something that rly creeps me out…..occasionally ill see videos or articles for christians or christian missionaries that say something like “what you need to do is make friends with non christians and really get them to trust you and THEN you start preaching to them and bringing them to jesus” and that is….man how much would it hurt to know that the only reason someone’s hanging out with you is to convert you to a religion you were never interested in. maybe this is a real friend, someone you really really feel like you connect to, and all of a sudden you cant hang out with them without being scared they’ll bring out the jesus stuff.
this guys videos are fucking incredible i really want everyone to watch them
this man is like midas but with knives instead of gold, he can make anything a knife, sicssor knives ,ice knives, cardboard knives, tiny knives if it can be made into a knife he will do it, and if he cant, he will do it anyway because fuck you
This doesn’t even have the best one. One time he made a knife out of ravioli then proceeded to use the knife made out of ravioli to cut up cheese and tomatoes and basil and shit then took the ravioli knife that he had used to cut up his other ingredients and cooked said knife with those ingredients and ate the fucking knife!
The empty fridge that only contains Jack Daniels Chocolate
That one time a bear figurine possessed with a demon would attack him if he didn’t pet it so he had to build a machine that constantly rolled the bear against brushes so he would be safe long enough to finish the knife
The Tumblr Purge has it’s own fanlore page now which I think offers a good overview of what’s currently going on, with cited sources throughout the article (worth looking at imho). It also talks about rumours and unconfirmed things.
Finally, here is tumblr’s help site of how to backup your blog,which I strongly recommend everyone to do. Due to the fact that we have zero communication from tumblr we currently don’t know how things will proceed, but there are some decisions made that seem to indicate that tumblrs policies towards certain types of nsfw content or even nsfw content as a whole might change. It might be a bug and blow over – or it might not.
Be safe. Back up what you can.
Be aware that this might take a while and result in huge files. My main blog has over 14 000 posts and I ended up with a 26GB zip file. That’s not including my nsfw side blog, I had to do that one extra. Make sure you have enough space and time to archive your stuff. You may have to wait a few hours for the zip file to even be made ready for download. This is normal. You will receive an email once it’s ready to be downloaded.
If you cannot do an actual backup for any reason, I recommend you to save at least some of the posts you consider most important to you manually. It’s work, but it’s better than losing everything.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with people, remember to post alternative ways to contact you and look for the handles of others. Get in touch now while it’s still easy. If it blows over you don’t lose anything but a few minutes of your time for having done so. If it doesn’t blow over, it can be one of the only ways to get in touch.
Remember that fandom has been chased off and targeted before. Geocities going down. Private fic archives getting deleted. The fall of delicious. Chatrooms getting zapped. Forums pulled out from underneath us. Blogging services kicking us out. Strikethrough. It sucks, but we survived then, we will survive it again. Keep calm, preserve whatever you can, and brace yourselves. Hopefully, it will work out.
If not and it all goes down in flames, we’ll rise from the ashes as we always have.
I thought this was important. Back up your blogs just in case; I know I’ll be doing that this weekend.
I’m sure most of you have noticed the “undertail” tag is gone from search now. I know that the theory is that Safe Mode is permanently on or something, but mine says it’s turned off. So I think what they mean by this is that all nsfw tags aren’t currently searchable. And not just the main search; you can’t even search someone’s blog for that tag.
While this is going on, remember that reblogs are important because things really aren’t showing up for people now, so it’s difficult to spread content otherwise.
