So I’ve been hearing about all of the problems with tumblr recently. I wish there was a way to easily transfer all of my posts to a different blog site and keep all of the friends I made along the way. If tumblr does shut down or become unpopulated, I probably won’t continue the updates the way I’m doing it right now. It’s been a massive amount of work and losing that will be such a big stab in the heart.
I did just make my very first Instagram account, www.instagram.com/helledesigns where I’ll be posting occasional updates of plants when they’re doing something awesome. It will probably mostly be art related though.
The Pairs II Pack ends this week! It will be replaced with a new pack. Just visit SenshiStock dot com to pick up this great 59 image pack for only $6. ♥
I was forced to spend all my food money on vet care. I’m now trying to save what food I have for the dogs. I have no money for food and no money to get back to court on Wednesday. I don’t know how I’m going to make it. I was hoping cyber week would bring lots of sales but it didn’t. I don’t know why life is so hard.
I’m so desperate I’d sell you just about any of my paintings for anything that you could pay. I’ve taken donations before and I hate it. I’d much rather be selling a painting or a drawing. I know everyone has a rough time during the holidays. They’re really expensive.
I have no right to ask but I really need money.
If you would like to buy a piece pls. DM me. If you you can donate so I can get through I’d be grateful. I just don’t know how I can make it with -.80.
My PayPal is paypal.me/KateHavekost
I just don’t know who else to ask. I’m completely alone in the world.
so tumblr is wiping off nsfw content, that’s not really my problem. UNTIL i recently found out that tumblr has tagged some (A LOT) of my sketches and drawings as nsfw, for a reason god knows what. Now at this point I’m uncertain of the fate of this blog. SOOO, in case the worst happens and i’m M.I.A. from your timeline forever, i’ll leave my other ways you can still see my art again below
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 December 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.
