This is such a load of bullshit

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, we’re 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, we’ve 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. We’ve 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, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve 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 we’ve 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 what’s 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 won’t 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. We’re 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 we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re 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 it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Just finished making the crowne I'm going to wear with my Primarina cosplay!!! When it comes to making things like this I am not the best, but I wanted to try my hand at making a crown. I was so nervous that I wouldn't like the final result, but I love it!!!! Maybe I'll try my hand at making more headpieces for some upcoming cosplays 🤔🤔 Now on to styling the wig!

WAKANDA FOREVER!!!!

Nakia - Black Panther (ECCC)

It took two and a half months, lots of sleepless nights (including one in the con hotel), and some last minute alterations but Nakia (v1) made it to ECCC. I have a bit left to do before she’s done (the beadwork is actually puff paint - yay improvising). So taking a break on this project to work on stuff for Sakuracon and then I plan to finish my beading and some additional detail work before I take her to Rose City in September.

Wakanda Forever!

Hello! I just found your blog today, I love your Sailor Mercury cosplay so much! If it's not too much trouble, do you know where you got your wig for that cosplay? Or better yet, the seller and color? I know I buy wigs from different places all the time, so no worries if you can't find it. Thanks :)

Oh thank you so much u///u. And I ordered this wig from Arda Wigs. Its there Jaguar Classic wig in Indigo Blue

the most absurd part of the Shea Moisture scandal

Shea Moisture put a white woman complaining about “hair hate” in their commercial. Black women literally get expelled, fired, not even hired for wearing their hair natural. Her example of “hair hate” was being a redhead and so she changed her hair to blonde. I know we’re dragging them for this ad but that part of the commercial (for me) was the most absurd.

The war on drugs is rooted in racist policies . The failure of the war and drugs is obvious. We need to find a better solution, because people of color should never be the victims of racist policies. White Americans are more likely than black Americans to have used most kinds of illegal drugs, including cocaine and LSD. Yet blacks are far more likely to go to prison for marijuana, which is not a hard drug. Moreover , even when white people get caught , they get less time in prison.

A white kid with a bowl cut scares me more than a Syrian refugee fleeing war for a better life.
