Hi buds, we miss you already.

As one of three queers who do sm% I want to say, thanks. Our experiences here have been super. We came to tumblr only three years ago after each was put in “time out” on Facebook for going against “their standards.” Amusingly, we were trying to keep within the guidelines, admittedly at the edge of them, but every now and then we were flagged for a hippie ass crack here, or some pubes above the belt-line there.

Switching sites we leapt from a place where a dude in a towel was too racy into a full-blown, love-juice soaked, orgy of the possible. A lot of it was not our scene, but the cocktail was fabulously intoxicating. Commingling here was art, kink, anime, literature, politics, bad puns, nostalgia, music, pet memes, geeks, werewolves, and more. We love how many blogs dipped their toes in all of it. The smart and complex communities here opened us to greater possibilities in our cheeky image groupings, and what had previously been fun individual experiments blossomed into a full-fledged artistic collaboration–with a sweet audience no less!

We thank you for that and for the interactions. I’ve met some top-notch folk here via chat, some of whom have become friends IRL. Blowing kisses to each of you!

Sadly, our project can’t continue with the new restrictions. Even if we could follow the rules, we’d be up against bots that have a hard time discerning the difference between someone in a swimsuit and a nudist. Frankly we are also confused as to why either would be considered offensive. So this is goodbye. We considered moving elsewhere–put time and research into it–but have yet to find a site we like as much as this one. We’ll be sorry to see it go.

All the best! Sincerely,

Darrell

P.S., I know my cohorts, Carl and Prissy, feel the same. ❤️
