With the stress about KOSA, I absolutely must tell you.

WE HAVE BEAT THEM MANY TIMES BEFORE. WE CAN DO IT AGAIN. Do your part and share what you can. We are so much more powerful than how fascists may perceive us.

Staff needs to listen

Anyways I’ve been getting over 380,000 notes a month easily and now I’m getting supposedly less than 1,000 a day. The ‘best stuff first’ feature has downgraded this site a tremendous amount, not only is the feature destructive to smaller blogs, they also somehow fucked up the activity page, and is no longer accurate or useful. 

Staff on tumblr rarely responds to unanimous disapproval unless shoved in their face, so I’m asking you guys to spread this post, and others like it around as much as possible as to get the message into their thick heads - that this greatly devolves the tumblr experience. 

Hey guys!

Classes are just starting, but my schedule still gives me plenty of time to rp! And I’m looking for ppl to rp with me! It’s a fun hobby and something I enjoy a lot.

ok, First, before I go into details, Here's some of my rules.

I don't mind spelling errors, but please make sure your replies make sense.

I roleplay in paragraph form, I can't stand script form, mainly because I find it's not very descriptive and the replies for script are too Short and its hard for me to give a good reply. Mostly it’s a challenge for me and I’m looking to have fun here.

Please, try and be descriptive with your replies, no one liners. Or at least try to do as few as possible.

This is an mxm rp, however it will be heavily plot based. I don't mind smut in the slightest, that said I will not rp smut unless you’re at least 19+.

I'm ok with doing an 18+ rp only if you're comfortable with doing it, so if you are interested just dm and we can discuss more. That said I’d like there to be plot. I don’t want an rp without any plot, it gets challenging for me to reply then.

cursing and gore is fine as well as violence too.

I rp in google docs, or discord, it’s easier to go back and reread replies that way.

I'm looking for an oc x character for this rp. Specifically I’m looking for a yu yu hakusho rp. I’d love it if someone could play hiei for me and in turn I’ll play a character for you, if that’s what you want! I’d love it to be post series, as I have more ideas for it, but I wouldn’t mind doing an au too. Just dm if y’all are interested and we can discuss more there!

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

The Verge

Passing the Kids Online Safety Act just got more complicated

KOSA’s momentum tempts other to push their favored bills.

KOSA is having trouble passing. Fucking good.

Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs?

This is Important

Hello all. I’m here to address what no one wanted to talk about for so long. Tomorrow, the issue on net neutrality goes up for debate. If it goes through, that means myself and a lot of other blogs will no longer have access to our accounts unless we pay for it. Now, normally I wouldn’t be too worried. But 2017 has been full of surprises and I don’t really know what to expect anymore. If it does happen, it won’t take action until about 1+ years and by then, who knows. There will be uprisings, protesting, and so much more. So hopefully it won’t last forever. If this happens, I want to say thank you. Thank you for reading my work, supporting my account. Thank you for letting me share my love for all these groups.

I love you all.
