heyo just a psa: gc2b is not safe anymore. old binders from them are fine but new ones are way lower quality and will almost certainly mess up your ribs (think warping or breaks). don't get binders from amazon because they also tend to be dangerous. underworks seems to have maintained their good ratings, so if you need a binder consider going with them, and remember to always do your own research :D

underworks has two collections of binders now: the original, which were meant for cis men with gynecomastia, and the newer one which was designed more with trans men's needs/proportions in mind

“they’re faking” I dont care. id rather give help and support and resources to people who dont need them than not give those things to those who do.

“Its for attention” I dont care. If someone is so deprived of the human need for attention that theyd do that, they need help

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

Where do I copy-paste these to? "My filters"? "My Rules"?

'my filters'! if you look closely you'll notice the format is different between the two pages. the (website)(##)(additional text) format goes in filters

The reason terfs define gender/sex as biological like the patriarchy also does is because defining it by exploitation, power and and class interests would include trans women as women since they disproportionately face sexual violence, intimate partner violence, street harassment and vigilante violence including murder, and are paid less than their cis peers because of their gendered position within patriarchy as an acceptable outlet for abuse and discrimination similar to other women.

……… seeing people in my notes who seem to believe the only way workers could possibly be exploited is if they are not unionized, so obviously the solution that will automatically fix the problem is to form a union……………… hm.

the whole point of a union is it allows workers a mechanism for collective bargaining but that’s the thing. you still gotta do the bargaining!!! and after the contracts are in place you KNOW the bosses are still going to exploit their workers to the greatest extent they possibly can. people seem to think that forming a union is the end goal and while yes it is hugely important it is still literally just the first step in a CONSTANT neverending battle for workers’ rights

There needs to be way, way more of a conversation about how being unable to drive in America means you don’t get to participate in society. That shit is genuinely life ruining. My neuro shit has kept me from driving my whole life and it’s always meant I can’t go do stuff I want to, I can’t get the trade jobs I know I’d be good at, I can’t even see the people I want to. Unless you’re in one of a handful of major cities in the US with decent transit systems, you’re basically expected to drop dead if you can’t drive.

So far one of the biggest differences between reddit and tumblr for me is that there's no pressure to create a "good" post. There's no button to reduce the number of notes a post has (unless you're the source of one of those notes, which I mean hey, you gave me these imaginary internet numbers in the first place, feel free to rescind them for any reason).

There's no bots that will automatically delete my post because I didn't have 10,000 tumbloints, users don't seem to come out of the woodwork to disparage your post if it doesn't meet some invisible standard of content (and if they do you can just block them)

I've had a reddit account for 14 years and I think you can already get a better picture of who I am as a person in my less then 12 hours of tumblr shitblogging.

Anyway, thanks tumblr friends for being so welcoming.

No amount of conditional acceptance based on body size & shape feels as good as not being sorted into “failed sex object” and “useful sex object” feels.

Stop trying to work your way to the top of a damaging hierarchy based on physical appearance and start working to tear it all down. Demand that you, and especially the people treated like they’re lower than you by this hierarchy, be treated with respect and care, and not evaluated on appearance and size.

The whole hierarchy is all bullshit based on objectification, and even the women who “win” are only getting the dubious prize of being treated better bc of their usefulness as aesthetic objects.

You shouldn’t have to deny yourself the basic comfort of food and rest and demand pain and misery of yourself and alienate yourself from your own body just to win the prize of being better-accepted as an aesthetic object. No one should.

You shouldn’t be discriminated against legally or economically and treated badly in interpersonal interactions because you don’t look like the current aesthetic trends. No one should.

You shouldn’t have to wonder if the people around you really like, respect or value you or if they just think of you as a pretty object. No one should.

Tear it all down.

You deserve respect. We all do.

i see a lot of people say that the reason cds became obsolete is because they have worse audio quality, which isn’t true. they actually tend to have better audio than both vinyl and free streaming platforms. although old vinyl did have very high audio quality, cds have a more dynamic range and thus will have a stronger bass. however, most modern vinyls don’t cut from analog tapes (which is why the sound of old vinyl was so high quality) but instead from digital files which tend to be lower in quality than both cds and streaming. this is due to time and money constraint, since making vinyl is pretty expensive, especially for smaller/indie producers. and then obviously cds also sound better than streaming since most streaming services use a compressed audio file (meaning less bitrates), so the sounds are gonna be less dynamic and although some streaming services offer higher audio quality through lossless compression, those tend to be a bit pricier. and obviously i’m not saying one way to listen to music is better than the other or anything like that, in fact i do use all three mediums to listen to music, but from the audio prospective cds are actually a great and relatively cheap way to listen to music!!

and some articles i read that go way more in depth and cover the science of this stuff

In complete seriousness, they need to make laws about ads that say they can take no more than one, maybe two, clicks/taps to close/skip. No more "wait 10 seconds until you can skip the video, wait 10 seconds until you can skip the fake playable ad, wait 5 seconds until you can close the 'download now' overlay, puts up a half-screen in-app appstore pop-up (which at least you can close immediately)." This should literally be illegal to do.

society's infantilization of decorated objects is honestly one of the greatest recent crimes against humans' innate desire for beauty
