Tumblr has made and official statement on twitter about what’s going on:
We’re 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. We’re 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 didn’t 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.
Baelor “the Blessed” was a disgusting creep that locked his three sisters away for ten years so he wouldn’t be tempted by their looks.
Daena “the Defiant” only wanted to escape her confinement but was instead labeled as a miscreant and subsequently passed over for succession to the throne.
The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly.
The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.
Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing, this picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. The Elephant’s Foot is almost as if it is a living creature.
Friendly reminder that this blob of core material was so hot and dense, it melted/burned through three floors of the building before coming to rest in the lowest basement.
And there’s now a unique species of black mold that feeds off the gamma radiation it produces.
Is no one else seriously freaked out by that mold? No? Just me, then?

we make fun of thorin getting lost in the shire but you know the nazgul also had to keep asking for directions to find bag end so maybe hobbits’ city planning is just wack
Now I’m thinking about hobbits living in an almost Labyrinth-esque Shire, where the roads & paths frequently change behind you. It’s a matter of the plants growing instantly over what was a road just a second ago (rather than gremlins living under the cobblestones), but because they’re all attuned to the plant-magic in the region, hobbits can always find their way (or possibly can even harness & control it, so as to keep their gardens looking the way they like, rather than having a new configuration spring up every day) and don’t see this as any problem, nor do they understand why outsiders keep complaining about how difficult it is to find their way in the Shire. Gandalf is either able to navigate the magic too, or he just blasts his way through the walls of vines & flowers to get wherever he’s going.
Also: maybe this area between the rivers was already kinda cursed like this, which was why the King of Arnor so happily gifted it to the hobbits when they first wandered in from the east looking for a place to settle 😀
