From the bottom of my heart I hope 2020 is a better mental health year for everyone

there’s a heatwave moving through the US east coast and midwest right now with over 200 million people under excessive heat advisory/watch/warning and experiencing temps 90F+ with heat indexes well into triple digits and this feels foolish to say but please be careful

stay hydrated. you need to drink more water than you think. do not wait until you’re thirsty to drink water- if you’re thirsty you’re already dehydrated.

if you have outdoor pets do not let them out for too long. if the pavement is too hot for your bare feet it’s too hot for your pets.

keep all of your blinds closed during the day. if you have air conditioning don’t set your thermostat below 75F so you don’t overtax the system and help conserve energy.

the sun is at its peak between 11am-4pm so avoid direct sun exposure for more than a few minutes at a time during those hours.

if you do go outside: sunscreen. sunscreen. sun. screen. highest spf you can get your hands on.

keep an eye out for people - heat stroke presents differently than dehydration but both can be deadly.

consider giving money (if you have it) to local shelters and food kitchens- this kind of weather kills and places that help the homeless and people in need will be needing extra support.

I know most of you know all of this already and we all act tough or whatever but this kind of weather is dangerous and we all need to be careful and take precautions.

Don’t waste your money on spf higher than 50 but do re-apply every two hours, but probably more like every hour or hour and a half because you can sweat it off.

My mood rn

“This is a MASSACRE. Surely there’s no revolution with out bloodshed but this can’t be normalized, the violence on Black bodies to add to the “hopeless African” image will not be tolerated. Sudanese people are not a hopeless people. We are a resilient people, a determined people, we persevere and we fight and we continue to show up no matter the conditions, but the support from the outside world right now is necessary.” Ladin Awad

i do suggest reblogging this in case someone sees this happening to someone else they follow

yeah, same thing happened to a comic creator i follow during the protest

bot brute-forced their password and posted pictures of women with links underneath

keep an eye out and let the person know

Oh great.

Enter your URL into this site to see if your blog has content that warrants permanent deletion

For those unaware because staff isn’t saying it

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.

Important about the Tumblr “Purge”

Tumblr has made and official statement on twitter about what’s going on:

We’re committed to helping build a safe online environment for all users, and we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse. As this is an industry-wide problem, we work collaboratively with our industry peers and partners like NCMEC to actively monitor content uploaded to the platform. Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database. We immediately removed this content. Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms. We’re continuously assessing further steps we can take to improve and there is no higher priority for our team.

Please please please, for the love of everything, stop spreading fear in our community. They are not purging your blogs for having NSFW content. If your blog gets deleted and you didn’t have any of the above mentioned content, or something that could be percived as such, then please contact Tumblr Support to regain your blog. They can be contacted via the form here.

Please reblog so people stop spreading false information and cause unnecesary fear.

The Ardennes Draft Horse is considered one of the oldest breeds of draft horse, and is believed to be a direct descendent of the prehistoric Solutre Horse.

Just Leave Mark Alone

this isn’t just directed at anyone who’s being a jackass and if you are go fuck yourself a little girl died what is wrong with you but at everyone. Tragedy, especially of a loved one, even more so that of a child, is the hardest thing ever. Do not send him messages, do not send him tweets or anything

If you want to draw him nice art or send encouraging words in a post that’s different but the last thing he’s going to want to do right now is look at his phone. 

So please, for the love of all that is good in this world, just leave him alone

IMPORTANT DETAIL:

Mark’s 29th birthday is coming very soon (June 28th). I suggest that, even then, you follow the points above! (And listed below for emphasis)

Let’s keep the community sound and organized. Let’s all act adult here.

Our deepest condolences to Mark and his family. That is all 💗
