‘When you loved me, colours appeared in the sky’
we were not born into this world to do extraordinary things. but rather, to do human things. to cherish beauty and love people. to run through the woods and drink from sweet cool lakes. to bite into ripe strawberries and count the sparkling stars. to give comfort to those who hurt and need. to laugh loudly, cry deeply. to fill notebooks and canvases– to dream and tell stories and create wondrous life. to live. and in living, we will have done something completely human, something completely unique and beautiful.

You know what I like about art? That it embodies a person's view of the world they have around, even when that world isn't necessarily beautiful. It's like you get to see through someone's eyes, through their experiences and likes or dislikes. And sometimes you get to see how a person has decided to live, despite what true life is really like.
Intoxicating sweetness...
Me llamas flor, y yo solo tengo de eso los pétalos rojos que me ves cuando me enfado.
Me dices que me quieres aún cuando hay tormenta, y yo solo espero no ser quien las provoque.
Me dices que me amas, y yo solo temo que algún día esas palabras te sepan amargas.
Me llamas flor, pero todos sabemos que, cuando llega el invierno, las flores se marchitan.
We got Tumblr’s attention with our past peaceful protest campaigns
Protect the Creators
Bring Back Reply
Protest against hate speech
Bring Back Arch Atlas
Maybe it is time we use our beloved Tumblr to protest this sexist policy that marks female nipples as porn. Tumblr is being extreme in what its decision and policies, and is using a useless algorithm that sees Rothko paintings (see @dailyrothko) and flowers and all kinds of non-porn images as porn.
So, on Monday, 12-17-18, we should not post anything on Tumblr, except the above photo, which is available here. NOTE: You can also add these to your avatar to let anyone who visits your site know about this.
As this post suggests, if we have a queue with images, we should add this one to 12-17-18. As part of our protest, we should not do anything on Tumblr for the whole day: no dashboard, no posts, no comments, chat, replies. We should also, as recommended by @jtmportland, we should also completely log out to show a physical drop in traffic/use.
Also, please think about putting @staff & @support on any and all reblogs of this and any on any posts about this, since this will send them a direct notification of each and every post about this. We need to flood their dashboards so they see we are upset.
Also, please use the staff and support tags.
Again, here is the link to the above sign: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CWHndyT6EUu1ZKzS_CCUZ4yEJlS6vhcI
