White women on tumblr claiming that men cannot be witches because of historical persecution without addressing the ways in which white People have systemically persecuted and destroyed the pagan practices of people of color for centuries proping up their own narrow view of white paganism as the face of modern witchcraft is peak white feminism.

ways to save your current tumblr posts
use the wayback machine! you do have to archive each page of your blog individually but once you do all the content, including media, will be saved exactly as it was at the moment you archived it.
wordpress allows you to directly import whole tumblr blogs, and if i recall correctly it’s something both dreamwidth and pillowfort have said they are working on.
tumblthree is a great tool with a ton of functions including downloading whole blogs, only posts tagged with a certain tag, all the posts you’ve liked, etc. etc. along with being able to download every type of media hosted on tumblr (pictures, videos, audio, everything). it also has a proper GUI so no computer knowledge required beyond downloading and running programs!
if you have some knowledge of computers you can try this github solution which uses a python script to download your whole blog to your computer. even if you don’t know anything about programming or the command line they give a very good beginners tutorial on how to use it so you should still give it a shot!
if that’s still a little daunting you can try soarcodes’ tumblr post that also has a decent tutorial!
here’s another python script that should allow you to archive all the images from your blog or your likes, though it requires some knowledge of python and the command line or very very good google skills.
some notes
edit: please stop commenting on this post to self-promote your porn accounts on other sites. those replies / reblogs will be deleted or hidden.
please note that every site on this list will have pros and cons, and i haven’t listed them here since this post would be a mile long otherwise. please do your research before moving completely over to another site in case they have policies you disagree with.
also, because I see a lot of misinformed people ranting about this: deviantart does not own the art you post. some years ago hot topic stole a ton of art from DA and sold it on merchandise and people assumed that DA gave them permission to do it despite there being literally zero evidence for that claim. DA explictly states in their TOS that you retain copyright and sole license of the art you post.
and related, mastodon does not allow or condone CP or pedophilia. the people spreading this info are misinformed about what mastodon is. it is not an exact twitter clone; anyone anywhere can host a mastodon instance using their personal computer as a server, which means mastodon as a company can’t do jack shit to moderate them. what they DO is permanently block all users from every other instance from viewing or interacting with that instance, and add that instance to a publicly viewable list along with the reason for the block. please give their post about anti-abuse measures a read before making snap judgements.
Mine shafts and tunnels are seen as “the perfect environment” for growing food such as vegetables and herbs.
The initiative is seen as a way of providing large-scale crop production for a growing global population.
Advocates say subterranean farms could yield up to ten times as much as farms above ground.
President of the World Society of Sustainable Energy Technology, Prof Saffa Riffat, believes the scheme would be a cost-effective way of meeting the growing need for food.
So… what is a character arc? A character arc is the transformation, growth, or inner journey of a character over the course of a story.
Character arcs are related to and tied up with plot arcs. Whereas plot
arcs are about a character’s external journey (save the castle, get the
girl, avoid prison); character arcs are about a character’s internal journey (fearful to courageous, shy to boisterous, miser to philanthropist).
Character-driven stories focus heavily on this internal arc, whereas
plot-driven stories may only lightly touch on it, and that’s okay. Every
story doesn’t need to be about a deep excavation of a character’s soul.
But even plot-driven stories can benefit from incorporating character
arcs.
Character arcs come in different shapes. They can be positive, negative, flat, ambiguous, bittersweet, or any combination.
Positive character arcs are the most familiar,
since they are used so often in mainstream fiction and movies: Through a
series of events, a character improves their situation and themselves.
Examples: High Fidelity, Harry Potter, basically every mainstream book and movie
Negative character arcs are about characters who transform in an unsavory way by the end of the story. Example: Crime and Punishment
Flat arcs happen when a character encounters a series of obstacles and remains steadfast and unchanging, for better or for worse. Lolita, The Hunger Games
Ambiguous arcs are more common in literary stories.
They present the reader the opportunity to interpret the arc for
themselves—was it positive? Negative? Flat? Examples: The Road, We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Bittersweet arcs are similar to ambiguous arcs,
except, well, they’re less ambiguous. In the end, the reader is clear
what both the positive and negative aspects were, but feel that the
positive outweighs the negative. Examples: The Fault in Our Stars, The Outsiders
Why character arcs are important
Good characters are essential to a good story. Imagine To Kill a Mockingbird without Scout; The Hunger Games without Katniss; Harry Potter without Harry, Ron, or Hermione; or Everything is Illuminated without Alex. This is not to minimize the importance of good plot. But a plot without good characters will fall flat.
That’s because readers don’t care about your plot by itself. They care about how your plot affects your characters.
If your plot is full of crazy, exciting events but your characters are
stiff, cardboard cut-outs who watch blankly from the sidelines as the
story passes them by, your story will feel lopsided and unsatisfying.
That’s where character arcs come in. But, as you’ve
probably figured out already, creating a character arc isn’t the easiest
thing to do. I invented the DCAST method because I was frustrated and
overwhelmed with all the “character development” sheets and checklists
that were a mile long… but didn’t actually help me get to the heart of
my character’s arc. Now, I’m able to get clear relatively quickly using
the acronym DCAST to remind me of the most important character arc
elements.
In this post, I’ll introduce you to the basics of creating a
story-level arc for your character using the DCAST method. To apply this
method to your own characters, get the companion download Creating Character Arcs: The Workbook over at my Free Resource Library.
How to plot a story-level character arc using the DCAST method
We’re going to look at giving your character an overall, story-level
arc using the DCAST method. That means we’ll chart their internal
development over the course of the entire story. They may have smaller
arcs and changes within the story, but this top-level arc defines their
overarching purpose and change (or lack thereof).
I stress this because often writers lose sight of the forest for the
trees. They focus on all the smaller internal shifts their character
goes through… and forget to define their character’s story-level
journey. This can make for a story that lacks focus and drive.
no offense but squidward saying “nobody cares about the fate of labor as long as they can get their instant gratification” is more woke than anything wendy’s twitter or any liberal has ever said
there aren’t enough posts going around about the swedish cryptid known as the skvader which is a rabbit with pheasant wings and also a very good boy.
like this one dude just made a fake taxidermy and spread it around as a hoax for a good ass while and it lead to this really cool fantasy creature and i am genuinely dissapointed that it never gets used in anything
THE BOY
Rabbirds, by the amazing @tkingfisher/Ursula Vernon (source).
The lack of skvaders is particularly frustrating when you realize it forms the third point of a wonderful cryptid trifecta.
You got the jackalopes, which are rabbits with antlers.
And you got the wolpertingers, which are rabbits with antlers and wings.
And then… what? Do you escalate? That’s unbalanced, those two rabbit cryptids don’t have the same number of extra things, the wolpertinger is clearly the jackalope But More.
BUT with the skvader on the other side, balance is restored. Antler rabbit, winged rabbit, winged antler rabbit. It’s a classic Venn diagram of imaginary lapine beasts, and it’s only complete if you acknowledge the fucking skvader.
Good thing Ursula’s got our back, at least.
This is a really excellent point and I applaud your advancements in Cryptid Theory.
Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.
