Ugh, Tumblr, are you done with this dumb banning gay shit yet?

Remember when AOL banned the word "breast" until women with breast cancer complained? I put you in that camp.

Last tumblr entry until this gets solved in a reasonable way.

Tumblr's insistence on making porn less searchable - as well as its homophobic decision to remove the word "gay" from working searches - means I can't keep using it.  I really don't care if it puts their app in jeopardy with apple, they could, if they wanted to, find a better solution than censorship.  You have a company full of bright, thoughtful people, and their response to threats from apple is "ban the word gay from mobile searches!" they're really not trying that hard.

These are not Apple issues - Apple's project is much broader and it's engagement with censorship is one embedded in a broader social current of sex-negativity.  Tumblr's decisions are their own.  They could have worked, as many apps do, toward better and smarter solutions to deal with Apple compliance.

Once tumblr finds a reasonable solution that isn't based on censorship or homphobia, I'll be back.  Later.

Creation . . . it says: I remember everything simultaneously: Like the distant beam of a distant lighthouse, I carry the universe before me Like an easy burden on an outstretched palm, And in the depths, mysteriously growing, is the seed Of what is to come . . .

"Creation" by Anna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966), poet.

…your conceptions of what myths are and what practical functions they served for Native Americans is probably wrong - especially if you have read or seen on television popular descriptions of ‘primitive myths’ by ‘experts’ like Mircea Eliade or Joseph Campbell, or some more recent and less famous pundits peddling misinformation through terms like ‘universal symbol’ or ‘archetype.’

Karl Kroeber (1926 - 2009), literary and Native American studies scholar.  From the intro to the excellent work (edited by him) Native American Storytelling.  Kroeber is also the brother of writer Ursula K. Le Guin.

It might be true that the sun rises regularly because he never gets tired of rising. His routine might be due, not to a lifelessness, but to a rush of life.

The Kybalion by the Three Initiates is one of the most complete reference books for occult principles available.  It details the seven universal laws,

Mentalism

Correspondence

Vibration

Polarity

Rhythm

Cause and Effect

Gender

"The All creates mentally," states The Kybalion, and from there, details the universe.  It’s easy to read, funny at times, and profound.  A friend of mine, deeply involved in the occult, once said to me, “If I had to give away all the occult books I own except for one, I’d keep The Kybalion, because all the information in the other books is condensed in there."

I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

Helen Keller - aside from overcoming great challenges in the forms of deafness and blindness, Keller was a Swedenborgian mystic, a socialist, and an amazing writer.  

One of my favorite books by her, a short book of essays entitled The World I Live In, is breathtaking.
