That Boarding School Girl gets a Tumblr!

I have been busy this week and no doubt will be be into the week after with a project that was half realized earlier last week until I decided it wasn't radical enough.

Anyone who knew me especially at Fur Affinity or heck face to face knows just how mixed my feelings are around social media and Tumblr as it applies to me having been through a number of sites in over ten years.
What I don't like about contemporary social media is the tendency for it to be an echo chamber of right on usually left-leaning views that discount many things are actually beyond settled even by academics and other "experts" in those fields.
This often moves into areas where groups disallow alternative views however respectfully expressed because they make others uncomfortable and to placate this sites have rules that also block whole views not merely hateful speech, incitement to commit assaults, terror related acts or harass.
Other issues abound one being Tumblrs change in Terms of Service last year that left swaves of people who wanted to share and discuss topics either removed outright or facing an often inaccurate flagged image like that of a boy scout reading a comic annual full clothed with the account shut into NFSW in seconds as "protection".
Those changes also prevent me from publishing a link to this blog where ironically I can't at 'adult sites' too cos surprise surprise they don't like talking about anything connected to childhood
It's like your too adult for Tumblr but not sufficiently adult for "adult content" spots.
Anyway I did mention changing the avatar at my other Tumblr whose long history I'll spare people but it's enough to say the main difference between that and my more mainstream age regression community is that on outset following on from two successors and a more Sfw Caregiver/little one I had up to January 2016 was talk about and pictures of school uniforms in the context of regression to being a school age child studying and limited talk and tame images connected to spanking which is part behaviour management and part regressive, being a non sexual part of actual childhood I am comfortable with in legally adult life being administered as part of the whole Age Regression package.
One reason to change was Tumblrs rule changes drive a a carthorse right through the latter, wiping tame images, communities and so on and secondly it removed the barrier to having in effect a sfw age regression tumblr that had school uniform talk targeted at over 18's from being a secondary of the main one as all contentious content was banned anyway so provided there was no linkage it would work.
Conceptually it ties in with my That Boarding School Girl blog on Blogger having that bit more maturity about it which had a lot to do with naming it. 
Thus I decided to bit the bullet remaking and rebuilding in places the Tumblr to focus yes on that age regression but free from the hysterics sometimes found in communities with chunks of under 18's, still have the uniform talk but short of the briefest possible mention on the about page nothing around spanking.
Instead I decided to focus more on things around personal development and youth movements from childhood that run through part of my age regression what you might call the Second Chance School to move on within limits.
Again those of you who have met me know how much moving on and "self improvement" always have been and are core things about me so I thought that could belong in their that helps differentiate the mainstream CGLRE on and the non com for over 18's version.
That's what I've been doing and that's fine

Partial remakes

There are still the rumblings on around getting ready for next month's events having finally gotten my quiz printed off as it seems some inexpensive paper crinkled the way that damp magazines can and caused it to jam.
That means it and the prizes can be put together ready that only leaves ordering my train tickets once it is clear the person I will be with can stop the extra day because if that were so I'd be given a lift to nearest rail station to make my own way home rather than booking a return to their place.
I have been working a bit on the second tumblr like changing the avatar over although I still feel a large chunk for why it existed no longer exist because the very reason it was started on that account was down to the inherent risks of having a blog that may reference the odd 18+ topic on a sfw account and that that wasn't permitted in age regression communities.
 too.
I have decided to remake a chunk of it fresh tas an alt sfw account just for legal adults  who regress because sometimes it's a help to be free from the squabbles that can break out on the other and I don't need much more  other than the messaging to be honest from it.
The trouble with 'adult services' tumblr alternatives is very much the company you keep and trying to keep a sfw dash in such an environment.

