FINALLY

 Holy crap, finally got the python backup method to work!

If you have not backed up your tumblr and you want to, try this. It's not as hard as it sounds, but I highly highly recommend watching the video on youtube that walks you through it because, for me, that's way easier to understand and I can see what everything's supposed to look like; also, the written instructions at one point say to type in a certain thing and that didn't work for me, and the video said "hey, you can leave that word out" and when I left it out, it WORKED. 

It has some limitations, but it's the best option I've found so far that leaves you with files you can actually open and view with your web browser.

nostalgiac/historical value? or skip it?

I posted this on tumblr:
We got a little time left before the 17th and I’ve got SIX YEARS worth of posts; anyone want me to reblog stuff, just for reminiscing or archiving purposes? If yes, I’d use some easily blockable tag and run them overnight on a queue to keep from flooding your dash. But I mean… so much art, so much fandom history… Lemme know what you think. <3

I've saved everything I want to save for myself now, thank goodness, so this would just be something I'd do for other folks if they see value in it. Thoughts?
