being on here 5 years does not make you heauxes a tumblr ancient. im sorry but you have to have been here when ppl still said “creys” and “what is air” and you actually remember this cursed imaged
“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.
This website was literally so fucking stupid. You used to be able to just fucking edit somebody’s post. Like just change it entirely. Nothing was stopping you. What the fuck. Imagine logging into your youtub account and some bozo changed your funny comment to say you love being a dummy. That’s what used to happen here. Every single day.
I am so fucking mad about this @staff This fucked up, always crashing site has gotten me through so much in my life. I’ve been on tumblr since I was 15. I’m now 22. I’ve been in love, divorced, married, heartbroken, had an eating disorder, recovered, developed a new one, self harmed, been clean for 7 years now, hated my body, accepted my body. This site and all the people on it have helped me through it. Helped me find out my sexuality. Learned about safe sex and had a fucking safe space to explore and learn and grow. That involves pictures of bodies. Get a new fucking algorithm and quit trying to act progressive. You are reacting to an issue you yourself created. You are diminishing what so much of what we stand for: body- and sex-positivity. Feminism and equality. A place to discuss anything and everything. So fuck y’all. You fucked up and now you’re going to kill what we have all worked to create.
i’m slowly learning that to make a relationship last you gotta find someone who makes you want to be better in every aspect. not an unattainable need, but an urge that keeps you on your toes. for them. for you. for a future. find someone who can calm anger with a warm smile, then make sure it never goes cold. someone who can see through to anyone’s truth and instill hope. a bright light and a kind soul behind eyes that magically make me melt. you should never settle for anything less. it’s better to be alone than caught with empty feelings. we’re young, growing, learning what we need out of life. a partner should only support that and grow with you. seeing the potential and pushing each other to reach it. anyone that makes you feel any less are distractions.
