so i guess today people woke up and logged in just to see how crazy this censorship can get – now you can’t even see your own posts if they were (obviously incorrectly) marked as explicit. actually, there’s a way to see them.

you just have to go through the tag you use for your edits. posts that were marked explicit will look like this:

and if you click on the post, you’ll see this:

but take a look at the address bar

this is the post number. if you copy it and go to tumblr dot com/post number, you’ll see the post and will be able to edit it.

you can message support asking to review your post (since now it is the only way i believe) & also add a tag to your flagged posts to check if they’ve been unflagged.

WELCOME BACK! For those who logged off, this is what you missed.

1. @staff made a post pretty much saying “Your stuff isn’t getting deleted, just hidden from everyone but you” and “Yeah we know you hate the term “female presenting nipples” but we ain’t gonna stop saying it”

2. If a blog has a pixelated icon that means they got hit by the ban, you cannot view that blog outside the sidebar. You cannot even view their archive. Allegedly if you follow the advice in this post it’ll be fixed but only if it was an accidental flag (aka a real sfw blog)

3. The post Staff made including examples of what was ok to post. It got flagged.

4. Yes, the bots are still here. Yes they are still stealing posts and putting porn links on them. Yes there are still ads with stuff more sexual than they allow in posts. Yes innocent things are still getting flagged.

5. So yes, the site is still here and staff are still morons.

could also be “I’ll die but so will 90% of humanity, and future generations won’t have these problems due to selection” I guess. if almost everybody else is dying too it seems only fair

i guess? i feel like whenever i read primivitists they have a individually-centered ideology (there’s some ive seen that are egoists?), but i guess you could have a solely altruist primitivism…hmm

man I feel like that if you have a plan that’s going to ruin the lives of even a third of the population and you’re like “ya it’s rough but it’s tough love” then you need to volunteer to be one of the ones who has their life ruined for credibility’s sake

TIL consigning 30% to 90% of the population to death and/or terrible suffering is pure altruism. like, I get the point op’s going for here, but also consider that maybe primitivism is just extremely bad.

My boyfriend, who takes a cocktail of prescription medications, often gets into these arguments with “burn down the system [and, by extension, any kind of medical infrastructure]” types. My favorite was one in which he got accused of “thinking only of himself”. Yeah, okay, the disabled person with the bare-minimum request to not die is the one thinking only of themself. 

If you’re a solely egoistic primitivist then you’re at least consistent, but I’ve seen quite a few who call themselves socialists and even communists.

Photo of the Day – The Blue-crowned Laughingthrush (Garrulax courtoisi) is a Critically Endangered species now only found in the Chinese province of Jiangxi. This is certainly one of the world’s rarest and least-known species. The good people in the small village of Caomencun have taken fiercely to protecting the large Camphor trees where this species takes refuge.

This is where Rich Lindie managed to photograph this individual
