anyone else feel like their spirit is ancient and they’ve been carrying the weight of its heartbreak for an eternity
My dad’s literal first words on holding me for the first time were “ …she’s done this before, and she’s not happy to be back.”
Congrats. You remember something. Now do you remember who you are in full? I’ve remembered being an artist for at least another lifetime.
So hey I guess here I go and invite you to join me on my Twitter (and Mastodon later if that’s your thing~)

And don’t give me “we don’t pay our taxes” because we do. Bye. Thanks for turning into shit Instagram.

Hey! So uh, there seems to be a mass exodus to Twitter and other sites due to tumblr’s stupid censorship of nsfw content and creators. Some of you guys are probably leaving this place entirely, which I totally get. This site isn’t too great at the rate it’s going.
So I was wondering, should I set up camp on Twitter as well in case things go south here? If I do end up moving to Twitter, I’d honestly like to rebrand as well. I actually had a “DavidBaronArt” account there a while ago, but I’d prefer to show up there again under a different name and icon to be completely honest.
I’ll be following on whatever account you’ll be on.
I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.
Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month)
2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog)
3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it)
4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not)
5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.
this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.
reference.
You can save all your posts with these instructions
I’ll do it too just to be safe, I honestly don’t remember what I’ve posted here over the years.
You can also import a copy of your blog into wordpress. YMMV if you have a huge amount of posts.
Oh thanks!! This is also a good one!! In case the first doesn’t work or you don’t have the memory for a whole zip of your blog~
And don’t give me “we don’t pay our taxes” because we do. Bye. Thanks for turning into shit Instagram.

Do you ever think of how weird it would be if Mickey Mouse’s name was actually Michael? And how weird it would be if one day Minnie called him “Michael Mouse” because she was upset with him? Because I think about it sometimes.
I have just been informed that Mickey’s full name is “Michael Theodore Mouse”, and that Minnie’s is “Minerva Mouse”. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING FORBIDDEN NOW???
I feel like this is a good time to share the fact that Donald Duck’s middle name is Fauntleroy.
goofy periodically changes his name to avoid the IRS if i remember right
