⚠️ TUMBLR SCAM WARNING!!! ⚠️

Just a heads up in case anyone else receives a similar message.

I was recently contacted by someone claiming they had mistakenly reported my account because they believed I was involved in a scam. They later shared a screenshot of what appeared to be a Tumblr support email featuring my username and profile picture.

After looking into it and contacting Tumblr Support, this appears to be a known phishing scam that Tumblr is already aware of.

The scam may involve:

Someone claiming they accidentally reported your account

Screenshots of fake Tumblr emails showing your username/blog

Claims that your account is under investigation, at risk of deletion, or needs to be "verified"

Requests to contact a supposed Tumblr support agent, often on Discord or another platform

If you receive a message like this, please be cautious and do not provide your login information or contact unofficial support accounts.

In my case, another mutual received the exact same message from the same user, which suggests the account may have been compromised and is being used to spread the scam.

If you're unsure whether a message is legitimate, contact Tumblr Support directly through official channels.

Please reblog even if this hasn't happened to you. A mutual and I encountered the same scam account, so there are likely more people receiving these messages.

Please reblog to help spread awareness. Stay safe, everyone. ❤️

Thank you for sharing!!

For sure it makes me think about how this is even necessary. There's no need for a book called "How To Draw White Women". It's just "drawing". The fact that we need a specific one... Really makes you think. Nonetheless, I'm happy it exists!

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

Defining Rumination

How to Stop Ruminating

ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination

What to Do When You're Triggered

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!
