I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Crab Day!!!

Where:

Here on Tumblr!!

What:

Buy crabs!

Why:

As we now know, Tumblr is $30 million dollars in debt. Oops. Tumblr has announced some major (and unpopular) changes to the site in their attempt to get back above water. The alternative is that Tumblr ceases to exist. But maybe we can change that...

How:

There are 327 million unique tumblr visits per month, and almost 500 million active accounts. If 10 million unique users (or less, if we bought more than one) bought or gifted Crabs from the Tumblr store, we could knock out Tumblr's debt easily. Buy crabs!

When:

July 29, 2023 is Crab Day, running through August 5 (for anyone who can't log on that day) as Crab Week!

Who:

Everyone!! If you truly can't afford to participate with a $3 crab, (or other item from the shop) post crab memes!

Time for Tumblr users to rise again and surprise everyone...

You’re right! Steven is definitely larger in the second image.

Okay so after watching the new SU Future episodes I have a new theory; Steven will leave Beach City at the end of the series.

There’s some possible foreshadowing going on. Each episode now begins with a view from inside Steven’s car with Beach City and the Temple reflected in the rear view mirror. The outro continues this theme with the car passing by Beach City and the Temple. There is purposeful movement in both these sequences. The first person POV in the title card places us the viewers in the driver’s seat. We are going forward into the unknown with familiar images from the past either passing by or disappearing into the sunset. We are symbolically Steven traveling away from the past and towards the future.

Contrast this with the main title card and outro of the previous series. They’re much more passive sequences. The background remains stationary and the animation is limited to the weather and objects being moved by forces of nature. Laundry flutters on the clothesline, clouds pass over the ocean, grass rustles in the breeze, etc. Sometimes the colors change with the light, sometimes there is rain or snow. The POV keeps us grounded in the same spot while things happen around us. We have no power, much like Steven himself was during that time.

It’s no coincidence that driving a car features so prominently in SU Future. The story takes place when Steven has matured and gained greater power and agency. He has changed the world around him and in many ways he has changed as well, but as we’ve seen in these first four episodes there is still much growing for him to do. Beach City is not the same place it was years ago, and Steven is not the same Steven he once was, but being in the same place all his life is ultimately hindering his growth. Leaving home and starting a new life elsewhere is an important rite of passage from childhood to adulthood. He’s outgrowing his old home, like a baby bird that’s grown too big for the nest and needs to learn how to fly.

In closing, the lyrics of the new ending song are very meaningful for Steven. “Just a little time, just a little something else instead.” Steven has devoted his life to one cause that is all but resolved. Perhaps now he’ll finally get something else instead.
