Hello my lovelies,
First off, I apologise for the [much needed, mental health-wise] hiatus I took rather suddenly, with zero notice whatsoever. I do realise I am not obligated to apologise nor explain that bit, but I feel I owe it to you. I have been deeply, morbidly, incapacitatingly depressed. Then, about a month later [about a week ago] I received an email from tumblr saying one of my posts had been flagged with a link to review/appeal it. I followed said link and found that my E N T I R E blog had been classified “explicit.” If you can see this, thank goodness. I’m currently appealing/contesting the classification of my blog as “explicit” [which, even if you’re new here, I think you’ll agree is ludicrous, inexplicable, illogical, etc]. I’m not giving up hope for the reinstatement of over eight years of my life - love, energy, time, effort, sweat, tears, etc. None of the aforementioned is exaggeration. I would be devastated to lose this creative outlet and this vessel of empathy and communication with you I’ve established here. But, it has been nearly a week and I’ve yet to hear back from tumblr support... a human, that is. If any of you darlings have any advice, or just wish to sound off/check in/say hi, please, please reply to this. I am always glad to hear from you. I’ll always be infinitely fond of all of you, sincerely. If the worst happens, please go to anexceptionalthief.tumblr.com and wait to hear from me... then again, they might delete all of my blogs. I have no idea. I digress. So many of you have been here for longer than I can think, I can’t imagine tumblr [or life itself] without you. I appreciate every single one of you. I love a good few of you as well. You’ve renewed my belief in the overwhelmingly good qualities in humanity and I am unfathomably grateful for that. Thank you all from the bottom of my charred, wounded, gradually healing heart. May this journey continue. - Marty xx
