On December 17th I will be saying goodbye to TUMBLR and I’ll be deleting my blog...
I know for some this whole ban is trivial… some have only had their blogs for a short time… and some have blogs with SFW content so it might not impact them… and then there’s those out there who will be delighted by the notion of me deleting my blog and leaving this platform.
For me though… its been a punch in the gut. I started this iteration of my blog over 8 years ago, and in that time I’ve amassed almost 27 thousand followers, and I didn’t just do it through posting porn, I did it through sharing my life with you all, through posting and speaking about polyamory, through posting incredibly mixed content that somehow resonated with all of you. For me, this site is so much more than just some social network or some site to kill time and get off. For me this is a window into the world. It is a community of like-minded geeks and furry horn-dogs that I love. It is the outlet for the truest version of myself. And now its all being taken away from me, and honestly, I’m devastated.
To the 26,512 peeps that decided to click that “follow” link and to those that have stuck with me from the beginning, through drama and scandals and accusations and periods of silence… THANK YOU. Among all the fandoms, and the butts, and the jokes and memes I was able to find our two amazing partners (and one ex that I still care about, always), and I have made some of the most enduring friendships of my life. That is the real magic of Tumblr, and its something I’ve had to remind myself of several times today when I started feeling like I wasted 9+ years on this website. Tumblr changed my life, mostly for the better.
That said… I can’t keep curating a blog devoid of passion, devoid of personality. I can’t/won’t continue knowing what it was… I will not keep curating a blog that will be a husk of what it once was.
I might create a new blog for text posts only, so that I can write things at length and post them on my Twitter, a place to answer questions, talk about polyamory, etc. And I will do my best to archive/download my blog, specifically in the hopes of saving all the discussions and posts regarding polyamory, perhaps I will re-blog a nice selection of those into a new blog before deleting this one.
Anyways, that’s it for now. Maybe Tumblr will reconsider this idiocy and cancel their purge. If that happens then NEVERMIND. lol Big big hugs.
