So this happened to me a few days ago, and I thought maybe sharing my experience could help someone if this happens to them in the future.
I was checking my Tumblr when suddenly I was logged out from it and given the usual Log In page. When I entered the details to access my blog, this appeared:
My heart skipped a bit. I tried to re-enter the details (maybe I got them wrong the first time), but no, the same message about Termination was shown. I typed my blog URL and got the
ominous
:
Same thing with my sideblogs.
So obviously I was very worried. I contacted the Tumblr support but didn’t get an answer for 48 hours, only an automated reply. I already started mentally saying goodbye to my blogs, my posts and all my followers, when finally I recieved their answer:
(In case you can’t see the picture, it says:
Hello, We’ve restored your account. Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We’re sorry that it occurred, and we’ll do our best to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. You should now be able to log in just fine with your email address and password. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
My blog was restored and working normally. All my sideblogs were intact , and so were my posts and my followers. The only thing that was lost, is all the conversations by Messages. The people with whom you talked are still there, but all the history of the conversation is gone.
Alright so here is what you should do if this happens to you. Don’t panick like I did Click on the “contact support” link provided in the terminated window. Alternatively, go on Tumblr.com/support.
Politely explain your situation – give your blog URL, your mail, tell what happened exactly. I understand that the situation can be upsetting, but the person who will read the message and try to help you isn’t directly responsible for the termination of your blog. And sending an angry message with insults isn’t the best way to get your blog back either.
Wait for the reply of the team. If you feel like it takes too much time (more than few days for example), try to fill the Help/Support form again.
Once the team is in contact with you, keep the polite tone. Normally if your blog didn’t go againt the Tumblr rules and policies, you should getit back like I did.
Voila 🙂
Guys this is important. 2 of my followers and rp partners got their accounts terminated today so be careful
be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok
why it so dangerous to be clean
As someone who’s job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didn’t know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and don’t mix chemicals.
Also don’t use bleach to clean up urine it’ll create chloramine bc of the ammonia in it and you can give yourself chemical pnemonia that way
bleach is scary
Last night I was about to mix hydrogen peroxide with vinegar when I remembered seeing this post earlier in the day. Thank you.
It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.
?????????????
I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.
It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.
Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.
My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed – I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.
me gonna try it
dont wanna reblog but insomnia is a bitch for some ppl so heres for my mutuals having trouble sleeping.
A submission from a fan, that I think worth sharing…
This is a message to young white men in America:
Do you feel left out? Do you feel like political discourse has moved in such a way that your voice is unwelcome? Do you worry that voicing your opinions will get you called out and shamed? Do you feel like you should be able to contribute, but you are forced out?
Well now is your time.
In Fight Club Tyler Durden says “We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. “
Well look no further.
The war is here, it is happening right now and you are wanted. No. You are needed.
We need you and we need your voice.
We need you to stand up and be counted.
We need you to fight back.
Finally it is your time.
You must join the fight against bigotry.
When people with Confederate flags and Nazi armbands march through the streets;
You must march against them.
When someone says something racist in your presence;
You must call them out.
When you are called to stand for White Nationalism;
You must remain steadfast.
When you are called a race traitor;
You must stand strong.
When you are pressured to acquiesce;
You must hold firm.
When the tyrant or the bigot tries to push you down;
You must not bow.
When they try to silence your voice;
You must cry ever louder.
If they bring force against your allies;
You must meet it with your own.
When they threaten the oppressed;
You must shelter them from harm.
When bigotry marches;
You are called to serve.
When your allies speak do not push your voice over theirs. But when the bigots speak;
Shout them down in unison.
There is a poison in the community of young white american men.
It must be expunged.
That is our duty. That is our fight.
We do battle for our identity.
Do not let bigots take it from us.
A rot has taken hold among us.
We must burn it away.
Whatever comes we must not lose.
We must not let racists tarnish us.
We must fight and end this plague.
This is where our voice matters. This is the battle we face.
This is how we can contribute.
This is why we are important.
This is our identity.
This is our culture.
