Tumblr "feminists": yuri is for men
Twitter dudebro weebs: yuri is for men
Yuri authors: Don't forget to block the annoying heteros (Iori Miyazawa) don't use my characters in your gross homophobic memes (Nio Nakatani) I'm making this manga free because I am a lesbian and I want to spread awareness and someday be able to get married to another woman in my home country (Alt Hanakage)
Now that I'm home from work I actually want to go into a bit more detail!
Iori Miyazawa (Otherside Picnic) - had a rather long rant in an interview about readers who are locked into "heterocentric values" and don't accept that lesbians actually exist, he suggested blocking them when you encounter them on social media.
Nio Nakatani (Bloom Into You) - Sayaka's homophobic senpai was a meme for a while with Japanese edgelords who used her as a sort of Homophobic Hero, so she lambasted them on twitter
Alt Hanakage (Senpai no Kouhai) - is an out lesbian who has talked about how her personal experiences inform her work. She made a short manga called "Ring On My Finger" about her frustration at being unable to marry another woman and made it available for free because she wants more people to understand her frustration.
And while I'm here I also want to shout out this butch x butch yuri anthology, which was spearheaded by yuri artist Natsuo Mutsumi (self-described nonbinary lesbian) and features work by many other LGBTQ mangaka including Alt Hanakage (mentioned above) and trans artist Nekobungi Sumire (who has a tumblr!! @ nekobungi )
working out is great. it's the masturbation of getting beat up

I’ll go alone. Boss, what are you—?! There’s no need for that.
I mentioned it before but it is very striking to me that as of the last tumblr update, there are now no (0) ways to open someone's desktop blog from a dashboard post. like you can't access the url dot tumblr dot com page at all now unless you already know it exists. imo this seems like a canary that personal blog pages will be gone very shortly, which would suck, since to me that is one of the only good things this site has going for it
Correction: you can still open the top-level URL.tumblr.com link from someone's avatar on the dashboard (so, someone you follow). Actually, I should specify. Here's a post on the dashboard with seven ways to access a post:
- Followed blog avatar: Hyperlink, opens in new tab, to URL1.tumblr.com.
- Reblogger URL: Hyperlink, opens in new tab, to tumblr.com/URL1.
- Reblogged-from URL: Same as #2, but to tumblr.com/URL2.
- Uhh... hitbox?: Whatever this is can't be opened in a new tab and doesn't even look like a link, but clicking on it opens the dashboard view of tumblr.com/URL1/post.
- Copy link under meatball menu: Not a hyperlink, but copies to the clipboard tumblr.com/URL1/post?trackinginfo.
- OP URL: Same as #2 and #3, but to tumblr.com/URL3.
- Other... hitbox... thing: Same as #4, but to tumblr.com/URL3/post.
So you can access the custom blog, but not a post on a custom blog, despite the plethora of links. Very annoying.
No, here’s the worst part: you can indeed get the link of the post you are clicking on and view it on the person’s custom blog!
IT’S JUST ON THE FUCKING MEATBALL MENU TIMESTAMP INSTEAD FOR SOME REASON I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS SITE
oh my god
