Buh-bye Tumblr

I’ve never really been into the blog kind of thing. I don’t really browse a lot of other Tumblr blogs. This blog really is just a copy of what I post on Instagram. Pictures with a small story, hopefully interesting.

However, as I was reviewing my account settings, I discovered I had a blocked post. Really? It turns out one image of my Dad eating at a restaurant was flagged as adult content that violated community guidelines. Seriously? I guess this is what happens when inept developers try to implement AI to police the internet. Well done, Tumblr developers. Well done. While I have appealed the ban of the picture of my frail, 82-year-old father, taken just 4 months before he died and precious to me for the moment it captured, it really is pointless. I shouldn’t have had to appeal.

I realize now that the Tumblr owners/management/rule-makers have jumped the shark. I have heard that Tumblr usage has been declining. It makes sense. You get the wrong people in charge making the wrong rules and nobody wants to play with them anymore. Time to pick up our marbles and head home.

So I will decouple my Instagram from Tumblr and no longer contribute.

Good-bye cruel world!

While Adrian Monk would have preferred an even $100, I'm just impressed that I got out of Costco with a whole dollar amount. That almost never happens! #Monk (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzaH-CF6Tv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Picked a bunch of blackberries in the garden. Dad had an ice cream maker with (surprise!) a recipe for blackberry sorbet. So I mixed it up, poured it in, and watched it thicken as it chilled. It also expanded to a quart and a half. Now I'm ready for a cold dessert in this hot summer weather. (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSidtwlzrQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well here's a cheerful little alert. Rotating outages due to the excessive heat. Outside temps are about 114. #fml (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKtgMclGTT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Baby photos! At my first photo shoot, age 2. Look at that blond hair. Those baby blue eyes. Why, oh why did I have to grow up? (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRFGylalMC6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Gave my parents some flowers for their anniversary today (at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery Support Committee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ114BTlgnA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not sure what these are. One seems like a scraper. The other a socket to hold something or groove something. Found them in my Dad's kitchen stuff. Does anybody have any ideas? https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXDy4tlvdf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Father's Day to the most compassionate, generous, loving man that I have ever known. I thank you for every thing you did for me. I love and miss you Dad. #fathersday (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWGYuNlP4C/?utm_medium=tumblr

They said it would happen on the news. Did they have to be right? 111 degrees. Please A/C, don't fail me now! 😮😵🙄 (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQPKYCSFSAW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Trenching for irrigation today. It would probably go faster without all the damned roots. 🤬 (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPdsRjPlCZZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love how these guys start work across the street at 7 am on a Saturday. If my poor neighbor in the house on the right needs to go anywhere, I hope he has a bicycle. In a fight between his car in the driveway and that cement mixer, my money is on the big truck. 🤨 (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPdchnLlZwv/?utm_medium=tumblr
