The Mentally Ill Closetfur

It is very malice to meet you :)

[ichoruslives]

It appears that tumblr has issued its ultimatum regarding nsfw content. I have bore witness to things terrible, weird, and beautiful here. Some of these things were painful to watch, but I would never wish the memories away. Since this content, both tasteful and not, has sort of become a good chunk of why I use this site, I’ll issue my own ultimatum.

I’ll leave tumblr once it is done. I don’t believe I am alone. If there is one thing that tumblr and the internet has taught me, it is this. I like to think of myself as an outlier who is indicative that things have gone too far. I don’t know what future that tumblr has planned, but I hope they’ve thought this through and understand what they’ve sown.

Tumblr's new NSFW restrictions and why turning off safe mode won't work

So I’ve been doing some reading and wow. Just fucking WOW.

Tumblr, you’ve actually outdone yourself here. All the bullshit cookies for you!

Lowdown:

Tumblr’s new approach to NSFW content (other than blocking certain tags on apps) includes splitting the NSFW blog flagging options in two.

You can now flag your blog* as NSFW or Adult.

What’s the difference? This:

Taken from Tumblr’s new NSFW policy page.

Now me? I’m a NSFW blog. I occasionally reblog raunchy fanart and pretty pictures of scantily clad hot people. This means that:

If people are browsing in Safe Mode (which is the default, CHEERS TUMBLR) and are not following me they will see nothing of mine in the search or tags.

Let me be clear: NOTHING OF MINE.

My whole blog is flagged as NSFW even though I mostly reblog stupid comics of tv characters failing to use stairs. So for every one NSFW post I have that these Safe Mode users don’t want to see, they’ll miss the nine other posts I make about werewolves in pink knitted sweaters.

Pretty shit huh? Oh wait, bro, it gets better.

That’s blogs flagged NSFW. Blogs flagged Adult have it INFINITELY shittier.

Porn-intensive blogs have ZERO visibility beyond the dash. Unless a user is following them, they are invisible. Even reblogs are tetchy because with the new restrictions, anyone reblogging NSFW content runs the risk of being flagged as NSFW themselves and thus might not take the risk.

So porn blogs: crippled, basically. No dicks and o-faces for you, tumblr users. But how’s this for another, infinitely more terrifying, approach: all those sex-ed blogs? All those beautiful how-to-masturbation, body-positive and sex-positive blogs? Under the current definitions:

You guessed it: they’re Adult. If they’re not flagged as such by the blog owners themselves, tumblr can do it for you:

“If you’re not sure how you should flag your blog you can leave it unflagged, but keep in mind that it may be flagged automatically.” (x)

So there you have it.

Fuck. Basically. Everything.

PS: Anyone wanting to turn Safe Mode off (because hey, if you haven’t checked yours yet, it’s totally on! YAY!):

Hit your settings icon

In the left hand menu hit Dashboard

And uncheck the “browse tag pages in safe mode”

It’s nowhere near a complete solution, but it’s as much as we’ve got right now.

* Or I’m assuming you’ll be able to? This feature is greyed out for me atm. A+ rollout of functionality there, tumblr.

[fandomisreality]

i checked, and it does NOT have me automatically in safe mode. and i don’t remember ever unchecking it?

[ponyandpet]

I have thought something was wrong when I couldn’t find anything in the search results… I have disabled safe mode long ago.. but ever since the ‘cookie’ rule from EU and the following update from Tumblr everything has turned sour.. I can’t find anything anymore. I can’t find a fix..

[mxponysyn-deactivated20190620]

This must be why their search results have changed from no longer having that option to turn on and off 18+ content blogs 🤔🤔🤔

[grumpy-ass-fandom-old]

@theassholeantiarchive2-0 @romelle-against-antis @olderthannetfic @freedom-of-fanfic have you seen this bollocks?!

