This is my present experience of Tumblr -- and I think it’s disgusting, revolting. It goes against my sense of aesthetics, of fairness, of decency really.
This is the opposite of an educational experience, of what I understand as a cultured one.
I have several reblogs blogs on Tumblr -- on illustration, on male ballet, etc -- and they all look crooked. I had them for references, but they are now rendered useless.
Seeing works of art banned is just unnacceptable to me. Be it centuries old sculptures, classical painitngs or historical photographies or contemporary illustrations, Tumblr has banned artists and performers for what reason?
I AM NOT appealing for reviewing any posts, not giving this staff any more work, not letting them earn their salaries being bigots.
I’m no child to ask mommy what I can or cannot see.
Because I know what I don’t want to be part of is this putrid censorship, this hypocritical sanitization, and have this broken experience so appalling.
So I am not posting anything anymore, or even reblogging.

We sometimes mine books about books to get ideas. This watercolor of the minotaur is by Edmund Dulac and was used to illustrate a volume by Nathaniel Hawthorne of adapted Greek myths called Tanglewood Tales. We have a copy of the original 1918 volume in Houghton Library.

If this picture looks so last century – it’s because it is!
After a long time, I’m returning to Greece – and I’ll be on vacations traveling for a whole month.
I intend to unplug from the internet – though taking my ipad, since I want to keep on writing. But it could be poetry, not necessarily stories.
LoSSS and this blog and replying to any comments will be on hold until then.
Hope to see all of you on my return, and catch up with your blogs.
All the best to everyone!

take a last look at me, because it has been flagged…
Seems like I have too much body hair for Tumblr? Or is it because I am exposing my nipples, oh la la...
Anyway, have a single picture of me, taken in Greece years ago, before it gets banned...
