Making a new year post while it's still technically old year in my timezone because I am, simply put, sleepy.

2023 has been a year. In terms of things that I have actually accomplished this year, Runway Runway is definitely the most significant, the one I'm proudest of, and the one I'm most excited to bring into 2024. I know that the new year is largely an arbitrary distinction (I literally have to go to work tomorrow morning like any other day) but I find it helpful to allow myself to buy into the idea of it being some sort of fresh start on the condition I don't fool myself into thinking it makes the last year go away. 2023 was a pretty bad year for me in a lot of ways, and for some reason it's always December specifically that doesn't let me catch a break, but the saving grace of it is that tomorrow it won't be December anymore.

Obviously, do not expect a post tomorrow. Probably not next week either because the fifth is my birthday and if I know myself I'll be making a sincere attempt to enjoy it by any means necessary. But my current estimate is that on Monday the 15th I'll be releasing a British Airways post, and from there I will probably continue with weekly Monday installments until I've caught my breath a bit and can increase the frequency. I have quite a few airlines I've been excited to review for probably months now, and I don't see myself getting less excited about any of them. And hopefully, now that I'm no longer going to be flattened by the experience of working winter holidays in a store which gets the majority of its revenue from people buying gifts for their family, I'll have a lot more time to look at pictures of airplanes.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who has followed this blog, read my posts, liked them, reblogged them, replied to them, sent asks, requested airlines, submitted pictures, and in any way given me incentive to write a self-indulgent blog which makes me very happy. Happy new year, and I hope you'll stick around to see me get to 1% the age of Finnair.

The only extant airline turning 100 in 2024 is Tajik Air, by the way, so expect to see that one at some point.

[howtodisassembleyourdeviant]

I apologize for not being on here very much, or at all, the last couple weeks. I just feel like people aren't as interested in my version of Connor as when I first started rping here. Even my art goes mostly ignored, particularly my recent works. I feel like an outcast within the community, despite the community being much smaller than it was a few years ago. Perhaps it's because of this, as I know my name is sour in a few people's mouths. Whether they're still here or not, I've no clue. It was never my intention to hurt anyone.

In any case, this is NOT an announcement that I'm leaving the community, I simply want to apologize to the few who are still interested in roleplaying with me for disappearing. I wish I could apologize to a few other people whom I've upset relatively recently (last few months), but I wouldn't know where to begin, nor how they would react. I could have handled things better, but I have to live with my own consequences and hope they're doing well.

I'll try to get to replies either tonight or tomorrow. I'll probably reblog this a few times to account for timezones. If anyone wants to chat, I have made a new discord:

800Tincans#2655

I still won't be as active on here as I once was unless interests change. I might reblog some old headcanons to see if it sparks new interests. I also realized I forgot to shuffle my queue after I added a bunch of memes to the end of it, so I'll do that.

To the people still interested in roleplaying with me, expect some anon spam asks soon. I appreciate you all and I still love your portrayals of your muses. I'm sorry if it ever seems otherwise. I still look forward to where our roleplays go and I hope you don't take this as indication to stop interacting with me or stop writing threads, old or new.

[magic-hcs]

I just search up Sans x reader, which is probs the reason why lmao. I haven't been on Tumblr in a hot minute so yknow, still trying to re-remember everything :]]] I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough

- 🍄

I’m sure too! Also if you keep having this issue, check out my ‘#other people’s work’ tag if you want to enjoy other content that isn’t my own, you’ll find creators who also write sans x readers. Hopefully that’ll help out a bit.

I’ll also write down a small list of blogs I know have sans x reader stuff tomorrow and stick it to a reblog on this post since right now I’m going to sleep it has gotten quite late.

I hope you have a great timezone 🍄 anon!

Announcement! I have Fanfics ready to be released in 10 days' time!

As of now, in my timezone, it is the 5th August in 2023, and I have reached a decision. I have finished the first chapter of my @the-untitledverse-blog fic Jurassic World: Before The Storm, and am creating a oneshot collection fic (requests will not be open until I say otherwise) as well as on my @the-silver-chronicles blog, in addition to a separate small fic both involving my deputy OC Silva Omar.

In the coming ten days, I will be posting information about my Jurassic World fic and some additional stuff from my two other blogs. This includes characters, story, plot, themes and more. If you have any questions about OCs or the story, I will be releasing character profiles and posting some Ask Games that I saved.