Do not let them destroy it.
as a young white american man, this speaks to me.
I may not be American myself, but it is my duty to ensure the call is heard.
You have a duty to all humanity. See it through, whatever the cost. Devote your entire life to it if you must.
if you’re not having fun, then it’s not worth it. don’t let yourself be affected by things that go on around you. 99.9% of the time, roleplayers here are open to being contacted. they have an askbox for a reason, so don’t be afraid to use it! be the person who reaches out, and you may even make a friend!
also don’t hurt yourself by allowing things outside of yourself to affect you. set your boundaries! don’t feel pressured to reply to everyone. don’t feel like you need to fit in with anyone, either. and try not to take it personally; there may be a reason, and there may not be, but it’s not your fault. you have every right to be here, and you have every right to feel good being here.
please remember why you’re here. enjoy your muse, and let yourself make friends, if you want to. we’re all here to have fun, and i promise if you put out positive energy, it will be reciprocated.
I’m a teacher. Today I was covering for a grade 9 science class. Decent kids, if a bit rowdy, and didn’t want to do their work. Wtv, it was textbook work. Not the point.
1 girl (reminder that these kids are, like, 14/15) was doodling bust portraits (head & shoulders) in an art book. I had a squiz and asked her if they were her characters. She said they were and excitedly told me she had so many characters for this one story of hers. I laughed about how I wished I could draw mine, and moved on.
Later in the class, I hear her enthusiastically telling her friend all about her main OC – a gay kitsune prince with a tragic past. It was so, pure, classic Deviant Art: my first OC. And you know what? I loved it. I was just sitting there half overhearing, smiling to myself and glad that her friend was engaging and interested in her story and characters.
This is a girl who will become a creator. She will draw and write and imagine, get better and better. She’ll probably move past this stage and start making more nuanced characters (she was already lamenting she didn’t have enough girl OCs). But this is where she started. This is where so many of us started. I had a tiger catgirl, goth witch/sorceress OC in high school. I found my original design for her recently. Look what I create now.
Let kids be kids. Let them explore and invent and go wild and be cliche and make overpowered OCs. Let them have their anthropomorphic animal OCs. Let them try everything before they settle into maturity.
Doomfist is Nigerian and before you guys go crazy I just want to say a few things. – There’s A LOT of tribes in Nigeria so just doing a small google search about Nigerian traditions, etc. will not be very fruitful. According to my wonderful mom, Akande is Yoruba (a tribe in west nigeria). – For all you writers out there the language has the same name. Yoruba. Nigerian tribes as have completely different languages. (For example, I can understand Edo which is another tribe. If you try to talk to me in Yoruba I will have no idea what you are saying.) – Let’s try not to slap a bunch of western stereotypes on him? Nigerians (and Africans in general) don’t talk like savages. His grammar should be completely correct, especially since he comes from a wealthy family. Don’t try and bring random animals into his life. (Ex. He fought a lion with his bare hands or something stupid.) – Africa is not on another planet. Please don’t act like he’s alien to technology, or western things. He obviously knows what a smart phone and social media is. – LAST THING: He’s being characterised as smart and charismatic! Don’t make him into a brainless, hothead who like punching things. Thankssssss!
Greetings, fellow shippers! Have you ever struggled to express why no two character relationships are the same, regardless of orientation/type? (Romantic, sexual, platonic, queerplatonic, or any combo?) This might be pretty interest-relevant. Introducing…
THE DYNAMIC SNAPSHOT THEORY!
(By me, and @death-star510 made the original graph! Also tons of ship-nerding.)
FEEL FREE TO USE! Just credit back!
This is meant to be an inclusive (works for ace/aro ships, and friendships!), easy-to-read/express, and hopefully fun way to map out your favorite characters’ dynamics.
No drawing by hand/messing with Paint required! (Thank you, @tachyondecay!)
*stares at notes*
Holy crap. This… really took off. :O Hope everyone’s finding it useful!
Aaaa this is really cool Sylver!
Also I found it useful to occasionally overlay two charts representing each character; after all, a lot of times a growing relationship has inequalities.
