Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

My Mood and Theme for 2024: I AM Dauntless! 🔥

This was my reflection on 2o23…

Goodbye 2023 .. A year of jagged edges and bittersweet. A year of joy immense and grief intense... I made it through to the end, changed and stronger, with cracked places and broken spaces that let the light into my dark places. Farewell 2023. I am burning the edges of this year's wings so l can rise anew from its' ashes igniting with the power of the phoenix into the wide open skies of all good things are possible in 2024. 💓

An excerpt from my original poem “Requiem at the Death Masquerade Ball” that was the a-ha 💡point for my WIP.

In Armenian the word for "monster" is "hresh" and the word for "angel" is "hreshtak". How much love must these three letters possess to metamorphose a creature from monstrous to heavenly!

"Peace is an illusion.

And no matter how tranquil the world seems peace doesn't last long.Peace is a struggle against our very nature. A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle, and sinew of our own innate savagery.

The instinct of violence curls inside us like a parasite, waiting for a chance to feed on our rage and multiply until it bursts out of us.

War is the only thing we really understand."

Last Lines

Jumping on an open tag from @oh-no-another-idea bc I wanted to share this Nene-Lys interaction I wrote yesternight😇 They're definitely not friendly toward each other but still I love them together☺️

His eyes remained on her and she got the sudden urge to punch him in the nose. “What?” she snapped. “You look… different,” he said, still searching her face as if he wasn’t sure he was looking at an original painting or its copy. “Keep looking at me and I’ll make you look different,” Nerezza threatened. But Lysander ignored her; something on her had grabbed his attention. He reached out a hand and removed a white flower petal from her black hair, studying it with a frown. “Must’ve been blown in by the wind,” he muttered to himself.

No pressure tags for @drabbleitout, @vellichor-virgo, and @deadlines-and-deadbodies, aaaand anyone who'd like to share some last lines too!! Don't be shy!💞

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳 🧁 with this profile! #deadlinesanddeadbodies

I started this tumblr writeblr 1 year ago. Basically I set up a profile and then Life happened. Only recently have I been peeking out from Life’s cave to actually join in the #writeblr community.

I had another profile on tumblr years ago but I had let it become a wasteland. Last year I got an itch to check out tumblr again. I wanted something with a taste of both “the new bright shiny thing” and nostalgia. Tumblr was the answer.

Deadlines and Deadbodies was born. 🖤

When I first started with tumblr years ago, it was the creative Wild West of the internet. There was no such thing as “writeblr”. But with this new tumblr profile, I have officially got a #writeblr profile. And I’m loving this new writing community. I’m still a newbie to “writeblr” but what I’m seeing so far is fantastic! Thank you to the #writeblr community for your warm embrace of welcome. 🤍

Tumblr is a place of freedom, creativity and untameable. It’s still the creative Wild West of the internet. And this cowgirl loves being a member of the Wild West. Let’s ride on. Let’s write on. 🖤
