“But what if I don’t want to see hardcore porn on my dash?” Let’s ask why you are seeing hard core porn on your dash?

1. Someone I follow reblogged it- unfollow

2. It was in the for me page- mark the post as content you are not interested in and move on

3. It was tagged as porn- block porn tag

4. It was a pornbot- block and report for SPAM

5. it wasnt properly labeled to avoid it being removed - advocate for porn to be allowed so people can safely filter

Circus performers (1940s, 1950s)

There's an essay I've never written about the relationship between superheroes in American Comics and costumed performers in American Circuses of the same period, and how the comics characters were the circus performers, and I will probably never get around to writing it. But then I see photos like this and wish I'd written it 30 years ago.

Could you explain a Brighton divorce? Google just showed me lawyers

How to perform a Brighton divorce

  • Be a young adult during WW2
  • Fall for someone
  • The man might die of war, better get married quick
  • WW2 ends
  • Oh you don't actually like each other that much
  • Divorce is pretty much only obtainable if you can prove adultery
  • Better if the husband is caught because he'd just be being a bloke, versus the woman being a slut
  • Husband goes to Brighton, a place known for trysts
  • Gets "caught cheating" or pays off a chambermaid (old-timey hotel cleaner) to say she caught him
  • Divorce!

"Stop being funnier than me on my own post" is one of my favorite healthy tumblrisms, along with things like "hang on lemme look that up...yeah this is funny" and explicit tone indicators (positive). Like yeah let's build a world where we playfully format healthy interactions. You made a post and you wanted to be the star but damn, you've really gotta hand it to this other person for their really funny addition, so here's the internet equivalent of giving someone a friendly punch on the shoulder while making sure they know they got a good grade in social interaction

like literally society can’t even handle women’s COVERED nipples. i hate bras and generally do just say fuck it but there’s always the fear of people hiving me shit for my nipples poking through my shirt, especially being sexually harassed about it. but with men it’s not an issue! they don’t have to stress so fucking much about their tits! i hate it here i want to throw up and die. bring back tge free the nipple movement right now
