The “Log Off” protest is in response to the recent NSFW ban announced by Tumblr. The ban flags all content the filtering system detects as NSFW, reducing visibility to the community. The system has proven time and time again that is inefficient, oftentimes flagging SFW material as NSFW.
This SFW material includes art, memes and so on. This ban directly hurts the community and will not solve the actual problems at hand due to the poor flagging system. Because of this, the entire community will suffer.
So to respond, I propose that every user on Tumblr logs off of Tumblr for 24 hours on December 17th at 12 am EST.
Times are listed above depending on timezone!
This post responds to some very common questions about the protest. So make sure to read it over!
The Cosplayer was wearing a gas mask, helmet, armour and bullet belt. He was also carrying a New Republic of California flag. People thought he had a bomb strapped to his back but it turned out to be several Pringles cans painted silver.
Police were hiding in bushes and behind their cars with long guns drawn. Happened in Grande Prairie, Alberta. (April 14, 2017)
A reminder to all you cosplayers out there: be careful how you dress when in the general public. Not everyone is savvy to semi-obscure characters/designs.
This, a thousand times this.
Take your mask off, bag your props, and move with people.
Every post apocalyptic cosplay group needs a Safety Naruto. The Safety Naruto will signal to ordinary people that yes this is indeed a costume.
The concept of a Safety Naruto is fucking hilarious
Just like a buddy system except it’s a bunch of people with prop guns or bombs are each assigned a Naruto
i encounter people who want to try short hair but have been socialized to be nervous about it way more often than people who have cut their hair short and regret it.
my advice: if you’re interested in short hair, go for it
it’s fun
so damn convenient
dries faster (great in winter)
cooler (great in summer)
less hair in the sink/on the floor
timesaver
easier to style
middle finger @ gender binary
grows faster
(not necessarily technically, it just feels that way. a few inches of growth feels crazy long if you’re used ear length)
try it in stages if you’re hesitant. take a few inches off here and there. trim it impulsively at home. shave it all off at once. do whatever, life’s beauty is its impermanence, rules are fake.
honestly it should be the norm for everyone to try both long and short styles at some point. it’s very freeing
if you are a man who had sex with a woman, and she became pregnant, and decided to abort, she does not “owe” you any say in the decision. all you did was bust a 10 second nut and suddenly you get a decisive say in whether or not she goes through 9 months of insanity and a painful expensive labour cause YOU want the kid? fuck off. your role in the creation of that fetus is minimal at best. if you really, genuinely wanted a child with her, you would have PLANNED for the conception of a child with that woman BEFORE y'all fucked. stop giving me that shit about “both of them created it together so they get equal say in the matter!” NO a man ejaculated and THAT’S IT, everything else regarding conception is on the woman’s body, she gets the final say in whether or not she’ll carry to term, NOT you. go adopt one of the 250,000 children in foster care waiting for someone to love them if you want a kid that fucking badly.
all pro lifers can fuck off my post please I still stand by this 100%
omg so yesterday i put a salt line on the pathway to our front door because i was fucking around and my brother was pretending to be a demon
and today we ordered pizza and the salt line was still there
and my brother went outside to sign for the pizza
and the pizzaman refused to step over the salt line, like he almost did and then he backed up and handed my bro the pizza and left; which is pretty ridiculous because it’s far from our door
so a heads up to everyone i’m pretty sure domino’s is actually run by demons??? kind of like how in men in black the post office is run by aliens
Demono’s
If it’s not hotter than the fires of hell, it’s free!
This poor Delivery Demon should not have to be putting up with this for just minimum wage…
Fuck of it is that the original founder of Domino’s Pizza is a hardline conservative Catholic who uses the proceeds from his sale of the company (and profits from when he still owned it) to fund an awful conservative Catholic college
I mean… I get that you want to align Roy Mustang with lawful good because he’s a high ranking military officer, but the man literally overthrew the government because he didn’t like it
