Soup.io… kinda works, sorta, TypePad costs money, and Jux has been defunct since 2013.

But can you really argue that Jux doesn’t offer a more beautiful blogging experience than Tumblr? At the very least, there’s no autoplaying ads on the site

What about rss? Tumblr blogs automatically publish to rss feeds, so you could be able to just subscribe and see all your content ad free. It does however become more complicated to like and reblog posts, and to use the messaging feature you still have to visit the dashboard. In any case if I switch to a different platform it will be email blasts, but I just don't have the popularity to make it work yet. Every other platform is based on the same model of providing a service ad free until a sufficient userbase is formed to monetize.

Im going to start posting stuff here again :) Here are some images of "painting parties" Imagine yourself an essay about this "cultural phenomenon"! Or don't!
