Saw a post on Instagram say over communication is a form of begging and, honestly, I needed to see that

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

The fine line between wanting to say so much and knowing that it's better to say nothing.

Growth is choosing not to reopen a door that cost you your peace to close.

”Explain yourself” followed by “stop making excuses” has always baffled me because the fuck you think explaining myself is????

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification

UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents

Apple App Store Age Verification

These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.

Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.

If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.

Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.

I have an incredible need for nasty, vocal sex where we both talk each other through it. I need to hear your voice just as badly as I need you to hear mine.
