There was an RSS workaround that was posted here about five or six years ago, but that method is no longer supported or no longer works? I’m hoping for some kind of work around.

I’ve done what I can with the Way Back Machine. What’s maddening is that I know the images are still there on the tumblr servers. Trying to see if I could access a larger version of the images via archive.org, I inspected the code of the page and suddenly I was seeing the same image with a tumblr url: https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwqxwhYKAi1qzg5rgo1_500.jpg HUZZAH! However this only worked the once, as now every time I try, I get the tumblr error page: “Service is temporarily unavailable. Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue. We’re sorry.”

Does tumblr resurrect data for people with a dead loved one? What exactly is the point of killing off old blogs if they keep the servers clogged with old image files? Fuck, at this point I’d pay tumblr for access, if that were an option.

Thanks.
