    Dear Tumblr,

    Tumblr staff, I want you to know that I love my wife. She’s the one for me without a doubt. That being said, for the last year and a half our relationship has gone to a new level of openness and sexual fulfillment. We found Tumblr, set up separate accounts and used it as a tool to show each other more about ourselves. We learned more about each other’s sexuality in 18 months than we had in 8 years because of the openness and atmosphere of your app. For us, this app isn’t about exploiting people or trying to hook up or finding pleasure elsewhere. It’s about using information and finding friends that encourage us to grow together and become stronger partners. I’m disappointed in your decision to ban the content that so many people have used to grow and even learn how to be comfortable with who they are. It’s easy to be angry and send memes and make fun of this decision, but in the end it’s sad. It’s disheartening that your knee jerk decision is shutting down this community that thrives within itself and really doesn’t press its views on anyone else.

    What he said!👆🏻

    🙌🏼

    Exactly

    Bingo!

    💞💞 All of this!!

    Well said! Will miss sharing things with my husband on here as well. 😢

    I am creating a free public online-directory (https://www.wasima.ch) for all nude content creators (photographers, models, illustrators…) where you can tell the people where to find you and your work and place links to your alternatives (your Patreon, website, Instagram etc.) and describe your work in a searchable database for your (ex-)tumblr name, profession, location, and the tags you add

    - free listing, free access
    - ssh servers and database in Switzerland
    - creators only
    (photographers, models, illustrators, sex-workers etc.)

    Please send an email to extumblr@wasima.ch

    to receive details (no subject or text needed, you’ll receive an automated response).

    Add extumblr@wasima.ch address to your contacts. If you don’t see the response within a few minutes please check your spam-folder and mark it as “not spam”. Especially gmail most probably will consider my mail as spam and I cannot change that…

    I am Daniel Bauer, Swiss nudes photographer, and this is my personal project to make it possible that the creators that are banned from showing their nude work on tumblr can also be found in future. It will also help to find Patreon-Pages that are excluded from Patreons own search facility because of adult content.

    The directory will go online before the end of this year. Send your email to be informed when you can enter your details.

    Privacy:

    Your email address will be used exclusively and only for the purpose of this online-directory. It is not yet an entry to the database, you simply register to receive the information when the site is ready to receive your entry. Your email will not be shared with third parties of any kind. Guaranteed no spam! Your registering is without any obligation. You can always opt out by sending an email to optout-extumblr@wasima.ch from your corresponding email address and your address will be removed from the list of interested people.

    Please share! Thank you.

    I’m going to check this out as another outlet for Capitalist Tools Artworks

    “The end result, though, is that companies and governments are changing how users get to express themselves on the Internet. The multi-billion dollar corporate porn industry won’t go away; rather, what will are places for people to talk frankly, openly, and safely about sex and sexuality. Groups that are pushed out of mainstream discussions or find themselves attacked in mainstream spaces are once again losing their voices.“

    When even the mainstream media sees that @staff is okay with nazis while getting offended at the female nipple.

    shit when legit newspapers are throwing shade @staff 

    I’m not generally a fan of the “Well, they allow nazis!” comparison, but I do find it interesting that the largely left-wing internet cabal (Apple, Google, Facebook, etc) are working so hard to eliminate nudity on the internet.  I’m old enough to remember the ‘60s and ‘70s, when liberals worked so very hard to open the doors to free expression.

  7. Call to Action (again)

    We got Tumblr’s attention with our past peaceful protest campaigns

    • Protect the Creators
    • Bring Back Reply
    • Protest against hate speech
    • Bring Back Arch Atlas

    Maybe it is time we use our beloved Tumblr to protest this sexist policy that marks female nipples as porn. Tumblr is being extreme in what its decision and policies, and is using a useless algorithm that sees Rothko paintings (see @dailyrothko) and flowers and all kinds of non-porn images as porn.

    So, on Monday, 12-17-18, we should not post anything on Tumblr, except the above photo, which is available here. NOTE: You can also add these to your avatar to let anyone who visits your site know about this.

    As this post suggests, if we have a queue with images, we should add this one to 12-17-18. As part of our protest, we should not do anything on Tumblr for the whole day: no dashboard, no posts, no comments, chat, replies. We should also, as recommended by @jtmportland, we should also completely log out to show a physical drop in traffic/use.

    Nothing on Tumblr, all day, M, 12-17-18. Even log out completely for the day so there is a drop in traffic/use.

    Also, please think about putting @staff & @supporton any and all reblogs of this and any on any posts about this, since this will send them a direct notification of each and every post about this. We need to flood their dashboards so they see we are upset.

    Also, please use the staff and support tags.

    Again, here is the link to the above sign: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CWHndyT6EUu1ZKzS_CCUZ4yEJlS6vhcI

    @staff & @support

     

  8. My internet access is limited.  So much so I can’t use tumblr.

    I will return when the issue is resolved.

    Hopefully, that is very soon.

    “The Dance of the Muses at Mount Helicon” by Bertel Thorvaldsen (1807)

    “From the Muses of Helicon let us being our singing, that haunt Helicon’s great and holy mountain, and dance on their soft feet round the violet-dark spring and the altar of the mighty son of Kronos. And when they have bathed their gentle skin in Permessos, or the Horse’s Fountain, or holy Olmeios, then on the highest slope of Helicon they make their dances, fair and lovely, stepping lively in time. From there they go forth, veiled in thick mist, and walk by night, uttering beautiful voice, singing of Zeus who bears the aegis.”
    – Hesiod, Theogony
