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!

Genesis 32:22-31New International Version (NIV) Jacob Wrestles With God 22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. 28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” 29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there. 30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.” 31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip.
I like to read in a bed, And on a beach. I like to read On a lumpy sofa, And in a bus, Whilst eating a peach!
I like to read on a fence, And in a cave. I like to read In a sail boat, And in the Sears Tower! See the lake's wave, wave, wave!
Where do you (usually) read?
Do you have a favourite spot, or maybe two?
Now, I know we are all bibliophiles, and that we will read absolutely anywhere, but if you are anything like me, then you certainly have favourite places to curl up with a book.
Mine are very similar - my bed, and the bed in my library. It’s technically a spare bedroom, but it has all of my books lining it’s walls, so we call it The Library.
So, let me know yours! I’ll create a masterpost in a week or so…
Beautiful effect! It's like a painting.
A little bookstack on my couch.
Currently I am reading “Poetry and the Fate of the Senses” by Susan Stewart, “Love’s Labor's Lost” by William Shakespeare, “Shakespeare: the Biography” by Peter Ackroyd, “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau, and “Vintage Greene: Collected Essays” by Graham Greene.
This is, by the way normal for me. I can’t stick with one book at a time.
What are you reading right now?
You know me - always curious as to what you guys are reading. So… whatcha reading? Replies enabled!
