And all of that will probably be wiped out by Tumblr’s new rules about explicit content, starting December 17. Even if there is absolutely no visible genitals on this blog, half of my content has already been flagged explicit by Tumblr.
This blog will probably cease to exist as it is after Tumblr’s new policy implementation.
I don’t have any words to express how much this makes me sad, any words but… Thank you. Thank you all for your support during those amazing 6 years.
I don’t know what will comes next, if we are going to find an other platform, or, well, trying to make a real independent website. But it’ll never be the same without you, your comments, your posts. Without all of Tumblr’s amazing community. I backuped all my content, now, well, we just have to wait…
If you want to thank, or support me, one last time
Tumblr has decided it no longer wants me to be part of its world. To stay would require I accept service terms that deem female-presenting nipples as obscene and queer art as offensive. I will not be complicit in Verizon’s “full-frontal” attack on women’s bodies, sex workers and the LGBT+ community.
This blog consisted of historic tales related to works of art along with images of diverse people (perhaps naked or partly so) and contemporary photography that emphasized feminist and queer perspectives. Sometimes I tried to offer a clever pun and once came up with a slightly-successful meme about the Pythagorean theorem.
That which seemed innocuous enough a year ago has now been transformed by Verizon into something dangerous. Tumblr originated with a promise to welcome people seeking companionship as they traveled paths previously unexplored. Yes, some of what these adventurers found was not safe for work, but that wasn’t the problem, not really. The ideas they encountered, and the ways they found of expressing those ideas, turned out not to be safe for corporate and socially conservative elements of the American state. That is why they are being suppressed.
I have sought shelter from the storm, taken my pen and gone home. Perhaps someday a refuge will emerge where I can reestablish this blog, but on the whole I am pessimistic. In the meantime, if you wish to find me, I sometimes check email at caseylorne [at] hush [dot] com.
Anyone else gonna post dick, ass, and titties like crazy before December 17th? Same…hell I’ve never posted a nude before but this makes me want to just to rebel
I posted something about this the other day and never got a response:
Is everyone really dipping out of Tumblr? Not that I’d blame anyone but
I’ve been a user for around 7 years now and this was literally my late childhood years. Tumblr is truly (or at least was) one of the last decent social media sites.
It’s sad that so many of its users are not only being deleted, but everyone’s quitting.
If they don’t revoke this censorship by Dec 17, I’m outta here. I’m usually not this drastic and would hate to abandon blogs that I just started reviving, but I’m not willing to support a site that stifles our elementary rights without even consuting us.
Well, it’s been a good ride, but it appears Tumblr has finally decided to commit harikari. Backup your stuff while you can. I use this name on Reddit & Twitter and anywhere else.I’ll see you around.
I’ll be deleting my account after the first of the year. Fuck you, Tumblr.
Update: oh, this is Apple’s doing. Cooooool. Well then.
Shout out to all you abuse survivors who are warring with “freedom of expression and speech!!!” and “thank God maybe i won’t be so triggered on this hellsite anymore”
Why the fuck tags don’t work on posts which doesn’t even hint at nsfw? Does anybody have the same problem and maybe you have an idea how to solve this shit?
My god am I in tumblr’s personal black list or what I don’t know
