Because life needs more foxes.

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

By destabilization I mean that the millennial generation will eventually become aware of the fact that they will be enslaved by their student debt for most of, if not their entire lives.

Many in this generation still had parents that were able to save and contribute financially to their children’s college education, but that’s also going to be a thing of the past when everyone has their own debt burden to carry well into adulthood - meaning the problem will become unimaginably worse for the next generation.

Once people realize this, you’ve got a social powder keg unheard of since the social question poised by the industrial revolution.

One of the main critiques of socialism is that without the incentive to excel, no one will do their best job, and the system will fall apart as unmotivated people do worse and worse work.  If you get the same housing and food and medical care whether you do good work or crappy work, why try?

But end-stage capitalism has the same problem, only without the guarantee of food and shelter.  If you’re going to drown in debt your entire life and never be able to afford a house regardless of whether you work hard or don’t work hard, what incentive is there to slave away for your corporate masters?  

Second Life Toys Campaign Promotes Organ Donation With the Use of Old Toys

Japan’s organization Second Life Toys is hoping to promote the awareness of organ donation with a tender and provocative message. With the use of children’s stuffed animals, they appoint new limbs to the broken toys, in order to save them and make them whole again.

Please, bring more attention to this and all the missing girls! Every girl could get this kind of message, this is really dangerous! The media doesn’t want to talk about it, so we are forced to act independently!

I can name about 5 white girls that got international attention when they went missing… everyday teenage girls whose names will forever be in my head from seeing their images everywhere over the years! But black girls can go missing and the worldwide media can look the other way!

The media can give 24 hours coverage of riots but when it comes to these missing black and latino girls they don’t want to cover it.

Smh.. I’m tired…

Save your kitties, we all know they eat everything anyway.

I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.

After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say, “Well, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!” And they’ll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like I’m just now understanding it. Then I explain, “There might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.” 

This is not an acceptable habitat for a hermit crab

This is not an acceptable habitat for a goldfish

Neither of these are an acceptable habitat for a beta fish

And this is not an acceptable habitat for a rabbit/ferret/rat/guinea pig/hamster/chinchilla/ or any other small mammal