Trans politics

It hasn't been the best of reads at one discourse blog I don't follow but have on speed dial for keeping up with the background to some off the other stuff I do follow but today I am just gonna set out my opinions around this topic.
In 2019 we are hearing more of people who do not accept  physically or socially being male or female as filled out on their birth certificates or by family to which attitudes in the past have been "you're being silly" to today's which is less critical and in some circles very much at one with it.
Sexual politics is often emotionally charged  especially when it comes to gender identity to the point some people do construct notions of true transgender transitioning with the inference that anyone who doesn't meet that is not valid.
One viewpoint that goes back to the earliest days of 'treatment' is the notion that a person has to have an intense disconnect with and sense of disgust at the gender they were recorded and socialized with in order to be transexual.
In other words you feel so disgusted internally about it you have to change everything around it all of the time.
The problem I have with that is most people who have never felt remotely questioning of gender themselves don't define themselves in terms of "and I am NOT and am so glad I AM a ....(/) " so much as they just are and get on with it.
In other words A girl is a girl because she is, it is what she feels.
People do when it comes to social roles and interests differ when measured against stereotypical norms so the sporty girl or the ballet loving boy are still girl and boy respectively.
To me that's more routed in gender roles and expectations as much as sadly some people are left feeling "it would be easier if I was [insert opposite gender].
The nature of transexuality is however it's not just the leaving of the social trappings of gender but implies you also wish to leave the body you were in because you want/desire the physical form of the gender you feel you are and not just at the point of wanting to 'fit in'.
People have defied convention expressing themselves or even presenting outwardly as a gender different to the one recorded without any surgery sometimes for short periods on occasions for most of their lives.
To want surgery to align yourself permanently physical to a sex (and sexuality can come into it too)  with its own attendant risks is one area where I do feel there simply has to be more in it than just being seen outwardly as that one gender as that is literally covered up where it physically counts.
This may not be everyone's view point, am sensitive to people being 'beaten with a gender stick' in their lives but do feel treating people who don't share you own view as a some evil enemy that should be prevented from having a differing point of view on it is wrong.
It's not our opinions that cause problems it is what we do with them that actually counts and causes harm.
If having a differing view causes you such emotional discomfort that you feel you have to self injure or attempt to take your lives, yes I understand your anguish but you need help for those feelings. 
Just saying "If you say that I'll take my life" is emotionally manipulative.

Making plans an that

Things are it has to be said nothing on here that even with the weather the last week being at its coldest so far this winter I have been out for a good three quarters to a whole hour a day taking in the fresh air walking and observing things  such as several birds singing in a nest, a group flying in a V shaped formation and with the eather being mild until recently even the pussy willow being out in the local woods.
Arrangements are being made for February Littles camp where an unexpected offer of an extra free day seems to have caught a number of us with limited time off from work to take full advantage of it although if it were to be offered again I am sure that it would prove useful although to date seems likely we'll be returning in the summer to the old venue as the appropriate has taken that off the property market and is taking bookings into mid summer.

Given this is a new place we've been asked to arrive more toned down than full on little although given my Tom Boy side tends to come out that's no big deal as I'm still little in regular brogues and shorts and never had a big thing for super frilly dresses anyway.
Perhaps I should bring a catapult?

Tidied up sleep

It's a new year so naturally here we're talking down the decorations, the tree, the nativity scene ready for next plus the cards now are being sorted into those that can be recycled and those that cannot.
That just leaves the community tree that we carolled by still  up which I'm sure will be disconnected and picked up by our local authority soon enough.
It might interest people to know we spend a good portion of our time sleeping and for me also napping during the day so it was with that I had a new duvet as mine was showing signs of much appreciation.
I grow up (allegedly) with sheets and blankets on the bed but for a while now have had modern duvets which once you got the hang of putting the in their covers, aligning the corners are quicker and super warm.

 Pillows get a pounding with me and having a bad neck usually require frequent changing to ensure they get good support so I had a new soft one to replace the eider filled one I had that had started to go a bit flat.

This should help in getting a good nights sleep in that apart from feeling a bit less grouchy from discomfort also said aid relaxing more.

Welcome to the New Year

 

One begins a new year almost as it began with annuals for the year but at least some questions about the online world I do inhabit because the recent changes at Tumblr that I have talked about elsewhere do bring into mind the need to have this blog because I can only share it  privately with my BFF and at F.A which is a tiny audience for a not inconsiderable effort on my part to keep it fresh.

The same changes pose some long term questions around Tumblr and of my second account as most of people it was for are no longer around and part the reason for setting it up - being able to reference the odd minor unfriendly thing are no longer permitted.

The only account I really enjoy making  is my major Cglre sfw age regression which was the very first account I ever had and have partly remade because it's just that- a regressed spot- where I enjoy being a kid again even if the juvenile hi jinks of the odd person is an irritant.

The good news is it's no so far off first First Littles Camp of the year and we're already planning the Summer one which again is really more the stuff I need in my life than anything really adult and that makes me happier than just pounding at the keyboard.

Sometimes people don't get this thing with me, my liking of wearing things more akin to school uniform comes from the sense in which I am and visualize myself as that eternal child in the wrapper of a much bigger whole.

That whole directs me as that "eternal child" so for me everything I say and do comes from a childs space -littlespace- and so everything that happens within that is governed by what would be right for n actual child of my own era and so has nothing to do with adult services, d/s dynamics, sexual acts or thoughts and so on.

All relationships between adults and I are and remain at the paternal family parental level equating more to Parent/child than anything D/s.

It's not the hardest thing to say but a lot harder to get people to see it as it is and online the confusion leads to inappropriate following, comments and the like.
