im sick and tired of men complaining about women being afraid of them like i DO NOT CARE if it hurts your feelings when a girl crosses the street to get further away from you!!! we hear how men talk about us! we see how men treat us! well stop being scared of men when they stop being so fucking scary!

some angels are elegant and graceful in their every move. some angels radiate divinity and have a hum of heaven beneath their every word.

some angels are clumsy and dreamy. some angels appear soft and offer a gaze kinder than youve ever seen.

I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search. 

Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog* 

*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. 
Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat. 

I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing: 

1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month)
2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog)
3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it)
4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not)
5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)

**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted. 

So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes. 

P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything. 

this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.

For people who want to use Dreamwidth, but are totally confused about how it works!

What is Dreamwidth?

• Dreamwidth is a social media platform founded in 2009 after Strikethrough
• It’s made out of a heavily-modified version of Livejournal code
• It’s based around producing your own original content, and seeing original content other people post
• The site is owned and run by fans and aims to provide creative people with an Internet home

Getting around your account

• Your journal is like your “home”. It’s where you keep your stuff. It’s got different parts:
  • Recent Entries: View your posts in chronological order
    • (yourusername.dreamwidth.org)
  • Profile: Your “about” page
    • (yourusername.dreamwidth.org/profile)
  • Archive: See your posts as a calendar
    • (yourusername.dreamwidth.org/archive)
  • Tags: See all the tags you’ve used and go to their posts
    • (yourusername.dreamwidth.org/tag)
  • Memories: Like the “Likes” feature on Tumblr
• You also have a “Reading” page (yourusername.dreamwidth.org/read)
  • This is like your Tumblr dash
  • It’s where you read entries from your “circle”, the people and communities you’re subscribed to
  • You can customize it a lot with filters and control who you see when
• You also have a “Network” page (yourusername.dreamwidth.org/network)
  • This is where you see posts from everyone that everyone in your circle subscribes to
  • It’s a great way to discover new stuff and also learn what awful taste some of your circle members have

Finding new things

• Listing an Interest in your profile is like getting listed in the phonebook. This is opt-in, choosing to say, “Yes! I’m really into this thing! Consider me a person who blogs about it!
• Content Search is the more powerful way to search through the blog of everyone who’s opted into it, so you can look for everyone who’s posting about a certain thing right now. However, you’ll have to wade through a lot more junk.
• Communities are Dreamwidth’s social hubs. They’re places where a lot of people can share content they’re interested in and talk to each other. Unlike Tumblr tags, they’re managed by specific people and have rules, so people behaving badly can get kicked out.
• Latest Things is a direct firehose of EVERYTHING PUBLICLY POSTED TO THE SITE, HOMG

Privacy controls?! That’s a thing?!

• You get to choose who sees your posts! You can make your posts public, private, or “locked”, which means only people you’ve added to your access list can read them
• When you add a new person to your circle you can choose to subscribe to them, to make their posts show up on your Reading page, and/or to grant access, which lets them see your locked posts. You can do one, the other, or both!
• Likewise, communities can make posts viewable to members only.
• You can also create custom access filters, to allow only some of your access list to see a post.
• Banning someone means they cannot leave you comments or send you messages. There are more advanced tweaks to make sure they never show up on your reading page if they post to a community you subscribe to, or remove them from the comments on a post.

Comments

• The comments to a post are where the real fun happens.
• Comments are sent to the email of whoever you’re replying to. They’re a real conversation. You’re not shouting into the void–you’re talking back directly to the post’s originator and other commenters.
• You can edit your comment so long as it hasn’t been replied to, and you can delete your own comments.
• The originator of the post, and administrators if it’s a community, can delete threads, or “freeze” them, leaving them intact but preventing anyone from replying to them.

You will add new skills to your resume

• Dreamwidth leaves a lot more “backend” open so you can customize your experience to a huge degree. However, this means learning or using coding languages like HTML and CSS
• The comment box on entries does not have a built-in text editor, so you will have to add your own HTML if you want to add <i>italic</i>, <b>bold</b>, or <a href=“http://websiteurl.com”>links</a>.
• There are lots of cheat sheets and informative guides around, like HTML on Dreamwidth and Dreamwidth-specific markup tags

I promise I’ll stop reblogging DW Stuff soon, but this is very useful!
