NON-freaks dni. This is a freaks only zone
I refuse to talk about mens oppression topics from a condescending tone of people who consider themselves Non Men (a term that fits into a binary i wholly dont agree with but am capable of accepting on the individual level). Like. We dont need cis women to be our mouthpiece. We need people of any gender orientation to understand that we can speak for ourselves, and should be allowed to do so without being told how Scary and Oppressive we are. Ill acknowledge the ways i benefit from manhood systematically (miniscule) the day yall can fucking accept that im not oppressing you for existing as a man. You dont get vulnerability when youre attacking people.
Breaking Bad could easily have an episode where Walter touches a crystal and it makes him seperate into multicolored different parts of his personality and Jesse has to try and put them back together
LMAOOOOOO
Witch’s cat, 16th-century woodcut.

Warning: do not delete any sideblogs
I’ve been seeing it happen to a handful of people, but apparently if you try to delete your sideblog you will end up deleting your MAIN tumblr account entirely as well I don’t know if this is a bug or something, but I’ve seen it happen to ~4 people now, so until this possible bug gets worked out do NOT delete any of your sideblogs unless you want to risk deleting your account entirely
As far as I know, this is not a programming bug. This is bad design resulting in user error. It is safe to delete sideblogs if you do it the correct (non-intuitive) way.
Source: I have successfully deleted multiple sideblogs over the years. And I have unfortunately heard of many people accidentally deleting their whole accounts over the years too. This Tumblr help page corroborates my experience and outlines the proper way to delete a sideblog. (Note the difference between the headers: “Deleting Your Account” vs. “Deleting a Secondary Blog or Leaving a Group Blog”)
The mistake people make:
When you go into the settings of a sideblog, there’s a button at the bottom that says “Delete [sideblog url]”
Of course, people think this button will delete only the sideblog they want to delete. But the thing is, this button shows up at the bottom of every blog in the settings page, and the url displayed will match whatever sideblog you’re looking at. It will still delete your entire account, as intended by staff.
What you need to actually do:
When you want to delete a sideblog, you must go to the members tab of that blog and hit “Delete this blog”
https://www.tumblr.com/blog/[sideblog url]/members
Reasoning:
Sideblogs are meant to have the potential to be shared by multiple users. So the thinking is, if you are one of 5 members of a blog and you want to leave, you go into the members tab and leave. The 4 other people still share the blog without you.
That same line of thought applies when you are the only user. When you are the only owner of a sideblog, you must ‘leave’ the ‘group’ from the members page to delete it. Deleting any blog from the settings page will delete your entire account.
If you’re still unsure, you can follow these steps:
- Create a throwaway account. Not another sideblog, but an entirely new account from scratch with a new email.
- Add this throwaway account as a member to the sideblog (done on the same members page, can be seen in the screenshot above as “Invite to this blog”)
- Once your throwaway is a member of the sideblog, you can leave the sideblog from your main. The throwaway should become admin of that sideblog by default once you leave.
- Now you can test out what it’s like to properly delete a sideblog from a throwaway account. IIRC, you will be prompted to type the url of the sideblog along with your login info (email and password) to confirm.
Important question does the same thing happen with the *Delete this account* button on the mobile app or no?
As far as I’m aware, the mobile app actually works in a way that makes sense. Deleted some sideblogs recently and I’m pretty sure I just pressed the Delete This Account blog, it prompted me to enter my password and warned I’d lose all my current content and access to that specific URL and well the rest of me is still here
Some (!) of Marlene Dietrich’s luggage, removed from the liner Normandie by government agents, June 14, 1939. They were confiscated for alleged non-payment of $284,000 in taxes for 1936-37. Forty minutes later, however, Dietrich sailed with all her luggage except for “certain quantities of jewelry,” which were kept in escrow.

