I’m staying! I’m in the process of getting a WordPress in case the update completely fucks me over, but I don’t plan on leaving.
My plan for WordPress is to keep it 100% original informative content and post it both here and there. I’m in the process of transferring my favorite original posts there. If y’all still want snippets of my personal life, you’ll likely see more of that on Insta.
For those of you who are leaving, you can find me on:

In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Hey folks! Recently my car suffered some damage and is in need of repair. The vehicle is my only source of income, so this puts me in a bit of a tight spot for the next week or two while repairs are made. While I find myself with an abundance of free time, I would love to do some more readings for people. If you want to ask a question and feel that you gained insight something from the reading and want to leave a tip as a thank you, it would be greatly helpful!
I’ve been learning about tarot and cartomancy using my Illuminated Tarot deck, and offering free readings to the community, as well as reading for myself to learn.
So far it has been a great experience. I am learning a lot about the meanings of the cards and how to trust my intuition, and the practice has been paying off. I have been hearing from others that my readings are consise and illuminating!
If you have received a reading and want to leave a tip, you can do so here:

If you want to receive a reading but cannot leave a tip, that’s fine too! Reblogs and signal boosts are appreciated!
