The Official “Log Off” Protest F.A.Q! 

The “Log Off” protest is in response to the recent NSFW ban announced by Tumblr. The ban flags all content the filtering system detects as NSFW, reducing visibility to the community. The system has proven time and time again that is inefficient, oftentimes flagging SFW material as NSFW. 

This SFW material includes art, memes and so on. This ban directly hurts the community and will not solve the actual problems at hand due to the poor flagging system. Because of this, the entire community will suffer.  

So to respond, I propose that every user on Tumblr logs off of Tumblr for 24 hours on December 17th at 12 am EST. 

Times are listed above depending on timezone! 

This post responds to some very common questions about the protest. So make sure to read it over!

Hello everyone!

Sooo, this is going to be my first post and just to warn everyone: I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing here. And to be honest, right now is probably the worst time ever to start posting something. Because right now, I'm sitting at my desk (I've been sitting here the entire day actually), learning for a Japanese Language Test that I will have to take next week and I'm really, really tired. Am I Japanese? No, I'm a student from Germany, currently in my first semester of Japanese studies at the University of Heidelberg. My second subject is English Literature.

Also I'm a huge fan of Star Trek, especially of the Original Series and the new movies from J.J. Abrams. I guess my mom kind of infected me with her love for it. When she was young, it was a real appointment for her, her parents and her brothers to gather in front of the TV every afternoon to watch Star Trek on German TV. She often jokes that this passion has to be something that you can genetically pass on to your child. 

Now, what else is there to know about me? Hm, I like horses, although I had a pretty bad accident two years ago and I'm currently just trying to overcome my fear of actually riding horses, because I really love spending time in the stables and I also think that it's extremely important to try and battle your fears or else they will always restrain your life in some ways.

I really don't think, my posts are going to be that interesting, but hey, it's something new, that I've never tried before and I'm certainly going to try to have fun. So, yeah, I think that's it basically. We're going to see, where this path leads to. :D

I’m extremely honored and glad to be able to call you a friend, @missbamf. Being able to get into closer contact with you has been one of the greatest highlights of the past year and the fact that you actually allowed me to try and translate the one fanfic that means so much to you personally, is seriously one of the most amazing opportunities I’ve received in my life so far. Thank you, for being such an amazing person and friend!

so this was made for me by my friend, @quietoceanlove, and I just want to express how kind and caring she’s been to me. She seriously accepts all forms of me, and has always stuck by me, inspired me, and made me feel like a true friend. I cherish her existence, patience, basically her entire soul, so much. In addition to her, @silfreya, @vulcankisseshuman, @underaswift-sunrise, @sincerearray, @cuddlesjohn, @wefreyame, @kirkspocker and @ze-ma-yesh…thank you for being great friends and amazing people. I love you all. i cherish you all, you’re all so talented and caring, your tolerance of other people and fandoms inspires me, and if I haven’t let you know, I’m letting you know now

A comic strip I made showing the difference between people who get Star Trek and those who don’t.

A version for tumblr that can be read without opening a new tab, since plenty of people would scroll past this story otherwise.