On August 15th in 2023, I will publish my Jurassic World: Before The Storm on Archive of Our Own, Wattpad, and Tumblr itself. I am looking to create an account on fanfiction.net as well as some others, but that won't come until later. The FC5 oneshots will also be published on these sites in a few days after the release of Jurassic World: Before The Storm. As of now, I will not be releasing any fics in my @life-despair-and-monsters-blog as they are currently underdeveloped and incomplete, but there will be content and information being released on this little pocket universe I've made and even chances to ask about it.

I am very excited to share my first official fic. I am even more excited to share the universes I have had stuck in my head for who knows how long.

Everyone's replies, reblogs, likes and support over the past few weeks have encouraged me to share and reach out of my comfort zone to other mutuals. The community I've discovered here are so supportive and respectful of each other and the fantastic and fascinating works and art I've read and seen makes me so happy to have found such amazing people.

I am unable to express in words alone how much your words have meant to me. All I can say is thank you so much.

Any who, I've drained my brain's capability to speak more. Might make another post later, probably tomorrow though. Cheers!

[windynebula]

Hello! I'm not aromantic but have learnt a lot from reading the comments people have left on your aro poll reblogs. Is it okay for me to reblog for that reason, in the hope that other people will also read and learn? I don't want to take away from a thing that isn't mine. Thank you, have a good day / night / tomorrow depending on your timezone 💖

I'm not aro either, but it's alright to reblog! It also brings the poll to a wider audience. Thank you for asking!

[blueheartedmayor]

OOC:

Not okay to reblog.

I've been debating about writing this all day, so I'm doing it anyway.

I currently feel like I'm the only one in this particular fandom that's in a timezone that's totally inconvenient to America - GMT. So if ever there's a busy evening.... It's at about 3am for me, and then I'm working when it's late at night for the night owls. If we're mutuals, and you're okay with a late ask prompt, could you please reply with your timezone? Partially to confirm you actually read my request, partially out of curiosity for what times people are in. (Follows from me are from @dreamingofmuses, btw)

(for the two people who follow and I know are in my timezone, you're good. You don't need to do this 💙)

[galladrabbles]

Galladrabbles with a Capital G!

Six months ago I got offered a bet. And Evie (@energievie) already knew me, Vey (@look-i-love-u), well enough at this point to know I can neither say no to a good bet, nor to a writing challenge. So the first Galladrabble, still without a title, happened in November. I won the bet and Evie had to write it. So it continued for a three months.

Ten weeks ago monthly bets turned into the weekly "galladrabbles". Evie and I enjoyed the many challenges too much to just leave them for once a month. Even though I'm not sure if it's the writing or 'getting the worst reaction out of each other' - that we enjoyed more.

But #galladrabbles was born and for a few weeks things went back and forth between the two of us. We wrote drabbles for each other's prompts and exchanged many messages dreaming about maybe other people wanting to join in and what everyone would come up with for our prompts and how amazing it would be to spread the drabble joy (and let's be honest: fun and frustration that come along with them sometimes.)

And then it happened! We don't know how. We don't know why... but suddenly a few wonderful people wanted to join in. So this blog was made and....

... we made it to double figures this week! Galladrabbles! With a capital G!

There are now twelve great writers and prompters who created eleven (!!!) galladrabbles this week.

It does feel like a dream has come true. I know it feels like that for me and I think, Evie, too.

So I, we, really would like to say thank you to everyone participating. As a writer. As a reader. As a liker and reblogger and commentator. As a prompter. As someone who may roll their eyes but deals with having the tags flooded on Wednesday (we really probably should work on that a little bit XD). Thank you, very much!

And in case you missed it: Lily, @tsuga-of-mars, says thank you too and shared a "O.O" kind of pic that inspired her prompt this week.

And to wrap things up quickly: The prompt and author pages are up to date now.

Evie will post the drabbles to AO3 on Mondays now in case someone posts their drabble on Sunday.

And a shout out to Maria, @mzshko, it's your turn to set the prompt tomorrow. Please submit it via ask to this blog. I'm looking forward to catching whatever you throw at us!

Oh! And last but not least: Evie and I live in European timezones so if it takes a short while to get your drabbles reblogged to galladrabbles or your questions answered... that's probably why ;)

[levihan-drabbles]

Hey guys !!! I hope everyone in this wonderful fandom is doing amazing <3 Recently, my friend and I have come up with a very interesting and fun event that we're hoping you all would like to participate in. We haven't really seen surprise prompts and drabble weeks for Levihan before, so we decided to make one! Also a very fun contest with cool awards too.

