For those unaware because staff isn’t saying it

Tumblr was deemed too full of inappropriate content to be allowed to be downloaded from the app store.

It has this “inappropriate” problem because of rampant porn ad bot accounts. The old solutions were bots to detect image sets with nsfw content, the automatically enabled safe mode, tag filtering for mobile, and wide takedowns of nsfw bots based on words used (that’s why their messages are full of numbers and symbols, to evade this)

Tumblr released their own bot supposedly capable of wiping the ad bots, but it’s taking down many popular blogs, possibly due to sheer amounts of posting or sheer amounts of ad bots in their notes. This bot was likely rushed to be put out.

You are more likely to be accidentally flagged if you post external links, as well. If your acct is taken down you CAN get it back, but it’s a pain. E-mail tumblr support for help with this. It takes down side blogs with the main ones.

I’ll be halting posts for about a week or until this problem is fixed.

Don’t ship real people. They’re not characters, they’re not your public property no matter how famous. They are REAL HUMAN BEINGS. Don’t be a creep.

-waikiki was once a taro patch that fed all the native hawaiians on that side of the island.

-oahus current population numbers were once all native hawaiians. Now they comprise less than 5% of it.

-native hawaiians comprise less than 15% of the total population of hawaii but are most of the homeless and well over half the prison populace over non-violent petty offenses.

-native hawaiians have the lowest life expectancy, lowest income and least chances for education out of damn near all ethnic groups in the u.s.

-hawaii is stolen.

When I began working on my undergrad honors thesis last year, some of the best writing advice my adviser gave me actually ended up not being about my writing at all.

She told me, as part of the 10-12 hours I was supposed to work on the project per week, to include the times I found myself just thinking about it. Whether I was going for a walk. Eating lunch. Taking a shower. Falling asleep. Whatever.

Because the times you spend thinking about your writing, even if you don’t put a word on the page or computer, still count. They are an important part of the writing process. So if you question your status as a writer somedays because you haven’t gotten any words down for however long, just remember that thinking about and planning your projects mentally is all part of the process.
