For Everyones Information:

For everyone’s information:

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.

Toxic for rabbits: Anise, Clove, Oregano, Tea Tree, Wintergreen Safe for rabbits: Lavender, lemon, orange, fennel,  eucalyptus and peppermint, all should be diluted with water!

I saw some angry tweets today, so I’ve sketched what I think about pitching women against each other.

Those two would get along pretty well.

Do as Peggy says does.

+Bonus:

Guys who complain about the friendzone often don’t care about their female friends’ personal boundaries, forcing their female friends build more walls up. A good cartoon.

Sabrecmc gave me permission to post this screenshot of a post they made over on pillowfort.

They also asked if people are willing, that we contact Tumblr on their behalf. Sabrecmc has given us so, so much… they’ve been a great partner to this blog, and I think it’s the least we can do for them. Please don’t shrug this off and assume someone else will do it. YOU SHOULD DO IT. WE SHOULD ALL DO IT AND RESTORE SABRECMC’S GOOD NAME.

In fact - I’ll put money where my mouth is. If you contact support on sabrecmc’s behalf, take a screen shot of it, post it on your blog, and send us an ask letting us know you have. When we restore sabrecmc, I’ll pick one user and send them a $50 gift code to the Disney store (or, something equivalent for international users).

Let’s do this. - S.

ETA: if you see this in reblog, is please check to see if sabrecmc has been reinstated before contacting support.
