The Tumblr will lose many users this will at some point it will hurt in the pocket. But who else will lose is the culture and we who are here.R.I.P Tumblr.My tumblr has helped a lot of people. Many boys came to me. I avoided many suicides. I have helped many boys and men who have never accepted to be gay, because of the family, and today they are free.Every day I get pictures of couples who say they are happy and feel confident to go out on the streets as a couple, because they see in my tumblr, gay couples, living like any other normal couple. And that’s what we are. We are normal, Tumblr. We are not explicit content. Hello guys. I ask you to read this text.

It is with great sadness that I say that I will have to delete my blog.

After the new rule of tumblr regarding “explicit content”, I will not be in here anymore.

From my point of view, it comes not with the intention of being a secure network, but to move LGBTQs away from networks. I’m not exaggerating!

It’s been some time since I’ve been fighting with tumblr, for marking my publications as NSFW, when in fact it’s just two boys in a simple show of affection.

This is not “explicit content”. Being gay, loving someone of the same sex, is not being “explicit”.

I have my tumblr, since mid 2009 or 2010. It has always been an free and open platform. I came to stop here, precisely because it was a place where I could gather love stories between men, without being censored or despised. A safe place where we could love who we are and who we want.

It’s clear the “cleanup” attempt that tumblr has been trying to make since its sale to Yahoo was signed.

My tumblr has helped a lot of people. Many boys came to me. I avoided many suicides. I have helped many boys and men who have never accepted to be gay, because of the family, and today they are free.

Every day I get pictures of couples who say they are happy and feel confident to go out on the streets as a couple, because they see in my tumblr, gay couples, living like any other normal couple. And that’s what we are. We are normal, Tumblr. We are not explicit content.

I can give another example. This is not my only blog. I have in total five accounts on tumblr. Each one with its distinct content. One of them is my portfolio of photos. Some of my essays are nude. It is not explicit. The human body is not explicit, just by being naked.

In this particular case, several photos with bare female breasts were marked as explicit, but every day our male nipples are exposed and treated normally. The female body is “explicit content,” but the man walks freely with pectoralis the show.

This is not just a way of putting LGBTQs into obscurity, again, it is also a machist. This Tumblr act is a setback. 

Not long ago, there was the tool “Safe Mode”, that yes, despite many errors, if it were improved, would be a great tool, and that has full my support.

Tumblr was once a place where artists could expose their arts without being censored by the old fallacy of “this is not art.”

How many illustrators, writers, cartoonists, designers, photographers, among others, who will lose a platform where they can spread their work? This work by the way, which is already left aside, by the “real world.”

The Tumblr will lose many users this will at some point it will hurt in the pocket. But who else will lose is the culture and we who are here.

R.I.P Tumblr.

This New Orleans Cosmetics Mogul Made $1 Million In 90 Minutes

Ms. Raynell Steward, better known as Wuzzam Supa or Supa_Cent on Instagram has helped us laugh with her comedy skits, throw down in the kitchen with her cooking videos, and level up with her inspirational posts about hustling smarter instead of harder.

This New Orleans native took the exposure from her viral Vine and Instagram videos but also her leap of faith and started her business in 2017: a cosmetics line inspired by school supplies. She is now known as the entrepreneur who sold $1 million worth of her products in 90 minutes on Cyber Monday 2018, sending her supporters into a frenzy and leaving her speculators confused, asking: Harpo, who is dis Supa woman?

Ironically enough, The Crayon Case is a line that is dedicated to amateur makeup artists, and if you are an avid follower of Supa, you won’t be surprised to see her uploading various videos of her impromptu makeup tutorials filled with tips and suggestions.

As with most entrepreneurs, her road to this newfound success was not easy, unlike some who covered this year’s Forbes list with a false “self-made” title (side eye). Nonetheless, Supa has made sure to share her obstacles and experiences along the way to help other women who are reluctant to start investing in their dreams and essentially, boss up. Supa shares: “Y'all be underestimating yourselves. If something is poppin’ - it don’t matter who made it, who created - if it’s poppin’, b*itch they gon’ see it.”

Supa was correct about her creativeness being noticed, as Crayola approached the CEO about her designs and how they closely resembled those of the branded crayons. Supa responded by immediately stopping production and changing her designs, even asking for the mega brand’s approval of her revisions. To her surprise, shortly after Crayola debuted their own cosmetic line that bared a shocking resemblance to Supa’s products. She explains:

“They have the right to tell me ‘b*itch take that off, that’s my sh*it’ so we changed it with no problem, so I understand. I infringed their brand first, so why can I be mad at them for seeing some sh*t is poppin'… I’m not about to poke no bear. I’m not about to go [to] them and say, 'You stole my shit, I’m taking you to court,’ b*tch no! Those people could have sued me…and they didn’t. So why would I go sue those people for something they rightfully could do?”

Supa took her “L” like a champ, and learned as a lesson in how important it is to really invest in trademarking and researching thoroughly before debuting any new products. The incident was just a slight stumble on her road to success, as she was able to bring her story to the 2018 Essence Music Festival stage this past summer, solidifying her status as a hometown hero.

The quality of Supa’s products precedes her larger than life social media personality and existence in the virtual beauty world, as she really spent a lot of time perfecting her products. Being a darker hue of brown, Supa kept high pigment and longevity of the products in mind, specifically The Crayon Case 'ishadow’ palette.

Supa’s products are fun, fresh, and affordable with the hit sold out Crayon Casepalette being priced at $30 and the 7-piece pencil shadow brush set to match at $18.

Supa is a 30-year-old CEO and mother of a young son, awaiting the arrival of her daughter with her supportive fiance, and has worked over 15 jobs in her hometown before quitting her job as a waitress and following her dreams. Some may call her an overnight success, however, supporters of Supa know the hard work and dedication she has put into this victory. In her own words, she shares:

“Don’t hate on yourself. Along your journey, many people will tell you what you can’t and what shouldn’t do. Don’t be that person to yourself.”

“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”
