I think that Tumblr is the nearest equivalent. I believe you can even post to Tumblr via email, which was one of Posterous' selling points. I liked Posterous' relatively clean native look and you can achieve that by using one of Tumblr's free themes, like Minimalist. Tumblr's pretty flexible. I have two Tumblr blogs, one of which is morphing into my portfolio, and is not really a blog at all. I've been lightly tweaking the Minimalist theme to get what I need.
Alternatively, basic blogs at wordpress.com are free, and many folks recommend them. There's supposed to be a migration tool for Posterous to Wordpress that would be worth checking into. Posterous went sideways after Twitter bought it and I stopped attempting to use it. I'm unsurprised at this shutdown announcement.
