Hey, could you do me a favor?
Could you just RB this?
The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform
Watching the difference between the Twitter migration mentality vs. the Reddit migration mentality is fucking hilarious.
Like, when Twitter users started moving over here everyone was pulling out all the stops and bringing back old fandoms that they were into and basically firing rent lowering shots by being super cringey.
And then all of the sudden when the Reddit refugees start showing up we're like, "ah yes, pull up a log and gather around the dumpster fire. We'll teach you how to not get killed by people hunting down bots and carve out a little area for you guys to relax and get used to the site before we throw you into the deep end of this hellsite that we call home. Tomorrow is Let Papyrus say Fuck day so you can prepare for that if you want. You want some hot coco and a blanket?"
say someone talking about fucked up marriages who said "this is what happens when you don't marry for love" and holy amatonormativity batman!
(romantic) love will not save your marriage. (romantic) love is just a feeling some people have. there are relationships built on horniness that are more stable than relationships built on romance; there are relationships built on no attraction that are extremely healthy and long-lasting. stop mythologizing romantic love as this Platonic ideal of everything right and just and wonderful. two people can be head over heels in love with each other, and also not listen to each other, be annoyed by core aspects of the other's personality, do shitty awful things to each other (as I've said before, romantic attraction can be extremely shallow! sexual attraction can be very deep and personal! I See You Devaluing Sexual Relationships and I am shaking my aroallo head in disapproval).
it's not about whether you love each other or you are sexually attracted to each other or whether or not you feel anything for the other person at all. its what you do with your feelings. relationships are built and maintained through your actions, they don't just emerge fully formed from your "good" emotions if you just feel them hard enough.
Controversial opinion, but I prefer Reddit refugees to Twitter refugees.
Reddit was never about clout. No one really follows anyone on reddit. Reddit is barely for posting, as most people are lurkers. Like Tumblr, it doesn't really have a character limit, so users can just go nuts in the discourse. And sure. It can be just bad discourse.
But at least it's not fucking truncated like Twitter and TikTok discourse. At least you can have actual discourse on reddit.
Reddit was also about having a very niche specific weird interest and sharing it with other weirdos and fans of that niche very specific interest.
How is that so dissimilar from Tumblr?
I welcome them more than I welcome Twitter users.
“So if little girls experience their menstrual cycle in 5th grade or 4th grade, will that prohibit conversations from them since they are in the grade lower than sixth grade?” asked state Rep. Ashley Gantt, a Democrat who taught in public schools and noted that girls as young as 10 can begin having periods.
“It would,” McClain responded.
Unbelievable. Link to article.
The first ever suicide prevention hotline was created in 1935 bevause a man conducted a funeral for a 14 year old girl who ended her life because she got her period. She didn't know what it was and assumed it was a STD. Learning about periods and sexual health is life saving. Republicans are unapologetically just evil.
You know, here's a thing: I went to Catholic school from age 5 to age 16. (My family's not Christian, but the local public schools weren't great, so -- )
In 4th grade, girls were given a clear, scientific, extremely bland pamphlet about menstruation. It was Boring and Educational. There wasn't any class about it or anything -- just the pamphlet, provided in a plain manila envelope for you to take home.
Starting in 5th grade, the school provided a small pack of pads to girls. This was probably so that anyone who unexpectedly started her period at school would have an emergency supply, but the thing was: this boring pamphlet, this pack of pads handed to you by a nun, made menstruation...so normal. It's so normal that a nun hands you a pack of pads. It's so normal that there's a boring pamphlet. It's just a thing your body does. (It's so normal that you realize, oh, nuns have periods, huh.)
It kills me, KILLS ME, that this totally boring and bland form of education about human bodies is somehow Too Much, Too Scary, Too Sexy, for some people.
theres something about the fact that us trans men are counted as women when we're dead or statistics and forced to misgender and erase ourselves to recieve health care for parts we have or when we need help when the world makes us dead or statistics but when we try to say anything about it we're told this is apparently a privilege and we should shut the fuck up about it - or worse that we're predators for needing these resources that remove our manhood from us in order to be accessed
The human body is not inherently shameful or sexual. Breasts aren't sexual. Seeing people naked is not inherently sexual. The human body is natural and acting like it isn't does nothing but fuck people up.
sex and sexuality is also natural I think trying to put "shame" and "sex" in the same category to be excluded from "natural" is part of the problem.