Getting straight to the point, the reason why this event is different from an usual prompt week is because we are only going to be focusing on drabbles here. (And also because the prompts won't be predetermined and given to you beforehand)

(Note: this is also open to artists and other content creators. We will be making another post tomorrow explaining how the event works for them. Till then, the writers can continue)

✒ A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space. (YeS I stole it from google)

As a writer myself, due to the limited word limit, drabbles can be a bit of a struggle sometimes, and that is primarily the reason why this whole event is also somewhat more of a writing practice (other than the fact that we need to get those numbers on AO3 up haha)

Without wasting much time, let's get straight into the details, and how this is really going to work, what are surprise prompts and the contest and its awards of course.

▶ How long are your entries really supposed to be? Well Google says 100 words but that's way too unfair so your fic should be = to or under 1000 words. The maximum you can go up to is 1500.

▶ Are there any certain prompts/themes these drabbles should be on? Yes, and that's what we are going to talk about next.

▶ And what are surprise prompts? Okay so remember back when in school, your annoying math teacher would take a surprise quiz out of nowhere without informing you? Yeah something like that but its not that bad. Also, its a lot more fun than math.

Basically your prompts will be given to you a day before you need to post them. so its really just a writing practice and there is no pressure, so don't think about the quality or something. This is about scribbling down something quick without a lot of planning.

The prompts are also going to be chosen from an OTP prompt generator, so they are going to be uhm interesting and fun to work.

We have a theme for each day (like angst, fluff etc) and the mods will choose 4 random prompts beforehand for each of these days. At the time of giving the prompts to the participants, we will run a machine to choose one randomly out of the 4. So even the mods don't know what the actual prompt is going to be for the day.

The themes for each day (except Wednesdays and Thursdays, we will get to them later)

Angst Mondays

Trope Tuesdays

Fluff Fridays

Comic Saturdays (this is for the artists, so you can ignore it)

Smut Sundays

Now, here's the challenge (and probably my favorite part about the event) -- The prompts you get are not exclusively going to be in accordance with the themes for each day.

For example, you can definitely get this for Angst Mondays :

Prompt : "Levi having to rescue Hange from a pack of kittens/puppies."

Now its up to you, with the power of levihan on your side, to write an angsty drabble based on this prompt, (okay fine, the prompts probably won't be this off bat but still)

**Exception, : for trope Tuesdays, you won't be getting a prompt but a particular trope like (enemies to lovers, protective levi, caring hange etc)

▶ What time will you exactly get the prompt then? So basically, if Levihan drabble week begins on Tuesday, 25th May, you will getting your trope (prompt for the other days) around Monday afternoon-ish. And you are allowed to post until Tuesday midnight, before Wednesday begins. (Wednesday and Thursday are contest days which we will talk about later, so you don't have to worry about getting another prompt on Tuesday and finishing it on Wednesday itself)

▶How will you get your prompt? And any other details? We'll be making another post later where we will dive deep into the timezone specifics and how you will get the prompt, and what you will tag your posts with so we can see your stuff and reblog it.

You will get the prompt for fluff Friday around Thursday afternoon, and then the writers will have a break as Saturday is for artists. Friday night, you will get the prompt for smut Sunday you will have Saturday as a break in between before posting your smut on Sunday.

The same formula applies to angst Mondays.

1st June, Tuesday, last day of the week will be the prize day. We are gonna talk about the prize day in the next section.

Wednesday and Thursdays (The contest days)

So, first of all, this is optional. If you are participating in the rest of the drabble week, its okay if you leave to opt out of the contest. Similarly, you can also just participate in the contest and not do the other days. It's up to you.

The people participating in the contest would be divided into two groups. There are going to be two winners.

Suppose we have group 1 and group 2, a random participant from each group will be chosen. This chosen participant is called the selector. Its purely luck and a machine that chooses the selector. The selector gets to choose a prompt (from a list the mods will give them) Suppose the said selector is from group 1, then the prompt they chose will be given to group two, and everyone in group two have to write on that. The selector from group two will do the same thing for group 1 members.

