I found a folder on my computer called "tumblr sucks" which must have been photos I wanted to upload to Tumblr right around the time they changed their policy to disallow nudity around 2018. My Tumblr was so much fun cause it was all my 35mm chaos, but obviously there was ton of NSFW content, especially around this time because I had been working on my nude instant film book Instaxxx for much of 2017. I wrote an article for Boing Boing about how this decision was going to destroy Tumblr and wrote a bit about the FOSTA/SESTA bill that was meant to "protect children" but really just became a way to censor the internet and here we are less than a decade later and even artistic nudity has been pushed to the back rooms of the internet and while Tumblr is still holding on, it's a shadow of its former self. https://boingboing.net/2018/12/03/the-death-of-tumblr.html
