Disaster Boy

Just remember, these are elected officials and our tax dollars are being used for this.

A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September, shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.

Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.

On that note-

Hey guys!

That very handsome boy up there is Romulus and he’s one of @queerkay’s furbabies. In the past couple days, he’s had some health troubles. Nothing fatal, and he should pull through okay with treatment, but as we know, vet bills aren’t cheap and tests alone have wracked up a pretty penny.

I know how important pets are as companions and how much Kay loves their cats, so I’m gonna be offering some limited sketch headshot commissions for only $5USD! For that much, you can take home a little traditional piece like this!

I’ll draw just about anything, humans, anthro, OCs (DnD characters are great fun to draw!) and fandom stuff. $5 per character, up to 2 characters max per piece. There’s no limit on the number of these bad boys (for now) so feel free to hit me up over Tumblr IM if you want some swell art and to help out a good old kitty. ❤️

Hi, this is a little Gang Orca appreciation comic for his birthday inspired by Horikoshi’s notes on him ! Please enjoy
