#how tumblr go

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

A question for anyone who might know:

When I visit my blog on desktop, it no longer seems to have a search bar. Admittedly it was a Tumblr-provided search bar, so never especially functional; but at least I used to have one for when I wanted to check for old posts.

On mobile, it's still there. Just not desktop.

Does anyone have an idea why? I wondered if I'd accidentally changed a visibility setting at some point, but this is what I currently have active:

As far as I can see, I should only have lost the in-blog search bar if I'd enabled the third option, right? Baffling. Unsettling. Unnatural.

why we love Tumblr, even as it fumbles

Holy shit I think I just cracked the code of why people think you can’t sell things on Tumblr 😭

Oh, I remember the 2014 breach. They actually locked everyone out of Tumblr with a page that said "There's been a data breach, change your password or you can't come back in" and it looked so exactly like a phishing hack that they had to assure everyone via Twitter that no, it was genuine, they're just shit at explaining stuff.

Anyway, we all had to change our passwords. So. It's already done.

Change your Tumblr password now.

Humongous data breach just happened, with loads upon loads of sites being affected. Tumblr's among those. Also on the list is Wattpad for you fanfic people out there- among many, many other places.

There's a searchable list at the bottom of the article. Highly recommend scrolling or searching through, seeing what places you may be on that have been affected, and securing all your accounts. This thing's kind of big.

If you know people on any of the sites affected, let them know about this too, and spread the article around.

i swear to god i regret reblogging that estrolabs post because absolutely no one is focusing on the actual issue, which is that it's a phishing site very clearly run by malicious people and giving them any information on yourself could fuck you over big time

their ashwaganda "estrogen replacement" would be useless at best and extremely dangerous at worst, if it actually existed. however the products on that site almost certainly do not fucking exist and never have, and they have zero intention of actually producing them. the listings for the "supplements" aren't on the site anymore.

when scams like this pop up suddenly, they're not legitimate to even the slightest degree. there was never a real product, they were trying to get your money or your card and contact information either to doxx you, harass you, or literally steal from you. it's a PHISHING scheme, not a "making a shitty product to Literally Kill People" scheme. one of these things is far cheaper and far easier for a layperson to do.

while the information on the function of ashwaganda was definitely useful generally, it was/is not the most present danger of this estrolabs/queerquirk situation and people need to be aware of the actual threat these kinds of sites and situations pose.

as i was writing this estrolabs has been taken down, but queerquirk is still up and still advertising it's fake products and has a contact us page. do not give them your contact information, even to send hate. it is not worth getting phished to epicly own the dumbass behind this scheme. report the site and move on.

The exact opposite of being doomed by the narrative

I discovered this game while playing with a group of friends on Halloween, and I must say it was quiet immersive because we each wanted different things so we always had to argue together on what to do before the Voices would Took 3 days to complete a single run

I realise it is February and therefore a little late for new year's resolutions but honestly, lads, honestly, I think we all need to agree as a site that if we're going to screenshot people's tags we turn off dark mode first so we're not expecting anyone to read fucken dark purple writing on a black background
