I'm not sure if this method still works but I'm sharing it anyway. I'll try it soon, it worked in 2018!

How to Backup your Tumblr
I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog*
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.
Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month)
2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog)
3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it)
4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not)
5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.

Honestly can't wait to be rid of the "hot desperate singles in your area" vibe of this bullshit.

In case you're wondering he's an actual Mayan mythological figure married to Hummingbird (Messenger/Deliverer of Stories, depending on myth.) He can take any of us in a fight, I promise. Don't believe me? Check your WIPS.
After Jaguar Night, Jaguar Quitze, Not Right Now, and Dark Jaguar die, [some heroes] go east and receive the gift of writing. Then they return and become great lords.
TL:DR; If procrastination dies we can write all the things and be kings.
There's a scary guy called the Not Right Now Man who saps your motivation to do tasks and he appears when you say his name

Not an expert, but the origin of this sounds like it might be O-Gah-Pah [Anglicized: Quapaw, Arkansas] which is a a Sioux(?) tribe.
However a lot of O-Gah-Pah descendants were kinda merged into the Cherokee tribe after trail of tears, so it wouldn't shock me to find that the Cherokee have this myth as well. I'm not sure the people to ask about it are even still alive today. Maybe a few elders in Vinita or Wagoner might know.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O
it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”
the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997
it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)
two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama
and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio
