accused.

11. Title your article in a way that summarizes it without misrepresenting it.

12. Cite your sources. Acceptable: at least link to each web page that your information came from. Good: at the end of your article, give all your sources as a bibliography or reference list in APA or another style of your choice. Best: for each source citation, add a link to its archive in the Wayback Machine, because we must assume that all links will die someday. Annotate your bibliography by writing a couple of sentences about each source. Note which piece of your information came from that source. Remark on how reliable that source appears to be or whether you noticed any errors in it. Mention that source’s reputation according to MediaBiasFactCheck.com.

IV. Subject matter

Otherkin News is about all sorts of alterhumans and topics of interest to them. Here are some examples of topics that you are welcome to write blog posts about for Otherkin News. This section gives a lot of examples because we hope to inspire more people to write for this project and for you to understand what a wide variety of topics we welcome.

News which came from outside of the alterhuman communities but is relevant to them

Most importantly, record any coverage in news, magazines, radio, documentaries, books, podcasts, academic articles, or other media about any sorts of alterhumans (publicity)

News about animals and mythological beings, such as performance art pieces, research about mythology, legalities, scientific discoveries, and newly published history

News about prosthetic limbs, virtual reality, and body modifications of sorts that would be relevant for alterhumans

News about phantom limbs, dissociation, reincarnation, and other experiences that are often relevant to those of alterhumans

News about changes to social media sites and web hosts that could have an impact on alterhumans who use these to share their creations and socialize with one another

Current events within the alterhuman communities.

Results of surveys of the alterhuman communities

Round-ups of links to the newest essays, web-sites, forums, mailing lists, and other creations in alterhuman communities

Obituaries for members of the alterhuman community who recently died

Closures or migrations of alterhuman forums, mailing lists, or websites

Describe what happened at a recent convention, gather, meet-up, or other community event, with a focus on the details that will be useful to historians later, without doxxing anyone. For example, date, location, staff, the subject matter of presentations, and who presented them

The history of how a new controversial discourse topic or flamewar recently emerged and expanded beyond one forum or site for alterhumans

Fact checks for urban legends and other misinformation about alterhumans, whether this is circulating inside or outside of our communities

If something happened in the communities a few years ago, but its story hasn’t been told yet, then that’s recent enough to write about in here. We would rather see someone write about an otherkin gather that happened two years ago than have no story about it at all. Ideally, make sure that it’s not being misremembered by collecting sources to cite, interviewing some people who were there for those events, or asking them to proofread your post to see if it’s how they remember it

Advertisements of certain kinds are acceptable here, if they are posted only once, if they are clearly marked as advertisements rather than news, and if they are for something that was created entirely without the use of generative AI.

Upcoming events, such as conventions, gathers, and meet-ups for alterhumans. However, don’t ask people to use the comments to publicly reveal where they live

Casting calls for documentary videos

Surveys for alterhumans to take

Make a call for submissions to an anthology, game jam, or other collaborative project about alterhumanity

Fundraisers to support a project about alterhumans or a cause relevant to alterhumans

Your own finished projects about alterhumans  

V. Subject matter that isn’t suitable for posting to this blog.  

Most news that is strictly about the furry fandom would usually be better placed elsewhere, because there are several blogs with a better specialty in that, such as Dogpatch Press. 

Advertisements that are repetitive, scammy, or not particularly on topic may be handled as spam. This may result in your account no longer being allowed to post here.

Fundraisers for individual alterhumans– such as medical GoFundMes– could overwhelm this blog if we allowed them, if our timelines on Mastodon are any indication. We encourage you to create another Dreamwidth community to share those instead. However, at the end of any news post that you write here, it’s all right to give a link for readers to tip you, for example, at your Ko-fi.

Posts that resemble a personal vent or a diary entry belong on one’s personal blog instead.

Posts that themselves look as though they came from a flamewar belong on a discussion or debate forum instead.

Please don’t make posts here to introduce yourselves or make casual conversation. These also belong in a discussion forum instead.

VI. Change log.

Version 1. 2025 April 19. Posted these rules for the first time.

Version 1.1. Some cleanup later that day.

Shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals. 💌💜 (if you want) (also i keep forgetting we're mutuals. i'm checking my rss feed like "savrenim is so cool i wonder what they posted today" and then sees you reblog a post from me and go ??? what are you doing in my house)

going to go with my Most Cursed playlist "ASMR All*" for

Stronger Than Shia Labeouf - cursed mix between actual cannibal shia labeouf (rob cantor) and stronger than you (steven universe - estelle)

Take Me To Church - Hozier

Mr. Brightside - The Killers

The Sharpest Lives - My Chemical Romance

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

*this is "all" because it is a combination of all of my ASMR aka Most Cursed Playlists which began with "ASMR You Can Taste The Shrimp Colors" meant to get my through my final semester of teaching and grading and beating a thesis into submission and now has expanded to include playlists like "ASMR Tumblr Gays Fight", "ASMR Villain Coded Gay", "ASMR Running From Zombies", and "ASMR Running From Grading". honestly given the songs on some of those lists that selection is TAME

What are the most effective indexing tools available for indexing backlinks?

