The editor of Tumblr’s political content responds
There is little I can add except to point out that when someone wishes to bring their ideology to the rest of the world it is called imperialism. It is the misguided belief that one’s hollier than thou ideas are so worth upholding and extended everywhere regardless of what people in other countries believe.
So let’s recap who is curating content for Tumblr. Or, let’s recap who Tumblr has deemed to be an authority to filter what we should be allowed to see in politics:
A person who denies that privilege exists
A person who handed cookies to Asian and Black people during an anti Affirmative Action bake sale (link goes to post on STFUConservatives because he has since deleted the post, although he does acknowledge it as his; bonus post here where he shames anyone else who reblogged that bake sale/ handing cookies to POC action and who actually responded in a negative way to his racist activism)
A person who runs an aggressive, virulent, misogynist anti abortion blog.
Yep, this is the authority that curates the Tumblr content we are allowed to see.
And because I expect better from my Social Media platform of choice, I am told I should just kill myself.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
