If y’all were doubting the last post I reblogged –

I’ve had family and friends and strangers fight with me about this but the woman isn’t subtle about this. This isn’t up for debate. This is fact – Linda Sarsour is antisemitic. Get your facts straight.

(as usual, I asked for permission before posting)

Until staff comes forward and gives an answer as to what is happening, all assumptions and statements on what’s going on are rumors.

zedrin-maybe:

  • There are posts from 2016 that are being shared again about NSFW. I shouldn’t have to explain that those are no longer relevant.
  • There is a post from 3 days ago that the current sweep is being caused by a bug. This is not known if it is still relevant.
  • There are rumors that this is an attempt to purge pornbots, and legit blogs are getting caught in the crossfire. This has not been confirmed.
  • There are assumptions, again based on statements from 3 days ago, that this is in response to a legal matter regarding the IRA. Again, this has not been confirmed.
  • Until staff comes forward about the current events, nothing is confirmed as of yet. If you get purged, send staff a ticket, but until we get answers no one knows what is happening. Please stop spreading posts that do not have current sources.

yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,

PLUS THIS SCENE?

AND THIS????

I think I should start a “Gal Gadot is not pale” tag.

Because, holy shit, magazine covers do her dirty.

Home. Girl. Got. Melanin. Y’all.

F’real doe. She. Does. (Like, seriously.)

So much so that she looks like a completely different person without it.

(Don’t think I forgot how fandom bleached Regina so bad people forgot that Lana Parrilla is proudly Puerto Rican.)

Sorry. The hashtag should be #KeepBleachAwayFromBae5kForever.

For those unaware because staff isn’t saying it

Tumblr was deemed too full of inappropriate content to be allowed to be downloaded from the app store.

It has this “inappropriate” problem because of rampant porn ad bot accounts. The old solutions were bots to detect image sets with nsfw content, the automatically enabled safe mode, tag filtering for mobile, and wide takedowns of nsfw bots based on words used (that’s why their messages are full of numbers and symbols, to evade this)

Tumblr released their own bot supposedly capable of wiping the ad bots, but it’s taking down many popular blogs, possibly due to sheer amounts of posting or sheer amounts of ad bots in their notes. This bot was likely rushed to be put out.

You are more likely to be accidentally flagged if you post external links, as well. If your acct is taken down you CAN get it back, but it’s a pain. E-mail tumblr support for help with this. It takes down side blogs with the main ones.

I’ll be halting posts for about a week or until this problem is fixed.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.