Several effective indexing tools are available for indexing backlinks and ensuring that they are recognized by search engines. Some of the most popular indexing tools include:

Google Search Console: Google Search Console allows website owners to submit URLs for indexing directly to Google's search index. It provides insights into how Google crawls and indexes your website, identifies indexing issues, and monitors the indexing status of individual pages and backlinks.

Bing Webmaster Tools: Similar to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools allows website owners to submit URLs for indexing to Bing's search index. It provides data on how Bing crawls and indexes your website, identifies indexing issues, and monitors the indexing status of pages and backlinks.

Ping-O-Matic: Ping-O-Matic is a free service that notifies multiple search engines and web directories when you update or publish new content on your website. Simply enter your website's URL and select the services you want to ping, and Ping-O-Matic will send notifications to these services to request indexing of your backlinks.

OneHourIndexing: OneHourIndexing is a paid indexing service that claims to index backlinks quickly and effectively. It offers various indexing packages and methods, including pinging, RSS feed submissions, and backlink crawling, to ensure that backlinks are indexed promptly by search engines.

Indexification: Indexification is another paid indexing service that helps index backlinks by submitting them to various indexing services and ping servers. It offers a fast and reliable way to ensure that backlinks are recognized and indexed by search engines.

Link Centaur: Link Centaur is a backlink indexing service that uses a combination of indexing techniques, including pinging, RSS feed submissions, and backlink crawling, to ensure that backlinks are indexed quickly and effectively. It offers various indexing packages and customization options to suit different needs and budgets.

BacklinksIndexer: BacklinksIndexer is a popular backlink indexing service that claims to index backlinks using a proprietary indexing system. It offers various indexing packages and methods, including drip-feed indexing, to ensure that backlinks are indexed gradually and naturally by search engines.

When choosing an indexing tool or service, consider factors such as speed, effectiveness, pricing, and user reviews to find the best option for your needs. Additionally, keep in mind that while indexing tools can help improve the visibility of your backlinks, the quality and relevance of the backlinks themselves are also crucial for achieving optimal SEO results.DO Studio : Best Marketing Agency In CalicutDo Studio is the Best Marketing agency in Calicut.

we might actually work on our websites today, we have maintenance we've been wanting to get done for ages but we've been too unwell and burned out and busy etc but i think we're feelin it

maintenance to do list (Virtual Observer):

finally make the comment widget QOL update (mainly to clear out the text fields after submitting a comment so people don't accidentally submit double comments + implement a small fix to disable the comment section after submission until the comments load again, for slower connections) and link a couple of cool mods on the page for it. also clarify some of the wording on the page/make an FAQ

implement a comment section into kiki's journal using the above widget. this may be kinda weird because it's a javascript loader and doesn't use iframes, perhaps manually implement URL parameters in the JS?

make a proper splash page for mobile users since right now it's still what kiki threw together to get it out

change kiki's introduction and move all that internet manifesto type stuff to its own page at a later time

the icon/link to BMF on ayano's half STILL says CPG... it's been months...

change our guestbook from 123guestbook to the comment widget code

kiki could probably stand to change the list of sites she likes again

maintenance to do list (Blue Moon Falls):

update the Egg Hue Previewer to have a language option since "EGG" is different in other languages

add a disclaimer about how you can't use a pokemon nickname that is the same as the species name in all caps in the general stadium hue previewer

completely rebuild the stat experience tracker tool from scratch to make it more accessibility-friendly and up to the standards of the current site

brighten the red on the yellow site theme

remove the notice about the CPG name change (probably unnecessary at this point)

look into making a BMF RSS feed (we've never done RSS so there will be a learning curve)

at some point we need to fix some old HTML quirks so that BMF can be properly run through the WC3 validator (mostly change link buttons to have targets instead of using tags)

definitely won't get this done all in one day but we can start chipping at it. after that we can start working on new projects

April 2025 Update, domain move, and Patreon thank you!

Hi everyone! It's April so it's time for another update and to thank Escher Girls' wonderful Patreon supporters!

For a site update, we've officially moved the site to a Canadian domain, EscherGirls.ca just in case American domains become less viable for us to use in the future. However, EscherGirls.com still redirects to it and you should be able to use the site as normal and comment on Disqus on both, nothing should change. Let me know if anything is going wrong!