i know butch lesbians get compared to twinks all the time but shoutout to butches who don’t look like twinks. shoutout to butches more on the bear end of the spectrum. shoutout to transmasc butches who go on testosterone and get top surgery. shoutout to transfem butches who keep their hair short and don’t shave and don’t go on estrogen. shoutout to butches who are fat. shoutout to butches who are disabled. shoutout to butches that aren’t white. shoutout to butches that look indistinguishable from cisgender men and wouldn’t want it any other way. shoutout to butches that are nonbinary and shoutout to butches that use neopronouns and have xenogenders. shoutout to butches that want to transition but can’t at the moment. shoutout to butches that dress and look however they want and don’t conform to the expectations of what butches “should” look like. y’all are cool as fuck
ok this is insane but like.. the new tumblrinas are more acclimated to the culture than some normal users. i mean it. like every single reddit refugee post has an INSANELY CLOSE like to reblog ratio and there all mutualing each other and sending each other asks and dms. like wtf. how are you better at this.
in all seriousness i think its because we welcomed them with such feral delight. like every single tumblr user individually saw the reddit refugees and were like "ok listen. we love you honey and hope you're feeling good and here are the instructions" and they did SO MUCH MORE THAN WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD!!! AND NOW ALL OF THEM ARE LIKE HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!!
and also not to keep going but i adore how everyone is so so emotional about this. like every single reddit refugee is like "oh my god why are you so nicee i havent felt this happy in years holy fuckkk..." and were all like "its ok!!! im so glad you are having fun you are doing such a good job yknow? youre perfect at this!!" anyways if YOURE a reddit refugee lets be mutuals
We've been let loose after staring at r/Tumblr posts for several years, our time is nigh
i need some of y'all to consider that maybe the reason you're celebrated, welcomed, and prioritized in trans spaces isn't bc you're trans masc but bc you're white, thin, and conventionally attractive.
like i want you to think about all the trans people you say are being prioritized in trans spaces and ask yourself: were they black or african? indigenous? latine? south, east, or west asian? pacific islander? visibly not white? jewish or romani? visibly religious? disabled? fat and hairy? balding? because if the answer is "well not really" then these spaces aren't "centering trans mascs" they're centering whiteness and white beauty.
genuinely what planet are y’all living on bc i have never been in a trans or queer space that assumed trans masc was the default.
this person is now trying to talk about making bras accessible for some reason and i am so fucking sick of y’all derailing conversations like this. it is fucking impossible to talk on this website or really anywhere about what it’s like to be a trans masculine person in trans spaces that do not want me bc i don’t fit the skinny culturally white aesthetic.
this post is supposed to encourage you to question why you never see black and brown trans masculine people being represented, why fat trans masculine people are constantly infantilized or demonized, why trans masculine people who are visibly part of a religious minority are pushed out, why spaces are inaccessible disabled trans masculine people. and instead it’s somehow now about why we should have more fundraisers for an item that is largely available and accessible online. please think about why you’re so uncomfortable with people having these conversations.
hate to say it but the key to having things solved by big company customer service is you just gotta stretch the truth with them. or straight up lie. actually. was on the phone for 3 hours because they sent something to the wrong address and spoke to 10 different departments trying to figure out if anyone could go fucking get it and they're like "uhhh but can you go get it" bitch I'm 8 hours away by car, I don't live in the house where you sent it.
took a moment to think, called back and was just like. Hi. My package was stolen off the porch!!! Saw the cunt steal it myself!! Anyway can you please send new things to this other address for free since that's your policy for stolen goods thank you~☆ ! and it was immediately solved.
actually my tags are too good not to include
follow me for more customer service tips and tricks
THIS is how it's done!!!
This list includes doctors in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe!
Even if you're not the target demographic, please share for any of your friends who may be.
And if you or someone you know would like to be added to the list, there's a place for that!
“that character is a war criminal” that character is from a fictional fantasy world and did not attend the geneva convention
hard agree with these tags specifically
no offense but if your friend is trying out a new hobby be fucking nice to them
can everyone with zero social skills stop commenting so aggressively on this post and revealing you've never had to deal with friends that have unpleasant traits
wow what a great day to be trans :)
happy wow what a great day to be trans Wednesday :D !
SPARKLE ON! ITS WEDNESDAY! BE TRANS!
