What if I keep pushing and pushing but I hit a wall and I can’t figure out what I want anymore?

What if I gave up on some level a long time ago and am only realising now?

What if I persisted anyway?

What if I kept going?

What if I didn’t actually give up?

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Invitation: Making Queer History in 2024

The urgency around learning and uncovering queer history feels more present than ever. Queer stories are being suppressed globally, and much of that includes the queer community's long legacy. It is easier to erase a group of people when they are unaware of their roots. That's why in 2024, we are inviting everyone to make an active choice to learn more about queer history. That can look different for different people, but here are some suggestions:

Read queer books, there is a reason queer books are being banned. They are powerful tools to connect community, use them. Read them, request them from your library, support queer authors in these uncertain times. (The masterlist linked is an affiliate link)

Follow queer accounts on social media, if possible, social media is a regularity in many of our lives, and it's a great way to keep queerness and queer history present in your mind. Our social media are here on Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.

Sign up for newsletters about queer history, email newsletters are a lot harder to suppress with algorithms. https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/ https://www.makingqueerhistory.com/ https://www.glbthistory.org/newsletter https://arquives.ca/

Look for and record queer history in your local community, there are lots of city-specific queer history projects around the world, and they would love your stories. If you don't have stories, see if you can find some. Queering the Map is a great alternative if there is no queer center in your city.

Learn and share queer history with your friends, talking about queerness in history does more than spread awareness it builds a legacy for often forgotten figures.

Support queer history projects, queer history costs a lot of money to research. With academic paywalls, language differences, and active erasure, this job is not easy. Help queer history projects continue by supporting them financially.

As the year ends, most people start thinking about their goals, and many will be discarded as 2024 goes on, which is why I put a lot of options, both long-term and short-term ones, on this list. Almost all of them are immediately actionable, though. You can do them right now on your phone, and I encourage you to. A lot of people talk about the importance of queer history, but the active choice to preserve and uplift history is much rarer. Don't let queer history slip through the cracks, not when so many people are trying to sweep it out of the narrative entirely.

Whoops I made a trollsona (not homestuck, trolls as in troll dolls)

They are a “pop” troll, but their tastes lean towards artists that hit number 1 only for a little bit and are more melodic.

Decided to acknowledge how in universe, going grey is symbolic of depression and trauma. So I drew my troll as generally desaturated and having much greyer hair before accepting themself. They’re still less colourful than their peers and will never have as much energy as them due to their more introverted and awkward nature. But, they’re happier now they’re not pretending to be something they’re not.

Basically, they spent time dressing up, dying their hair, and putting on makeup to appear as normal as possible while at their lowest. Now, they are open about going grey and how it just reflect their temporary feelings.

HELP!! EMERGENCY RENT FUND

I could really use some financial help right now. I have no mony, no food, and no way to pay my rent. Could someone/anyone help me out? Please share or help if you can. I’m sorry this year, things have just kind of fallen apart in my life

If you have anything to spare, it would help a lot.

Okay I admit part of my reason for redrawing Marigold Macintosh was because of the sudden surge in notes… but also my headcanon for Mac was so fun to redraw! (Ignore the lack of cutie mark, that’s me being lazy lol)

Seriously though, I hold this headcanon near and dear to my heart, even though I engage more with Gen 5 content now