I've been dealing with a lot of health problems this month, so I didn't restore too many posts, some of the ones I fixed up, I've already mentioned on other posts this month. However other posts I've restored are:

This compilation of Marvel Swimsuit Special images

An old letter about Persona 3

This picture of Ultimate Crystal which I mentioned on another post

A boobs and butt panel of Rachel Summers from X-Men: Kingmaker

This weird ad for Eternal Fury

The missile boobs cover of Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne also mentioned in another post

A wrestling promo image for Studio Trigger

And the coup de grace: this post where I helped the submitter realize that the League of Angels pop-ups they kept getting were because of malware installed in their computer!

Also if people missed it last month, I'm now adding "year" and "decade" tags to each post so people can more easily sort things by time period. Every new post should have this tagging, older posts will take time for me to make the changes.

I'm still going through my old inbox backlog in my email and Tumblr. Really old submissions will probably start showing up more often as posts, I'm sorry that it's taken me this long.

And now I want to give a huge sincere thank you to Escher Girls' March 2025 Patreon subscribers! I really appreciate your support and helping to keep the site afloat as domain and hosting costs go up due to inflation, also now I'm paying for 2 domains so site costs have increased.

If you want to join my Patreon, you can here, it helps to pay for site upkeep and updates and helps to keep Escher Girls as an archive up even if Tumblr goes down or changes their policies again. You can also donate one time on my Ko-Fi if you would like!

And now a huge thank you to the March Patreon subscribers:

Anne Adler Cat Mara Chris McKenzie Em Bardon First Time Trek Greg Sepelak Karrius Ken Trosaurus Kevin Carson Kim Wincen Leak  Manuel Dalton Mary Kuhner Max Schwarz Miriam Pody Morgan McEvoy randomisedmongoose Rebecca Breu Ringoko  Ryan Gerber Sam Mikes Sean Sea SpecialRandomCast  Thomas 

Also a special thank you to JohnnyBob8 and Adriano for their generous donations to my Ko-Fi!

And thank YOU to everybody for reading and interacting with the blog! It makes running this site year over year so worth it!

If you want to contact me outside Tumblr, you can at eschergirls@gmail.com, or on Fedi at https://urusai.social/@ami_angelwings.

I'll see you all next month!

Ami

PS: As a reminder, we added a button that links to the Escher Girls Tumblr and to our RSS feed for those who want to follow that way. (For newbies, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is basically a feed you can read using an RSS reader. Simply copy and paste https://eschergirls.com/rss.xml into an RSS reader and it will keep you up to date on Escher Girls!)

Make sure it is eschergirls.com and not eschergirls.tumblr.com, as that is Tumblr, and not the self-hosted site.

If you have any issues with the site or suggestions to improve it, please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know!

If you wish to support Escher Girls, you can subscribe to our Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/ami_angelwings or donate through Ko-Fi at: https://ko-fi.com/amiangelwings.

Postmortem Questions

Hey Everyone,

We're getting to the point where the end of the campaign is in sight. Chances are within 7-10 releases from now. (We'll probably have a break between the last episode and the postmortem to give everyone time to finish)

Once we're done we'll be doing a postmortem, talking about the campaign, behind-the-scenes stuff, and answering questions from YOU our lovely listeners.

We'll take questions all the way up until the end, so you have plenty of time to think about those questions - but I just wanted to give an advance notice.

There will be a "last call" as well as a few reminders to submit your questions before we cut off submissions, so don't stress about doing it soon.

Looking forward to see what you come up with.

-----------------------

You can submit your questions at any of the following places:

email: calamitycascade@gmail.com

askbox here on the blog (specify if it's for the postmortem though, otherwise I might just answer it normally)

Rapid URL Indexer vs Indexification: The Ultimate Comparison for 2025

In the competitive world of SEO, getting your URLs indexed quickly can make or break your search visibility. As we move through 2025, two major players continue to dominate the URL indexing service market: Rapid URL Indexer and Indexification. Let's break down how these services compare and why Rapid URL Indexer offers superior value for most users.

Indexing Success Rates: Consistency vs Variability

Rapid URL Indexer maintains a consistent 91% average indexing success rate across all URL types. This reliability is crucial when planning content strategies and SEO campaigns.

In contrast, Indexification claims an indexing rate that varies between 70-95%, depending on the quality of submitted pages. This wide range makes results less predictable, potentially complicating your SEO planning.

For businesses and SEO professionals who need dependable results, Rapid URL Indexer's consistent performance provides greater peace of mind and more reliable outcomes.

