what addons do you use for firefox? i've just downloaded it to switch from chrome (derogatory)

firefox (affectionate)

UBlock Origin obviously. out-the-box works just fine but has a bunch of extra privacy/tracking/spam filters you can enable

Decentraleyes protects you against tracking through "free" curated content delivery and works alongside UBlock (or any of the other common adblocking addons)

I Don't Care About Cookies good for EU users where GDPR made it so every site ever in the universe asks you to accept cookies and privacy terms seventeen times a day. will just auto-accept for you. never see an annoying popup again! but only use in conjunction with...

Cookie Auto Delete does what it says on the tin. will automatically flush cookies, cache, and data when you close a tab. those cookies you just auto accepted? they're gone now. whitelist any sites you wanna stay logged in on and let the rest fucking perish

Don't Track Me Google removes that annoying link conversion when you copy google results. you know when it changes from "site.com" to "encrypted.google.com/randomnonsensefor200charactersblahblahblah"? yeah. this stops that happening. fuck off, google.

Don't Accept image/webp blocks sites from using the most useless file extension known to mankind so you can save as .jpg or .gif as god intended. fuck webp. seriously. what even is that.

Bypass Paywalls Clean exactly what you think it is

HTTPS Everywhere automatically adds ecrypted security to any site that supports https (you can do this manually by adding the s yourself to any url but... who can be fuckin bothere amirite? this does it for you)

New XKit ...duh

Google Search Filter allows you to remove domains from your searches forever. pinterest? gone. weheartit? nuked. also works on duckduckgo. never type "-pinterest" into a search again.

Simple Tab Groups allows you to group tabs together and shove them out of sight, which is nice if you're researching something and don't want 50 bajillion jstor tabs clogging up your normal browsing session

Janelle Monáe comes out as nonbinary

I suppose we have known for some time, but now it is official, the talented music maker and actor Janelle Monáe has told the world that they are nonbinary. 

This was on the April 20 episode of “Red Table Talk” (via NBC News), where Monáe said:

“I’m nonbinary, so I just don’t see myself as a woman, solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the  ‘he’ or the  ‘she.’  And if I am from God, I am everything. I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am. Beyond the binary.”

Heads up regarding her pronouns! While it’s totally understandable to see people using they/them pronouns after hearing this news, I think it’s important to recognize that nonbinary people aren’t required to use they/them pronouns (or any other set for that matter) and to respect Janelle’s wishes for how she’s stated she wants to be referred to

Thinking back on the fact that I went to the largest lgbt youth center in my state for 6 years of my life and in that time only met like, what 8 trans women out of the hundreds of people I met there, most of whom stopped going after awhile. And now as an adult most support groups and local scenes are the exact same way. It's really sad how many ostensibly trans friendly spaces develop a culture that's hostile to transfems even in ways I don't think I have the words to describe yet. Like I only stayed for so long cause by the time I came out as trans I was already deeply involved in running the place and it'd become my second home. Hell I'm still recovering from getting like all of my early support from an environment nearly exclusively run by and catered to tme ppl

Actually I think I do have some words to describe it. It was the fact that there were literally no trans women in any of the leadership positions, let alone any who worked there.

It was the fact that when I came out as nonbinary (all of our name tags literally had our pronouns) I still got called 'he' constantly and then when I came out as trans I got called 'they' constantly.

It was the fact that every 'transitioning 101' workshop I went to taught me everything about binding, packing, and wearing masculine clothes and nothing about breast inserts, tucking, or voice feminization. I knew everything testosterone could do to your body before anyone even told me what an antiandrogen is.

It's the fact that I couldn't explore my femininity without being sexualized. Hell every time I wore a dress I could count on afab tenderqueers 5 years older than me telling me to choke them and step on them.

And at the time I was so young I had no real ways of conceptualizing how all this hurt me, let alone ways to describing it. I know that was true of nearly all the other trans girls who went there, no wonder so many of them left so soon.

And all of this has held true for every LGBT space I've been in. Middle, high school, and college GSAs, trans support groups, training workshops, activist groups, meet n greets, drag shows, and don't even get me started on fucking online spaces.

In all of these ostensibly queer spaces, even trans specific ones and EVEN ones which seemingly are there to celebrate transfemininity, I and so many other transfems have been fetishized, tokenized, ignored, and treated as suspect for ever putting up any resistance to it.

I don't really have anything productive to say. Idk how to fix it, my only solution has been to just follow a lot of sexy transfems on here and try to ignore everything else. But that still doesn't change the sadness I feel for the fact that one of the largest obstacles I've faced in forming any sense of community with other transfems irl has been other LGBT people. Just do better

I find myself getting less and less ambitious the older I get.

When I was graduating high school I wanted to do great things and be super famous and change the world.  Now I just want to hang out and not bother anybody.

“Where do you see yourself in 5 years” just chilling hopefully

Seokjin: YOU LYING, CHEATING PIECE OF GARBAGE!
Namjoon: Oh yeah? You're the idiot one who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELL WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!
Seokjin: I'M LEAVING! YOU CAN TAKE THE TROUBLESOME MAKNAES!
Namjoon: HOW DARE–
Hoseok, putting away the monopoly board: Okay, I think that's enough for today

i think about this a lot

The guy got his life and career destroyed by his divorce, cut him some slack.

he was also sexually assaulted by a man who could destroy his career

protect him

reblog if the man on the right is just as beautiful as the man on the left

people grow old? like, that’s a thing that happens? leave my guy alone.

This man deserves everything let him he happy

Ok… This is what happened to Fraser

-His wife ditched him and asked for 900k a year,

-He was sexually assaulted which he said kicked him into a deep depression

-He stated that the stunts from the 3rd Mummy movie completely destroyed his body and he was in and out of the hospital for 7 years even having to get surgery to repair his vocal cords.

-He apparently blamed himself for all this which only worsened his depression.

This man has literally been through hell this past decade so please lets cut him some slack and wish him the best

All this but also that picture on the right is a really bad paparazzi photo compared with a professional quality movie promo still. No one looks good when some random person snaps you on the street, regardless of who you are.

Compare with this image from the GQ article last February:

Proper lighting, professional setting, good angles etc.

The dude is 49 and has had a rough couple of decades, but he’s still lovely to look at, and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Plus, now he’s in Doom Patrol, which makes me happy af.

And let’s not forget he was probably slightly to severely dehydrated to look that buff in he first photo. And I’m so pleased he got work again he seems like a good sort, and from the stealth pilot in Titans, Doom Patrol looks like it should be good.

It shouldn’t even matter what he’s been through. Body shaming of ANYONE is wrong.

ALL OF THIS

Plus

2019 Brendan is still slaying, so btfu

This post keeps getting better and I’m here for it

I love this whole thread

The last time I saw this it was only at the first ‘cut him some slack’ part and it just progressively gets better each time.

We support this Brendan Fraser in this home

I’ll say it again, the blue sweater photo in the OP was chosen because it was the most unflattering photo of him from that day. It’s a hatchet job! The same day:

I mean, look at this adorable face:

he looks like a really kind dad who would give good hugs and watch rubbish movies with me

Every time I see this it’s 1000 times better.

ALWAYS REBLOG to protect this man. He deserves it.

Must be protected at all costs.

Protect Brendan Fraser.

In this house we love and respect Brendan Fraser ❤️
