A heads up for y’all:

Tumblr is apparently getting pretty serious about deleting people with multiple unused URLs for violating community guidelines. If you’re going to use multiple URLs for whatever reason (you’re saving one for a cool blog idea you’ve got, you’re seeing what combos of header and background the blog generator spits out, you’re a pastel moodboard blogger and you’ve gotta differentiate between dusty rose, millennial pink, and rose gold, you’re trying to follow in aquafresh’s steps and re-start woody’s roundup) - WHATEVER the reason - you have to use those blogs like blogs. If you’ve got an empty sideblog URL (even just ONE empty blog) Tumblr may decide to treat it like a bot and delete your whole ass blog.

This is ESPECIALLY true if there’s a recent uptick in bot activity on tumblr (and I can’t be the only one who has gotten twenty messages about “pics for u” this week).

So if you’re generating new URLs please put something on them.

Signed,  - that weirdo with a million sideblogs who doesn’t want to see you get deleted

IMPORTANT !! PLEASE READ

YES HELLO apparently Tumblr is suspending blogs for having to many urls saved; my bff just lost her account ( imeldarivera ) and she’s devastated, she emailed the staff but they just don’t answer and for what we saw, a lot of accounts went through the same thing. I am worried the same thing could happen to my blog and you should be worried about yours too if you have a lot of urls. The staff are just ignoring the users, they don’t even send emails warning about this so please, try to delete urls that aren’t that important and please spread this post.

Dear Person Reading This

If I tagged you, then I really hope you reblog this for your followers. I’m not doing it for attention, I’m doing it because even I needed this letter.

—

Dear person reading this,

You’re amazing. And I’m going to give you every reason on why. So throughout this entire thing, just listen. It’s going to get cheesy, and you’re going to feel like scrolling to skip to another point. But don’t, let everything sink in slowly so that you realize it’s true.

If you manage to get through the entire thing without believing it at the end, then I want you to read through it again. Read it so many times that you’re mocking it. And then read it once more. Believe that it’s all true, and maybe you’ll feel confident, even if it’s just a little while.

Dear person reading this, you’re beautiful. I know you don’t see it, especially at the dark times when the light is just too far. But other people do, even if it’s just the tiniest thing like a nose scrunch, or how your face concentrates.

As I’ve read once before, you’ve never seen your expressions in the most beautiful moments. When you receive good news, that makes your heart swell with joy. How your eyes light up when you talk about something you enjoy. When you laugh, and how it sounds like music to the person that likes you. Hell, even when you’re down in the dumps, and you truly believe like you’re having the worst day for everything, someone, even if it’s just one person, thinks you’re beautiful.

Dear person reading this, you’re talented. If you can’t do any of the arts, that’s fine. You don’t have to be good at doing plays, writing, drawing or playing music. If you’re not good at any schoolwork, that’s fine. You have that other special thing that you do constantly. If you don’t play sports, then that’s great too. You don’t have to.

If your art doesn’t turn out to what you want it to look like—speaking to all art forms—just remember, when you’re showing it to someone, they didn’t have that same idea in your head. They’re seeing it for the first time! To them, it’s like gold, even though to you it’s just bronze painted gold.

Dear person reading this, you’re incredibly smart. In or out of school. You’re smart, you manage to navigate the world every single day! You’re learning things you didn’t even realize! Hell, you’re even mastering some of them!

If you’re in school, and you can’t keep certain grades up even though you’re trying, don’t worry about it. As long as you tried your absolute hardest—even if it isn’t that much!—you tried. And you get to say that you did. But, don’t use those grades against yourself. They don’t define you, don’t let them define you.

Dear person reading this, you’re loved beyond your control. No matter what situation you’re in at the moment, there’s always someone that loves you. I’m one of them! I don’t even know you and I already know you’re amazing!

Every single day someone thinks of you at least once and they smile to themselves. If it isn’t your parents, then it’s your friends. If it isn’t your friends, it’s some random kid that looks at you during the day every day to make sure you’re there. Your friends who text you, on any social media platform. Anyone who likes or follows you, retweets or reblogs, comments or DMS you, there’s always someone thinking about you.

