On December 17th, the blogging platform Tumblr took a nose dive into the realms of censorship, deciding that adult content no longer had a place on their site. Part of me understands their decision. Tumblr is easily accessible, with massive levels of content appropriate for a wide spectrum of viewers. Even marking certain blogs as "adult" cannot guarantee that children won't accidentally encounter content that their parents would deem inappropriate. I sure as hell would be concerned if my nine year old daughter was surfing Tumblr without constraint. So while I dislike their decision, I understand it. It is their company, their platform, and thus their right to do with it as they please.
As of right now, I have not yet found a new home for Riding the Wooden Horse Blog, or Cream of Venus, though I am looking. When something arises from Tumblr's adult blog ashes, I will think about recreating your favorite blogs. Until then, please feel free to explore www.michaelalexanderstories.com. - MA