All of the preparation for the contest will be done beforehand, and the selectors will be informed before the week begins. The selected prompts will be given to both groups Tuesday night. By Thursday evening their works should be posted.

The word limit for Contest Drabbles can be extended to 3000 words. This is ONLY for the contest.

After all works are submitted by Thursday evening, there will be a voting period which will stretch till 1st June, Tuesday. During this period, group 1 will read group 2's stuff, and group 2 will do the same for group 1. Then they will vote for their favorite fics accordingly, the fic with the maximum votes from both groups wins. The mods will be supervising this, and reading the stuff too.

▶How do we vote? All the details related to voting will also be explained in a different post.

▶What are the awards? Okay, so one thing unique about drabble week is that there are going to be no permanent mods. We will probably have these events rather frequently, and the mods will change for each event. The mods will decide the awards so different awards for different months.

This month, the gifts are :

Well detailed and long comments on 2 chapters of a fic of your choice. These can also be two different one shots if you want.

Beta reading for a few (3-4 chapters) for any fic the winner wants (the other details can be discussed in dms)

The winners will have the opportunity/chance to become mods for the next week, next month. This is also a great way to make new friends and work with them while holding an event!

To participate, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM. The last date to fill in is 20th May, so do it before that. We'll be making another post for the artists soon, posting it tomorrow most likely. You will be constantly updated, so don't worry!

if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you so much, we will be looking forward for your participation! Much love.

[mydemonlovesme]

hello again..... remember my contest? well the 13th is tomorrow...... i haven’t forgotten! you are allowed to reblog more than once, but that does not give you a second+ entry. it’s just to show other people if you want :)

i have written down every url so far and given them a number, i am in the GMT timezone so i will decide later on the day what time to pick the winners. i will announce it first tho.

[1988quaranthon]

writing sprint #5!

hey guys! our writing sprint will be held tomorrow, saturday may 30, from 10 AM to 1 PM CT (what time is that for me?). there will be another post going up when the sprint starts.

we will be holding sprints regularly to try to get people writing, so feel free to join in (even if you’re not a signup for the Quaranthon)! and as you can tell we’re trying to switch times around for each sprint so that different timezones get a chance to participate.

what do I do during the sprint?

write like the wind! you just write as much as you want, as much as you can, during those 3 hours. you can choose to write for only, say, 30 minutes of it and then you think you’re done - that’s fine! or you can write nonstop for the full 3 hours - bravo! you can take breaks in between, you can stop and do other things, you can hop in at the beginning at 8 PM CT or maybe you only started writing at 10:30 PM CT, but the point is, we hope that at the end of the sprint, you’ll have gotten a little further in your fic than you would have without the sprint :)

is there any minimum word count I need to adhere to?

nope! this is going to be really easy and informal and pressure-free. however, if it is useful for you to set yourself a word count to complete during the sprint, go for it (this method actually works well for the mods)!

what do I do after the sprint?

sit back, have a drink, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done! (and then you can gear up for next week’s sprint!)

but also, we’d love it if after the sprint, you could post a little excerpt of what you’ve written during the sprint, and if you tag it with #1988 quaranthon, we’ll see it and reblog it! or, if you’re not comfortable with posting excerpts, you could reblog the sprint start post with your word count of how much you’ve written during the 3 hours.

happy writing, and as always, our ask box is open for suggestions, feedback and questions!

[kalena-henden]

I adore how you keep reblogging yourself! That’s confidence! And I love seeing it on my dash throughout the day! :)

LOL It feels more like survival. So many people don’t scroll back very far or don’t look in the tags. Also, most people don’t take worldwide timezones into account. My morning is evening in Europe. Reblogs are king to seeing a post, whether other people do it or you do it yourself. 

I just finished another John x Zari gifset which is queued for tomorrow morning.  I will reblog it all day long for your enjoyment. *wink*

[phandomficfests]

Flash Fest: Fic You’re Afraid to Write

We started PFF because we wanted to offer people a challenge--to write more, to write more often, to write at all. So now, we want to challenge you again. The theme for this fic is: Fic You’re Afraid to Write. 

Are you worried that you’re not creative enough to write some smut? Do you think your soulbond idea is a little too out there? Do you really, really wanna write the fic where one of them is a werepineapple, but you think its a little too silly. Or, do you have the itch to write them with other people but don’t wanna hear the backlash? Maybe you wanna write a kink that’s just a little too kinky, or a smut trope that fandom might raise an eyebrow about. 

