This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I don’t understand it either. Tumblr makes republishing photos from other sources on the web an almost instantaneous thing — it’s called “reblogging” — and it makes this kind of thing easy to get obsessed with. You’re awarded with a note on your post everytime someone reposts one of the pics you’ve stolen from somewhere else and that’s how they keep score, in terms of popularity. It’s mindless so a piece like this isn’t totally surprising, since the woman, herself, seems totally mindless.

It’s a walled garden. You can’t comment on them unless you have a Tumblr login, though.
There are a couple of blogs there that I like (PoliticalProf and Contradict Me particularly), but mostly it seems to be pr0n.

No one went broke making piracy social media for pr0n obsessives.
