A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain
anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in
the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it
was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September,
shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an
all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the
former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child
pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem
was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.
Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to
make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the
platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just
before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure
out how to better monetize.
On that note-
Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose
Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should
focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge,
“Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to
[make] a ton of money.”

Speaking of cut roses, the ones I rooted earlier this year have actually fared pretty well, health-wise. I know there’s a couple of conspicuously gross leaves here, but most of them are clean, and that’s what we want. The general fall rose bloom I was looking forward to was aborted by weeks of rain and the early freeze, so even this one flower feels worth celebrating.
I got some cuttings of my grandmothers Christmas Cactus a few years ago, I’m finally taking care of her properly, she won’t bloom this year but maybe next year.
This is a (plectranthus) Mona Lavender i got her a few weeks ago I was looking for regular lavender, but Home Depot didn’t have any, so got this instead. I finally did get some regular lavender about a week later at Lowe’s.
Epiphyllum oxypetalum. Pot it in well draining soil and give it some direct sunlight and it’ll do well 🙂 the pot shouldn’t be too scarce either, if you want to see flowers. If you’re thinking of potting up cuttings in a pot, choose a smaller pot if you have fewer cuttings. They like the stems to be close to each other.
