Xscape.

Me and my blog.

Me:

British (English) East Midlands.

Straight Male.

Non religious.

Open minded and tolerant of others. Not much offends me.

Probably older than you.

Coffee addict and cat lover. Both feature a lot on this blog.

Wide range of music tastes but mostly trance, dancehall reggae, UK garage, grime and old skool hiphop.

I work in the mobile telecommunications industry.

Politics: I very rarely get involved in political discourse. I vote for Liberal Democrats here in the UK.

My Blog.

This blog showcases my love of a wide range of photography, art, literature and humour. I only post material that I believe reflects all that is good and positive about the world.

There are currently 170 000+ posts to browse! Most are tagged so please use the search, I'm sure you'll find just about everything here!

I usually queue everything that I post and run it 24hrs a day. I don't like it when others flood my dash so I won't do that to you.

I prefer to reblog posts that credit the original creator. Posts that state via Pinterest, weheartit etc. are not imo valid sources.

If I see a post that I like that has had credits removed or additional material added that I do not want on my blog (self-promotion, inappropriate comments etc.) I will often go out of my way to reblog from the original source.

I like to find and reblog from the many original photographers on Tumblr.

I love hunting through archives and regularly reblog from blogs that I don't follow, including many blogs that are no longer active. There's amazing stuff in them archives and I believe it's worth bringing back into circulation.

I upload content as well. These are my edits of other people's work, I always credit the original creator and use material that is in the public domain.

Do I follow back?

I always check my notes and if i see a name regularly appearing I'll very often follow back as and when I get chance to check you out.

I follow a diverse range of blogs but this does not necessarily mean I share everything in common. Eg, I'm a straight male but many people I follow are not, I'm following people who make religious and or political statements but I do not necessarily share that point of view.

I am unlikely to follow back if your blog contains large numbers of uploads that are uncredited or are obvious copies from another Tumblr blog, has no or very little content, a large amount of nsfw, makes lots of posts written in a language I do not understand or has very little other material that interests me.

Although I believe in everyone having the right to an opinion, I will also not follow or will unfollow if your blog gives out negative vibes or if you are in my eyes a 'hater'. Eg, you regularly post things that are racist, homophobic, sexist etc.

Have I unfollowed you?

A while ago I sorted through the blogs I was following and removed about 600 blogs that had not made any posts in the last 6 months.

Do I block people?
