Name Richey Beckett
Location Wales, UK

Richey Beckett is an illustrator from South Wales in the UK. He works in pen and ink, mostly on music-related design projects like album artwork, merchandise, and poster art. “For me, working with new bands, exciting new records treading fresh ground—that’s as rewarding as working for any established act because you never know where it’s going to take you and what the finished record is capable of achieving,” he says. Richey’s dark and mysterious works have been exhibited around the world, and he sells limited edition prints through his store.

Even the most amazing parents can use a little help sometimes. That’s where PBS Parents comes in. Their main site focuses on children’s development including social and emotional, physical and educational. The PBS Parents Tumblr blog, in contrast, celebrates the fun of parenthood. For example: Check out this incredible Mr. Rogers Cake, these pun-tastic vintage Valentine’s Day cards, and this helpful infographic on Types of Diaper Loads. Also, there are cute baby pics.

Name Every Hall of Famer
Location Austin, TX

Summer Anne Burton is drawing a picture of every member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s 295 drawings, each studded with annotations, stats, and quotes, in the order they were inducted. Starting last year with Ty Cobb, who was inducted in 1936, today she’s up to 1978 with Eddie Mathews. Summer got the idea after posting drawings of baseball players on her blog. As she told ESPN.com, “I had some old Astros programs that my grandmother found in her garage and gave to me, so I started drawing all these old Astros players I’d never heard of before, and I got really into it. And then it hit me as a fully formed idea: I’m just gonna draw every Hall of Famer.” Summer also enjoys bad TV, good books, and tacos.

Follow-up: Tumblr’s New Policy Against Pro-Self-Harm Blogs

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:23:37 -0400

staff:

Last Thursday, we posted a draft of a new policy against blogs that actively promote self-harm, along with some PSA-style language to appear next to searches associated with self-injury. The reaction was overwhelming. The post itself provoked more than 25,000 likes, reblogs, and replies; and more than 2,500 of you sent in comments by email. Thank you.

By far, the most common comment was some variation on this:

This is really great, but what about people who just talk about it? They aren’t promoting it in any way, but like some of us just express ourselves through posting about it. I don’t promote self-harm or eating disorders or anything, but I do talk about my experiences with these things. Do those count as something that’s going to be banned?

That’s an important concern, so we want to be totally clear: While we won’t allow blogs dedicated to triggering self-harm, we will not act against blogs engaged in discussion, support, encouragement, and documenting the experiences of those dealing with difficult conditions like anorexia, bulimia, and other forms of self-injury. We absolutely want Tumblr to be a place where people struggling with these behaviors can find solace, community, dialog, understanding, and hope.

We will apply this policy on a blog-by-blog basis. There won’t be any wholesale suspension based on tags or text. We’re not under the illusion that it will be easy to draw the line between blogs that are intended to trigger self-harm and those that support sufferers and build community, but, thanks to the tireless efforts of our amazing Support team, we will do our best.

With the benefit of all your input, we’ve written a new draft of this policy, changing some wording and adding some clarifying language:

Promotion and Glorification of Self-Harm. Don’t post content that actively promotes or glorifies self-harm. This includes content that urges or encourages readers to cut or injure themselves; embrace anorexia, bulimia, or other eating disorders; or commit suicide rather than, e.g., seeking counseling or treatment, or joining together in supportive conversation with those suffering or recovering from depression or other conditions. Dialogue about these behaviors is incredibly important and online communities can be extraordinarily helpful to people struggling with these difficult conditions. We aim to sustain Tumblr as a place that facilitates awareness, support and recovery, and to remove only those blogs that cross the line into active promotion or glorification of self-harm.

In addition, we got some helpful suggestions from the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) to improve the language that we’ll start showing alongside searches for tags associated with the promotion of self-harm, such as “pro-ana”, “pro-mia”, “thinspiration” and “thinspo”. Here’s an example of the revised language:

Eating disorders are not lifestyle choices, they are mental disorders that when left untreated, can cause serious health problems, and at their most severe can even be life-threatening. For treatment referrals, information and support, please contact the National Eating Disorders Association’s Helpline at 1-800-931-2237 or www.nationaleatingdisorders.org.

We’re working with other health organizations to help us craft similar language around pro-cutting and pro-suicide search terms.

After the jump, we’ve pulled out several thoughtful messages from the community on both sides of this issue:

One of the most popular book-related blogs on Tumblr, Slaughterhouse 90210 is a perfect marriage of high and low culture. Editor Maris Kreizman pairs screencaps from beloved (and reviled) television shows with befittingly suited quotes from literature. It’s where Kurt Vonnegut meets Brenda Walsh, Oscar Wilde meets Arrested Development, and Snooki meets Somerset Maugham. This classic Tumblr celebrates its three-year anniversary this week.
