“Listen here! When we crest the point ahead and spot the Urca in anchor, we’ll begin our final run at her. The Spanish banner may earn us a few hundred yards of confusion before the captain identifies us and opens fire, so we’ll close fast on her, hammer her well with our guns, and then take the fight to her decks.

That fight will be the fight of our lives, make no mistake. But on the other side, lies paradise.

I’ll see you there.”

some people’s blogs are being incorrectly flagged as explicit so if you would like to check your status, you can look it up on postlimit.com.

if you have been incorrectly marked as nsfw, you can appeal before tumblr permanently filters you as such and your blog is set back to default settings prior to december 18th here.

Thank you for this post! My blog (can you believe it, friends??) was flagged as NSFW, which might explain my recent invisibility…

I know I sometimes go over the board with sweaty wrestlers, but, really…??

Well that explains why none of my shit shows up in the tags I guess 🤷

Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations. 

yes this

most of the criticism i’ve seen of pf so far ultimately come back to this

is it an alright platform with a good community? yes. does it have a lot of potential? yes. does it have a lot of problems still being worked out? yes.  are the staff open and responsive? absolutely. do i recommend it? yes, if you’re willing to live in a house while it’s being built.

but it’s not a ready-made replacement for tumblr.  set your expectations accordingly.

‘ You think I’m never lonely because I’m so cute and popular? I can be surrounded by people and be completely alone. It’s not like any of them really know me. I don’t even know if they like me half the time. People just want to be in a popular zone. Sometimes when I talk, everyone’s so busy agreeing with me, they don’t hear a word I say.

The ship which was attacked was named the Maria Aleyne. The ship was set upon by Captain Flint and his men. And in the midst of the bloody assault, there was one particular victim, a very important man traveling under an assumed name. His name was Alfred Hamilton.

Given the lengths to which this man had gone to protect himself, the fact that he fell under Captain Flint’s sword… suggested he’d been hunted, pursued, and then executed in cold blood and with great malice aforethought. The motive unclear, but the intent apparently dark and awful, monstrous. [My father] said the act was completely incompatible with civilized society.
