It was “Tumblr is killing us!” and now it’s “We ♥ Tumblr”

Why am I so amused by this?

Perfect.

HEY TUMBLR, LET’S PLAY A GAME

To play this game, go to MapCrunch, select “hide location”, make sure you have all countries unselected, and click go. What this will do is drop you in a random part of the world. It’s as if you woke up on the side of a road in an unfamiliar country. The goal of the game is to find your way to an airport so you can return home.

Bonus Hard Mode: No using outside sources, and that includes using google maps to figure out your location from signs or landmarks

currently doing this

i’m on some motorway in the middle of bumfuck nowhere

no idea where i am

i’m scared

guys

I just tried it and somehow ended up about 2 minutes away from my dads village. OK then…

A Note from John and Hank

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:22:24 +0000

edwardspoonhands:

Yesterday, a web site reported that YouTuber and musician Mike Lombardo was under investigation for exchanging explicit images with underage fans of his music. Some of Mike’s music has been released through DFTBA Records, a record company we own, we’ve been friendly with him over the three years we’ve known him, and many of Mike’s fans are part of the nerdfighter community. (Mike himself, on several occasions, took pains to point out that he, himself, was not a nerdfighter, for whatever that’s worth.)

Obviously, we were distressed to learn about this, and quickly removed Mike’s page from DFTBA, partly because we don’t want to make any money from this sort of publicity and partly because we didn’t feel it appropriate to continue our business relationship given the situation. (For the past year, Mike has released his music through other web sites, but until today we still sold some of his older work.)

In thinking about this terrible situation, it’s important to remember that no one has been charged with a crime, and that we don’t (and can’t and shouldn’t) know the full story. Crimes are investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement and the judicial system, not by Tumblr. It’s also very important never to blame victims in situations of sexual abuse and assault. We’ve seen very little of that in the conversations about this in our community, and we’re very glad of that, but it bears repeating.

Sadly, some people feel as if their trust in our community has been violated. For most of us, nerdfighteria has always been a place where it’s safe to be nerdy and enthusiastic and *yourself*. For all of us, this has been a reminder that communities—online and off—can never truly be insulated from difficult and painful and reprehensible realities.

The respect that creators are given by their communities is something we consider sacred. It should never be taken advantage of or violated. Seeing that happen has been very painful for us.

However, we have also been stunned by the way this community has come together to support the people affected. As we remained in silent shock last night, it was so inspiring to watch healthy discussions, messages of love, and intelligent thoughts spread across our community. That’s why we could never lose faith in Nerdfighteria, not because bad things never happen, but because people stay strong and loving and supportive and thoughtful in the face of it.

Thank you for being all that you are.

John and Hank

One thing to say about this right now:

Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:11:08 +0000

melissaanelli:

So there’s this thing online now about Mike Lombardo. You can read about it here.

I want to echo the main things being said:

A) Anyone who tries to blame the (at this point still alleged) victims should check themselves, redirect themselves, and never talk to me ever. It does not matter what they wore, said, did, intended, did not intend, nothing: minors are not to blame, period.

B) This is still an investigation. No charges, no conviction. That means there is the slim possibility still that this is all a horrible mistake. If that is the case, we will report that honestly too.

But here is what prompts me to make a post about something I intended to stay fully silent about:

I have seen a couple of people say that this is a PRIVATE ISSUE.

No.

Absolutely not.

In so many ways not. Not even a little.

This is not only NOT a private issue, it is an issue of public safety. The names of the victims, excess details of the case, no, there is no need to make that public. But this is not and never will be something that is not fair game for people to discuss, take safeguards against, concern themselves with, be preoccupied about. It is, and it should. This is not a case where you say to yourself, “whatever happened there is not my business.” It IS. It absolutely IS. If you are a minor, think about what this means for you, when people approach you. If you are a parent, think about how to safeguard your child. And I don’t mean in the abstract: that this is going on is important, and relevant. It is a legitimate public safety concern, one that already has me making further plans for events. No one I have talked to about this today has taken this in the slightest bit lightly, nor should they. And no one has said “it’s not my business.”

It is. We are part of a community where this is possible. Let’s face it: it is possible. It very likely has happened. Don’t feel the need to judge, but DO feel the need to learn about the public details, think about how to help encourage a world where this is less possible than it was five minutes ago, and help safeguard minors from sexual predators.

It is important. It is not a private matter to be ignored or hushed up.

I think my recent tweets sum up my feelings on this issue.

Don’t agree with me? Read this report of just exactly what we’re all brushing under the carpet (SERIOUS trigger warning).

This article presents a more eloquent point of view that I agree with
