I am a big fan of the blogging advice “write the advice you needed three years ago”, because there are always a lot of people where you were three years ago.
And where I was three years ago was a wreck very obviously suffering from depression, anxiety and an eating disorder, halfheartedly bounced around between school clinicians who had a hard cap on how many times they could talk to me before transferring me out, in need of precisely three pieces of advice:
Keep meal replacement shakes by your bed and drink two every morning.
Take stimulants. It really is possible to both attend class and prepare in the meal on the same day, and it really isn’t possible to succeed in college when you’re deciding every day whether it’s going to be a Basic Life Task day or a School Task day.
Systems that you can engage with in wholehearted good faith are very rare. Most systems you need to engage with carefully, defensively and informedly, with the goal of not letting them hurt you and convincing them you’re worthy of help. (The stronger and less in need you get, the more people will want to help you. Sorry. You can’t change it if you don’t learn how to handle it.) Get the fuck through college, and then try to build yourself a life out of systems and people you don’t spend half your energy deflecting. There’ll be so much of you to build that life with.
I hate to ask for this but this should be the last time I ever need to do so since my job starts December 4:
Long story short, I was supposed to be at my aunt’s house until my job started, when she would feed me and give me money to take care of my bills, but rough weather meant my transportation there got cancelled and my aunt couldn’t make it over the mountain pass to pick me up, and now I’m in my house with no food and with a student loan bill of $250 (payment for December and November since I overdrafted on my bank account when they took November payment and my bank refunded it and fined me) due December 1st. So, if I can get $250 + $40-$60 for grocery money before my job starts (The training is in Vancouver and they’re covering my transportation and food for two weeks so I’ll be okay) that would save me after having the carpet yanked out from under my feet.
My paypal.me is here and Canadians can e-transfer directly to me at lingeringdreamer@gmail.com (use my url as the password or pick your own and message it to me).
Thank you so much and I appreciate every single little amount <33333
Now me? I’m a NSFW blog. I occasionally reblog raunchy fanart and pretty pictures of scantily clad hot people. This means that:
If people are browsing in Safe Mode (which is the default, CHEERS TUMBLR) and are not following me they will see nothing of mine in the search or tags.
Let me be clear: NOTHING OF MINE.
My whole blog is flagged as NSFW even though I mostly reblog stupid comics of tv characters failing to use stairs. So for every one NSFW post I have that these Safe Mode users don’t want to see, they’ll miss the nine other posts I make about werewolves in pink knitted sweaters.
Pretty shit huh? Oh wait, bro, it gets better.
That’s blogs flagged NSFW. Blogs flagged Adult have it INFINITELY shittier.
Porn-intensive blogs have ZERO visibility beyond the dash. Unless a user is following them,they are invisible. Even reblogs are tetchy because with the new restrictions, anyone reblogging NSFW content runs the risk of being flagged as NSFW themselves and thus might not take the risk.
So porn blogs: crippled, basically. No dicks and o-faces for you, tumblr users. But how’s this for another, infinitely more terrifying, approach: all those sex-ed blogs? All those beautiful how-to-masturbation, body-positive and sex-positive blogs? Under the current definitions:
You guessed it: they’re Adult. If they’re not flagged as such by the blog owners themselves, tumblr can do it for you:
“If you’re not sure how you should flag your blog you can leave it unflagged, but keep in mind that it may be flagged automatically.” (x)
So there you have it.
Fuck. Basically. Everything.
PS: Anyone wanting to turn Safe Mode off (because hey, if you haven’t checked yours yet, it’s totally on! YAY!):
Hit your settings icon
In the left hand menu hit Dashboard
And uncheck the “browse tag pages in safe mode”
It’s nowhere near a complete solution, but it’s as much as we’ve got right now.
* Or I’m assuming you’ll be able to? This feature is greyed out for me atm. A+ rollout of functionality there, tumblr.
i checked, and it does NOT have me automatically in safe mode. and i don’t remember ever unchecking it?
I have thought something was wrong when I couldn’t find anything in the search results… I have disabled safe mode long ago.. but ever since the ‘cookie’ rule from EU and the following update from Tumblr everything has turned sour.. I can’t find anything anymore. I can’t find a fix..
This must be why their search results have changed from no longer having that option to turn on and off 18+ content blogs 🤔🤔🤔
nothing with nsfw/ nsfw related tags show up on the search
EVEN if you have safe search off
how are we supposed to find anything, why does tumblr allow us to post nsfw and adult content if its not gonna reach anyone
Wow. What a bunch of shit this is Tumblr. Thanks for nothing.
Three cheers for censorship🖕🖕🖕
They don’t have any real choice. Blame shitty governments that hold tumblr responsible for Obscene Content. (Which depending on the government can mean “Anything with gay people in it” or “Anything kinky” or “Photos of naked statues”). I’m worried about being flagged myself for occasionally posting useful information about sex and reproductive biology.
Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin who has recently relocated to northern Minnesota to be closer to my children and have better access to healthcare. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and I am still having to help cover the utility bills back home on the reservation for my father who is also disabled.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
the house crow is a medium-sized crow that is native to asia, but has introduced populations throughout the world. the house crow’s neck and chest are grayish-brown, the shade varying based on location. like other crows, house crows are omnivores and opportunistically feed on small animals, human scraps, and insects.
This is a list of recs I got by refreshing and screencapping over just a few minutes. They showed up for me because I’m interested in: tigers, foxes, wolves, libraries, Egypt, Mario, and delicious food. You may also get these if you like Google, faggot, fart, beard, avatar, bangtan boys, gordita, snow, French fries, brandy, ponytail, beautiful hair, veggies, BBC, urban, and German.
If you noticed, they got around the nsfw stuff with words like hoirny, titsjob, brests, nudesnap, and petite teen. Female ejaculation and webcam girls still seem to be okay.
The sad part is I didn’t get this stuff before. Only when they started weeding out actual NSFW words did the bots start tagging stuff with Egypt and library. So I’m guessing a lot more thirteen year olds with a love for French fries and Mario are getting porn advertised to them now.
I miss when I got architecture porn instead of porn porn.
I’ve been followed by an absolute shittonne of porn bots since this crackdown. Loads of greyed out actual blogs on my dash but whee, new porn
