Is this hellsite still shitty?
Yo so like, when they make an x-kit extension that lets me actually view the sensitive material I’m being warned about, or a site that functions like how Tumblr SHOULD function gets made and all the artists migrate there instead of splintering across 20 different sites, can someone let me know?
I just wanna see art. Smutty art, non-smutty art that gets confused for smutty by the cheap-ass algorithm, non-smutty art by artists who sometimes draw smut... I wanna see it all in one place.
I basically come on once a week for an hour now, I can’t be bothered to do more than that. I used to check this site several times a day to like and comment on art.

I suppose after 12 years it makes sense for Disney to make a cartoon about Team Fortress 2.

An Open Letter to Tumblr about the Adult Content Ban and How it is Hurting Your Users:
Recently, Tumblr was removed from the Apple app store due to an incident involving child pornography. This incident is incredibly unfortunate, but it doesn’t stand alone. Tumblr was also removed from the app store due to the large influx of porn bots and pornographic spam, users claiming to be proud to be pedophiles, blatant Nazism, racists who are not deleted for sending hate and harassing users, and more. I myself reported someone for harassing me, but because I had blocked the person and couldn’t access the messages where they harassed me, they were still able to send me anonymous asks. Your support staff, with back doors to the website (presumably), claimed they could not access the messages, and I was left SOL. Many features on this website do nothing to actually protect your users from harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Nazis, pedophiles, predators, porn bots, and more.
You claim in your statement to us that you “have been working on these problems for a long time”. This is blatantly untrue. Please do not lie to us and patronize us. We’ve been here. We’ve seen you do nothing over, and over, and over again.
We complained to you for months and months about the rampant porn bots, and you did nothing except add a report button on mobile which only reported sensitive content or spam at best. You could have addressed this problem with an effective algorithm, but you did not. We complained to you about being harassed and sent hate speech for being LGBT+, and you did nothing. We complained to you about blogs being randomly deleted, and sometimes you’ve restored them, other times you have not. We complained to you that there were people proudly claiming to be “Minor Attracted Persons”, or pedophiles, and you did nothing. We complained to you about people proudly claiming to be white supremacists, and you did nothing. All of these things are “against the community guidelines”, and yet over and over, you have not found effective ways to handle these problems or suppress the feeling of welcome that these users claim to get here. You have had a long time to work on these problems, but you haven’t addressed them. To say you have is untrue.
Multiple other social networking websites, such as Wordpress, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others have effectively dealt with rampant pornography, racism, pedophilia, and other problems without causing massive issues for their users who are not misusing the platform. They are continuing to find new, effective ways to deal with these issues without causing problems for their userbase as a whole. There is no reason that you are unable to do this effectively other than that you wanted to do it quickly. You have once again chosen your stock holders over your users. And we have had enough.
You have already started to ban “Adult” content with a new algorithm. Here are screenshots of just a fraction of the posts you have flagged as containing adult content:
Your new system of simply tackling everything at once is not working. At all. And each of these screenshots is proof of your utter incompetence. None of these posts contain pornographic acts, “female nipples”, or any community violation of any kind.
We, the users, have been asking you for months to deal with these problems - particularly, the porn bots and bots that spam. In order to block a bot from a side blog, I have to do it manually, even though they are in my side blog’s feed. This is a huge issue for mobile - only users. They keep cropping up in droves, taking over our posts and tricking google into making it look like a legitimate blog linked to a pornographic website. We have complained to you for months and months now, and your solution to simply “ban all adult content” is ineffective. I agree that children should not be able to access pornography - but this is not how you tackle a porn bot problem. Your system is utterly useless, allows for racists, pedophiles, porn bots, and Nazis to remain untouched. It also harms sex workers and real people who may use this website for some forms of adult content responsibly. Moreover, as seen above, it harms plenty of users who have in no way violated your terms of service.
If you keep this up, you threaten your website and company as a whole. Many of us are backing up our blogs and planning places to go to.
You already have a content filter for “sensitive” content (content inappropriate for younger viewers). You could have improved this, instead of attacking your entire user base. It seems to be a very lazy “solution”, if you could call it one at all, and one that harms your entire userbase.
If you are going to keep this filter in place and make Tumblr, a website that has never been known for being family friendly and has never claimed to be, you are going to lose millions of your users. We are already planning our exodus. It isn’t hard to follow. Censor us, and we will go somewhere else. That is not a threat. It is a promise.
Sincerely,
The users of your website.

Cursive has been obsolete since the invention of the typewriter. It was a means of quickly transcribing things, nothing more, nothing less.
Manual transmissions are, for the most part, obsolete. Yes there are people who will say they are better for racing etc. but most automatic transmissions perform less wear on the engine and last longer.
Things that are obsolete but still useful or pleasurable will survive. Horses were replaced by cars but we still enjoy horses. Objects or practices that are not those two things deserve to disappear.

Hey remember all those fucked up recipes from the 50s for like ham-wrapped bananas hollandaise or tuna, cream cheese and lime jello casserole?
Why have we regressed back to those times?
I don’t think I’ve ever been more viscerally angry about a Facebook recipe video. This shit burned my crops and stole my firstborn. I am absolutely appalled by this level of disrespect. I’m ready to fight.

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.— James 5:1-6

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
Tons of great artists on here I don’t follow, simply because I do not have time to scroll that much. The Mute extension can only do so much.

I don’t know why doctors insist on making you suffer with pain. Isn’t being so tiny suffering enough?
Oh gosh yes
Dat feel when painkillers for once actually works.
Long time stalkers might recall I’ve complained before about my general immunity towards regular painkillers and how my doctors refuse to prescribe me anything stronger ‘cuz I’m smol and dainty.
Usually, when I use painkillers they either:
Don’t work at all.
Takes 3-4 hours before they work.
Only works for a short while.
Only lessens the pain a bit.
Doesn’t work but makes me sick.
Or all of the above.
Today… a cocktail I’ve tried before of mixing kodimagnyl with panodil, I took out of desperation as this month’s period had me curled up on my bed crying.
Worked instantly.
Removed all pain instead of just lessen it.
I’m not feeling sick.
It’s amazing and only works like this rarely and I’m loving it, oh gosh I hope this’ll last more than just an hour or two.
Now I’m only bothered by the hot weather making my sweat a storm, but as long I’m not in crippling pain TOO I’m fine with that.

I am really loving this show, Emara’s costume design is so adorable. I hope you folks out there enjoy it as well. Animation from around the world is wonderful!
I gotta commission someone to draw Emara and SideTemp together. I dunno what’d be cooler, them trading masks/glasses, or Temp being unable to understand Emara ‘cause they speak different languages. Fff.
