What all ask boxes look like for me (submission boxes look exactly the same):
Left: what happens when I try to open dms (New Message does nothing); I can’t even read them. Right: when I try to go to someone’s dms from their blog.
Neither new things I post nor old things I post show up in the tags they’re in, even if they were before.
I can type things into replies, but it won’t actually post them.
Since it doesn’t seem this one has been encountered by many people yet, maybe reblog this so people know about it. I’m probably getting deleted though
Tumblr is shadowbanning people and they aren’t even trying to be subtle about it.
Please spread the word.
I’m glad this is spreading but simultaneously it makes it sound like the shadowban is much less severe than it is because I didn’t realize, and this shadowban is so severe I can’t even add on / tell anyone that.
All my likes, reblogs, and replies are hidden from the notes of EVERY post.
When I like or rb things it doesn’t show notes in someone’s activity / dash, except long-time followers (not sure about the exact cutoff/conditions).
If I reblogged and added something to this from a non-follower they wouldn’t even know.
Check and see: my rb’s don’t even show up in the notes.
So people couldn’t even find out I added something on by checking the notes either:
Not to mention: I’m hidden from all searches, can’t be @’d, past @’s of me are hidden from my notes, I don’t get notified when people reply to a post I replied to, my @’s don’t give notes, and every search on my blog is blanked. I can’t even ask/submit to myself even with anons, and lots more.
Oh, yeah, and: MY BLOG ISN’T EVEN MARKED NSFW. Every flagged post I’ve found was restored. But every flagged post you contest brings attention to you that risks you just getting shadowbanned randomly.
THIS is the version that should get spread around…
Hello everyone ♡ Im opening commissions again! If you’re interested please fill out this form. There’s more information in the form but if you have any questions you’re more than welcome to contact me!
I’ll keep it up until all slots are filled or until new year~
a lot of people seem to be reporting tumblr deleting their blogs, and it’s because of the bots. however, it is NOT for posting nsfw content.
it’s for having links in your blog description.
remember a few days ago when people couldn’t search for posts with links in them? it’s most likely related to this. even non-nsfw blogs are being taken down in the purge. so to prevent your blog from being deleted, REMOVE LINKS FROM YOUR BLOG DESCRIPTION.
Also, if your blog is deleted on accident, email tumblr staff about it, and they will restore your blog.
omg guys if this is true, it’s really terrible and everyone needs to see it.
REMOVE ALL LINKS FROM YOUR BLOG DESCRIPTION
just to be safe >__<
I don’t know if this is true or not, but here’s a theory for those who want to be cautious.
Tumblr was deemed too full of inappropriate content to be allowed to be downloaded from the app store.
It has this “inappropriate” problem because of rampant porn ad bot accounts. The old solutions were bots to detect image sets with nsfw content, the automatically enabled safe mode, tag filtering for mobile, and wide takedowns of nsfw bots based on words used (that’s why their messages are full of numbers and symbols, to evade this)
Tumblr released their own bot supposedly capable of wiping the ad bots, but it’s taking down many popular blogs, possibly due to sheer amounts of posting or sheer amounts of ad bots in their notes. This bot was likely rushed to be put out.
You are more likely to be accidentally flagged if you post external links, as well. If your acct is taken down you CAN get it back, but it’s a pain. E-mail tumblr support for help with this. It takes down side blogs with the main ones.
I’ll be halting posts for about a week or until this problem is fixed.
here’s my updated commission info! The Holiday sale is limited space and time(until the end of the year) since I don’t want to overwhelm myself. Depending on demand i’ll see if I can open more slots.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I will not draw: sexualnsfw, heavy gore, photo-realism, anything that makes me uncomfortable I will draw: mild gore, fan art, oc’s, minimal mechanical elements, animals…. basically most other things? Payment: you can pay through either paypal or ko-fi, payment will be required after initial sketch.
Feel free to email me at ellen_sturtevant@yahoo.com or message me here on tumblr!
Yesterday a man came into my work, all scruffy and dirty with a big backpack on his shoulders, and as he was leaving I told him to stay dry because it’s been raining almost none stop for a few days.
