More sidlink because I have the power to draw it

— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972

Note the date, people:

That’s 1972

29 years before AVEN was started online,

and 47 years before the present.

And that’s only the date that Manifesto was written, so asexuals as members of a community must have existed at least some time before that.

So, no: we are not just Tumblr trenders. Get out of here with that.

supporting my asexual friends and foes by rebbloging this

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

OP will be hunted for sport if the asker ever changes their name

OH FUCK

*me, getting ready to hit you with a sick-ass keyboard smash*:

I see your Palm keyboard and raise an IBM Butterfly keyboard. 

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE

it’s called “the late 90s/early 00s was a WILD time in consumer electronics”

can’t believe there’s straight guys walking around who think sex begins and ends at penetration and oral. they will never know the boundless eroticism of simple touch, they don’t even know about frotting, they will never know what it’s like to be spooning fully clothed with another woman and then she asks you to explain serial experiments lain and by the time you start explaining the knights she’s dry humping you harder than you’ve ever been fucked and she put you in a headlock and she just grows more and more in intensity like she’s become fully fucking feral and before you can even mention the psx game you’ve came twice in your one size too big black women’s high waisted skinny jeans from Walmart

ma'am this is a wendys

this is the gay transgendered fuck site and I am using it to talk about gay transgendered fucking

My husband found it necessary to get the thing for me and I love it.

Be sure to remember Sad™’s birthday next August.

Have you guys seen that clip

Go off Kermit

we're just normal men

here's your fucking feedback @staff

list of problems the removal of icons causes:

list of problems solved by removing icons:

here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere

Can someone explain why anyone would even WANT to take icons away? What the motive even is here?

Wild speculation here, but making it harder to tell at a glance who put what on your dash would sure make it easier to sneakily slip promoed posts or advertising in there without people immediately being able to tell that they're advertising.

Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.

Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.

There’s also a Firefox/Chrome extension called Behind The Overlay that does all that with one mouse click. Used it for years; what a time saver.

And if you encounter a true paywall, use Archive.Today to bypass it. Just paste the paywalled url into the blue “search archived snapshots” box near the bottom:

*right clicks on you*

*views your properties*

"This story is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way."

#a REALLY good tragedy is locked in quantum uncertainty between these two states

wanna see something that drives me up the walls insane

the creation..............of adam.............................

[id: A trans man lifting his shirt above his head, displaying his chest. His chest is tattooed with the hands of God and Adam from the Michaelangelo painting "The Creation of Adam", which reach out to each other but don't quite touch. The tattoo covers the faint scar from the man's top surgery. end id.]

everyone is always acting like there is some crisis of human interaction with one another because everyone is overly sensitive to how strangers approach them and like. no actually its because nobody has any fucking manners. social etiquette has legitimately vanished. it makes interacting with strangers miserable because people don’t know how to fucking behave in public.

like it is rude to stare. it is rude to point. it is rude to have a loud phone conversation in a quiet place. it’s rude to listen to music or videos or whatever on your device with no headphones on a loud volume, or at any volume in an enclosed or quiet space. these are rude things to do. like i’m sorry while some etiquette is silly, an acceptable level of decorum is necessary to make existing in public bearable for everybody…….it is LITERALLY common courtesy

Also, do not fucking photograph or film people without their consent!

This was intentionally manufactured by Facebook. Facebook implemented it's "accountability culture" starting with its rule about only using your real name and photo on its service and encouraging you to disclose other information in your profile, and from there it just got normalized. It was entirely to gather data for advertising purposes, but now we associate that level of openness with "accountability". Entire generations are now being raised with this as the norm. Privacy is no longer a priority, or even really seen as an option.

This is to your detriment. Your privacy protects you from predators of all kinds. You really should be guarding it carefully. Disclose what you feel is important on a case by case basis, but even your mental health status and beliefs are exploitable by big business and small-time bullies and abusers alike.

Even if you're not overly fussed about what people know about you, just understand that not everyone has the luxury of feeling the same. Some people have stalkers and abusers they're trying to evade, or don't want to attract new abusers into their lives by being that vulnerable and open again. Some people have extreme social anxiety. Some people are protecting other people in their lives. Some people just don't want their grandmothers to find their smutfics. Some people are Internet privacy advocates who keep their details private as a political statement and as a matter of principle.

You are not entitled to anyone's information, and you do not owe anyone yours. You are allowed to just be an anonymous username until you feel safe to disclose more.

In the states, all the police need to get your entire record is your name and date of birth. Guess what Facebook shows publicly? Your name and birthday. Wish I hadn't used my name, but I made sure not to put my real birthday. Confuses the heck out of acquaintances, but that stuff should not be public. Change it if you can.

fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk

As a european i sometimes forget furefkied are actually real and not american folklore/cryptids. Like you’ve got friendly little bugs that glow in the dark….. b r uh

in case europeans were worried: we love them very much! even tho they’re clumsy and slow and sometimes bump into you, no one swats fireflies here, or takes them for granted. even grownups sometimes reach out in the summer and gently catch a firefly for a minute before letting it go.

By “reach out” that’s meant quite literally–you just kinda. Stick your hand in their flight path and they land on you and will sit on your hand for a bit. Sometimes if you’re just walking or standing outside while they’re active you have to shoo them off you because they’ll just. Sit on you.

They’re harmless and very pretty and it’s always a treat to see because they’re out for a relatively short time each year.

Had to include this tags cause i also catched people not getting the issues and this person explained it best

me: man my job sucks i want to play video games or somethin

Options are the 10 most spoken languages, listed with their number of total speakers for comparison to final results (Source)

Please share for sample size, I think it would be really interesting to compare the tumblr data set to the global data set!!

So this is a visual representation of “are the new users you’re changing the entire app and website layout/features for in the room with us right now”.
