—The two lemon babies that germinated are coming along well and now have their own planters!
—After struggling for the last six months, the kumquats are putting on more growth and seem to be going somewhere! Apparently they’re notoriously hard to get going according to folks in a forum I looked for help on.

I can’t thank you all enough for all the amazing things I got with you there on Tumblr, but saddly Tumblr kinda dying if you heard what is happening, also many of my baguettes animations got flagged so … well it’s a bit sad for me.
I won’t delete my account or leave, will still post from time to time but if you really want to catch me and my futur works more often, there are all the links you can find me on!
Thank you all, thoses years have been amazing and with Tumblr I could grow and be proud of my work and happy to help people smile with my work, giving courage to people wanting to go into the animation road.
There are tens of thousands of snow geese in the quarries now and they pour across the sky in nets and skeins, and fill fields here and there with white and noise.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