He stopped and turned around and laughed, and then he showed me his new shoes that he just bought and said “I’ve been walking the perimeter of the United States; these shoes will last me another month, rain or sunshine.”
We talked for a bit and he told me about how he’s walking around the perimeter of the entire U.S. to raise awareness and money for the homeless. He told me about some things he’s seen and the places he’s been so far. Before he left, he gave me a big smile, said “God be with you,” and walked out the door with the happiest strut I’ve ever seen.
He started off in Virginia and made it all the way down here to Florida on foot, and he’s still got a long way to go. He was very kind and very optimistic.
I’ve never met someone like him before, so I want to try and spread him and his effort here on tumblr.
He isn’t very popular yet, but I really want to try to spread his word and raise awareness of the homelessness issue here in the U.S., and try to help him raise money for this cause.
His name is Leroy Bailey and if you want to follow him around the U.S. his facebook is here.
I didn’t get a photo of him so I took this one from his facebook
It’s been almost 3 months since I posted this and Leroy is now in Texas! He still has a really long way to go though so let’s keep this circulating, get his name and his cause out there!
i haven’t seen any noise about this on tumblr yet, but a fire has completely wiped out a small town in california.
they’re calling it the camp fire. over 20,000 residents have been evacuated so far, the last area estimates i heard were over an hour ago at 18,000 acres and its still zero percent contained.
this is the smoke from about 18 miles away from the fire three hours ago. if you know anyone near chico, paradise, oroville or durham california you might want to check they’re okay
UPDATE: 4PM FRI NOV. 9, 2018
the fire has completely walked over paradise, magalia, and much of the rest of butte county. it’s under 10% containment and moving towards chico, which was been mostly evacuated as well. it’s been documented as one of the top 20 deadliest fires seen in california. i know many of the people personally whose lives have been destroyed by this fire. my aunt and uncle’s home, of whom we’re very close to, was demolished last night, same goes for family friends and others who lived in paradise– which is completely gone. there are 5 confirmed deaths, several dozen missing people.
EVACUATION SITES STILL OPEN AS OF 1 HOUR AGO:
Butte County Fairgrounds (199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948)
Yuba-Sutter Fairground (442 Franklin Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991)
Glenn County Fairgrounds (221 E Yolo St, Orland, CA 95963)
Chester Memorial Hall (22 Gay Street, Chester)
HOW TO HELP/DONATE:
“Currently the best way to contribute is to make a monetary donation via the North Valley Community Foundation website.” -abc7news.com
“Supplies: Hope Center in Oroville (1950 Kitrick Ave Ste. A) is taking donations. Hours: Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Needs: warm clothes, shoes, socks, coats (primarily for elderly residents).” -abc7news.com
the majority of those affected by the fire in paradise were elderly people. and having known paradise and magalia myself for years, it’s not a wealthy part of california. these people will need help, and lots of it.
if you have any questions, you can message me personally or seek information online or from the above references personally.
if you cannot help yourself, please spread the word and reblog. so many wonderful people are going through a terrible thing and need your help.

also increase depending on the use the illustration.
Clothing:

always in a style that makes sense to them. Unless you want something
else!

so I can draw what you’d like to have. Photos, drawings, texts with
descriptions, fanart, fanfic, or any other means to describe the
character/s or place/s as much as possible.If you want me to design a character from scratch that’s a different kind of commission that will be charged differently, so please send me a message if you’re interested.
I can also do painting portraits but they take a lot of time so bear that in mind. Starting at 50€ for a bust. Please go ahead and ask for more info if interested.
If you have any questions please contact me. You can contact me through my email: blueberrycreation@gmail.com.
There is more info in my deviantart journal, please visit blueberry-me.deviantart.com to look into it. I didn’t link it because tumblr likes to eat posts with external links and I need as much exposure as possible.
Reblogs are appreciated ❤ Have a great day, my pretties!
Already here away from home, still looking for a job. I may spend an
extra week (I’m still deciding what to do) because there’s no luck. So,
help a buddy out with a reblog? ❤