We’re challenging you to write at least 500 words of something you’ve been afraid to write (reminder that 500 words is the minimum and however many words you wanna write before tomorrow is the maximum). No sign ups or betas required. And, something a little different, for this flash fest only, you can post snippets or incomplete fic. This is for this challenge only, afterwards we’ll go back to requiring fic to be completed to post. 

Posting happens Sunday, August 26. You can post at any point once it’s Sunday in whatever timezone you’re in, but fic reblogs will start Sunday morning UTC-06:00 timezone! AO3 collection link to come shortly.

ps. Just to be clear, we don’t want the fic that you’re afraid to write because its sexist/racist/queerphobic/otherwise oppressive. And we reserve the right not to reblog something if it bumps up against that line for us.

[immanueldid]

I’ve got a bone to pick with Queue...

How to use Tumblr’s Queue feature & Schedule Posts for fun and profit

Sorry in advance that I only have access to the web version of tumblr, and not the app, your mileage may vary!  Schedule, arguably the most important bit, is discussed at the end, but the basic how-to’s of the Queue are here for those that need it.

Social media is a powerful tool in which one can market their wares and services.   Tumblr is just one of the many platforms available in this, the year of our lord 2019.  Anyone can find their audience with persistence, a little knowledge of how tagging works and luck. But once you have your audience, what can you do? Maintaining an active population of followers is one of several contributors to your Blog’s overall health and growth. How does one do that? By posting! Consistently.

“But Scum,” you say, “I am but a mortal being.  I need to eat and need to sleep! I cannot dedicate my entire day and night to this!”

That’s absolutely alright, tiny speck! People don’t expect that.  Unless you’ve specifically stated that your blog is for original content only (Like, say, hosting a webcomic or archiving your fanfiction,) reblogging other things relevant to your theme, #aesthetic or interests will do just fine.  It may be filler, but it both keeps your blog active, and helps your followers get to know you! Alternatively, it just gives them more of what they came for, which is just as good! 

“But Scum,” you cry, “Surely there is no way my blog can be active without me!”

That’s where you’re wrong little flesh-bag! Tumblr, made by the crude, imperfect hands of mankind does have a feature to hide your ephemeral nature.  It is called the Queue. 

I can do it and Queue can too!

The Queue is essentially a backlog of posts that Tumblr will periodically publish to your blog, until the queue is empty.   You can adjust your settings to automatically publish 1 to 50 posts a day, and can queue up to 300 posts! You can also change the time frame when the queue will publish these posts, in relation to your set time-zone.

It’s easy as can be to set it up.

First, let’s look at how you can add a post to your queue:

By pressing the arrow next to “Reblog” (as well as “Post” when you are making your own) you are given a menu of additional options! Add to queue does exactly what it says.  “Reblog” will be replaced with “Queue” and the post will be added to the list to be periodically published.   Sadly, without the xkit extension you can’t queue answers to asks.

Note: The original poster will not be notified of you adding something to your queue OR your drafts, and will only receive a notification when the post is actually re-blogged at that later time. 

Now that your queue has something in it, you should have the Queue page available to you.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE DRAFTS BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Within the Queue you can access all the posts you’ve set to reblog at a later time, and play with the order in which your posts appear. By default, they will be posted in the order they were queued, and will show you exactly when a post will be published within the parameters you’ve set. 

When a post is in your queue, you’re given two options to organize them. Either you can force a post to the front of your queue with Move to Top, so it will be published next, or you can drag and drop them in place by clicking and dragging with Sort.

Now, likely as not you’ll want to tweak the default frequency of posts, and time frame of this automated activity, so let’s look at how we do that.  From within the queue itself, the options are presented directly above your collected posts.

However, to ensure your timezone is accurate you’ll be thrown into your blog settings, where you can also access the queue frequency and time frame of your simulated activity.  Handy if you don’t have any items in your queue already!

Whatever works for Queue

As for how much and how often? Now we’re dipping into social media/marketing theory, which people absolutely go to school for. I’m just a schmuck on the internet and I personally don’t use my queue as often as I should, while one of my friends has a queue several hundred posts long. So long in fact that I will get reblog notifications months after the fact.  It all comes down to personal preference.

Depending on how long you want to spend gathering relevant posts you may only want the queue to churn out a few posts a day.  A lower frequency means your queue lasts longer, and a shorter time frame will make those few posts relatively rapid-fire regardless.  Experiment and find something that feels right for you!

