A note from the Tumblr team

A few weeks ago, a small but higher-than-normal number of accounts were mistakenly suspended. The suspensions were quickly reversed, but our response wasn't good enough, and we want to say more.

We're sorry it took us this long to address this. Trust and safety issues are difficult to discuss publicly, and we can’t share details about specific individuals or how our systems work without exposing Tumblr to bad actors. But caution led us to say too little, too late.

We’ve heard from members of the trans community on Tumblr that they were disproportionately impacted, and that deserves a direct response. According to 3rd party researchers, Tumblr’s userbase has the highest proportion of LGBTQIA+ folks on social media, so it makes sense that when something goes wrong, those communities might feel that disproportionate impact.

One thing we want to emphasize is that we do not moderate people's identities. We moderate behavior. We know that identity shows up across a Tumblr profile in many ways, from followed topics to the flags people put in their bios, and more. However, these signals play no role in how our moderation systems make decisions. We monitor those systems for evidence of bias and take corrective action when we find it.

We understand that the communications sent to affected users, and our broader silence to the community, didn't meet the standard people expect from us. That feedback is fair, and we apologize. We've updated the messaging sent to people impacted by these incidents. We are also overhauling our process with a goal of responding to mistaken suspension appeals within 24 hours, and have instituted an ongoing internal review of how suspensions and appeals are handled.

Going forward, we're committed to finding a better balance: being more transparent with our community about issues that matter, even when we can't share everything.

Tumblr belongs to everyone. We take that seriously, and we intend to earn back your trust. We are not afraid to have tough discussions with you or make updates based on your feedback, though on occasion, it might take some time.

To the people whose accounts were affected, and to the members of our trans community who felt targeted: we are truly sorry.

this is meaningless corporate boilerplate. this issue has existed for years and in that time it has been plain to see for everyone that @staff both condones and actively facilitates the hostile & discriminatory atmosphere toward transfem users on this site. you have openly terminated users who've brought attention to this in the past. you have lied about this before. you are lying now.

@humans you are publishing this statement now because the ban wave to which your post refers was finally so blatant that it was noticed by the press, and because posts have been circulating calling for legal action and for official complaints of discrimination. nobody is fooled that you are addressing this for any other reason, and nobody is satisfied with your mealy-mouthed consultant-approved non-apology drivel. this post is a load of horse shit and everybody knows it. fuck you all.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

― Jamie Anderson

does staff still steal people's funny posts as inspiration for merch or would an attempt at psyoping them into making something with a hidden meaning be a fools errand

love House MD because House is the MAIN CHARACTER at that hospital and there's no attempt to hide this. as the viewer you are fully aware that those nurses in the elevator are just extras. the boss's entire schedule consists of yelling at him. the head of oncology would rather prescribe him controlled meds and flirt than practice oncology. his team's only desires are to fuck him and strangle him, often at the same time. every other doctor at the hospital might as well be a cardboard cutout.

the walls are glass, the better to see him through. he limps around, commits malpractice, and serves cunt.

long live mid-2000s TV.

Reblog to have something lgbt happen to you this summer

i see you are making a game(or want to)

i would like to propose a cult secret(like in night in the woods all that bs) i like cults:-{ )

funny you say that

me and my buddies who are attempting to write this have founded an animistic coven at the end of last year and are conjuring spirits through buried chicken eggs as i am writing this

simultaneously, a weird practice has opened this year - well, maybe not just weird, but definitely a cult. the practice is the daughter firm of a local optometrician family business and its 'healers' claim to be able to rid children of adhd, reading disabilities and ill posture by prescibing - I kid you not - 'magic glasses'. there's no actual explanation as to how these glasses work, only reassurance that they are highly scientific (although none of the team have finished university education in this field and no studies were cited when explaining it to lager audience). One of the people who claim to be healers we call 'avatar' cuz he used to shave his head 0.0mm and stand in the market place, arms held to his waist and palms turned upwards, soaking in the sun and waiting for people to notice him. he also stalked my friend and assaulted her boyfriend when he asked him to stop masturbating in front of her locked door. once he pulled a knife on a kid at the beach and had no better idea to come run to the autonomous youth centre down the road, where lots of punks and refugees hang out, resulting in 4 police vans rolling up on the property with sirens on and officers shouting and running about.

as if all that werent bad enough these people also appropriating a number of techniques from different cultures, including reiki and ayurveda, claiming they have rationalized them through - nonexistent - scientific methods.

so they are going to end up in the game, for sure. and we are going to curse them as soon as our spirits are aligned, well-fed and instructed. if the spirits dont work I'll put up five microwaves in a pentagram around their shop at night and turn them on high, filming the whole thing.
