Queer Horror Day #35 - “It’s okay, I’ve got it too.”

It started off as jock itch and became bodily rashes and hives (stress?). I was in love with a boy more handsome than I. I feared losing him. People were dying. So when it crept onto my neck, face, and eyes I told him, “I can’t see you anymore.” And I didn’t.

Truth is, the uglier I got, the more I wanted to kiss him, to nuzzle him, for him to like me, to desire me as I did him, his vitality, beauty and health. His love, his touch made me feel beautiful, especially since I felt horrid inside and out.

I began wearing a wig and hoodies to cover up the ugly side of my face. Then, the rotting smell began.

I was at my rope’s end, dangling from the rafters when it broke upon me, the knocking at the door. How long had it been going on? How many medicated powders, anti-fungal ointments, herb washes, anti-histamine pills, sprays, oatmeal wraps and lavender baths had I endured? The itching, the burning, the cracking, the blood, the feeling of that deep unscratchable place — insatiable.

Rain and darkness obscured all but his voice. He cried. I reached out and he placed my hand upon his scaly face and stepped into the porch light. It was then I feel that I finally saw him as broken as I’d ever, like a torn painting, and he said…

You can inspire others and literally change the world around you just by the clothes you wear and the creative expressions you have in public. Don’t be afraid. We need you

How will you protest? Leaving the platform? 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’m super sad about it and will use this place much less, but you can’t protest what is purely a financial decision. Hopefully some porn-friendly company will just step in and create an alternative that isn’t littered with spam and spyware.

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

hmmm

These cartoons are way too cute! 😭

Ahhhh! Finally finished this piece of fanart based on the wonderful manga Dungeon Meshi/ Delicious In Dungeon by Ryoko Kui. Big big thanks to SungWon Cho/ ProZD for putting the manga on my radar and the notion of turning it into a game from this tweet.

With this in mind and mouse in hand I hope I have done the source material justice and it’s as much a pleasure to view as it was making it.

Yet again, thank you SungWon Cho for the prompt, and thank you Ryoko Kui for a wonderful read!

Make cats mice again.