“But Scum,” you gasp, “That’s all very well and good but I have very important posts I need up at a specific time and a specific date! This queue can’t do that.”

Buckle up, little buddy, that’s what Schedule is for!

I can’t think of a pun for Schedule

This comparatively tiny section is the entire reason I wanted to write this guide, as Schedule allows you to set the precise time and date to post or reblog content.  Tumblr is an american based website and so can accept true dates in the format of mm/dd/yy (not dd/mm/yy,) though Tumblr does understand 24 hour time.  It also has enough intelligence to work with relevant time, and can understand things like Next Tuesday, Today or Tomorrow just as easily.

Each Scheduled post will appear in your queue with the other reserved posts, but be highlighted by the specific time and date that you’ve set.   The above example will be published Jan 4th 6pm according to my time zone of US/Central. 

Schedule is truly your most powerful tool for self promotion, because it can better guarantee your post gets seen.  Likewise, it will allow you to set up reblogs for opposing time zones with minimal hassle. There are peak hours of activity on tumblr and scheduling your posts to publish in that time frame will make a noticeable difference. This is where research will benefit you best, but for my fellow artists, writers and other self promoting persons, most of the important information is condensed in this post by UnionMetrics. 

But for those that don’t want to open another window?  Sunday night, 4pm-10pm EDT is the peak of the entire website’s week.  Nights in North America are always the busiest time, but do not shirk your local hours in favor of them, simply use the Schedule to set and forget a promotional reblog.

Hopefully these two things combined will help you find success in this blue hell.

How to Fix Tumblr and where I’ll be

Where to find me.

I’ll keep my tumblr up as long as the site is viable, but you can find me other places too. I’ll be posting fanart, fancomics, fanfic, ect.

Pillowfort (new fancomic coming tomorrow)

Personal twitter

Art only twitter

Ao3

I don’t know if this post will get shadowbanned, so reblogs are greatly appreciated!

I was thinking too, Verizon cares so much about advertisers? Don’t give them any. As long as this ban is up, don’t just email verizon. Don’t click on any ads to products through here. Not shows, books, physical goods, ads for movies, anything. I’m not saying boycott the products, oh no. They want to show the people advertising their ads work. So don’t let them have that. If you get anything advertised, like say hulu? Don’t click on their through link. Just look it up in another browser or hulu proper. When asked how you heard about the show, don’t mention tumblr. Don’t mention verizon. Don’t mention yahoo. I’ll tell surveys I heard it via carrier pigeon, before I tell them I heard it from a verizon company. They like algorithms so much? Lets mess with them.

I’d urge everyone not to just logoff tomorrow (not delete unless you want to), but call your reps about SESTA/FOSTA. Make this a hot button issue. These laws are directly connected to what’s happening on tumblr and other websites now. Laws that on the surface sound like they’re mean to protect people. But do the exact opposite. They make it harder to help victims of human trafficking, and they also gutted Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act that was part of Safe Harbor. That has been around since 1996 and was a founding principle that just because someone owns a website, doesn’t mean they’ll be treated as the original poster of any illegal content. These laws changed that in regards to sexual solicitation. It doesn’t matter if the owners take action afterwards, they can be held accountable now as the original poster.

These are the laws that are actively causing the damage done to places like tumblr and facebook, and even privacy violations. This is why Microsoft earlier this year changed their policies to say they can now read people’s skype conversations, word documents, emails, ect to make sure nothing inappropriate is going on. Because all they’re doing is sweeping ANYTHING remotely adult. (How many art tutorials and figure drawings are going to get lost? Even completely sfw accounts like @senshistock got hit.)

If you want things changed, then call and make some noise about getting this repealed and something in place that actually helps people, not censors the internet.

I plan on taking part in the tumblrlogoff protest. It’s not just about p*rn (if it was I wouldn’t have been followed by at count 10+ bots since this mess began.) This is about censorship. It’s about artists, even those that fit within tumblrs guidelines, being destroyed. It’s about this ban coming in on International End Violence against Sex Workers day. It’s about everything and anything being targeted, because algorithms aren’t magic. It’s about a company that cares more about advertisers than getting rid of neo nazis. It’s about so much more than just one thing.

Tumblr communities are great at making noise and causing an upset. Lets all get LOUD.
