from my sources adjacent to tumblr–from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector–im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i’m hearing there are about 25 people left.
This is important, people. Please don’t scroll past this one.
While I don’t think that Tumblr is about to shut down anytime soon, as a fandom old who lost my community and my people when the fandom diaspora happened from LiveJournal, I want to urge that you do something NOW:
Get your backup account(s) elsewhere NOW
Let your moots know your username(s) at those places NOW
Follow your moots at their places NOW
I mean this with all my heart. Get this done now. Get set up and find your people now. Tumblr is the home of fandom now, just as LiveJournal was the home of fandom way back. And you could end up losing your fandom home just as easily and quickly as us old LJ people did way back then.
It’s a horrible feeling, and most old LJ users still mourn the loss of it to this day.
The rest of this gets a bit long, so it needs to go behind a cut, but please take a moment out of your scrolling to read it.
The ‘Cross Stitch for Gaza’ bundle contains 63 patterns from 35 artists, and is available to anyone who makes a donation of €15 or more to Hadeel Mikki’s GoFundMe page, where she is raising money to help get her family out of Gaza and into safety in Egypt.
Hadeel and her husband and daughters have suffered immensely in the past eighteen months– they’ve lost their home, much of their extended family, and, most recently, Hadeel’s father.
Their one path to safety is to raise enough money to pay for the crossing into Egypt: for a family of their size, it can cost anywhere from €20,000 to €35,000. It’s a formidable amount, but we are committed to do as much as we can to help them– we’re setting our goal at €20,000, and we would love your assistance in helping reach it!
To get the full pattern bundle, head to CrossStitchForGaza.com; you’ll be prompted to make a donation to Hadeel’s family of €15 or more, after which you can fill out a form on the website to submit a screenshot of your receipt. Once the form is in, one of our volunteers will email you back within 24 hours with your full copy of the bundle!
Thank you so much to the artists and designers who have donated their patterns to this fundraiser– we have truly been blown away by the response we have received! We’ll be posting more pictures here later, but you can also see the full lineup at the Pattern Gallery on our website.
Kids don’t have a little brother working in the coal mine, they don’t have a little sister coughing her lungs out in the looms of the big mill towns of the Northeast. Why? Because we organized; we broke the back of the sweatshops in this country; we have child labor laws. Those were not benevolent gifts from enlightened management. They were fought for, they were bled for, they were died for by working people, by people like us. Kids ought to know that. That’s why I sing these songs. That’s why I tell these stories, dammit.

AI disturbance overlays for those who don’t have Ibis paint premium. found them on tiktok
how do you use these?
Put these on the top layer above everything, set layer to ‘overlay’ then adjust opacity. You can put it on whatever opacity you want but usually 30%+ is most effective.
The point is to obstruct the picture so AI can’t read your image because AI counts every single pixel in your art
