REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.
Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.
I had this work friend at my previous job who was gay. Lovely kid, from a kind of traditional family.
He hadn't told anyone he was gay, because he was scared of being judged. But... thanks to the resident lesbian, he was outed to everyone without his knowledge because she clocked him and asked everyone about it while he was off work.
Everyone then put the clues they'd noticed on their own together rather than what they were doing beforehand, that being remaining blissfully and politely unaware of how his variety of behaviours linked back to him being gay.
Had I already clocked him? Absolutely. But I should not have been told about him, before he chose to come out to me.
This pride month, remember that even in the most accepting of environments, even if you personally feel comfortable being out where you are, that doesnt mean someone else around you is too. Do not assume that someone is comfortable with everyone knowing, or that everyone knows.
Because we might not have known. That person might not have told us yet. We might have been politely ignoring the signs because we didn't want to assume.
It's not your place to tell everyone someone else's business.
Pro tip:
You do not out queer people, no matter who they are or what they did.
"But what if..."
Do I have to tap the fucking sign?
You do not out queer people, no matter who they are or what they did.
You do not out queer

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Tumblr Migration 2: Reddit Boogaloo
We all know about the Twitter immigrants, but there seems to be radio silence on what's happening now with Reddit users from certain subreddits doing a similar thing.
What's happening?
Reddit is restricting their API later this month and killing off third-party apps. An AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO Steve Hoffman was held and it was clear that he would continue with the changes.
In protest, thousands of subreddits across the site are planning to go dark for 48 hours on June 12th. Some are planning to continue indefinitely until the changes are reversed.
Okay, so how does this affect Tumblr?
Some subreddits (mainly queer and left-leaning meme ones, don't worry too much about Reddit Atheists™ overrunning us) are encouraging their users to jump ship to our beloved - and beloathed - hellsite. There will be another influx of new users and many will be unfamiliar with how the site works.
What do us Tumblr users do?
Show them how to use the site; introduce them to the site's culture, tell them to reblog shit and curate their dashboard. Sorta like how we welcomed Twitter users back when they flocked here. Kungpowpenising optional.
I'm new from Reddit, what do I do here?
CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND BANNER TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT BECAUSE THIS SITE IS FILLED WITH BOTS AND YOU MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ONE. This is the FIRST thing you should do after getting a blog.
Other folks can help you with stuff like curating your dashboard or creating sideblogs (or you can look shit up) but please, PLEASE just give yourself an icon and reblog some stuff so people don't mistake you for a bot
I have been insulted
:thumbsup:
Should I be concerned?
Reblog to give your followers each their own sword.

I had to, I can’t risk it
Please reblog to increase data size. Please also add how long you think it would take and why.
so my apartment building got a notice board to post fire alarm tests and maintenance announcements and such. the building is pretty well-maintained, so we rarely get notices. the board is big and grey and to think it would be empty like that 99% of the time was a bland boring sin i just couldn't bear, so i vandalized the corner of its empty canvas with a teeny tiny Guy
and within a few days, there was a sudden addition from my one of my neighbors along with a Bunch of thumbtacks. this was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!
well there was still so much space, i figured i'd add another crumb to the art hoard. i'd been playing genshin that day so i drew my favorite grandpa
and like clockwork, new art manifested!! this person is gonna grow to be a great artist i know it. the detail in those stones? hell yeah that's cool.
we're two weeks into it. more neighbors have joined in with their artwork. who knew there were so many artists in my building?? we're onto somethin great here i just know it.
update: ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS DREW VENTI TO GO WITH MY GENSHIN GRANDPA I'M —
WHO DID THIS
i am retaliating i NEED to know who did this
JOJO HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
This is what 'living in a community' is supposed to mean
Please reblog this so that I can get a bigger sample size, but DO NOT include anything in the tags about the results, as that could influence other responses
Hey guys, just a warning because I feel like this bot is targeting LGBT tagged items. If you get a message like this one, you won’t be able to view the post if you click because it will send you to an endless log in screen or tell you you need to follow the person to see their stuff. It’s a dummy account.
The message is designed to be upsetting so you will want to click it and see the contents.
I was upset enough to click but luckily I was in the app so i knew it didn’t make sense to ask me to log in again. I then looked CLOSELY at the log in page and realized the url is fake. This is a phishing attempt and I don’t want any other lgbt people to be taken in by it. Be careful out there.
Never EVER login to ANYWHERE from a link.
I work closely with IT and have known guys that got their paychecks stolen by doing that. If uh click a link and it prompts you go login? Fuck that. Back the fuck out.
I was actually tasked with testing clients security by making fake logins on sites to get usernames and passwords.

Listen listen listen listen. When people come to your country and you say "prepare for rain" you gotta be SPECIFIC because there are DIFFERENT KINDS OF RAIN.
I grew up in a temperate boreal rainforest. It rained all the time there, so I developed an overinflated confidence in my ability to go about my day while it was raining. I walked to school in the rain. I worked outside in the rain. Rain is rain, right? So when I went to Chicago and they were like "Yeah Yeah don't do shit outside when it's raining" I thought, damn. Yall weak.
Guys.
Guys.
Pacific northwest rain can be anything from "faint mist that might as well be damp air" to "fat pellets hitting your face and soaking through your clothes". The worst I ever saw was "wind blowing heavy rain sideways under the front door". Like, aggressive shower spray rain.
I went to Illinois and DROWNED. It was like I got dunked in a bathtub. I couldn't see two feet in front of my face. It was like stepping out of your house directly into the world's widest waterfall. I damn near couldn't breathe the way it was streaming down my face.
England rain is more like Pacific Northwest rain, but shorter and more sporadic. What London gets in a day in mid summer, Vancouver gets in 3-4 days in late spring. And it smells more metallic, where Vancouver kinda always smells a bit like moss.
Please, for the love of God, explain what you mean by "rainy". Like do I need a light jacket or a riot shield. Am I about to get power hosed or are my gumboots good. I'm begging
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
STOP REBLOGGING THIS if this gets notes op is going to post the leonardo dicaprio pointing image
