MY MOM HAS BEEN MISSING FOR 2 weeks off her meds and they just told me IF YOU LIVE IN DALLAS PLEASE HELP

i just made a really shitty flier and i can email you the doc if you would be willing to put up some fliers. i want to contact dallas news outets too. she has a very recognizable car. please share this as much as possible. im way the heck up north and the rest of my family is also anywhere but dallas idk why she had to go to dallas. apparently she wanted to visit a friend from highschool and never made it. the last place she was seen was Compton Automotive - 10333 Garland Rd and Gus Thomassen rd a week ago, her car was dying and she didnt get it fixed and is probably flat broke so theres a good chance she is in northeast dallas or a motel shelter or hospital. she doesnt seem to have her phone anymore

She has short curly black and grey hair and is somewhat heavy, wears glasses and has green/hazel eyes. she is very funny and awesome most of the time, and probably in a crisis and without money and very at risk to never be seen again. Please at least tell her to call sasha or head back up here and crash w me

I HAVE BETTER PICTURES NOW

please reshare this image wherever you can 

We at Piczel.tv are sad to see Tumblr’s stance against NSFW artists, and would like to offer up our services as an alternative to Tumblr’s arbitrary shadowbans, deletions, and general stupidity.

We’re happy to host adult artists who are looking for a new place to call home, and are planning a few key upgrades and features. 

Effectively immediately though, our gallery upload size restriction has been removed, to be likely raised to 10MB in the near future for non-premium users. As always, we support image sets, and don’t compress anything. Firstly, for those that have been using tumblr as a portfolio, you’ll need a way to download all of your art, if you don’t have backups somewhere else. We are planning a tool for Piczel.tv that will import zip files full of images, including titles and descriptions if we are able. Second, we’re planning the following upgrades to piczel in the coming weeks: 1. Bulk upload/import to your piczel.tv gallery 2. Gallery UI cleanup and improvements 3. Gallery performance improvements 4. Gallery comments with in line image and custom emote support 5. Site-wide PMs (in the vein of tumblr asks, but better) 6. Archive button for your piczel account Don’t forget to follow us on twitter, we may be deleted on the 17th with everyone else. Until then, we’ll make posts here to keep everyone in the loop Please consider reblogging this to help artists in need.

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

I've been really quiet on this whole issue, but man...

It's hard to consider this "transparency" when you have to dig through so much bullshit to see what's been omitted. This whole thing is just ridiculous.

Emergency Commissions

I feel extremely guilty for doing this, but my family is in desperate need for funds right now. Due to unforeseen hurricane damage to our roof, we are currently in the hole in terms of cash. While the amount needed is in the thousands, I’m only asking y’all to help me get to at least $500 in commissions. I’ll have five slots open at a time, and I’ll post my prices below. 

Note: I also have a Ko-Fi available if you would like to just donate. Anything is extremely appreciated.

I am also running a special: Buy 1 Get 1 50% off! Second one must be of equal or lesser value! 

More examples can be found under “The Giant Draws” or on my Deviantart!

All payments are made through Paypal. Thank you again, and please spread this if possible!

Even after another +219% surge of growth, Lucario was getting a little impatient with his friends’ playground construction, so he decided he’d help them out with making their big multistellar shell! Well… he tried. It’s the thought that counts, right?

This Inktober is Interactive! Like, Retweet, or Vote in the polls to help Lucario grow and determine what he’ll do next!

Double Shot - “What’s it Like?”

“I don’t think I can even fit in a house, Pearl…but probably…”

Y’all can thank IncorrectSplatoonQuotes again for this one, directly adapted from this post.

And hey, I think this might be my first session with actual text! Making a mockup of the textboxes and nametags from Splatoon 2 was actually real fun, too. But of course, if you wanna see them without the text: Pearl | Marina

….was there ever any doubt that I’d pick Marina as the “big friendly giant octoling”?

Day 24: Animals. Furries, animals, close enough. Featuring @scarfofsilver and @bigmountaincat receiving well deserved scritches.

>w<

Right so I have commissions if anyone wants to throw their money away- I haven’t done this in a while due to paypal being an absolute pain in the ass with restricting my account but I kinda need money to buy equipment for my major so I’m opening these up. I’ll be accepting money through my kofi. 

“But Archie that’s a terrible idea-you need to use invoices!!”  I know- I know and I used to for commissions but paypal is being very sketchy with my account right now and I’m worried if I continue to use it at the moment it could lead to a whole bunch of problems. 

I have about 5 slots open right now because life so uh- yeah.You can contact me via tumblr message or discord which is Archie #7273

Hey uh-  I’m in a bit of a financial pickle right now due to my payday being moved two weeks forward and I really-really need money.  I’ll be opening my paypal as well so there’s an option there just dm me.
