Okay guys, if your blog is muted, posts not in the right order, here’s how to fix it.
You’ve gotta be on desktop for this to work.
1. Go to your blog page (tumblr.com/blog/your-url)
2. Click on mass post editor:
3. Go through and select every post from this month. You can only select 100 at a time, so make sure to remember where you got to in each block (I took pictures of my screen so I made sure i did them all)
4. Click “add tags” and choose a tag to add to every post. Doesn’t matter what but preferably something you don’t think will already be on a post. Mine was #yikes.
5. Add the tag and wait for it to confirm. Then ‘unselect’ the posts and resume until you reach November. This should resolve the issue and let other people see your new posts!!
Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.
Listen. I want to tell you guys about the Dollar Tree. If you ever need to rebuild your life fast, you want a dollar tree. Everything in a dollar tree costs one dollar. No exceptions. Nothing has a price tag. Everything is one dollar.
This is Dollar Tree not Dollar General.
Dollar Tree looks like this:
Their stuff is off-brand but decent quality.
Here are some things you can buy at the dollar tree for one dollar:
– any kind of makeup- foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, etc
Basically? If you ever get kicked out of your house or find yourself with a couple bucks and nothing else, get thee to a dollar tree.
All the dollar tree stores I have been in have some sort of medical aisle too. Its actually where I went first when my tooth broke for some off brand orajel (Works much faster and better than orajel imo, longer too if you put it on a cotton ball and keep it in the area) And sometimes even emergency temp tooth repair kits, which are at least $7 elsewhere. Dollar tree is a miracle.
I love Dollar Tree. When I first moved out this place saved me.
Every 20-something individual needs a Dollar Tree nearby.
Dollar Tree also sells PREGNANCY TESTS and yes they work! Go in and buy like 5 of them, don’t spend $25 on three at CVS, not worth your money and honestly has saved me TONS of anxiety.
Dollar Tree also takes EBT. I nearly cried when I discovered that, because of my strict dietary needs.
Dollar Tree is good for greeting cards, as well. Don’t have a lot of money?
No problem!
They have a 50¢ section and a $1 section!
They literally have EVERY candy you’d get at a theater too, and way more. Their snack row is to DIE FOR.
Also–college kids! When my roommate stole all of my forks and bowls and then moved out unannounced in the middle of my freshman year, I went straight to Dollar Tree and got 2 packs of forks (each pack is 4 forks) for $1 each and some cute bowls that are still my favorite bowls in the house. Not only is their silverware sturdy, but their plates and bowls are really cute.
A few dollar tree stores near me have even added a cold foods section! So check your local Dollar Tree for a $1 bag of frozen chicken nuggets and get yourself a meal!
The Dollar Tree actually has quite a few name brand products now too!
Second, this means any poor person with a phone and the new Burger King app can literally get food for a penny just by going to McDonalds, which is probably a goddamn lifesaver if you’re regularly worried about where your next meal is coming from
An open letter to Tumblr @staff@support regarding fandom censorship
In lumping film and television media into the same category as p*rn you are essentially saying that any form of nudity (even non-sexual), sensuality, intimacy, or love-making is intrinsically *bad* and subject to possible censorship.
You’re saying that respected, and often award winning film makers; the actors and actresses involved; film crews and everyone else working on it; plus any TV station or film company who goes on to distribute this work is peddling p*rn and that we, as an audience, should be ashamed of watching it.
You’re saying that these same respected artists’ work is somehow dirty and should be hidden away.
You’re saying that any form of naked skin or show of affection is subject to possible censorship. That anyone under the age of 18 should never have access to this sort of material. That consensual, loving affection and the human body is something to be hidden away. Yet the vast majority of tv shows and films that I make gifs and edits from are rated PG or 12A here in the UK. Some are rated 15. NONE of my content is rated 18.
You’re basically saying that a 15, 16 and 17 year old should no longer have access to this material – material that actually offers a much more realistic view of relationships than any p*rn could.
**Newsflash** They CAN and they DO. Many of them actually post this content themselves!
It’s not Tumblr’s job to parent these young adults. Of course there should be safeguards in place, on any site. But it’s not fair to penalise an entire site because you can’t set up an effective safeguarding infrastructure for minors. Sort out your safe search and, or limit/tier the age of audiences.
Furthermore. You try to justify your decision by saying one of the reasons is to tackle the overwhelming amount of p*rn on the site. The problem with that, Tumblr staff, is that you allowed it! You made money from it. Your advertising revenues – and let’s be transparent here because that is the only thing you care about – profited from the footfall that came along with the p*rn blogs. You’ve ignored the much more troublesome and vile factions on this site, allowing them instead to flourish simply because either: a) you genuinely don’t care; or b) you haven’t invested in the technology and manpower needed to eradicate the threat.
Now I personally have no problem with any consenting adults doing whatever they want on this site, providing they stay in their lane.
Your decision to now turn this site into a highly censored space is nothing more than a cynical knee jerk reaction to Apple calling you out on the problems you’ve long since swept under the carpet. Things that your community have been begging you to fix for years. And yes, it boils down to money again.
But what about the innocent users you are punishing for your own ineptitude?
To be clear. I’m not here for p*rn. I’m here because I found a sanctuary from my debilitating illness. I found a like-minded community of amazing, creative people who just so happen to also enjoy a particular actor’s work and his positive attitude to life.
Many users on this site are house bound or isolated in one way or another. Many suffer from anxiety, depression and other illnesses. Many are marginalised in society and have no other way of communicating with people who ‘get them’. Tumblr has, historically, been a place for these people to come together as a community.
It has also been a place where many fandoms flourished. Tumblr is a haven for fans to create art, writing, images, videos and gifs in celebration of the things they are passionate about. These passions often have a positive impact on these fans lives. Of course, there can be dramas. That’s not isolated to this site. But ultimately Tumblr has been a safe space for many people to communicate with others around the world and make long-lasting friendships.
Your blanket censorship is going to seriously affect this. People are running scared. They’re leaving in droves.
Finally, if you think for one second that this puritanical purge will eradicate the spam p*rn bots, you’re deluded. How are you intending to achieve this when these bots don’t even post nsfw material? They simply reblog legitimate, sfw posts and delete captions only to insert their own insidious links? Your community guidelines state that explicit language will not be censored.
In short, there is literally NO rational argument for this ridiculous change, other than that you are putting revenue before the established communities on this site, and we will NOT go quietly into the night.
To fandoms on Tumblr (regardless of what that is), please share this far and wide.
WISE and SMART speaking.
Ce n’est pas du ressort de Tumblr de remplir le rôle de parent et de garde-fou. D’autant plus que ces censures sont ridicules parce qu’un ado peut trouver des milliers de photos et de vidéos pornographiques en un quart de seconde via Google. Je me fiche de la présence de blogs porno sur Tumblr, chacun son créneau. Mais la chasse aux sorcières affecte n’importe quel blogger pour peu qu’il poste 5 cm de peau dénudée.
Évidemment que Tumblr essaie de rattraper le tir après être devenu la risée de l’app store. Les pieds nickelés doivent être aux commandes parce que c’est de mal en pis.
Je suis offensée en tant qu’adulte qu’on m’interdise de poster un bras, un sourire, un mamelon, parce qu’un enfant peut éventuellement passer par là. Je suis offensée en tant que gif maker qu’on m’interdise de partager des moments choisis d’une interview ou de films qui sont aux antipodes du milieu porno.