[crystallized-iron]

@puddingpong

[puddingpong1]

yep

nothing with nsfw/ nsfw related tags show up on the search

EVEN if you have safe search off 

how are we supposed to find anything, why does tumblr allow us to post nsfw and adult content if its not gonna reach anyone

[epicaistar]

To make things worse: Tumblr also randomly flags non-NSFW art as NSFW! Happened to me multiple times! Tumblr is a huge mess!

Tips for living alone

Buy a bat (I have my old color guard rifle) or similar. Keep it in your room/near your bed.

Get a lock for your bedroom door.

If you’re moving into a new place, change the locks. Who knows who had a key to your place before you.

Keep your phone/a phone in your room.

Get a weather alert system set up. App, weather call, little weather radio that tells you about major weather events.

Adopt a pet

Wave at your neighbors. Take note of the ones that make you uneasy. Watch out for kids always.

Be nice to your mail person. No matter what.

If you choose to drink/etc alone, unplug your wifi router. You’ll thank me.

Have extra seating. People sit when they visit. Your one comfy chair is great for you. Not so great for you + grandma + ur five cousins, your aunt, and a couple others.

Learn the self-Heimlich

When you take a shower, bring your phone to the bathroom in case you fall your phone is no longer halfway across the house, it’s just on your counter

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Idk what else

[thefisherqueen]

If you live in an one-room apartment, put a screen around your bed. It’ll feel less like you visit people, esp. strangers, into your bedroom. Also you’ll feel much safer sleeping in the enclosure. Cook enough for a few meals each time you cook, and freeze the extra food. That way you’ll prevent things from expiring and it’s great when you don’t feel like cooking or have no time or energy for it.

Give a key to someone near you trust, or hid it somewhere few people will look, like up in a tree. Shutting yourself out isn’t nice, esp. not at night. Put something translucent like curtains or stickers for windows where people can walk past or look in. You’ll feel less watched that way.

Put some contant money somewhere in your room. Good to have in case your bag gets lost or stolen. 

Feeling lonely? Remember, online contacts are not less valuable.

[art-is-blind-deactivated2019010]

I would say maybe set reminders for everything too. Taking meds/vitamins, working out, going to sleep, waking up.

[crewdlydrawn-deactivated2022072]

Buy a small fan for white noise at night if you’re the kind (like me) that gets anxious at all the little ambient noises that ANY building can supply in the dark. Don’t watch scary movies in the dark by yourself, with no visitors. NETFLIX, if you can afford it. It’s also useful because you can watch movies / shows with your online buddies at the same time, miles and states and (sometimes even) countries apart.

[tittily]

get an app like safetrek. never walk into allies or empty streets if there is a more populated/well-lit route to your destination. keep emergency contacts in your wallet and a red cross card with your blood type on it in case anything happens. carry a list of medications you’re allergic to, if any. 

walking around with a headset or headphones discourages people from yelling at you on the street, and it’s easier to escape from hasslers. however, it’s pretty advisable to not have anything actually playing so you can be aware of your surroundings. if anything, have it at low volume.

if you get grabbed on the street (this used to happen to me a lot), immediately scream, and the person will usually get startled, giving you time to get away. 

if you feel like you’re in a really bad place, call someone, or even pretend like you’re calling someone. say where you are. act like you’re planning on meeting up with them. be loud about it. make it seem like someone will notice if you go missing, even for a little bit.

also u should look up manufacturer’s coupons like damn i feel like a successful suburban mom every time i walk into cvs and save 2 dollars on my toothbrushes

Another XCOM-related commission because I’m getting way too excited for XCOM 2, featuring Auridakka and a friend’s Charr gunning down some ayys.  On a side note, I think that’s the fiercest expression Auri’s ever rocked.  I dig it.

Art is done by @dagossss, who does fantastic, exceptional work!

Greek myths are fucking great because their gods are so human. They argue, they fuck up at things, they make fun of each other, they piss each other off, it’s great, there’s so much human interaction and then Christianity comes in like that guy and is all like “oh my god is infallible and knows everything and immortal and everywhere at once and you can’t see it but its totally there and stronger than everything” shut the fuck up Christianity go take a writing class

[prismatic-bell]

did you just call the Christian god a Mary Sue
