It’s Hanukkah and I’m getting asks like this which is nice. 🙂 anyway my paypal is transdragoning@gmail.com
You know it’s Hanukkah, I have been getting messages like this all day and becoming increasingly violent, I have hardly any food and I’m over 200 in the negative so I could keep light and heat on this cold December.
So once again my paypal is transdragoning@gmail.com if anyone wants to help me out
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
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.
A couple weeks ago, one of my best and closest friends Suu aka hyukmis on tumblr had a horrible oil burn accident happen to her which has caused her chest to receive 3rd degree burns and her arms 2nd degree burns. As of now, her left hand is free from bandages but the road to recovery is still a long one. Her mother who was also present during the accident had gotten a little burned on one of her arms as well and is also recovering. Because of where we live and what her insurance is (or isn’t) able to cover, she had to be flown down to Las Vegas to be given the proper treatment.
Even if you just gave this a reblog, it would mean everything to me. Donations are also of course greatly appreciated.
I was thinking hard about if I could make any kind of incentives, but I’ve also been so busy. I don’t think I could make a request for everyone who donates, but I could possibly make some kind of incentives via notes;
If this post gets 500 notes, I will make a thank you art piece of some kind;
If this post can reach 1,000 notes, I will update The Universe Will Die Without You with chapter 30!
If this post reaches 2,500 notes, I’ll update The Universe Will Die Without You again.
If this somehow reaches like 5,000+ I’ll do some kind of giveaway and update TUWDWY again??? (I don’t know ;v;)
I apologize for being away from social media for some time. I haven’t been myself lately, and it’s been really hard to get back into the groove of things. That being said, there’s no way I can completely abandon artwork completely.
Thank you all for understanding again any sharing/donations for her gofundme fundraiser is greately appreciated.
Thank you all so much to everyone who’s stuck by these past years

In case the link above doesn’t work, here’s it again down below.
Also, here is the link to sign an online petition to have this become the new theme 😂 even if it doesn’t come true I’d love to see how many votes we can get, we only need 100
I was on my way home from work and I was robbed and he took $450 from me (I know I’m fucking stupid for carrying that on me but I had just cashed my check that day) and this really fucking sucks because I was going to use that money to get medication and treatment for my dog that has been having seizures.
I already have ptsd from being fucking homeless and now this. I’m genuinely scared to go outside. If anyone can send me anything please I would appreciate or at least share this.
I don’t speak to my mother and I haven’t seen my dad since I was 7 its safe to say I don’t have any parents to help me through this

I don’t want anyone to think that I’m scamming them I not that type of person. If you want to know further into pls message me personally.
After crying my eyes out for the past hour, after realizing the situation I’m being put into, I’m literally forcing myself to write this. I’m struggling to ask for something I always thought I could avoid, and that’s needing help.
I’ve been living with my aunt and uncle for a couple years now, and I’m very grateful that they took me in after I graduated highschool, hell I’m also grateful to my othe uncle who let me sleep in his living room so I wouldn’t have to move to a different town with my mother. But my point is, my mother and her irresponsibility. She and my father are divorced, so my father has sent her child support for me and my sister. When I decided to continue school through college I needed the extended child support so I could afford going. Things recently have turn for the worse because my mother is having sticky fingers and not sending most of my money. My aunt and I for months now have been going to courts and lawyers to find a way to get the money sent differently, for now there’s nothing we can do unless my aunt signs off as my official guardian.
What my mother is doing to me is creating so much fucking stress for me by not sending me my child support. At this point I don’t have enough to go to school this year, or to even pay for my car that I need to get to work with. And Whatever is in my account gets sucked into my previous school loans. I’m currently training at my new job, and I won’t get more hours to earn me more money until that time is up, another month or so.
So I’m opening emergency commissions. I want to at least earn up to half of the tuition for just one semester at my college before getting the rest on a loan, that being $2,000′s Because i only work little hours I’ll be able to completely focus and dedicate my time on these commissions. Here is my chart.
