@staff bring the boops back if even for a day please
anyone who sees this reblog it and tag @staff again so we can get their attention to bring the lovely boops back!
Boop Breakdown
Well, you did it. You booped. You booped all over your dashboard with reckless abandon, your finger gnashing away at the boop button, much like a lovely raccoon discovering a glorious half-eaten baked potato. A treasure was presented, and you knew you deserved it. You deserved to boop. Collectively, you booped 142,566,897 times. To repeat: one hundred forty-two million five hundred sixty-six thousand eight hundred ninety-seven boops were had on tumblr dot com the website and the app.
Specifically:
Normal boops: 119,204,929
Self boops: 12,645,652
Cat boops: 7,925,241
Super boops: 2,095,231
Mischievous, aka evil boops: 695,844
One particularly boopable Tumblr was booped a total of 874,212 times. To be so rich in boops is a blessing. The Tumblr that gave the most boops found it in their heart to bestow 127,073 boops upon those they found worthy.
Over 500,000 Tumblrs were booped and booped back in return. And for what? What would drive so many to boop? Does Tumblr yearn for the boop mines? Well, yes. And also the guts, the glory, the prestige, and, of course, the badges. Oh, how you worked for those badges:
Booper participants: 229,881
Booper enthusiasts: 85,548
Booper supers: 67,571
Hold your heads high, Tumblr. You booped until you couldn’t boop anymore. You created incredible fanart, invented a whole new genre of -sonas, and even created your own premium, high-end awards. It was noble, it was boop. We hope you boop yourself, and boop for boop. Boop, boop boop? Boop, boop. Boop boop boop, boop boop; Boop! Boop!
Boop,
Tumblr

Hi There 👋
As you might have noticed, we’re beta-testing something new: Tumblr Post+. What’s Post+? A big deal, for starters. Post+ is our new subscription feature that allows you to use our existing multi-media post form to create unique paid feeds or support other blogs by subscribing to theirs. Fear not, Tumblr will always be free to use, this is just a way to continue to empower unique voices and throw a little coin to your favorite artists, fanfic writers, or maybe even that one mashup Supernatural/Studyblr blog you’ve been following since 2016.
(3 a.m. infomercial voice) But wait, there’s more. We want to know every possible way we can make Post+ the best experience for you and your community. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Specifically, we want your thoughts on how you’d use a feature that provides a feed of exclusive posts on Tumblr. What would you like to see? Don’t be shy 👉👈. Get in touch. Do it often, if you like. We’re excited to hear your thoughts. And keep your eyes on this space (go ahead now, click follow ☝️). Teamwork makes the dream work, etc.
Witch Doctor from Terraria. To heal your body and your spirit. I never played it, but i like how he looks, so i did this art ^^
Artwork for my universe, featuring skilled draconian mage. New character design i have in mind, now on art. And more practice with backgrounds. I think, it will be one of most imprtant cities in draconian homeworld.

My duty is to heal the nature from it and thus preserve the Balance.” Art made for my friend Azura Thunderclaw

