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.
*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.

“Haltmann Works confirmed in a press release earlier today that the corporation’s R&D department suffered an unfortunate accident yesterday evening after hours. It emphatically denied any official interest in cloning technology, however, and refused to answer any questions about the sudden appearance of an army of His Majesty’s genetic duplicates in the wee hours of the morning.”
Does Tom King hate Superman, or something? I don’t read the guy’s work regularly, but between this and Batman scoring a home run against Superman’s pitch a few months ago, I can’t help but notice some definite Supernerf in King’s work.

Are you fucking serious? Is this a thing that actually happens in that comic?
just to be clear, I’m staying here as long as this site functions. I have 0 intentions of deleting this blog, I will go down with this ship if only to see exactly how bad it gets
For anyone even remotely interested in sci-fi, today SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy launched a Tesla Roadster into space. Don’t Panic is written on the Dashboard, the radio is continuously playing David Bowie’s “Life on Mars”, and the dummy in the driver seat is called Starman. EDIT: As a bonus, here’s a livestream of the driver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2p55BmwmJM
Barring, of course, the sporadic misfire of whatever bots Tumblr is employing to target posted art.
Remember: Flagged posts can be appealed.
So, to clarify what’s going to happen, here’s a handy checklist:
Images of real-life nudity will be flagged
Flagged posts will be only viewable by the poster and nobody else
Flagged posts can be appealed and fixed if done so by mistake
That’s it
Blogs will not be indiscriminately deleted
Posts will not be indiscriminately deleted
Written smut will not intentionally be flagged
Illustrated or otherwise artistic nudity will not intentionally be flagged
Tumblr’s RP community, SFW or otherwise, will not implode upon itself
Mad bombers, matchmaking, magic spells—what’s a butler to do?
Meet Bostwick von Dogsbody, a sardonic door-to-door magician, and his white rabbit, Emmaline, who just happens to be a cursed human princess. The two are traveling through the goblin-run continent of Ataxia in search of the legendary Domino of Nonpareil—a mask that allows the wearer to become anything he desires—in order to return Emmaline to normal. Their journey has finally led them to Styx Castle, where they meet Millicent, a human maid who wound up in Styx due to mysterious (and embarrassing) circumstances, and Delilah, a goblin queen with a taste for the chaotic.
But Bostwick’s theft of the Domino does not go unnoticed. To avoid a harsher punishment, he agrees to be Delilah’s butler for a hundred years. Before he can escape the queen’s clutches, he’ll have to face mad bombers, an all-bugbear police force, romantic schemes gone awry, and a mysterious goblin-turned-cat named Sebastian who also has designs on the Domino. And as if that wasn’t enough, he soon learns that Millicent is also a magician—and needs him to teach her!

I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
