Leaving Tumblr
I wonāt be party to this and will post up contact information as soon as Iām relocated. If anyone wants to reach me then please try discord DMs:Ā angelinblackink#5709Ā
This counts for all of the blogs I manage: @flaxinmalacheā @intoxication-wraā @theviperscove @blacksandsgrottoā @wow-workshopsā @zhellikmalacheā @ravenswitteā @intoxmonkeyā @undertakerdymasā @wra-farmers-unionā @liliesandlightā @knaveofknightsā @qualmemalacheā @xianxiao-wraā & @mundanemikeā
We at Piczel.tv are sad to see Tumblrās stance against NSFW artists, and would like to offer up our services as an alternative to Tumblrās arbitrary shadowbans, deletions, and general stupidity.
Weāre happy to host adult artists who are looking for a new place to call home, and are planning a few key upgrades and features.Ā
Effectively immediately though, our gallery upload size restriction has been removed, to be likely raised to 10MB in the near future for non-premium users. As always, we support image sets, and donāt compress anything. Firstly, for those that have been using tumblr as a portfolio, youāll need a way to download all of your art, if you donāt have backups somewhere else. We are planning a tool for Piczel.tv that will import zip files full of images, including titles and descriptions if we are able. Second, weāre planning the following upgrades to piczel in the coming weeks: 1. Bulk upload/import to your piczel.tv gallery 2. Gallery UI cleanup and improvements 3. Gallery performance improvements 4. Gallery comments with in line image and custom emote support 5. Site-wide PMs (in the vein of tumblr asks, but better) 6. Archive button for your piczel account Donāt forget to follow us on twitter, we may be deleted on the 17th with everyone else. Until then, weāll make posts here to keep everyone in the loop Please consider reblogging this to help artists in need.
Hi @staff
You know who is really into your new policy? You know who is showing up in my notes to defend you? Nazis. Shitty little white boy Nazis who are thrilled that youāre running off and alienating enormous swaths of your users.Ā
So youāre really doing a great job, and you can feel really proud of your employerās decisions. If youāre lucky, youāre going to make Tumblr as awesome for Nazis and their supporters as Twitter! GREAT WORK, TEAM!
Why blame Naziās when this is obviously moral-based censorship that has Christian roots? Naziās donāt care if we watch porn but theĀ āMass Moral High Groundā does. @tumblr you sold out on your users and you suck.
Oh thank goodness they flagged that fanart, cozy photo, and video of a cat, I woulda been traumatized otherwise. Goodness.
TUMBLR IS A WELL-RUN WEBSITE, GUYS.
@tumblr you suck

What is āadult content?ā
Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any contentāincluding photos, videos, GIFs and illustrationsāthat depicts sex acts.
Tumblr, you absolute shit show. You incredibly problematic cluster fuck.
Stop. Shaming. Female. Nipples.
In fact, stop shaming sexuality in general. Do not punish your users because you as a WHOLE ASS TEAM OF PEOPLE cannot keep inexcusable content off your site (IE pornbots, IE NSFW content with children).Ā
Target the Nazis. Target the Pedophiles. But a big olā fuck you for targeting perfectly legal, consensual sex and DOUBLE fuck you for targeting female bodies.Ā
AND. -deep inhale-
The entire language of your new terms of service is flimsy and vague at best, which means that you, the administrators have a whole lot of power to goĀ āEnh, yeah that doesnāt quite fit into our narrativeā which is bullshit.Ā Ā
Get your shit together, it isnāt aboutĀ āa bunch of horny people wanting their pornā it is much-much deeper than that.Ā
Another one bites the dust.
A better, more positive Tumblr
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, weāre proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, weāve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. Weāve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, weāre taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions). Ā
Letās first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with todayās policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. Weāve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and weāve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So whatās next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes wonāt happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. Weāre relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but weāve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, weāre going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions weāre making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what itās come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We wonāt always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

