Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

11 pm Central Time (US)          10 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I’M A TIRED IDIOT, USE THIS TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

That’s it. He doesn’t push it.

That was Dylan’s mistake. All her observations about Grif were correct, but here she comes, basically reading Grif’s file out loud, acting as she knows his entire being - Grif, who doesn’t want to talk about himself, who kept his sister a secret, who gets uncomfortable whenever Kai talks about their childhood. And this stranger is so sure that she has figured him out, and that makes him angry.

Simmons knows Grif well enough to know his boundaries. He knows that another question would put pressure on Grif, that Grif would grow more defensive and clam up and even get angry at him. So he doesn’t ask it.

He says okay, because it’s okay if Grif doesn’t know. More importantly, it’s okay if he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Because Simmons knows that Grif knows, but he also trusts that Grif will tell him once he feels comfortable.
