insulin has been mass produced (from animal extracts) since -1923-. slow acting insulin has existed since the ‘50s, and ‘human’ genetically engineered insulin (derived from E. coli bacteria) has existed since 1982.

insulin treatment for diabetes is not some new or ‘unproven’ treatment. according to beyondtype1, “Humalog rapid-acting insulin came on to the market with a list price of $21 a vial in 1997.” adjusting for inflation, a vial these days should cost about $34 at most. instead, it costs over $300. there is NO reason for it to be steadily gaining in price to the point that diabetics are unable to afford their lifesaving medication, other than the sheer inhuman greed of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.

I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)

One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.

More info over the days to come.

The plan is, broadly:

1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there

2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.

3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.

4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.

Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.

There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.

The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons - maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.

If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.

Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.

(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site - that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)

If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.

If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.

(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)

If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.

Men please don’t be this idiot. My wife and I are both tired of these type of morons. You are not entitled to sex with anyone. Even open minded people who enjoy adventurous sexual encounters.

The picture on the right is his first comment where he is totally missing what my wife said in her post that half of her followers are real. Meaning half are just bots trying to get people to follow links. Obviously this douchebag has been striking out and is lashing out about people not wanting to meet him. So of course he calls us out for not having a backbone. Great tactic, insult the people you are trying to have sex with. At first we thought you were physically unattractive, but after your insulting illiterate comment now we want to have sex with you.

This is the problem with men today. They have this extreme delusional confidence and entitlement and absolutely nothing to back it up with. Not even literate tactful conversation that could endear someone to them. Nope, just “Hey wanna fuck? No? Well fuck you. Insert insult here because the problem can’t be me.”

I get that a lot of you see the things we post, and it’s a completely different interaction with someone than meeting them at a bar or something like that. Well here is a tip for you, approach it as if we are someone you met in a bar or other public place. It’s really not that difficult. Besides you really have no idea of the context of the images we post.

You’re mine.

Behave.

I love you.

Look, everyone, this belongs to me.

Later, I’m going to do this much harder.

This part, right here, belongs to me. So does the rest.

I’m in charge.

It’s okay.

Don’t worry, I’m here.

This is just a sample of the stuff that shows up daily in my inbox… this doesn’t even include the dick pics!!! I’m definitley NOT alone.

GUYS… from a female perspective… JUST STOP!!! If you’ve NEVER had a conversation with a blogger you’re about to message… DON’T BEGIN LIKE THIS.

Women want a connection. I promise you… a random pic of your dick (*yawn*.. so unoriginal) or a crude message does NOT make you stand out from the crowd, or get you to the front of the line! But it WILL get you blocked and /or reported!

“But you look at porn all the time on here ”… “But you’re on your blog showing off your naked body.. you MUST want it”… “you made a suggestive comment to THAT guy.. I can do the same thing”…

If YOU have EVER said ANY of these things out loud or had those angel/devil thoughts… JUST STOP. Let me set the record straight on behalf of all us women who graciously allow you to see our pics. Showing ourselves on our blog does NOT give you permission to send us your crude /crass comments or force us to look at your dick in a message. 😡 In the real world, its called harassment. Would you say stuff like that in person to the cute girl in 7-11, whos wearing short shorts and a halter? No? Good. Dont do it here.

And as far as the banter you see in comments… many of us can interact with FRIENDS like that on here, because we’ve established a relationship. That’s where that CONNECTION comes in. Take the time to get to know the blogger… start off with a genuine comment or compliment if you feel you must send a message! “That color looks great on you!”… “You’re very pretty, thank you for sharing your pics with us”… “Hi there, new follower, I really enjoy your blog”… “I love that drink too, have you ever tried a ___?”

Guys… we are REAL women on here, with REAL lives, and REAL feelings. We may NOT respond to a message for awhile, or even at all. And that’s our choice. Real lives always come first. Just be respectful, be patient, and have some decency for God’s sakes!

We want to hear from you! We’re an open and exploratory bisexual couple who want to meet other adventurous types. We like: light bondage, pegging, exhibitionism/voyeur and probably a lot more that we haven’t thought of yet. You: uninhibited and experimental. Go!

Dear Tumblr- we don’t know what the 🤬 you’ve done to OUR (without users you don’t have much of a product)…. so yes OUR service. Whatever it was, UNDO THAT💩.

Our feed is fed more with your repeat “recommendations” from you’re worthless AI and advertisements than feeds we actually liked and subscribed to!

Your technology or your staff (sure hope it was a ‘glitch’ and not a conscious action by your staff) deleted and unsubscribe us from hundreds of our favorite blogs. There was no warning, no apology, no mention that we can find.

Tumblr has quickly turned into a dumpster fire that is becoming less and less worth our attention and efforts.

Snapchat and others are here and poised to take your user community.

Decision is yours. Fix it our become the new “MySpace” of this generation.

Sincerely,

Your very dissatisfied community.

We have had single guys ask us why we are so direct and demanding up front. The short answer is : TOO MANY single/solo guys have zero follow through, are very secretive, or are downright playing the game. Say hi(maybe), send a dick pic, ask to sext with a blog or profile with no pics and no personal content. Thats the norm it seems. Sometimes they can hold a conversation, only to fizzle when they find they cant get laid RIGHT NOW. The sure way for them to vanish is to ask for a face pic. <crickets chirping> They come to your blog where your face is open for all, and get offended when you won’t consider meeting a faceless stranger.

PLEASE…WE WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR…THIS IS NOT ALL SINGLE GUYS OR MARRIED SECRET GUYS. But all too often, this is an accurate depiction of them for a swinging or Hotwife couple. Or….they will go as far as planning a meet and then not even show. Very few will back out last minute with a reason…never to be heard from again. A lot of couples have kids, families, each with a job…they have made time to meet you, why would you not grant that same courtesy??

And married guys…BE HONEST. If she has no idea you’re into this lifestyle, say so. We understand that more than “she got sick, but I can still play” or “she had to go out of town, but I can still play”. We get it, she doesn’t share your same interest or needs. None of our business, but we also dont judge. To each their own. Honesty is king!
