This line drawing was flagged, but not the painting it became. Weird.

New game, squint at flagged drawings and try to guess what bits the bot thought was naughty

I’ve been doing that when I can! Like, one was a moth with eyespots on its wings, so I figured it must have mistook those for areolae, but I’m stumped on this one LOL.

Ok so, since Tumblr is being an over protective Christian mother int he worse possible ‘Carrie’ sort of way, I’m going to ask that ya’ll reblog and spread the word about your favorite writers and artists again. Likes are nice, but reblogging is way better. And with the way things are and tags and searches being literally nonexistence, we need you so much! I know activity has gone way, way down for me and other writers and artists, and now, it’s gotten so much worse. Tumblr has literally fucked up being able to search for anything at all. Your reblogs mater and are so important. If you want to keep seeing content from us, please, for the love of god, reblog. I hate asking this, but it means the world to me to be able to keep creating here. If Tumblr keeps fucking up then a lot of your fvaorite artists and writers may move elsewhere. Hopefully Tumblr will get everyone back to working order soon, but for now, YOU are the most important thing to us creators. 

Agreed. Nobody likes or wants to guilt trip but the reality is that, especially if you create mature content or content that could be deemed risky (such as LGBT content) most specifically to advertisers, creators need help in getting their works out there because as we are seeing in real time the built in tools of the system are falling to pieces. Algorithm, what algorithm?! Thus we rely on others to reblog, moreso now than normal (and we already rely on them a lot) to gain exposure and, in the case of those of us who are selling art, pay the bills. It’s why I constantly re-reblog my work: I love making art but as a creator love isn’t eyes on my work or money in my pocket or food in my stomach.

So please consider, if you like someone’s work, reblog it–it goes a long way.

TIL that in Oklahoma in the 1920s, ranchers, lawyers and public officials conspired together to murder 60+ Osage Indians in order to secure the rights to their oil-rich land. Only two men were ever convicted. Both were paroled and one pardoned by the governor of Oklahoma.

Read Mean Spirit by Linda Hogan.

It’s one thing to read about history from an objective perspective. To know that it occurred. It’s another to read the story as told by an Indigineous writer, to really grapple with the meat of the conflict rather than the facts. Mean Spirit dramatizes many elements, and is far from a historical account- but if you want to really understand a tragedy, read books written by the survivors.

I have had 3 mineral posts flagged as adult content today. They contained a tourmaline, a muscovite, and a galena. On Friday I had 3 fossil posts flagged as adult content, including a fossil fish, a fossil tooth from a mastodon, and a Tyrannosaur vertebrae. I’ve submitted appeals for each. This has been getting worse over the past month, apparently most of geology content is now only for adults.
