welcome to the chaos

@dollarstoremerida

Just collecting information for my brains library.                                 She/Her

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

The charity is based in Ottawa and accepts in-person donations as well:

[ID: Tweet from @OdawaNFC with an attached image. Text:

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

  • reverse the recent image viewer update
  • scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
  • let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
  • increase efforts against spam / porn bots
  • make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
  • let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
  • commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
  • (suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.

(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)

Let us pause videos again! I can't read the subtitles if I can't pause videos! Videos are useless to me at this point!

Add a flash warning community label!!

Stop using flashing in ads/the weird theme updates/official posts!!

alright im very white and idk if the joke of white people don't use spices is just very applicable to me but i just figured something out.

1 box of trader joes heat up mac and cheese (really could be any type but this one is also four cheese so maybe take that into consideration idk)

like 3 ish dashes of garlic salt (can be strong do use at your own pace)

like 5 shakes of crushed red pepper (again, can vary, depends on whether yours is crushed or flakes.)

4 dashes or five of fajita seasoning (written from label, mine has dehydrated garlic and onion, with spices including chili pepper, with salt and tricalcium phosphate added to prevent caking.)

and if you have it, truffle salt! I really like it because it gives a rich flavor.

Reblog this to RSVP to the Pride Month orgy.

Also, for those not sexually inclined we have a craft table and smash bros tournament.

Can we have karaoke?

Of course we can.

Ive never been to an orgy. Is there food? Should i bring a lasagna?

Please bring lasagna. I need everyone to sign up for a main dish or a side.

Make sure to bring things that are bottom-friendly! While lasagna is delicious it can certainly make bottoming harder

oh oh oh and ask folks their safe foods, especially autistic members of the orgy

As an autistic member of the orgy am seconding this motion.

I bring weed

Free Trans Resources public spreadsheet

Please reblog!

As promised in the comments of the binder master list, I'm now compiling a more all-encompassing free resource public spreadsheet! So far I've got resources for binders, packers, STP devices, gaffs/tucking underwear, gender-affirming clothing, some DIY gender-affirming gear, and some resources on how to clean that gear and how to clean up makeup spills. I'll try to keep expanding things, and feel free to request a type of resource or a specific location in the comments or in an ask! (I can't promise I'll be able to find anything, but I'll do my best! <3)

The spreadsheet is called "Study sheet" to make it more inconspicuous in case someone you'd rather didn't catches a glimpse of the title. Do please note that once you're on the spreadsheet it is very obvious what the content is, so only view it when it's safe for you to do so! <3

(Also here's a post I made of spreadsheets with the same resources but under different names)

Before you click on the link to the spreadsheet:

Some links to videos on how to conceal and delete your history for those who need it (blue text indicates a link)

Remember to delete your Youtube history after watching!

*Edit* I've added a new section for miscellaneous resource requests to serve as a semi-temporary place for more niche topics that I get resource requests for. If I get more requests for them or find more resources related to the topic I'll make a new separate section for them, but otherwise they can just stay there.

Remember: y'all can comment, tag, or if you want/need it to be more discreet you can send me an anonymous ask. I may not be able to find what you want, but I won't judge you <3
