As far as I know, any tumblr blog that is not protected by password or locked to dashview.

There is a little caveat, though: after an update in 2020, tumblr asks you to get your own API key in order to make these third-party apps work. So for the backup this means registering your own app on tumblr (the link requested on the tumblr registration page can be your github page - simply make one if you don't have it already), getting your own key, and then opening the .py file of the tumblr_backup on something like notepad++ and copying&pasting your key where the link I gave you tells you to put it.

After that, it goes smoothly.

Second caveat: it saves everything that has ever been posted, it won't save the notes on the posts (you'll know how many there were on each post at the time of the backup, but you can't open them), nor your inbox, drafts, or your chat. You can save your likes on the side - so long as they're public - by using the proper flag.

Some people’s do, but mine and many others don’t. Fiction can explore dark, dangerous, and twisted ideas without the risk of direct harm to others, so it’s inherently morally neutral. Some people are more directly empathetic with fiction than others, but your ability to empathize with a fictional character is frankly just not a good moral thermometer.

“Well, ok, but it’ll desensitize you over time!”

Research says no. Personal experience says no, too; I have been consuming dark fiction for over a decade, and my empathy remains perfectly intact.

“Your taste in fiction reflects your world view!”

These are buried in the notes of that adult content post but I wanted a separate post for my own reference.

In case anybody else comes out with “AO3 took down fics calling out racism!” -

Fic pt 1, taken down for directly asking readers to harass other AO3 authors by name

WOW MOOD

Like, it’s very normal to not experience sexual attraction by 14. It’s also very normal to experience it. It’s just about exactly the 50/50 mark in development so whatever a 14 year old is experiencing is likely normal if there’s no outside influences

Ok, I’ve gotten this ask a few times in the past week or so (or stuff like it, I don’t think it’s the same anon) and

I’m sleepy, so I’m just going to encourage you to read up on actual research regarding incest.

I’m not saying that the hypothetical situation here is 100% impossible. I’m just saying that in our current society, there’s a serious under-recognition of the fact that incestuous abuse frequently extends into adulthood, and/or re-asserts itself as a sexualizing of family relationships in adulthood.

Hi anon!! Don’t worry, I had to look up the answer to this question even though I’m older than you and have had sex with men before. It’s not like we’re born knowing this!

So, good news and bad news. Good news: there are EXTREMELY good methods of birth control out there. Bad news: the most effective ones do involve a small medical procedure.

IUDs (intrauterine devices) and implants are both over 99.9% effective - the only thing more certain is surgically removing your reproductive system. They’re also foolproof, unlike condoms or the pill (both of which have extremely high success rates if, and only if, they are used perfectly all the time). They last for years and are covered by most insurance plans. IUDs do need to be inserted into your uterus and implants beneath your skin, which can feel a little invasive and uncomfortable, but if you want the highest peace of mind possible, these are your friend.

Over the counter methods are less reliable, but still INFINITELY better than nothing - condoms are about 80% for the average person (although learning how to properly apply a condom and using them consistently makes them 99% effective) and birth control pills are 91% effective (again, taking them correctly brings them up to 99%). Barrier methods are the only method that protects from STD’s, so you should be using them unless BOTH of you have been recently tested!
