Fucking Tumblr!

[wrote_and_writ]

Tumblr gutted me again! I made a new blog about a week ago, and it just imploded tonight, no reason given. I filled out another request to reinstate the blog. I wondered if it was fucking up because I use a VPN to access it, but I always use a VPN and have never had this trouble. First time in China, Belarus, Taiwan, even when I’m home in the US, I usually have a VPN on. I can’t think why it would happen now.

I’m actually close to tears as I type this because Tumblr was the ONE place I really loved to go on the internet. It’s where the fan artists and writers I truly love are. Most of them aren’t posting anywhere else, and one of my VERY favorites is doing a “Drawtober” challenge. They love MDZS and draw for a lot of fics that I haven’t read.

I feel foolish for being so upset, but I am upset! I’m angry, too, because there’s so much push to consume, consume, consume, and when I find something I actually want to consume and participate it, to have it taken away just sucks! No other social media or blog site worked as well for me as tumblr. I made some amazing friends there as well.

I just don’t know what else to say except this really hurts and I hate it.

Ugh. It sucks to be at the mercy of corporate forces.

YES, it absolutely sucks to be reminded how little you matter in these systems.

I too hate this for you. So unfair and upsetting. I don't think feeling incredibly distressed over the loss is foolish at all 🫂

It’s making things lonelier which, aside from missing out on beautiful things, really hurts, especially now.

This just really, really sucks. :( I hate it, and I'm so sorry it's happening.

[wrote_and_writ]

It really does, and I can’t think of any reason for it.
