My new phone arrived today, unfortunately I was unable to gain access to the email I set this account with & as I don’t know the password I will no longer be able to post here.
I hope you will continue following my journey on my new blog:

Thank you for always being a listening kind ear when I needed it❤️
was he able to shave? is dracula still pretending to be his entire staff? has dracula tried to dracula him? i am left to ponder until our next communication…
I see that you have changed your terms of use and will no longer permit adult content. I guess you find it offensive. I could write a book in response but I will leave it with a few cogent points;
1. Why didn’t you warn all of us in advance that you were going to do this? Instead, you deleted a vast number of blogs/accounts (my NSFW blog included) with ZERO warning. The effect of that is that you denied all of us an opportunity to coordinate and find an alternative site so that we would be able to follow each other again.
2. You destroyed friendships. A lot of them. Many of us who shared the same adult interests and desires formed close bonds with other like minded adults (yeah, adults with adult interests; adults who NEVER posted kiddie porn; adults who self-policed their blogs to ensure minors did not follow us; ADULTS!!!!!). We formed friendships. We talked about our kinks to be sure but we also talked about our families, we cared about each other’s health, we celebrated milestones (birthdays, anniversaries, grieved over lost parents and rejoiced inthe birth of children). We did what NORMAL people do. We interacted socially and respectfully And in doing so, we formed lasting friendships. Some of us nurtured those friendships over a period of YEARS. BUT because you gave us no warning before you deleted our accounts and destroyed our connections, we did not have the chance to exchange email address and phone numbers. So people that we care about – and only got to know because of Tumblr – are now gone forever to us with no warning and no chance to ensure a permanence to our connections. I’ll never know how my friend Dan is doing after being diagnosed with a heart condition. I’ll never know how my friends’ babies are doing. I’ll never know a lot of things about a lot of people that I cared about. Thanks Tumblr Staff.
3. If you are so worried about offending people, think about your “recommendations”. Even though my blog was clearly marked NFSW and I repeatedly blogged about people under 18 not being permitted to follow me, you “recommended” blogs run by minors. THINK!!!!!!
4. And while I’m on the subject of your asinine recommendations, on this blog I listed that I’m interested in “Politics”. I didn’t say that I was a Democrat or a liberal or a socialist. I simply said “politics”. So what do I get? You recommend every left wing, whackadoodle on earth to me. Guess what? I happen to be a conservative Republican (leaning towards libertarian), not a socialist or a communist. Some of the stuff that you have recommended to me, I find highly offensive. Some of it has been anti-military (guess what, I’m the proud father of a Marine Corps Captain who literally has fought for your liberties). Some of it has been anti-police (guess what, I support the police and favor law and order). Some of it has been highly incendiary and offensive. And these are YOUR recommendations.
I could go on and on and on but instead I will leave you with a constructive suggestion. You should IMMEDIATELY reinstate ALL the adult content blogs that you have deleted over the past few months. (I’m not talking about blogs that posted kiddie porn; I’m talking about adult content blogs.) Then you should give us at least two months to make alternative arrangements, tie up loose ends, find our connections and exchange emails and phone numbers with those with whom we wish to remain in contact and ONLY AFTER you have done so, then you can delete our blogs. Why two months? I know that seems like a long time. But let’s face it, it is the holiday season. People are busy with end of year things. Holiday parties, Holiday cards, shopping and celebrating, vacations, etc., etc., etc. People are distracted with other things than keeping up with Tumblr’s rule changes and scrambling around to ensure continuity with their on-line friendships and export their content to an alternative site. Many people don’t even check their Tumblrs over the holidays and may not realize that their accounts are gone or at risk of being deleted and won’t find out until a month from now (after New Years). Any student of management will tell you that very little gets done at the end of the year (absent a change in law that mandates you do things before year end). So the chances that anyone would be able to make alternative arrangements in a week or two, or even a month over the holidays is a more perverted fantasy than any of the “adult” blogs have ever displayed.
Have a Heart @staff and reinstate our accounts and give us proper notice and an opportunity to arrange our affairs and alternatives properly. While you may not be legally required to comport with due process, good management and good customer relations demands it.
Please reblog this far and wide.
Hear, hear!
Even as someone who no longer considers herself a regular Tumblr user this announcement greatly saddens me. I’ve met many people through the course of running an adult blog on Tumblr and even have a few lasting relationships that have persisted to this day.
It’s a sad day indeed when a massive chunk of your community is kicked out the door with scarcely two weeks’ notice.
Not that this makes a difference to the corporate tools of a company like this. They see a problem and take the easiest most cost effective solution no matter how many innocent people are affected by such actions. This “plastic surgery” will only serve to kill the site as they try to compete with every other social media site without a special hook. Tumblr becomes another instagram clone that dies with a whimper as they applaud themselves for being so proactive.
Well this will be the end of my tumblr use I suppose… It was a pleasure meeting all of you lovely people here online and sharing the beautiful content that was here on tumblr by many wonderful people.
A couple days ago, I still had some vain hope that Tumblr will change their mind or handle this situation with grace. Now, I can’t even see my goddamn sfw profile pic (after trying the trick). This was never informed in the staff posts. I feel like a criminal. And for what? For their ads money! Yeah that’s it, Tumblr. You done goof.
I’ve noted before that my favorite punchline on Tumblr is “hang on, gotta look something up/okay that’s funny.”
Let me explain why:
It is a way to say “I don’t get it” without blaming the joke or the teller.
It is a tacit admission of ignorance without shame or judgement.
It assumes responsibility for acquiring the knowledge the respondent doesn’t already have.
It cues other people who Don’t Get It to do the look-up themselves, allowing them to get that full impact of Getting It without derailing the post with explanations.
It gives subsequent readers, whether or not THEY got the joke, a little frisson of good feelings when they realize that someone else is now In On The Joke.
It not only makes the original joke funnier, it gets funnier the more often it’s used.
“sexualizing or fantasizing about real people is bad” is still my favorite tumblr opinion
this might’ve been twitter but i’d like to remind everyone of the subsequent 400 IQ take, “you should ask people for consent before masturbating to the thought of them”
WHAT
i think i saw that tweet actually! they said specifically that witchy and spiritual people KNOW you’re getting off to them and you should ask first lmao. if that’s not projecting idk what is
this is making my brain short circuit
No. Yes we do know, i receive nasty disturbing visions out of nowhere and when i walk past them again i instantly know as well as them from their facial language. but if they are hot then yes i enjoy it and its not really bad but You Should At Least Ask Psychic Permission beforehand please…..
i would love to study you
I mean from a witchy perspective, if you know someone has fantasised about you just from walking past them, then that’s your fault for not erecting proper psychic wards. It’s not some random stranger’s responsibility to deal with you projecting your psyche everywhere
how did this post turn into this what the fuck is happening
[We pass each other on the street and my overwhelming psychic power smashes your wards like an egg. You are unable to resist my erotic fantasies about the canadian supreme court.]
…okay cancel the rest of this post please elaborate on wtf you mean by erotic fantasies about the canadian supreme court
because this image is like a barren void of sex appeal and now i’m both horrified and fascinated
