Usually, there’s one blog I follow that tends to do it (and they have a different custom theme that I think triggers it more), but now it’s happening on everything, and I’ve heard the “checking your browser” comes up when Tumblr’s system is struggling to tell if you’re a bot or not… and so now I’m worried if I reblog a bunch of posts today it’s going to trip over and think I’m a bot, and I’m not trying to turn into a pixel blog here! (Though the way things have been going, my spidey-senses are questioning if Tumblr would decide that would be a great crappy birthday gift for me).

Yesterday, my cousin and I did figure out that logging in on a phone in a mobile browser with Wi-Fi turned off and a good data connection sometimes got us in, but that way has its limitations. Putting that out there for anyone who might have trouble.

It’s an error that isn’t getting as much fanfare, because the site is working just fine if you’re already logged in and stay logged in… but a problem at the login page and putting in all your credentials and getting “Oops there was an error” is a problem (and per Reddit, others haven’t been able to make new accounts or reset passwords, either)… it is serious.

Oh… Please, don’t. Please, don’t. 🥶
