Updates to Tumblr’s Community Guidelines

Today we announced some big updates to our Community Guidelines and what kind of content is permitted on Tumblr. Adult content will no longer be allowed here. While we do not judge anyone for their desire to post, engage with, or view this stuff, it is time for us to change our relationship with it.

We expect you may have some questions on how this will affect you, and we’re here to make sure those questions get answered.

When does the new policy take effect?

Our new Community Guidelines will go into effect on December 17, 2018.

Newly uploaded content flagged as adult will no longer be allowed on Tumblr. We’ll also begin flagging and removing existing adult content with the ultimate goal of removing as much of it as we can.

What is considered adult content?

Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.

What is still permitted?

Examples of exceptions that are still permitted are exposed female-presenting nipples in connection with breastfeeding, birth or after-birth moments, and health-related situations, such as post-mastectomy or gender confirmation surgery. Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations, are also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr.

“The Precious Stones” series depicted women personified as four precious stones. In each panel, the upper part of the composition is dominated by the female figure, while the lower part features a flower whose color echoed that of the gemstone. The color scheme of each panel - including the flowing robes, the hair decorations, the mosaic halos and even the colour of the woman’s eyes – recalls the color of the stone.

George William Kyeyune (Ugandan, born 1962), Nude, 2003

George Kyeyune is a painter and sculptor whose works display perceptive observations of everyday moments and people.

Kyeyune graduated from the Margaret Trowell School of Fine Arts, Kampala in 1985. He then travelled to India where he achieved an MFA, specializing in Sculpture, from the Maharaja Sayajiraho University of Baroda. The 3 years that he spent in Gujurat were transformative to Kyeyune’s artistic practice; through looking at the Indian religions and art forms which survived colonialism he was encouraged to question his own cultural inheritance.

On returning to Kampala, Kyeyune re-joined the Margaret Trowell School of Fine Arts, teaching Sculpture. He continued his own practice, sculpting and exhibiting widely in Kampala, and in 1996 he returned also to painting. In 1999 he received a scholarship for a doctoral study in History of African Art at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London.

Dark Ink Pen Illustrations Depict Animals And Nature In Magical Lore 

Italy-based illustrator Alfred Basha draws small black ink pen scenes that narrate scenes of animals and nature as a magical entity. His poetic illustrations are brought to life with the expert use of the humble ink pen.  He uses the crude tool to draw enchanting scenes which depict delicate branches forming the silhouette of animals, plants growing from the anatomy of foxes and deer, and landscapes encased within wild beasts.