Pricing Models: Pay for Results vs Subscription

One of the most significant differences between these services is their approach to pricing:

Rapid URL Indexer uses a pay-as-you-go model starting at $0.05 per URL (with volume discounts available). Most importantly, we offer a 100% credit auto-refund policy for URLs that don't get indexed within 14 days. This means you only pay for actual results.

Indexification charges a flat rate of $17.97 per month for up to 1.5 million links. While this might seem cost-effective for high-volume users, there's no refund policy for unindexed URLs. You pay the same amount regardless of how many URLs actually get indexed.

For those who value accountability and cost efficiency, Rapid URL Indexer's model ensures you get what you pay for.

Safety and Transparency: Protecting Your Website

In today's SEO landscape, using safe, compliant methods is non-negotiable. Rapid URL Indexer employs only white-hat techniques that fully comply with search engine guidelines. We're transparent about our methods and committed to protecting your website's reputation and rankings.

Indexification uses various methods including link shortening, content page creation, and RSS feed generation, but lacks transparency about their "secret ingredients" and privately kept techniques. This raises legitimate concerns about potential risks to your website's standing with search engines.

For those who prioritize long-term SEO health over quick wins, Rapid URL Indexer's transparent approach offers greater security.

User Experience: Designed for Efficiency

The user interface and overall experience can significantly impact your productivity when using indexing services:

Rapid URL Indexer features an intuitive dashboard with easy URL submission (individual or bulk), comprehensive project management, detailed status updates, visual analytics, and transparent credit management with auto-refund tracking.

While Indexification offers basic campaign management and submission features, their interface lacks the intuitive design and comprehensive analytics that make Rapid URL Indexer more user-friendly.

Integration Capabilities: Seamless Workflow

Modern SEO requires tools that integrate smoothly with your existing systems:

Rapid URL Indexer offers multiple integration options: - WordPress Plugin for automatic submission of new or updated posts - RESTful API with comprehensive documentation for seamless integration with other tools - Bulk submission capabilities for efficient processing

Indexification mentions having API functionality but provides limited documentation and integration details, making it harder to incorporate into advanced SEO workflows.

Reporting and Analytics: Data-Driven Decisions

Understanding your indexing performance is crucial for optimizing your SEO strategy:

Rapid URL Indexer provides detailed visual reports including charts and graphs that help you understand indexing performance at a glance. These comprehensive insights allow you to identify trends, compare strategies, and make data-driven decisions.

Indexification focuses more on crawl tracking than actual indexing results, limiting the actionability of their insights and making it harder to optimize your approach based on performance data.

Performance Across Website Types

Different website types have unique indexing challenges, and specialized approaches matter:

E-commerce Websites

Rapid URL Indexer excels with e-commerce sites by quickly indexing new product pages, efficiently handling category updates and dynamic URLs, and prioritizing time-sensitive promotions. One e-commerce client reported a 40% increase in indexed product pages within a week of using our service.

Content and Blog Sites

For content publishers, Rapid URL Indexer's WordPress integration automatically submits new and updated posts, prioritizes fresh content indexing, and effectively indexes backlinks to boost SEO value. Many bloggers report seeing their new posts indexed within hours rather than days or weeks.

Local Business Websites

Local businesses benefit from Rapid URL Indexer's quick indexing of location pages, effective handling of Google My Business links, and improved visibility for service area pages. A local business client saw a 30% increase in local search visibility within a month of using our service.

Indexification doesn't provide specific information about performance across different website types, making it difficult to assess their effectiveness for particular business needs.

Customer Satisfaction: The Proof Is in the Performance

Rapid URL Indexer has built a strong reputation in the SEO community through transparent practices, consistent results, and active engagement. Users consistently praise our high indexing success rate, quick results, cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and responsive support.

While Indexification claims a large user base of over 680,000 active users, the lack of publicly available feedback and testimonials makes it difficult to assess their customer satisfaction accurately.

The Final Verdict: Which Service Delivers Better Value?

After comprehensive comparison, Rapid URL Indexer emerges as the better choice for most users seeking reliable and efficient URL indexing in 2025. Our transparent pricing with pay-for-results model, consistently high indexing success rate, safe and ethical practices, comprehensive reporting, flexible integration options, and proven track record create a complete package that delivers real value.

While Indexification may appeal to some high-volume users due to its subscription pricing, the lack of transparency about methods, absence of a refund policy for unindexed URLs, and limited reporting capabilities make it a less optimal choice for those concerned about ROI and website safety.

For SEO professionals and website owners who value reliability, transparency, and results, Rapid URL Indexer provides the superior solution for getting your content discovered by search engines quickly and efficiently.
