Let’s Build a Gay Library Together!
Hello you lovely internet queers of all kinds,
As you probably know if you follow us, we are currently building our inaugural digital collection, and we are working hard to make sure that it represents and fills the needs of our patrons. To that end, we would love to get some input from you! If you have 5 minutes to answer a few questions, we would be so grateful if you took our Collection Development survey: https://forms.gle/CXJ2uncyDMDr7p1T8.
If there are other people who you can think of that might be interested in QLL, especially people who you can see signing up for a library card with us when we launch, feel free to forward them the survey as well!
<3 <3 <3
-Your friends at QLL
to whoever said “you’re doing godzilla’s work” for their response in the final question ‘is there anything else you would like to tell us?’ of this survey… we love you so much
(you, too, can leave us silly fun notes at the end if you let us know about your reading habits and queer book desires!!)

We're leaving for a cabin in the woods for a week. Though I'll do my best to stay off my phone (which I use for posting comics), I'm not planning to leave it behind, but grab a sketchbook and draw comics by hand of the journey as it happens! Foxes in Love is not going to go on a posting hiatus, but for the next week we're going acoustic!
Activists in Tasmania have stuck up more honest promo stickers inside Coles & Woolworths stores, the two dominant supermarket chains in Australia.
2023: missives from desktop tumblr suggest that per the latest update my mutuals are being hunted by some kind of grotesque clown. staff assure us this is driven by user feedback.
Just so frustrated that tumblr’s rolling out more unreality-triggering features: as if they didn’t already learn from the Y2K event…
How do they think that. A GIANT FUCKING CLOWN ON THE DASHBOARD THAT, WHEN CLICKED ON, MAKES THE BACKGROUND TURN TO A BUNCH OF WANTED POSTERS WITH EYES LOOKING AT YOU??? AND THEY SAY THINGS LIKE well find you OR SOME SHIT???
Why would they think that this DOESN’T trigger at least five types of—-
Fuck. Sorry if this post made no sense, just bristling right now.
Anyway: stay safe out there… a full list of the potential triggers with the new site update are:
- Clowns
- Eye contact
- Unreality
- Paranoia
- Delusions
- Violence
Let me know if I missed any.
Again, stay safe. And fuck Tumblr’s staff.
Edit: Adding some of the things I’ve reblogged and also suggestions (thanks @nimona-antifa for the suggestions, and @everlastingrandom for pointing that scopophobia’s another potential trigger)
- Body horror
- Gore
- Scopophobia
- Horror
If you live in the UK, I also strongly suggest filing a complaint with the Advertising Standards Authority! The ad most likely violates advertising regulations (including in the UK), and contacting the ASA will bring it to their attention which makes it more likely Tumblr could face legal repercussions.
A few other countries where you can file a complaint:
I don’t have any of those triggers, but fuck if it didn’t startle me the first couple times i went to post and it popped up.

a lot of you need to be a lot more chill about cishet passing people and couples still being part of the queer community
its happened to a friend recently and ive seen plenty of people including streamers/youtubers etc have the same thing happen over and over again, where they put the LGBT label on their streams or a pride flag in their bio and then they get people demanding to know every detail of their identity.
if you see a guy online with his girlfriend and he has a pride flag in his bio and your first reaction is to question whether hes even allowed to put that there, log off. the guy could be bi, could be trans, could be nb, could be literally any queer identity at all and it doesnt matter. its none of your fucking business. he could also just be an ally showing support, its none. of your. business.
you are not the queer police and it is not your job to make sure everyone in the queer community has the properly documented justification for being part of it. touch grass. you need to be normal about not knowing everyones labels and identities and about people keeping those private.
cishet passing people have always existed and will always exist within the queer community, they are our family and belong with us.
i have some questions yet i find myself too afraid to seek answers
dear god not the tumbleweeds
completely justified response if you haven't encountered tumbleweeds firsthand (because most of us are only familiar with the loony tunes version) but in reality....
so the thing about tumbleweeds is they are in fact incredibly invasive. they cause millions of dollars of damage every year, and create serious traffic accidents and agricultural disruption. (they're also highly flammable, because of course they are.) the town in question was piled so deep, residents had to call 911 after being trapped in their homes. bulldozers and emergency workers had to be brought. it was wild.
tumbleweeds are also heavier than they look--they're made of wood after all. and they're big (most varieties top out at 4 feet, but there are larger ones that can reach up to 6 feet across. you know how the Emu War sounds absurd and fictional until you realize emus are 6 solid feet of clawed, beaked, avian dinosauric FUCK YOU? yeah, this is like that
in summary, tumbleweeds are thorny, pollen-filled, fire-spreading assholes (and they can spread radiation from old nuclear sites), which means we are dealing roaming packs of stabby, poisonous, radioactive fireballs of death that can appear out of nowhere coming at you top speed down the middle of the highway!
the more you know :D
in conclusion, please have this photo of the only tumbleweed i have any fucking fondness for (the South African Brunsvigia bosmaniae), solely due to the fact it's fucking PINK
is it as evil as all its cousins? probably! do i care? that just makes it sexier! and the bulbs contain hallucinogenic properties, which makes perfect sense from a single glance:
You’re in her DMs.
I’m sweaty, my coveralls half off and tied at my waist, my tank top soaked, face covered in grease, deep in her mech’s guts, rebooting the OS, checking connections and circuitry, running diagnostics.
We’re not the same.

Cheers to everyone who is coming up on or has already entered their hobbit era! May the years bring you many new adventures! But be wary of hot elves!
And happy 24th birthday Dipper and Mabel!
"BREAKING: We just filed a Federal Trade Commission complaint, calling for an investigation into Mastercard’s policies discriminating against online sex workers."
YOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Look, I don't care what you think about porn - you should still be supporting the ACLU in this. Because it meant that EVERY WEBSITE had to make sure no one was selling art that ANYONE called sexy, or risk being unable to process credit cards.
And enforcement was completely haywire. One person might get their account blocked because a bra strap showed, while another person showed closeups of genatilia with no problem. No one has EVER came up with a way to moderate this in a cost-effective way, so it is all based on user complaints and AI - and both overwhelmingly target minority artists. It is pretty easy for male-female porn to sneak by unreported, but two guys kissing fully clothed? Or a black swimsuit model showing a bit more cleavage than some asshole thought was appropriate?
And of course big name movie and game companies could include all sorts of sexy content in mainstream media while even a hint of it got the little independent guys banned.
On top of that, a lot of EDUCATIONAL material got taken down. Want to know what different STDs look like? How to treat an injury to the groin?
A lot of ancient art got blocked too. A lot of cultures - including most of Europe for a long time! - don't have the nudity taboos modern America has, and a lot of the best, most technically skilled and historically important art has - gasp! - nipples bared and cocks out. For most of history, that was not a big deal.
It is still extraordinarily easy to access porn, so the ban did nothing except make it harder for independent artists to survive, in every form of media, and make it more difficult for people to check the health of their bodies.
(Last but not least, I am of the opinion that it is very healthy for people to know what all sorts of different bodies look like, and sexual desire is perfectly natural and does not need to be hidden like it is shameful. I know that is controversial. But even if you think people should never see anyone naked except their wife or husband, it should still be very obvious that this policy did a lot of harm and zero good.)
And, if this kind of shit remains unchallenged, it's not going to be long before online stores start getting shutdown for offering queer content-- not adult content, just queer content.
I literally think about that every. Single. Day.

Holy shit that's an entire separate dog's worth of hair. Is she even still 150 lbs or is she like. 5 pounds now.
