A small sampling of the ingenious architectural illustrations by you will find on the tumblr of Fer Neyra, an architecture student from Argentina. Bonus points for having Latin American architecture proudly represented in his work.
No seas gil! Check out this tumblr!
As you know, art and artists make Tumblr what it is. We want everyone on Tumblr to be able to fully express themselves while also having control over what they encounter on their dashboards. That’s why we’re introducing Community Labels, an extension to your “Content you see” settings. Our ultimate goal is to create a more open Tumblr, and this is our first step in that direction.
As a poster and reblogger, Community Labels are your way to help your followers avoid anything they’d rather not come across on their dashboards.
As a follower, setting your content preferences is a way to adjust your feed to your own comfort levels.
How does it work?
When creating new posts (or editing old posts), you’ll see controls allowing you to label your post as unsuitable for those filtering certain content types it contains.
When content is labeled, it will either be hidden, blurred, or displayed normally, based on each user’s preferences.
In your “Content you see” settings, you can now choose to show, blur, or hide content that depicts the following topics:
Some examples of content that would require a community label:
This doesn’t change our content policies: spam, hate content, and porn bots are still not welcome in the community. It’s also still important that we abide by app store rules, which means we need to make sure that mature content is only accessible to people who are old enough and have opted in to view that type of content. More information about Community Labels is available in the Help Center.
This is an opportunity to work towards a richer, more nuanced Tumblr experience while making sure everyone who enjoys using Tumblr can do so safely. That future we mentioned above? We’re already moving towards it.
Ok, didn’t everyone want “females presenting nipples” back on Tumblr? Here you are. This is it.
@jv So to be clear, is erotic fanart now allowed back on Tumblr so long as you classify the post appropriately?
Yup. That’s the idea.
I think there may be some limitations (not being able to blaze it and stuff like that and don’t ask me for clarification because I’m out of the water on this 😁), but yeah, it’s allowed as soon as it’s labelled!
NO FUCKING WAY
The Sacrifice is a short 5 part original sci-fi romance comic written by @audieoddity for the Webtoons Short Story competition.
The story features young astrophysicist Moira Cattaneo, chosen to be a representative of humanity when a mysterious 27,000ft tall monolith appears outside of a small village.
Moira is teleported to a dimension beyond belief, where she meets a being like no other. The story touches on the timelessness of life, death, and love.

If you like the story, make sure to like and comment on it! I personally thought the story was very sweet and I loved the unique character design.
Flower-shop, Brussels, designed by Paul Hankar, XIX century.
This is literally the perfect, most fitting sort of thing to put in the window of an Art Nouveau front like this. One of the things I enjoyed about Brussels was the Art Nouveau architecture- not something you see in Britain much.
oh my
More Solarpunk inspiration images!! To recap: some of the defining features of how I imagine solarpunk are: Art Nouveau + other old styles of architecture and fashion, stained-glass solar panels, sustainable-energy-powered tech, lots of inner-city gardening, and lots of streetcars.
Okay, on to image credits:

I really wish I could draw my own cityscapes, but alas, I am no artist. Instead I have to comb the internet, searching for “close enough.”
Maybe someday I’ll have the disposable income to commission artists to draw pieces that are intentionally solarpunk….. Someday….
Hailing from Yokohama, Japan, Takanori Aiba creates “dimensional” works of art combining his knowledge and past experience in maze illustration and architectural work. Aiba incorporates the traditional technique and aesthetic approach that is similarly found in the art of Bonsai grooming.

From the Artist:
Architecture is the environment inside which we spend our lives; it inhabits the landscapes we travel through. Like architecture, furniture is designed around the space of the body; the difference is one of scale.
Working at the intersection between the space of the body and that of architecture I seek to enliven our awareness of the spaces where we live and re-examine the objects we associate with.
Objects can tell us a story about those who made and used them. Adopting these stories, each piece gives that history a literal and proverbial home.
In this work, every intervention draws a measure of its design from the object itself; referencing vernacular architecture, model making, sheds, tree houses, bridges and other structures. Separating themselves from the world of functional buildings through change of scale and context the works reveal and celebrate the logic of stick-frame construction.

Pulp sci-fi illustration by Italian artist, Aldo Di Gennaro (b. 1938).
This is probably the most culturally important thing I’ll ever seen in my lifetime if I’m being honest. I want this affixed over my mantle, embroidered into my denim, and emblazoned into my flesh so that generations to come may never forget this 1938 gem of an illustration. Put this on my gravestone and name my children after Alfo Di Gennaro. This is what it’s all about.
Artist was obviously a leg man, but I have never seen a female alien love interest designed as THIS alien before. She’s uniquely hairy, bugged-eyed, lines would indicate at least a partial exoskeleton, she has escaped being saddled with the mammories that a non-mammal being would not have, yet she’s got it bad for Space Force Leatherhead and he is so into her. I can practically hear his prose of her cabochon eyes of nebula violet, glowing with the passion to know and be known, in the starlight. The green of her body turning more vivid as discovery (and carnal knowledge) consume her conscious mind.
To suggest a red-blooded, human man could love Greedo’s cousin? Desire her??
This is fantastic, in every sense. How many lives did this change forever?
The architecture in Columbus is super gorgeous and they have a lot of brick streets and I parallel parked without killing anyone
