There was a child standing there, looking absolutely confused- “wha-?? ”, they see the ask, “oh fuck no-”, they go to leave
“Whoa- wait!” Carlos reached out and grabbed the kid’s arm. He wasn’t trying to hurt him, only stop him. “Hold on – I need to have a very serious discussion with you!”
Ahava stopped when Carlos grabbed his arm, sighing softly and pausing in their attempt to leave , “what do you want to discuss?”, they question , still seeming tense and ready to run if needed
“Are you giving alcohol to kids younger than you?” Carlos asked him seriously. He let go of the kid’s arm. “To one of my kids?”
“….. I was drunk outside of my tent, which was a major mistake. Otherwise I wouldn’t have given anyone else any. ”, Ahava simply replied, taking a step back from the stranger.
Carlos just folded his arms with a deep frown. “You shouldn’t be drinking either,” he said. “Where are your parents? Your guardians?”
“They’re dead, and I have no guardians. That’s why I’m at this fucking camp. Anything else you need , or can I go now?”, Ahava said, annoyed at being called out
Carlos’ stern face faltered and his tense shoulders started to slump. “I didn’t know,” he told the child honestly. “I’m sorry for your loss.”
I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.Â
Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog*Â
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.Â
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:Â
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.Â
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.Â
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.Â
this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.

Staff: We’re getting rid of all adult content on Dec. 17th to combat illegal content!
Everyone: You do realize this ban only hurts the people producing legal content, right? Like, those small pages posting illegal stuff never tag their pages appropriately, and don’t care about having to remake a new blog if theirs gets nuked because they can just make a new burner account to post that stuff again.
Staff: …
Everyone: The only adult content that will likely be spreading around would be the illegal content, since you are strong-arming the legally-abiding and responsible adult content creators who take care to tag and label their content and not post anything that’s god damn illegal.
Staff: …
Everyone: That’s also assuming that there won’t be people that just continue posting adult content, either with censor bars or cuts to bypass the adult content check, or by just posting whatever anyway and not caring.
Staff: …
Everyone: None if this even addresses the racism problems that people did have, including the adult bloggers you are now getting rid of. You can’t just get rid of text posts or images of disgusting rheotoric unless there’s a nipple in the mix, yeah?
Staff: …
Everyone: Speaking of which, this new plan of yours still requires moderation, which is seemingly the main responsibility you are actively dodging with this adult content ban measure.
Staff: …
Everyone: So now, basically nothing will have changed except for all the responsible adult content creators being gone that made up a decent number of your most active and loyal users, some of the most active critics and filters of racist content users being banned, and the only people being left posting illegal content or blatantly breaking your rules to post legal adult content to spite you.
