“Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature
adult content.”
This? In particular? Pisses me off. I hate it.
I hate the implication that all porn is interchangeable and devoid of cultural value, so it’s no big deal when a decade’s worth of creative endeavor produced by a vibrant subculture is destroyed, because, whatever, it’s just dirty pictures.
I hate the disingenuous inability to see a distinction between a website that is about porn only, and a website that allows people to blog about all of their interests and aspects of their lives including sex and porn because those are normal parts of the human experience.
It’s the most tone-deaf bullshit.
This is my first real fandom space despite being a tumblr old, but I still understand the purges. When I lost my LiveJournal I lost all my personal posts of every private journal entry I’d made along the journey from frustrated housewife to fulfilled polyamorous teacher, every scene I’d ever had with my Master as well as processing the first Sir I had (who turned out not just to have a dick but to be dick, which is a whole other story I had processed there). The terror and delight at finding my way back to submission. Every scene I ever topped in was written up in there as well as every time I submitted and let go. The weeks of waiting for our gf to get her STI screenings from her doctor so we could really play. I still have my memories of those times, but without much clarity because the intersection of ADD with anxiety and depression means that my memory is pretty sucky. When I read those entries, I could for a moment be back in the exact headspace I was when I wrote them. Good for most of those things, not so great for the posts I wrote when in a self-harm space, but nonetheless I do miss being able to read all these things sometimes. However, I have gone on to build other things. I am sad but I am also resigned. if this all blows away, I will rebuild somewhere new.
@staff Give us a blocking system that works. Take down the porn bots, the white supremacist blogs and the child porn. Give us a reporting system that actually has some oversight. There are so many things you could do.
But instead we’re just gonna say nipples are bad and trans* content is NSFW, right?
This.
Tumblr is my home and I’m really bothered right now. I love the communities we’ve created. I love the support I’ve found from other fans and artists. I post a lot of nsfw images because they inspire my writing or I find them beautiful.
I will likely maintain my blog and post content that is within the new user policies. A lot of what I post these days is a mix of political and fiction anyway.
I am beltainefaerie everywhere else you can find me.
I have a discord, (but I am rarely on it.)
I’ve tried twitter (and I find the format challenging).
I have a facebook, but that is where my family hang out so cannot merge with the aspects of myself I show in fandom.
My AO3 is usually where I post fic anyway, but as long as they let me link it here I’ll keep doing that.
You can also email me at beltainefaerie@gmail.com. Just copy and paste. No one can ever spell it. (Sorry for picking something so complicated as my consistent handle.)
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count’nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.
i wanna translate this into icelandic so imma do it
Sólin skein, björt og gullin við fæðingu Þórs á stígnum við Taco Bell Þar lá Loki
The amount of quality going into these shitposts is amazing
This is not shitposting, this is transformative work!
This is one of the most quality things I’ve ever seen on any media
Good job crew
I am CRYING in absolute AWE I LOVE ALL OF YOU
Sorry I’n not posting much and behind in some of my betaing for y’all. We’ve just stared school and the 1st graders are sucking all my energy just like they’re supposed to. It will settle down soon. *hugs*
Tumblr, your ad algorithm is broken. Searching for “military kink” does not mean I want to see ads related to applying for VA benefits.