Dear person reading this, you have potential. I know you don’t see it right now, or if you do, then great. But there’s always something directing you on the path for a reason. If you need to reach your dreams, then reach far, because I know you can! I believe in you, other people believe in you! You can do it.

Dear person reading this, you and everything you do, is valid! Your daily routine of doing your hair or picking out clothes. Not eating your vegetables, doodling when you should be working, anything.

Why? Because you’re unique. What kind of person would you be if you followed in someone’s steps directly? Spice it up if you don’t feel like you’re as valid as I say you are!

Dear person reading this, stop saving things to use at the “perfect time”. I hate to break it to you, but that time is never coming. Summer body saving for next year? Do it now. Wear the new clothes you just bought! Wash them later.

If you try and save it for something special, and all these events are passing you by, you’re missing out. There’s no perfect time to do it, then now. Eat the chocolate bar! But show self-control by saving some of it for later. Show discipline but not enough to bring yourself down.

Dear person reading this, go easy on yourself. If you’re too hard, then you’re going to do some mental damage. Go slow, you don’t have to pressure yourself.

Dear person reading this, change doesn’t happen all at once, give it some time. I know you want it to happen overnight, but they weren’t wrong when they said practice makes perfect.

Dear person reading this, I hope you’re well. Did you drink your water? Eat your food? Take a shower? Your medicine? I hope you did, stay healthy. Don’t let your body deteriorate at all, take care of it as much as you can.

Dear person reading this, I wish you the best. I hope that life gives you the best, I hope you get everything you want in life and more. I hope that you become successful, you deserve it.

Dear person reading this, do whatever you have to do to get through life. Just don’t harm yourself in the process. Don’t leave the world early. Stay for the ride even if it’s bumpy, if you have to get off and walk around the bumps, then do it.

Dear person reading this, you’re absolutely perfect to me. In every aspect that I’ve described and more. You’re the world to some. You’re the world to me. Be gentle with yourself.

Signed,

A lost girl that needs to take care of herself.

Please reblog this for your followers! They need this too!

STOP SCROLLING!

Oka, I plan on following everyone on tumblr

literally everyone

Please reblog so I can make this happen

[ask-sweet-and-spice]

TO ANYONE CHATTING TO SOMEONE ONLINE

If you are considering meeting up with someone online use this trick identify who really are who they claim to be:

1. Ask them to Skype 2. If they refuse or can’t for some reason ask for a current selfie 3. If they also refuse or can’t do not meet up with them 4. If they provide one ask them to send another with them holding 3 fingers up 5. If they refuse read step 3 6. If they provide a selfie where they show 3 fingers they are probably for real

(If you’re still unconvinced try again with them drawing something in their hand)

I SAY THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY please spread this message as more and more young people are lured out into situations where they get kidnapped because they weren’t 100% sure the person they were talking to was real.

I just learned that some websites use cookies to adjust prices. That is, if you visit a certain website a lot the price will increase.

You can tell if that’s the case by checking the same web page on a different browser if you have a different number of stored cookies for that site. I checked something on Chegg and it was $14.95 on Chrome, $19.95 on Firefox, and $16.95 on Safari.

The fix? Clear your cookies for that website.

Why Isn’t Tumblr Freaking Out?!?!

Guys. Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!!!!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed!

Article 13 just got passed.

Article 13 just got passed.

I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!

ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!

It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)

They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!

You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.

If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition

If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!

You’d need a license for everything!!!!

And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.

No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!

Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.

Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).

I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!

I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.

Keep reading

THIS IS URGENT! READ THIS!!

THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE!! PLEASE HELP ME SURVIVE!

