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.

If you’re trying to decide whether or not to write that self-indulgent fic that only you will like?

If you’re trying to decide whether you should read that favourite fic for the 17,000th time even though you have the whole thing memorized?

If you’ve never read/written fanfic before, but you think you want to try it?

I’m sure you all knew this post was coming. First off, let us apologise for taking so long to respond to questions regarding Kohske’s now rather viral comments on Twitter on the subject the overseas piracy of her works. Kiel and I live the world apart (I’m Down Under and he’s in the US) and we both have mounting personal obligations that don’t allow us as much time to post these days. This is a very important matter, though, and we absolutely have opinions on the issue – especially with the backlash Kohske has been receiving. Please read on.

Kohske has frequently stated in the past (in both Japanese and, to the best of her ability, in English) that she doesn’t want her work shared illegally through scans or scanlations because of the impact it has on her earnings. This time her plea, in English (above), went viral and has been met with some considerable nastiness. Comments telling her she’s only complaining because her work is bad and doesn’t sell (it’s consistently a best seller for Shinchosha and has been for years), that she took a huge hiatus and therefore doesn’t care about her series anyway (she suffers from a chronic autoimmune disorder and has been very open about how it continues to affect the status of the series and her life in general), right through to the suggestion that it is only her responsibility to ensure international publishers do the right thing by her title (if you’ve had experience in the publishing field, particularly when dealing with foreign releases, you’ll know how incredibly difficult it is to exercise any manner of control over your work when two publishing houses have all the power in the matter – Kohske has touched on this in the past as well). And, of course, the usual “if you don’t like it, then don’t be a mangaka”, and so on. Most of these comments seem to have come not from fans of the series or of Kohske, but from people who followed links to the tweets seeking an argument on the topic.

But even if one doesn’t agree with Kohske’s personal stance on scanlations, the abusive messages she has received are vile. No artist should be bombarded with harassment or lectured like a child for simply expressing the desire that their work be consumed legally.

Others noted on the massive gap between the legal release of GANGSTA. in English (and some other languages) and the legal Japanese release of the title. The most recent volume won’t be available in English from Viz until next year, and the main story is now several chapters ahead. Fans looking to enjoy these most recent chapters in English have no legal options to turn to yet. Such a gap is fairly common and by no means limited to GANGSTA., however, in this day and age where titles in, for instance, powerhouse publications like Jump come out the same day in multiple languages, fans are struggling with releases for series that don’t “keep up.”

If fans genuinely want to read legally available chapters of GANGSTA. in English without having to wait for a volume release, we need to let the companies involved know. Viz Media is unlikely to pursue something as time-consuming and expensive as fast digital releases for a series like GANGSTA. (which is from a smaller publisher and not with the same audience or sales league as, once again, much larger publications) unless people are vocal about wanting it. Companies are willing to investigate ways of getting you to pay for titles if they know they’re viable – so they need to know it’s viable. Tell them you want digital releases of GANGSTA., be it in an email, a tweet, a hashtag, a letter, whatever works for you. (Our master licensing post is always available if you’re unsure who publishes GANGSTA. in your country.)

Does that mean they’ll start doing it? No, there’s no guarantee they’ll listen, but the best way to get what we want as consumers is to be vocal and consistent about the content we love and want to purchase. It was the “pre-built fanbase” that GANGSTA. had at the time of its licensing that helped Viz market it initially – we’re all still here and we still love the series, so why not let them know?

As for whether or not it’s moral to consume scanlations when an artist has explicitly asked you not to do so, well, at the end of the day that really is down to each of us as readers. All Kiel and I can say is that we respect and support Kohske’s wishes on this issue and hope those reading this will do the same. Please purchase legal copies of her work when possible and let Kohske know that her appeals to manga fans (especially this one) are not in vain. - FYG

PS: For those newer to this community, please note that we have a list of trustworthy stores that supply Viz’s English volume releases, and our Monthly Comic Bunch posts generally include shopping links.

i put a lot of effort into making another one of these

[icheru]

Hey I really need help with paying bills for my dad so:

I will do commissions from 500 to 5000 words, a penny per word, meaning 5-50 dollars

I will write about any fandom or any original characters

More than 2 characters is 2 dollars extra

I will write NSFW or sfw but I will not write any form of pedophilia or rape

I will write at max 3 chapters of fics if you’re asking for multi chapter, 1000 words per chapter only (35 dollars)

Send me an IM if interested and I will give you my email. IMs are open for everyone.

If you can reblog this and spread the word I really appreciate it! We recently got really badly screwed over and my dad is the only one who works and I don’t have a car yet to get a job (nor can we really afford one), even though I am currently trying and applying to places. My mother refuses to work.

Thank you for reading!

Hey guys, I had posted this before but I am reposting it again to try and meet my goal. I’ve put aside the 205 from before, and wanted to lay low for a bit since my family has since found my social media and keeps a VERY close eye on it by ridiculing literally every post I make. This is making my extremely comfortable. The environment has become unbearably toxic.

Today they cut off the internet in an attempt to isolate and “punish” me for reasons unknown. Daring to be my own person, I suppose, since they do not “approve” of my LGBT lifestyle. I’ve since upgraded my mobile data service to allow me to use the hotspot for basic needs, and since I work from home as an illustrator, I NEED the internet access to keep the bills paid. Apparently, they’ve decided they don’t care about that, and that having No internet is better than “allowing” me to continue being “degenerate” (drawing men kissing I suppose is a no-no in this household!)

I am pretty stressed out. I am an adult, and being restricted in this manner, treated like a child, and consistently insulted, derided, and attempts made to control every facet of my life has begun to really take its toll. I thought I could drag it out to the end of September to save up for moving but they’re not gonna let this happen. It’s their way, or get out.

So I need to get out before something else is taken and further attempts to sabotage my livelihood and happiness are made. I need out. I need away from this, and they pick the most opportune times to gut me (when they know I’m low on money from paying bills). I can’t take it. I feel like I’m being slowly destroyed by people who REFUSE to empathize.

Anything that can be contributed is an enormous help. If not, as simple reblog to signal boost will be an ENORMOUS help. Thank you everyone. I hate to ask for any help at all, but I really don’t know what else to do and this is becoming unbearable.
