sam. 20. any pronouns. fandom, art, politics & miscellaneous blogging.

hello ! i’m sam ! 👋🏻 welcome to my blog :^)

  • you can read my "about" page at the link in my bio, and find most of my other socials listed in my linktree (& mutuals can ask for my instagram !)🌻
  • i often accidentally unfollow people, or just un- then re-follow them over time, because i am constantly adjusting my feed and trying not to subscribe to too many blogs... i hope this is not stressing anyone out. do not hesitate to message me if you ever need clarification, and if you feel like it’s been upsetting you and need to block me, i will not mind — i completely get it. just do what’s best for you. 💌

...actually now that i think about it. did you have religion class in school? also was it mandatory??

extra points reblog and tell me where youre from in the tags because for us religion* is a non-mandatory class where in high school you don't get grades but extra points that might help you in other classes**

*and with that i mean Christianity Class because wow i love being in the same region where the pope is /s ** which is the only reason i kept attending

“She only accepts hugs from furniture. From the throw cushion she places on her stomach and holds tight, like a soft fender for her gut. From the way her mother doesn’t look up from the paper, doesn’t say Good morning, but instead, “I thought I’d let you sleep in.” […] From going to the movies alone in the day. From resting her face against cold marble surfaces. From listening to her dog sigh. From Stevie Wonder singing low, That I’ll be loving you always. From stepping into a patch of sun and closing her eyes.”

— Durga Chew-Bose, from “The Girl,” in Too Much and Not the Mood

I just want every teenage girl who’s just starting to have sex to know that it’s completely okay to NOT want to replicate porn, to NOT want to do anal, to NOT want to have threesomes and to NOT want to do bdsm. You’re not “boring” or “a prude” or “a kink shamer”, nor do you need to be fixed. You’re not wrong for not wanting to have wild unsafe or degrading sex. Your boundaries are completely okay and there’s nothing wrong with being “vanilla”.

Also it’s okay to not want to give blowjobs and to not want to have penetrative sex. It’s okay to back out of having sex that you previously agreed to. You do not owe anyone any kind of sex for any kind of reason, and if they cared about you they wouldn’t pressure you. It’s okay to not be ready for sex. (And it’s okay to never have sex!)

Guys.

It’s okay to say no to dating a guy even though he’s nice. It’s okay to say no to sex with a guy even though he’s your boyfriend. It’s okay to say no to dating or sex with a guy even though he bought you something/stood up for you/shared his notes/anything really. If it’s okay if you only want to try certain kinds of sexual things, and you are allowed to say and enforce that those are all you’re interested in and the only things you’re going to do. It’s okay to break up with a dude who’s trying to pressure you in any way. It’s okay to report his behaviour to teachers or counselors or authorities or your parents/parental figures. And if an adult tries to downplay aggressive behaviour from a dude, it’s okay for you to report it to someone else until you’re taken seriously.

Like, I'm not saying that this is a good thing, but it's kind of bleakly entertaining how over the course of my life my skill set as an online researcher has gone from being:

  1. Hugely valuable in the late 1990s and early 2000s because the discoverability of information in public-facing databases was fucking terrible and nobody knew how to organise anything; to
  2. Effectively useless throughout the 2010s because search engines enormously and rapidly improved and computer literacy was at an all-time high; and
  3. Back to being hugely valuable once again because SEO bullshit and the proliferation of AI-generated content have degraded online discoverability back to pre-2000 levels and computer literacy is in accelerating decline due to mobile devices deliberately obfuscating basic functionality so that app vendors can sell it back to you with embedded advertising.

It's always interesting when my posts about technical writing end up doing numbers on librarian Tumblr. I guess we have something in common!
