I am a huge fan of your blog! I'm so glad that you did not disappear.

Thank you! :) I’m happy they didn’t censor me too! I’d made sure that every one of my posts that were flagged got reviewed and marked SFW before December 17th, so they should all be visible. Unfortunately, some of my reblogs are flagged and I can’t do anything about those because I’m not their OP.

I’ll take this opportunity to apologize that I haven’t been too active recently. I’m working on my senior thesis and it’s left me with no time, energy, or desire to post much on any of my blogs, unfortunately. Hopefully I’ll feel better in a few months once I get closer to finishing it.
