For those of you who haven’t seen this announcement, tumblr recently made some changes to the iOS version of the app, purportedly to comply with Apple’s content guidelines. These changes took effect on Dec 21, starting in version 22.5.1 of the iOS app. As some of you may recall, Apple’s strict guidelines were the driving force for the infamous Great Purge of 2018, which coincidentally also happened around this time of year, but it seems banning all of the female-presenting nipples wasn’t good enough for Apple.
Below is a summary of the important changes. Note that these changes technically ONLY affect those using the iOS app. If you’re accessing tumblr through a different app or operating system (Google Chrome, Android app, etc) it won’t affect you directly but it will affect your followers who use iOS so you should definitely be aware of it.
- The list of banned tags has been expanded. As before, there’s no way to know which words or phrases have been banned until you try searching for them, in which case you’ll either get no search results or the following message: “This content has been hidden because of potentially suggestive or explicit content.” You may think this doesn’t concern you if you don’t post explicit material, but do not make the mistake of expecting the banned tags to be logical or reasonable. I’ve already encountered multiple completely innocuous posts (random fandom gifsets) that seem to be hidden on iOS for no discernible reason.
- Blogs that have been flagged as explicit can no longer be viewed. Previously, flagged blogs just had their posts hidden from searches, but if you knew the username you could still visit it after clicking through a warning about sensitive content. Now you can’t access it at all.
- Likes and reblogs from blogs that have been flagged will no longer show up in your notes. This one won’t affect most people’s user experience as much as the others, but it does mean you may be missing notes. It’s unclear if likes and reblogs from flagged blogs will still count towards the overall note total (and only be missing from the activity feed and note viewer) but I suspect that’s the case.
- THE BIG ONE: ANY POST TAGGED WITH A BANNED TAG WILL NO LONGER SHOW UP ON YOUR DASHBOARD. Previously, if you tagged a post with a banned word or phrase (even if the words were used inside another tag), that post would not show up in searches, but your followers would still be able to see it on their dashboard. Now those posts are hidden from your own followers as well. This includes both original posts and reblogs. And if that wasn’t bad enough, here’s the real kicker: even if you don’t tag something with one of the banned words, if the OP used a banned tag, any reblogs of that post will not show up on anyone’s dashboard (on the iOS app). The only saving grace here, and I hate to even call it that, is that the blocked posts are still visible if you visit a blog directly or if you have post notifications turned on.
As usual, tumblr was extremely unclear and evasive about all of this in their official announcement. Not surprising, of course, since if more people were aware of these new draconian tactics I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more of an uproar about it. Tumblr claims that these changes are somewhat temporary and that they are currently working on something that will allow for a less restricted iOS experience, but they refuse to say what that something is and when it will be implemented. And let’s just say, considering their track record, I’m not hopeful.
All of this is horrible and infuriating for many reasons, but the worst part is how insanely counterproductive it is to creating the “safe” environment tumblr (or more specifically Apple) supposedly wants.
Tags have always been used for both blog organization and filtering purposes. Tagging posts with triggers and content warnings is a common practice that gives users the ability to filter out content they may find upsetting or just don’t don’t want to see for whatever reason. By choosing to ban a bunch of unlisted “sensitive content” tags, all they’re doing is encouraging people who want to share that kind of content to come up with alternative less well-known tags or simply not tag that content at all anymore if they want it to show up on their follower’s dashboards, thereby making it more likely for someone to encounter it when they didn’t want to.
So really, with all of the alleged concern for safety and “protecting the children,” all they’ve done is make tumblr less safe for everyone. Typical.

for me it was the pan to the handcuffs on the ground. because it’s the perfect metaphor for their situation, this thing that forced them to stay together, that made them get mad at each other, that forced them to work together, that made them soften to each other. that kinn had the ability, for so long, to break, he could’ve let go, he could’ve freed him. but he held on for as long as he could, for as long as his selfishness and hopeful, wishful thinking would let him, because he didn’t want to let him go. but he couldn’t avoid the truth forever, that keeping porsche with him was hurting him, that he hurt him, that he was taking this man’s joy and light and ruining it, keeping him trapped. this man that would sacrifice his life for him, would lose a hand for him, that’s proves to him, porsche can’t stay here, with him. he loves him too much for that, cares about his happiness too much for that. and he will not let this world ruin porsche like it has kinn. so he lets him go, gives him freedom, lets him leave the world that ruins his happiness. because the biggest act of love he can make, is to free porsche from the world that he cant escape from. give him happiness that he’ll never have.

“Emile van Essen comes from North Holland and was of the opinion that the original two-stroke three-cylinder of a 1976 Suzuki GT550 could be replaced with a turbine. An Airesearch GTP 30 turbine built in 1967 found its way into the Suzuki context. Since the turbine works alongside kerosene and diesel, Emile also belongs to the elite circle of diesel bikers. The turbine develops around 90 hp at 58,000 rpm. The idle speed is about 18,000 trips. A turbine drive requires a slightly different ratio to the speed. Power transmission, the original Suzuki gearbox is reused. The tank was borrowed from a Ducati and a 24 volt power was required to start the turbine. Nevertheless, the machine only weighs a little over 160 mph. “

1984 Soviet Space laser pistol
The Soviet laser pistol was a prototype handgun-shaped energy weapon designed for use by cosmonauts in a low or zero-gravity environment that renders conventional firearms ineffective. The weapon was magazine fed and used pyrotechnic flashbulb technology to project its beam. Another type of the gun was a six-shot laser revolver.

Лазерный пистолет был прототип пистолета -образный энергетическое оружие предназначено для использования космонавтами в низкой или нулевой гравитации среде , которая делает обычные огнестрельное оружие неэффективно. Оружие питалось из магазина и использовало технологию пиротехнической лампы-вспышки для проецирования луча. Другим типом оружия был шестизарядный лазерный револьвер.

Top secret because it has Nismo engine and electric engine (hybrid) together and can be over 1000-1500 HP many more powerful than Bugatti or Lamborghini!
Flight history was written in the Çatalca Tunnel in Turkey. The Italian pilot Dario Costa managed to fly through two car tunnels in a row with his propeller plane. At (152,236 mph) 245 kilometers per hour, he held his plane just under three feet above the ground.
With his flight Costa set a new world record. Never before had a pilot flown through a tunnel for so long. But the daring maneuver is not for the faint of heart.

Im Çatalca Tunnel in der Türkei wurde Fluggeschichte geschrieben. Der italienische Pilot Dario Costa schaffte es mit seiner Propellermaschine durch zwei Autotunnel hintereinander zu fliegen. Mit 245 Kilometern pro Stunde hielt er sein Flugzeug knapp einen Meter über dem Boden.
Mit seinem Flug stellte Costa einen neuen Weltrekord auf. Noch nie zuvor war ein Pilot so lange durch einen Tunnel geflogen. Doch das gewagte Manöver ist nichts für schwache Nerven.

La storia del volo è stata scritta nel tunnel atalca in Turchia. Il pilota italiano Dario Costa è riuscito a volare attraverso due tunnel automobilistici di fila con il suo aereo a elica. A 245 chilometri all'ora, ha tenuto il suo aereo a un metro dal suolo.
Con il suo volo Costa ha stabilito un nuovo record mondiale. Mai prima d'ora un pilota aveva volato in un tunnel così a lungo. Ma la manovra audace non è per i deboli di cuore.
