The platform (xstumbl) for one of my favorite blogs, myselfixion, has been "under maintenance" for over two weeks now. I hope it comes back on line soon, because if it doesn't, it will be the third time this excellent and eclectic blog will have had the digital rug pulled out from under it, the previous two being the notorious tumblr and the lesser known newtumbl. Here's hoping for a quick return, and if any of you have information on myselfixion's plans, please let me know. Meanwhile, I am post eleven photos today that I stole off the various iterations. We start with four swimmers and a dog.
I wanna beTHAT dog.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, and there's somebody watching these guys from the bridge.
DeleteWhat a great loss of great content at tumbler, some images never to be sern again.
ReplyDeleteRumblings in DC is now the mal-administration of Trump wants to go after blogs and web pages they deem “offensive” at the federal level.
Don’t be surprised if it’s spearheaded by a certain screeching southern fried Senatrice, as he is known in DC.

A few blogs I visit have gone dark in recent months, postings have become rare and far between. Of course I am not privy as to why, but with these despicable people running the show I do worry where it is all heading.
ReplyDeleteWhile I share your concerns about censorship, most of the recent dropoff in vintage blogging has been for other reasons such as illness, a lack of "new" material, and just being bored/tired of it. I've had moments where I thought I didn't want to do this any more, but they always pass.
DeleteThere is another location for MySelfixion at https://www.tumblr.com/myselfixion. I believe it is current. I don't know how it compares to the xstumbl site.

DeleteHe occasionally posts on Instagram, so he's still out there somewhere. Of course, IG actively censors posts for reasons.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