I'm Just A Bill: NCCWSL Day Two
"Stand up if you agree and stay seated if you disagree. Then we will pass microphones so you can share your side". NCCWSL has been challenging girls to speak up during this "Find Your Voice" session since 1991. A typical first group activity does not include discussing you view point on polarized topics in front of 500 some women. The packed ballroom was asked; Will a women become President within your lifetime, is College a confidence booster, and does society accept how you identify. None of these were leadership questions but questions some conference goers navigate on a daily bases. Attendees shared stories about their success going to college as a first generation student, being energized to learn by being involved in student government and taking a tally of how many students would like to run for President. I shared that women that are studying in degrees other than political science can run for President too.
Slowly we rolled to Capitol Hill following the view point sharing session. Led by a Representative from Connecticut we admired statues given to the Capitol Hill from each state, retired meeting rooms and historic paintings. Later we attended a panel featuring five women who have served as Chiefs of Staff on Capitol Hill; Margaux Matter, Kristin Nicholson, Betsy Hawkins, Rhonda Foxx, and Jenifer DeCasper. A Chief of Staff works for a representative to manage, communicate the representatives views, schedule, manage budgets and gate keeps what/ who is the representative's top priority. Here is some of the advice the Chiefs of Staff shared with us...
*There needs to be more women at Capitol Hill in order to accurately represent constituent population.
*Once you have crawled through the pipeline, which is clogged, work harder than everyone else.
*The most important thing you have is your integrity and reputation.
*Make your own luck by being observant, seizing opportunities and going above and beyond.
*If you want to run for office start thinking about money sources ASAP. Emily's list is a great funding resource. Find an experienced fundraiser who knows what resources to pull from.
*Put yourself where women are not. Ask for the tax, budget and defense portfolios to work on.
Following the stint at the Capitol we were graced by the presence and persistence of five amazing women: Cleopatra Campbell (long time defense attorney), Danielle Feinberg (Disney Pixar light animator), Roise Rios (43rd Treasurer of the United States, her signature is on all of the paper money), Amanda Nguyen (got Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights passed), and Crystal Valentine (one of the top 10 poets in the world). One of my favorite messages include "become memorable by not doing what everyone else is doing" following a story by Danielle about how she was the only 8th grader who took apart a lawn mower, put it back together and successfully use it to mow.
its funny how literally the only thing holding this website together is the fact that its kind of old fashioned and not tiktokky or algorithmy and now staff are trying to fuck that up
@writing-prompt-s where are you? All the prompts and stories I submitted are gone and I am incredibly upset
Hi guys, my account was wrongly marked as explicit so sorry if no one can see it, I have no idea why but it has and it's really frustrating me because Pinterest keeps wrongly flagging my pins as mature as well and it's really stressing me out
Edit: it's been sorted now I think
Anyone else absolutely annoyed with the onepiece ads? Seriously, its gettin a bit much.
but no yeah lets have the conversation:
"the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website" Excuse, shouldnt have bought the 'go nuts show nuts whatever' website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED
"we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we're hosted on" Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED
"we own the site we get to make the rules" Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED
"we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it" Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED

Uranus Banned from Tumblr???
That’s right folks. Under the new Tumblr guidelines all forms of pornography are now banned from this site. That includes the solar system’s butthole. From this point forward I am not going to be able to post any pictures of the 7th planet from the sun, because the planet is not considered child safe.
When this shocking development became known, we asked other members of the solar system what they thought about the new ban.
Obviously the Lunar community was the first to respond, feeling they would be targeted next. The moon had this to say.
Luna: “Uranus banned? They better not ban me next or I am going to moon the shit about them.”
After Luna’s statement, the president of the lunar community (Ganymede) made the following statement. “The Lunar Community does not condone any acts of obscenity. I apologize for Luna’s statement, she was been in rehab lately for her moon rock addiction. She might be a little temperamental about this new ban.”
While most of the solar system community condemned Tumblr for its new ban, interesting enough there was one supporter of the ban.
Pluto of the dwarf planet community recently spoke in support of the ban. When asked why he supported the ban, Pluto has this to say.
Pluto: While everyone is busy dealing with this Tumblr banning Uranus fiasco, I can now spend my time focusing on getting my revenge against the other planets for booting me out of the planet club, and they will be too busy to even notice it. “Evil Laugh”
More news will be posted on this story as it becomes available.
Next up: Tumblr banning bunny butts? Rabbits in revolt!
Not space related, but wanted to see what my space engine followers thought of this question. Hoping to get some good memes out of it.
Shark Question
Are male sharks now going to be banned if their claspers are visible? Also are female sharks with scars on their face going to be banned since that can be considered sexual abuse by a male shark?
I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
Tumblr Changes - My Thoughts
I know this post is not about space and astronomy, but I wanted to voice my thoughts about the upcoming ban on Tumblr and how the automatic algorithms are going to affect everyone on there.
First off, I do not post or follow any NFSW Tumblr, so the primary ban does not affect either my Space Engine Tumblr or Rabbit and Shark Tumblr or other Tumblr’s that I follow in that regard, but the algorithms Tumblr has created are already beginning to affect my space engine posts. I mean seriously, how are my pictures of planets, alien landscapes and nebulas being flagged as adult material?
I understand that there are nearly 450 million users on here, but Tumblr has just 400 or so employees and for their employees to go through perhaps billions of images is not practical so they had to write a program to do the work for them. Auto-flagging images however, is a major problem for us non-NFSW Tumblrs, and we are only just now seeing the start of this problem. Eventually it is going to get to the point that we all have to wait weeks even months for our “sensitive marked” pictures to be marked as safe, since an actual person will have to review it.
Final conclusion. This ban and the way it is being implemented is a bad idea, and to be honest I also think an assault on free speech. More importantly, Tumblr better fix its auto-identification programs before a lot of us leave out of frustration when pictures of planets, rabbits, and sharks are all marked as adult.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND REPOST.
