Its humbling to remember that I, too, can be the weirdo who misunderstood op and got too worked up about it. One only achieves Buddhahood when one realizes that anyone can be the weirdo who misunderstood op and got too worked up about it

Folks, backup your Tumblrs, for real this time

To be clear, I don’t have any news about any impending doom. But I’ve heard a bit more about what’s going on with staff after the layoff of last week, and there are even less people than I thought still working here.

I don’t think even the current staff know what’s going to happen, but honestly, I don’t see how the high ups could even pretend to intend to keep this place open while virtually unstaffed.

And of course, if the most despicable thing happens, you can find me at @javi@goblin.band from any fediverse platform 🤷

for reference, OP is a former employee of Tumblr who tries to keep up to date with tumblr’s inner workings. please back your blogs up.

In your blog settings you have the ability to initiate a blog export, and this will generate a backup for your blog.

Fair warning though, if you’ve been on the platform for a long time this archive is likely to be quite hefty in file size. This blog I have had for 5 years with 22k posts, and the export from tumblr came to be 48GB. My previous blog I made in 2011 and has 95k posts, so needless to say I did not use tumblr’s built in export to back that one up.

If you want more control over exactly what you back up from your blog, I recommend that you use tumblr-utils instead. It allows you to backup specific tags, post types, and to ignore posts that you did not create (reblogs where you’ve added a comment count as a post you created, to be clear).

To use it:

1. download and install python 2.7
2. download tumblr-utils
3. create an application on tumblr to get an api key
4. extract the tumblr-utils zip and open the tumblr_backup.py file in notepad
5. search for “API” and paste in your OAuth consumer key
6. then go back to the folder where you extracted tumblr-utils and choose open folder in terminal / command prompt, or type cmd.exe in the address bar while inside the folder

now in the window that opens it should show the current path, and you can type “py -2 .\tumblr_backup.py [your options] [your blog name]” and hit enter. Example:

Backing up just my original posts from this blog with this command came to 632MB rather than 48GB, and also gave me the option to save my posts in JSON format which will be useful for converting my posts to a new format for self hosting.

On that note I’m currently looking into figuring out a simple (and ideally free) way of self hosting a static site blog that utilises activitypub, and also converting my old posts to re-host on said blog.

This post series by maho.dev on implementing activitypub with any static site is my primary source of guidance atm if you also want to try figure that out yourself, as well as having an explanation for why you’d even want to do this if you don’t already know

but if tumblr goes down before I get things sorted and write up a post about it then i’ll be reporting back on it via my bsky, mastodon, and toyhouse accounts

if you dont have an account on any of these I’ll also be sharing an update via my personal site’s RSS feed, link of which includes an explanation of what RSS is and some feed readers you can use, I highly recommend checking it out as getting a feed reader is going to be the best way you can stay connected with people if they scatter across the internet!

tldr: download tumblr-utils to backup your blog more efficiently, introduce yourself to RSS and get a feed reader to stay connected with people, consider saving mine so you can find out how to self host your blog later if tumblr goes down

I just made a bet with Cyrus that I would get a higher word count than them on this writing retreat and have instantly realized I am going to lose. They are a machine. But I also would love to defeat them. I’m thinking I either start using a bunch of extra adverbs and/or I break their fingers.

Cyrus, don’t like this post, this is a psyop to trick you into getting complacent, I don’t have writer’s block and I do have a big sexy ass that’s gonna crush the competition

This motherfucker is 5000 words ahead of me with one night left. I’m gonna have to abandon the idea of producing quality work.

Okay they just aren’t human

Here’s them modeling the stupid fuckin hoodie I had to buy them. Don’t make bets with hyper competitive assholes. It will not end well.

Was thinking about the rust belt, then the Bible Belt, then the sun belt, then the corn belt, and I was like “how many goddamn belts does America have” and it appears to be about 20 belts, proud to announce America is a final fantasy character

This week on Cracked Spines Podcast, we’re tackling Animorphs. Again. For the sixth time. This time, books 28 through 32 which features one of Cyrus’ favorite installments of the whole series, some of my absolutely favorite Jake moments, and also a whole book here we went, “okay, so this is what people mean about the middle sometimes being a slog.” Listen to hear me get sheepish about the power of reading Animorphs in these morally fraught times and then get yelled at by Cyrus for being sheepish because that’s the whole point of fiction, baby.

I often forget how convoluted and completely unapproachable for beginner/casual fans the Pokemon type chart is. I’ve been playing Pokemon since I was like 7 years old so whenever I play Pokemon my brain just automatically does this
