You might see a number of reposts from my blog over the next few days as we approach THE 17th. I’m going through the archive, and reposting pics I think might be “on the edge” as far as approval goes. This is the easiest way for me to get them reviewed. Scrolling back through four years of daily posts is just impossible. Here’s hoping most of us and our posts are still around on the 18th. Best wishes to you all.

Why ‘female-presenting nipples’ matter
When I was 10, my mom made me wear a bra and it felt like a punishment for being different.
When I was 10, I took the bra off when changing for gymnastics and accidentally dropped it in the school hallway. A teacher picked it up and said, “Oh, this must belong to you” and handed it back to me in front of everyone. I quit gymnastics.
When I was 11, I thought maybe the boobs would be okay so long as they didn’t get any bigger than would fit in my hand, so I kept measuring it, but they did.
When I was 12, I started wearing two or three sports bras to smush them down, until one day a classmate said, “Are you wearing two bras?!” while laughing.
When I was 13, a boy told me he wanted to squeeze my boobs “until they popped.”
When I was 14, I got cast in a play as an older character and a classmate told me I got the role because I had boobs.
When I was 17, my mom told me to return a swimsuit because it would be too distracting for my boyfriend’s father.
When I was 21, I got properly fitted for a bra and everyone felt the need to tell me how much better my boobs looked.
When I was 26, I got pregnant and my immediate fear was that my boobs would get bigger.
When I was 28, I got shamed for trying to feed my screaming baby in public without a cover.
When I was 28, people asked me “why are you bothering to use a breastfeeding cover?”
When I was 30, people gave me weird looks that I wasn’t yelling at my kid for putting their hand on my boob.
When I was 31, I avoided going to the beach or pool because I didn’t want to have to deal with boobs in a swimsuit.
When I was 32, I got asked, again, “why don’t you get a breast reduction?”
When I was 33, I watched a 5yo girl get shamed for running around in sweltering heat without a shirt on and had to reprimand a bunch of tween boys who thought it was okay to shame her for doing something they do all the time.
When I was 34, my kid kept patting my breast and saying “Mommy’s squishy breast!!” They will never see me express any shame about tits, because I want them to have a different mindset than I had. Yes, boobs are nice! They’re squishy! They’re fun! That’s the end of that.
I’m 35 and no longer give a fuck. I don’t care anymore. As a teenager my tits were covered in stretch marks. They’ve been engorged with milk. My nipple changed shape with pregnancy. Give it another couple decades and my breasts will probably be all wrinkly. It’s sexual when I’m using it sexually. I don’t fucking care, and I won’t be ashamed anymore.
Every time a policy or cultural hangup treats people with breasts differently, it fucks us over.
Tumblr’s new policy makes an active choice to participate in this culture of shame. By classifying “female-presenting nipples” as explicit material, Tumblr has taken a stance that any chest or breast that differs from a male default is worthy of shame and unavoidably sexual. The idea that breasts are shameful and unavoidably sexual is exactly what fucked me up for so much of my life.
Stop shaming people for having bodies.
Well said!
Goodbye
Well I guess December 17th means permanently goodbye from me to Tumblr and thus all of you. Sad, it’s been fun. Just reached 20K followers and enjoyed serving you fresh n… images :-/
Where do you all go? ‘Cause I guess I’m not the only one shutting down, pulling the plug, deleting my app? Let me know.

Aww seriously weep. So many of you lifted me up and carried me on this journey, I never imagined I would feel so incredible about being naked at my age. I could have never done it without so much support from this fucking brilliant, thoughtful, and caring community. I’m really going to miss the “anything goes” part of being a content creator.
Heartfelt thanks to You and so many others. I’m going to have a good cry.
XO

tumblr is over
tumblr to me was the wild mix of art, trash, self-expression, passion, porn, kink and sex. Like a dream or the subconscious: never pretty, never nice but immensely vivid and inspiring. An tumblr was truth. People would spill out their phantasies, their fears, their secrets…
Censorship - Only nice stuff allowed
With the new regulations in place tumblr will be heavily censored and all about nice, nice…like facebook or instagram. I don’t need that. I’m on Facebook and on Instagram already.
Nobody needs another Instagram
I joined tumblr in May 2013. Today I have over 57k follower and nearly 1000 posts of original art. I have little interest in what tumblr has become.
I will not post anything in December
Here is my call out to you.
Stop posting art and visuals! Post your protest! Nothing else!
Use the hashtag #tumblrisover
Make yourself heard. Make #tumblrisover trending.
Don’t like this post: You need to REBLOG / SHARE !!!!
Thx to 10k followers,
I’ve been away for some reasons and was about to post again, I have a bunch of new stuff !
But I don’t know what will happen with our good old Tumblr…. So let’s see how things are going …
Maybe later, here or anywhere else 😎
Thank you
I’m going to be deleting my account. Thank you for the thousands of followers, especially all of the great artists, models and photographers I have met through tumblr. I was working towards moving away from tumblr even before the news about the nudity ban. I will still be shooting and creating my art. You may see me pop up on more public platforms at some point in the future, but for now I plan to stick to smaller groups and only share my work with other professionals. If you are a professional photographer or model, feel free to email me at amethystlight90@gmail.com.
Again, thank you for all the support over the past couple of years on tumblr.