The Day that Changed it All
In the darkest night, who will stand with us? Who will champion us when we cannot champion ourselves?
Oct 24 started out just as any other day but quickly turned into a nightmare.
My mother has battled with depression, self doubt and crippling loss of self worth for a long time.
She came close to losing that battle when she lost control of her emotions and those feelings led to her taking over half a bottle of unknown pills. In those moments, she turned at first to anger then rage.
This will always be a painful moment, a scar upon the lives of our family, but it was not the darkest moment.
And this is why I feel her story NEEDS to be told.
The second I learned my mom had taken a large amount of an unknown substance, I forced her into the car rushing to seek aid at the place all of us turn to in such dire straits, the Emergency Room.
After relaying all I knew about a bottle of pills, which we believe consisted mainly of diltiazem, my mother was taken back into their trusted care.
Safely delivered, I felt I could shift my attention from the woman who gave me life, to that of my disabled father. Unable to walk, he was left behind in the rush for my mother. I only sought to collect him and return so both of us could be with her. I informed the receptionist of my intentions to be back as quickly as possible, and reassured my mother would be safe I rushed off to reunite my family during this struggle.
Upon returning to the Emergency Room, I was greeted with a sight that stunned me to my very core. My mother who was suppose to be receiving treatment was being escorted out in cuffs by officers. I was informed of my motherās refusal to change and of an altercation with a staff member in the less than ten minutes I had been gone.
The staff member accused my mother of grabbing their collar (my mother denies this). This incident was enough for those who could help her to abandon the woman in need. Her mental status unquestionably not sound and her actions not of the noble caring woman who loved her family.
Both my father and I found ourselves begging both the police and the hospital itself for help, seeking for an understanding that she was not well by any means and that every moment passing could be doing untold harm. Despite our pleas, the staff and officers ignoring any protest or challenges to what was right or wrong, my mother a US Air Force Veteran was discharged, dumped and refused life saving treatment.
No matter what we shared of the womanās sacrifice, the love she had given, the pain she had suffered it fell on deaf ears and was not taken into account. They only had fear and anger at a fifty one year old woman in cuffs. Ā All while she was tempting fate each second a treatment was delayed.
Our mindset shifted from how can they help, to where can she GET help and that was the last hope we had. Soon an agreement was made, with a punishment of a fine for disorderly conduct to be given and a required appearance in court the next day in return for release unto our custody.
From there we raced to the next Hospital, the closest ER to get her the help she had been Ā denied now for over and hour. Each moment in that car was more painful than I can explain in words, as I struggled to keep my mother awake knowing that should she pass out her body might give up.
I am happy to say she did make it, she got treatment and I am ETERNALLY grateful to the individuals at the other two hospitals who gave my mom back to me.
No matter what happens, I will do everything I can for her and for our family but I can not deny how horrible this was.
I do not understand how an Emergency room could refuse a life in danger. How police would not strive to get her treatment, and most of all how a Doctor who swore a oath would abandon a woman in such need.
How is this right? How is this allowed?
My hope is no one should ever face the nightmare we did that evening. No one should ever beg for a loved ones life.
This conversation needs to happen. Our veterans, our families, should not be treated in this manner. Only by talking about it, can we even begin a movement to fix the underlying issues in our healthcare system.
Thank you for reading our story.

Important about the TumblrĀ āPurgeā
Tumblr has made and official statement on twitter about whatās going on:
Weāre committed to helping build a safe online environment for all users, and we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse. As this is an industry-wide problem, we work collaboratively with our industry peers and partners like NCMEC to actively monitor content uploaded to the platform. Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database. We immediately removed this content. Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms. Weāre continuously assessing further steps we can take to improve and there is no higher priority for our team.
Please please please, for the love of everything, stop spreading fear in our community. They are not purging your blogs for having NSFW content. If your blog gets deleted and you didnāt have any of the above mentioned content, or something that could be percived as such, then please contact Tumblr Support to regain your blog. They can be contacted via the form here.
Please reblog so people stop spreading false information and cause unnecesary fear.
