Hey y’all. There’s a Tumblr clone that’s live (I emailed to doublecheck) but there’s hardly anyone using it yet. We could have the sandbox all to ourselves for a while. The functionality isn’t all there, but if they get an influx of users, I bet that will change. I don’t know much about it, but transgendersam found it and I checked it out at their recommendation.
imperfect-porkchop asked:
I have heard tell that the list of banned content somehow includes chronic pain. Are you going to export your blog just in case? Also in the event you are shut down will you be moving your questions somewhere like a Facebook page or personal blog?
Siggghhh… I am so old, I know so little about anything techie. I don’t own a cell phone! I can barely use this website! I have thought about backing up this blog or creating a mirror blog just in case, but I have no idea how to do it! lol
I would appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.
Nibblebit.com offers a similar platform to Tumblr and you can import your already existing content as well.
A woman working at an OB/GYN office, who was a breast cancer survivor, asked Dr. Barry W. King to look at a lesion on her vagina
The woman was concerned her cancer returned so she turned to King for help
King examined her, and afterwards told her to have her husband look at it later
Once home she used the bathroom and noticed the toilet paper was purple
She recognized the purple as gentian violet, which is a dye used to treat different medical conditions but thought it wasn’t used anymore
When she went back to work, King acted giddy and confessed he pranked her
She realized King also told several other people she worked with about the ‘joke’
She said in court she believes he was hoping she had sex with her husband and that it would dye his penis purple as part of the prank
King took a plea deal, pleading guilty to harassment and got to keep his license
lowkey cis men should not be ob/gyn’s. too many men are fucking trash like this dude.
This is some sick shit. This bastard gets to keep his medical license and isn’t in jail? Tell me again how we don’t need feminism because misogyny no longer exists.
On the one hand, it’s easy to see why Tumblr, now in its 11th year as a social media platform known for “reblogs” and image-heavy content, made this move: It seems very likely Apple forced its hand. In November, Apple banned Tumblr’s official app from the iOS store because of reported child pornography on the platform. This led to a sitewide crackdown on pornography that left many users complaining that their NSFW blogs had been unfairly purged in the sweep.
Yet despite last month’s initial purge, the app has still not been restored to the iOS store, in what seems to be a clear “fix this or else” ultimatum from Apple that has almost certainly prompted the current crisis. As Motherboard wrote on Monday in its breakdown of the Tumblr situation, “Apple has repeatedly leveraged its unprecedented power over millions of smartphones to sanitize the apps that are available on iPhones.”
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.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I’ll most likely be doing this. I encourage you to do the same.
I don’t know if it will really change anything, but give it a shot. Let’s show Tumblr we are not happy with their constant fuckin’ shitty choices.
Don’t log in for ANY reason on D-Day. No reason. A full 24 hours. Go take a self-care day. Eat some fancy snacks, drink a soda, sit in the tub for a few hours.
I think this is a good idea and I’ll be doing this. My posts are infrequent, but I’ll make sure there won’t be any content and I’ll log out on both my phone and computer for this on Dec 17th. I encourage you to do the same, and to please spread this!
I know I only publish my drawings in this blog but this is very important.
