The world became this surreal place Empty, evacuated space Suddenly void of previous clutter On grand scale, Nothing that’d matter. Everyone shouting Yet streets’re abandoned Heart wildly pounding Another Freedom square for a missile to land on. Yet system is saying to dance On and on and on While people are dying And children are crying And on and on and on With people still lying Whilst odds still defying ... Is Ukraine

Save The Blogs!

Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.

Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.

(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)

I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there. One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.  

This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress

I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.  To break it down, just in case:

 Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go. On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.

Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.

It will tell you if that option is still available for free.

Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.

Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr! The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.

Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers”  at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.

Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically. You’ll have to allow Wordpress permissions on your blog.

Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.

Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!

ALSO!!

I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.

This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access. To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick. tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.  I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.

These people are, in fact, actually evil and completely lacking in any sort of empathy for their fellow humans.

This is not an exaggeration. 

Literally laughing at young children. Being tear-gassed.

There are Disney cartoon villains who wouldn’t even do that.

Article 13 & Youtubers

Youtube has made a response to this subject, which you can read here. 

“Article 13 threatens hundreds of thousands of jobs, European creators, businesses, artists and everyone they employ. The proposal could force platforms, like YouTube, to allow only content from a small number of large companies.“

There are dozens of videos and other resources out there that can help you understand exactly what content would be limited, or even prohibited completely, if this article were to pass. We’ve also linked below a petition for you guys, which you can sign even if you’re not from Europe.

Youtube’s twitter thread: Click here

Website: saveyourinternet.eu

Change.org Petition: Click here

Feel free to reblog this post and link to other resources not mentioned here.

A lot of posts on this article may seem a bit overwhelming, but the least we can do is try to provide you guys some starting resources so you can learn what may happen to your favorite creators. 

If people like us speak up and take proper action, we can continue to enjoy content from creators all around the world. So, we hope you can consider taking some time to fight against Article 13. Thank you for reading.

Shae was recently physically assaulted by her brother, and in the fallout she’s ended up at a homeless shelter that’s not safe for about a month now. Her phone was stolen on Halloween while she was at work, and she relies on her phone for work schedule, doctor’s appointments, important phone numbers like for her case manager and therapist, her map to get around, banking information; everything. Any donations would go to food, transportation, phone (it will cost roughly $200 to replace since she hasn’t finished paying it off yet), laundry tokens, medications, toiletries, credit card bills, and hopefully rent. She has an upcoming rental interview but it will cost another $300 for first month’s rent.

Here’s her donation link: https://cash.me/$glitterfuse

Thank you for helping. Shae misses you and hopes to return as soon as she’s physically safe and able to.

Dear Men Writers

Lesser known facts when writing women:

High heeled shoes don’t become flats if you break the heels off.

The posts of earrings aren’t sharp.

Nail polish takes a long time to dry and smudges when wet.

You can’t hold in a period like pee.

Inserting a tampon is not arousing or sexual in any way, ever.

Feel free to add your own.

So i went on a date to a haunted house and made friends with the girls behind us. As we’re going through, one of them is holding my hand and a guy leaps out and separates us. I panic as my date is pulling me along, I reach back for her and grab her hand in a group of three other performers and start getting out if there. After a bit I look back to check on her and I discover I’m holding the hand of a six foot tall zombie creature and not a 5'2" girl.

Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.

I had basically kidnapped this performer from his section and abandoned the girl and her friend behind us.