[thinks about freder and josaphat] what if they kissed?
happy pride 🌈
Good recentish changes:
Making posts unrebloggable
Stealth change to what it looks like when someone blocks you
Checkmarks etc
Ad free tumblr
Slightly better tagging stuff
Blazing stuff
Neutral changes:
Video/image viewers. Weird rn but you'll get used to them so fast
Splitting reblogs and replies, 3 types of reblogs
Clicking on the name to get the blog and the timestamp to get the post
tumblr live (people think this is a bad thing but it's so easy to block)
all the weird shit that pops up sometimes on the desktop sidebar
Bad changes:
That week when you couldn't turn off based on your likes
The new post editor being insanely buggy (mostly fixed now)
The "why don't you add tags" prompt showing up for some people rn
The for you dashboard being the default for new blogs
Desperately needed changes:
Please please please let reblogs with inline links show up it would make my life so much easier
Private blog system that works like twitter's system with follower requests instead of the current password protected model
Good recentish changes:
none of these are all that recent as in after the fed raised the interest rate
Video/image viewers. Weird rn but you'll get used to them so fast
no, this is in the chronic pain category
Clicking on the name to get the blog and the timestamp to get the post
no, this sucks fucking ass because you can't go to posts that didn't add content, and the element is a reinvented hyperlink
so it doesn't work with open in new tab, which is something I want to do often!
in addition the bad changes you listed, the button to add tags has been jumping around in the iOS app. also, instead of the "new post" button being bottom centre on every screen, it is now one of those horrendous floating bullshit circles, but only on the dash screen. on the notifs screen, that circle is for new message. so if I'm looking at my notifications and have a great thought I need to scream into the void, I have to first go back to the dash screen. annoying as SHIT.
My deportation is on June 25th also I am trans
For several years, I've been living in a small eastern european country on the grounds of transphobic legislation in my passport country. During this time, it's been illegal for me to work, and I've been reliant on donations from tumblrinas, because I was claiming an obscure clause in a human rights treaty.
This has failed, and now I have to leave.
The climate for immigration generally is much better now than it was in 2020, so I just need money to get to safety and then I can get on a path to citizenship that doesn't involve obscure clauses in human rights treaties or the UN or NGOs or anything.
I'm going to be in a weird in-betweeny travel phase for the next month or so while the legal and bureaucratic dust settles and I really really really really need money to ensure my and my cats' safety during this period.
Last post was successful in meeting its arbitrary goal. Cats vaccinated, first plane ticket purchased, temporary lodgings basically covered, but deportation and resettlement is a lot more expensive than that, so we need to reach this one too.
This is still a code red emergency, and the absolute worst-off financially that I ever plan to be again.
I can't say I'm retiring from fundraising on tumblr, but I can say that this is the most desperate situation I'm going to face any time soon.

I didn't realize just how paranoid your average USAmerican is until I started canvassing neighborhoods. There are so many ring doorbells, so many cameras, so many "no trespassing" signs. I can't help but wonder how many of the people who willingly install spy cameras on their front porches go on about how scary the world of 1984 is, or about how China is a terrible surveillance state. Suburbanites happily created the surveillance state they're so afraid of.
This was only 55 years ago. You can understand a lot of what’s wrong with the US if you realize that the average age of our elected senators is about 63. “Good old days” is a dogwhistle.
Our current Supreme Court might’ve ruled against the Lovings.
[Image ID: excerpts from the article linked above, reading:
“The couple is given a choice: flee or go to jail. After they were arrested, the Lovings were sentenced to a year in prison. Then, a judge offered them a choice: banishment from the state or prison. They chose to leave Virginia at the time, but after several years, the Lovings asked the American Civil Liberties Union to take their case.Bernard Cohen and Philip Hirschkop, two young ACLU lawyers at the time, did.”
and “On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court justices ruled in the Lovings' favor. The unanimous decision upheld that distinctions drawn based on race were not constitutional. The court's decision made it clear that Virginia's anti-miscegenation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.” /end ID]
It was 55 years ago.
My father just had his 70th birthday.
When my parents first met it'd been less than a decade since the ruling was official.
They were convinced it'd be overturned and did not want their children to have to suffer for it, so they did not get married and searched desperately for each other in their own races. They could not find the love they had together in anyone else. They did eventually get married.
Too late for them to have the amount of children they'd desired. They had two, adopted a third, and that was that.
It was near enough to now that I, my sisters, and my parents were directly affected by it.
This isn't ancient history. It's just my parents' childhood.
Both my parents were alive when this happened. My grandparents were alive and adults. 55 years ago means my grandmother was…. Younger than I am now, but married.
This history isn’t so far behind us.
