As most of you may be aware tumblr is starting a new policy where they are not going to allow self harm, eating disorder, and suicide blogs anymore. They will be taking them down. I am creating this petition as my blog can be viewed as triggering as many other blogs could be and they could be deleted as the image is wrong. Tumblr don't you realize blog's which seem to promote these things actually help people. Whenever I have urges to fulfill any of them, I blog and it helps me to overcome it. The website has helped me to deal with things, I've made amazing friends on there. We all share our stories and it's working, it's helping. Please don't take these type of blogs away from us.

Seeing this kind of momentum means everything to me because I know exactly how much this community keeps us safe during our lowest points. Your support proves that these blogs are a lifeline and not just content to be erased.

I have spent the last few days reading your messages about how these blogs provide a vital lifeline during our darkest hours. Tumblr sees these spaces as dangerous but they have clearly never experienced the relief of finding someone else who understands exactly how you feel. I am continuing to compile these stories because the people in charge need to see the real human cost of their policy.

Seeing the count climb makes me realize how many of you rely on this community just like I do. We are nearing one hundred signatures and hitting that goal will prove that we are not going to be silenced so easily.

my blog is literally the only place i can be honest about what im going through. tumblr is supposed to be about self expression not policing our feelings.
