I dont think I’ll be moving anywhere else after this.
Tumblr provided the right amount of anonymity for me and making the move to Twitter makes me super nervous.
So, it was a good run I guess. This blog helped me grow so much self confidence and I’m so sad it’s all over.
I’ll probably post a shit ton of my favorite photos before I go.
Bye <3
It’s so sad watching the community here fall apart. I’ve been here so long, maybe too long. I’ve seen people come and go, and honestly I haven’t been all that pro- or inter- active for a while but it hurts my heart to see people scrambling to find a new safe place to share their work, their bodies, themselves.
Having this blog, and being part of this community, has changed my life forever. I am a happier person because of it. I am more secure in my body and my sexuality. I am more educated in issues of gender, identity, kink and sexuality, and so many other topics than I would have been otherwise.
It hurts my heart to see so many sex workers who have made their living through tumblr have the rug pulled from under of them. It’s a precarious enough way to make a living without having a huge platform pulled from under your feet. If you have the cash, I’d urge you to reach out and support a sex worker in the next couple of weeks.
I’ve made a lot of friends through tumblr. Some are gone, some are still here, and I know that this change means there are some I will never talk to again. We’re all going to go our own way, to the next platform we feel safe in. I think I’m going to revive my instagram account, at least for a while. In the meantime I’ll keep this blog running until it’s put down.
Take care of yourselves, you beautiful perverts.
Now that Tumblr is going to end. I want to say, allowing myself to post my naked body was a large part of what helped me love my body, seeing other people post their bodies allowed me to see that bodies really are different, that we are really limited in what human bodies actually look like. It is a sad day for the exploration of self, through a visual medium. Now where can I share my naked body openly, freely and without shame?
