Please submit all endangered Tumblrs you care about in this form.  Also please spread the message.

Hello Tumblr users,

we are the Archive Team, the Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers,
writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage. Since
2009 this variant force of nature has caught wind of shutdowns,
shutoffs, mergers, and plain old deletions – and done our best to save
the history before it’s lost forever. We already worked on other Yahoo related projects like GeoCities and Flickr.

You can learn more about us under https://archiveteam.org/.

We plan to save many as many of the endangered blogs as possible. To do that we take multiple approaches.

  1. We use or scan of Tumblr we did in April 2018
  2. Some guys are working on an AI solution to detect endangered pictures
  3. We look for tags manually

But just us looking is not enough. You know Tumblr better than us.

Submit your favorite endangered Tumblrs here. That way we can be sure not miss them and put them in front of our queue.

If you have technical knowledge join us via IRC chat.efnet.org:9090/?channels=%23tumbledown

I was asked to signal boost this.  You can also check out the Archive Team site and their page about Tumblr to learn more about who comprises the team, their mission & past sites they’ve archived, and their approach for Tumblr. 

Note that what they’re asking for is URLs of blogs (your own or other people’s) that you want to make sure get archived.

So why is one considered ‘inappropriate’ and the other accepted? Stop sexualising my body. 

I wonder this too. Why is it a man’s breast and nipple are okay to show but a woman’s breast and nipple isn’t.

fave wow

best thing to reblog yet

it’s funny because every time I reblog this I lose at least one follower who seems offended by a nipple

I love this

Hey. I don’t give a shit about what anyone likes in fiction or roleplay. I care about how they treat people in real life, especially when they could get away with things with no consequences.

On that note? Some of the nicest, most considerate, most conscientious people I know are the ones who like super dark fiction. They’re aware, from a combination of reading and personal experience, just what horrors people are capable of, and that’s why they treat other people with respect, because they don’t want reality to turn into that any more than it has to.

Meanwhile, the ones who think that fictional taste is equivalent to real morality and that thinking about or imagining a thing is equivalent to reality are the meanest, most abusive, most vitriolic, dangerous people I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet. But it only matters if you read the approved things and shun the problematic ones, right?

It’s a lot easier to enforce a canon of good and bad literature than it is to do right by your fellow human beings. One cannot be allowed to become a substitute for the other. Be kind to people. Life is too short to waste time being pointlessly mean.
