Action to protect the creators
So, I read and reblogged claudiojudkevitchββs βProtect the Creators,β which ponders what would happen if β we stop posting anything until Tumblr decides to protect the creatorΒ΄s rights by making it impossible to erase the credits.βΒ The idea is brilliant. I like it.
However, Sunday, inspired by that post, I woke up with this idea:
We should all post, on the same day, a sign that reads βProtect the Creators.β It should have the Tumblr blue background with bold white font. Just a square, using the Tumblrβs own, well know design to blend in yet also be subversive. Make it look like something Tumblr staff itself is promoting.
Then I thought, βWait. What if we change our avatars, right now, to that sameΒ βProtect the Creatorsβ photo, and then in the same day we all post that image, instead of our usual content. Why not?β
JUNE 1, 2015.
Letβs do it Monday, June 1, 2015. No content except the βProtect the Creatorsβ photo.
Then I thought,Β βWhy not make them in different languages, and perhaps each one of us can choose to change our avatar to a different language every day untilΒ Monday, June 1, 2015. That would be kinda cool, right?
If you click on this link, it will take you to a Google Drive folder that has all the signs I created. Click on the one you want to download. It will open up in a new window that has a download arrow icon at the top. Download as many as you want. ((I actually wanted to write βCollect them all!β) Sorry if the translations re not accurate, but I used Google Translate. Also, sorry if I missed your language. I just picked what fellow Tumblrs I know speak and then some others.
What do you think?
Tumblr, weβve gone big before. I havenβt heard about this AT ALL except through my bfβs tumblr.
I know that some of these, a lot of you out there wonβt remember, but here on my end, we (Tumblr) went big in 2013 with Operation Zubat Storm. Every year we have Speak Your Language Day in May. I know there are more. You know there are more. This is a small change that will make a huge difference. It wonβt hurt anybody more than itβll help.
Okay, anyways, this wonβt be seen by a lot of people coming off of my blog (unless literally everyone that sees the post at all reblogs it, but even thenβ¦), so.. You guys know the drill. We do things. So letβs do this thing.
Pro tip: if youβre not on mobile, change this to a text post in the upper right hand corner so the message isnβt hidden on your blog. If youβre like βnahβ or youβre on mobile, reblog it anyways.
I need to get rid of this blog because itβs not doing anything for me, but while I have it: PSA
