Tumblrs demise
It’s cute how some accounts still work to make tumblr change its mind.
It’s futile and everyone should be aware of it.
Why?
The decision was made by managers or-to put it mildly-asocial, morally retarded, incompetent airheads who give a damn about adult content, nsfw, adult community and/sex worker.
The only thing they care about is making money and the shareholder value.
And crashing a business? Who gives a fuck? No manager and that’s for sure. They aren’t paid for keeping a business alive. And never have been. They don’t lose anything when a business folds-their capitalistic airhead keeps them floating.
And what is to do now?
First of all, give what the tumblr/Verizon managers what they want and understand. That is, white supremist Nazi accounts. These are really close to them and they feel more comfortable around them than around adult porn accounts.
They don’t want to make adult thoughts and decisions-not that they could, anyway-all they want is to play—with money. And that's the only thought their immature brains can hold.
Second, head for somewhere else.
Several suggestions and alternatives already came up. Pick one you like. I suggest, take a look at Maston. It’s decentralised and quite adult in many ways. And if you do not like the rules of mastodon.social go to another instance or create your own. Sex workers did so back when twitter started to molest them. Their answer in the Mastodonverse was Switter.at.
The decision is yours.

17 December - a rescue plan
Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now, just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.
I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. One of the reasons is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.
More info over the days to come.
The plan is, broadly:
1. By 9 December, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there
2. By 10 December, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.
3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between 10 and 17 December if they want to use the automatic tool.
4. My understanding is that after 17 December there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after 17 December, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before 17 December.
Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.
There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design at first. Everyone is doing their best, the main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.
The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.
If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.
Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.
(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)
If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before 17 December, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.
If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the Gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.
(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)
If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before 17 December then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or repost as soon as possible.
Obviously, you will lose access, after 17 December, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.

Ghost is a powerful, customisable alternative to Tumblr which puts you in charge. 
In December 2018, Tumblr announced that they would be removing a huge amount of content from the platform following a dispute with the Apple App Store.
Since then, we’ve had a lot of people visiting this page (understandably) looking for a Tumblr alternative!
Normally this page is a bit of a sales pitch for our product, called Ghost, but since there are a lot of frustrated people looking for answers right now - we’ve adapted things here just to try to help.
If you’re looking for an equivalent social network where you can follow other users and both share and consume free content:
Then your best bet is probably going to be Mastodon.
It’s a completely decentralised social network which combines the best bits of Twitter and Tumblr, but the technology is structured in a way whereby it can never be shut down. It’s also completely ad-free, and doesn’t censor any content. You can join an existing Mastodon community or start a new one.
If you run a publication with a large audience as a business and you want professional software hosted on your own domain:
Well in that case, you might be more interested in what we do. Ghost is a completely independent platform which gives you control of the technology, the content and the audience - so nobody can shut you down. You can host the software yourself for free, or you can pay for our premium service where we take care of all the infrastructure/technical things for you.
Ghost doesn’t have a network, so there isn’t the same sort of following mechanism built in. Sites built with Ghost are better suited to established publishers with 1:many relationship to their audience, rather than the many:many relationship of a social network…

“We’re pretty blind to what’s going on beneath the soil,” says photographer Jim Richardson, who became well acquainted with the world of dirt while working on “Our Good Earth,” a 2008 National Geographic magazine story. 
The bulk of a prairie grass plant, it turns out, exists out of sight, with anywhere from eight to fourteen feet of roots extending down into the earth. Why should we care? Besides being impressively large, these hidden root balls accomplish a lot—storing carbon, nourishing soil, increasing bioproductivity, and preventing erosion.
Unfortunately, these productive, perennial grasses (which live year round) are more rare than they once were…
Tumblr media
“When [you] say the American Midwest is a breadbasket, essentially what you mean is that you have taken out the prairie grasses. You went out with Willa Cather and the plow that broke the plains, plowed up the grassland, and started planting annual grasses like wheat, sorghum, corn, any of the big grains that supply most of our calories,” says Richardson.
A challenge in raising the profile of this tallgrass ecosystem is that so much of it is underground and therefore difficult to visualize. Enter photography…