My name is Yves, I’m a trans guy, and I have severe PTSD, and am chronically ill (rare blood clotting disease, and an autoimmune deficiency disorder), I’ve had multiple MAJOR surgeries that have resulted in complications, I suffer with severe chronic pain, I’m also disabled, and because of all of this I NEED my medication to survive. I’m NOT getting the medical treatment I need and have limited access already. My health is failing and it’s taking an irreversible toll on my body. (Read my gofundme me for more in-depth information about how scary this is)

https://www.gofundme.com/6bo0xo8?pc=ot_co_dashboard_a&rcid=b071504cc4d645eb867d13d10bd92ba7

I’m trying to move to Colorado to escape (my abuser and stalker that I have a really traumatic history with. Violence and including assaults) I’m stuck in my hometown right now in northern MN. Where I’m at right now IS NOT safe for me and I need to leave..

My friend in Colorado has a place that I can move into ASAP, I just need first and last months rent. I have to move this month or she has to find a different roommate because of her own financial situation, so this is my lucky chance!! I NEED to move to Colorado for better access to health care, and for my own safety.. This is VITAL for my health (mentally and physically).

I appreciate anything and everything! If half of you donated I’d be okay. If you consider yourself an ally to trans ppl, disabled ppl, chronically ill ppl, SW’s, Survivors, indigenous ppl, please donate or boost this!!

If you have any respectful questions, I’d be happy to answer them for you.

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting. 

If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr. 

THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. 

IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR. 

So here is what you need to do to drag this article down. 

1. Spread the word 

I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down. 

2. Make your own content 

Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved. 

3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs 

Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD. 

The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people. 

Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.” 

We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post. 

FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE. 

Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.

self care for when you hit rock bottom

i fucking hate self care posts made by neurotypicals so here’s one from someone who Actually Gets It

-can’t shower or take a bath? me either. dry shampoo can make your hair look and feel cleaner, and baby wipes or makeup wipes work great to get the top layer of grime off your skin.

-can’t wash your sheets and make your bed? i feel you. push your blankets out of the way and shake the crumbs off your sheet. it will at least be a bit more comfortable.

-can’t even change out of your dirty pajamas? been there. hit yourself with some febreeze and a lint roller. if you can, brush your hair. if you can’t, hair ties and bobby pins are fantastic.

-can’t make anything to eat? same. if you can, there’s no shame in ordering food. in fact, it’s probably better you eat something rather than go hungry. if you can’t, try and find something that comes pre-made or takes minimal effort to make. at the very least, drink some water.

can’t respond to messages or reach out for help? yeah, i get that. set an alarm for a few hours from now and respond to any messages you need to once you’ve given yourself time to prepare. if they’re Important Messages that need Professional Responses, you can find fill-in-the-blank format rough drafts on google. as far as personal messages go, don’t feel bad for sending a mass “I’m sorry, I’m in a personal emergency right now. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” response to everyone.

-can’t even sleep because it’s so bad? asmr videos always knock me out, personally, but i also watch a lot of bob ross. just try to find something quiet and soothing to use as background noise and take your mind off it, or at least give you a more peaceful environment to think about it.

-can’t go for a walk/drive? try opening the blinds or curtains. you’re still exposing yourself to the outside world. baby steps. (i also play animal crossing or sims; it may be virtual but fuck it. i went on a walk.)

-can’t go into work/school? let people know. let your coworkers or classmates know it’s an emergency and you can’t make it. give yourself up to two days, but then you have to go back. ask to have your work emailed to you so you know what you missed.

-can’t brush your teeth and wash your face? makeup or baby wipes and gum or mouthwash. don’t let yourself physically rot bc you’re rotting emotionally.

-remember that you’ve been here before. if you survived then you can survive now. that’s what this is about- survival. you don’t have to be living your Best Life. right now, it’s more than enough that you’re alive.

I’m always here for everyone.

DELTARUNE SPOILER

I HAVEN’T PLAYED DELTARUNE BUTBI JUST REALIZED SOMETHING.

I heard someone mention before that there’s a character named Suzie in Deltarune and that Monster Kid’s sister in Undertale might be the same person.

But.

I just realized.

Suzie is the character that everyone says is like Undyne.

Undyne might remind Monster Kid of Suzie.
