Painting it’s all done!

This took a pretty long time but I had a blast doing it. I learned a lot about colors and painting “glow in the dark” effects.

I ended up darkening the background to make them pop up more and I’m loving how it looks now with the contrast and the colors.

I’ll be uploading the video process soon so you can all watch how this piece was done.

Save endangered tumblrs before 17. December

Please submit all endangered Tumblrs you care about in this form.  Also please spread the message.

Hello Tumblr users,

we are the Archive Team, the Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers,
writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage. Since
2009 this variant force of nature has caught wind of shutdowns,
shutoffs, mergers, and plain old deletions – and done our best to save
the history before it’s lost forever. We already worked on other Yahoo related projects like GeoCities and Flickr.

You can learn more about us under https://archiveteam.org/.

We plan to save many as many of the endangered blogs as possible. To do that we take multiple approaches.

  1. We use or scan of Tumblr we did in April 2018
  2. Some guys are working on an AI solution to detect endangered pictures
  3. We look for tags manually

But just us looking is not enough. You know Tumblr better than us.

Submit your favorite endangered Tumblrs here. That way we can be sure not miss them and put them in front of our queue.

If you have technical knowledge join us via IRC chat.efnet.org:9090/?channels=%23tumbledown

I was asked to signal boost this.  You can also check out the Archive Team site and their page about Tumblr to learn more about who comprises the team, their mission & past sites they’ve archived, and their approach for Tumblr. 

Note that what they’re asking for is URLs of blogs (your own or other people’s) that you want to make sure get archived.

WELP

the Wild Kratts server is almost done 😀 It’s bigger than I expected but i’m practically doing a channel/category for every tag I can think of.

by the way, please reply to this post with any AU/tag/category you want in the server! This is made for all of us so we have to built it together (/>u<)/

should I make a discord server for the Wild Kratts fandom?

There’s already one and its good, don’t get me wrong, but its mostly (if not entirely) for roleplay.

My idea is to make another just to post stuff. Make it work like tumblr, so there’ll be channels for fanart, fanfics, headcanons, other stuff, etc.
Just to make it more organized. There’s already a lot of channels in the server and leaving the rp separated from everything else seems right.

There’s 22 channels. Believe me, its better having it separated.

Also idk what happened to the server’s owner but I think she wouldn’t like my idea 😐

This is just in case tumblr dies so yeah tell me what do you think ^^/

Alternatives to Tumblr

glasmond:


and what they’re good for.

Since many of us are looking for new places to settle in, I’ll share the information I’ve gathered so far for alternative platforms and how they work in relation to Tumblr. 

I’m covering over 30 platforms!

I will update this list when I have new information, so make sure to check it out again now and then! I’m open for new suggestions to add, so if you have infos about new sites or more things to add about the existing ones, please make sure to add it in a reblog!
