i said wat i said

Genuinely did Wildbow even read Ward

I'm not sure he read worm

gotta say i don't like how many "how to pass ftm" guides are straight up just like. be monotone and uninterested and don't engage in your "feminine" hobbies and don't wear bright colors and don't be polite and don't smile at people and don't show emotion ever. like how precisely is this a healthy thing to be teaching people (especially the young people these are often targeted at)??? i am a bubbly boy. a cheerful chap. a merry man. a good-humored guy. a glowing gent. a veritable ray of fucking sunshine and i am NOT toning that down!!!! fuck you!!!!!!!

yes!!! you absolutely can!!!!!!! our political oppressors want us at best downtrodden to the point of self-imposed invisibility and at worst DEAD so the best thing YOU can do is be loudly, riotously, joyously trans!!! our happiness is both a weapon against those that seek to destroy us and a shield against everything they throw our way. go spread love and joy and transsexuality <333

not to call all young people snowflakes or anything but i do think a lot of people are soooo averse to anything that makes them uncomfortable (and tend to conflate things that make them uncomfortable with being problematic) and that’s why we have all this dumb sex scene discourse and grown adults who only watch kids stuff and nostalgia-bait and why hollywood is refusing to release anything interesting (because if it makes people uncomfy they won’t make $$$). and it’s so sad like sometimes a piece of art does make you sick to your stomach or make you jump out of your skin or make you weep or turn you on. and that’s a beautiful wonderful thing!!! that’s what art is for!! to let you access all sorts of crazy emotions you can’t access in boring everyday life!!! that’s what makes you feel human!!

I like how from the perspective of a follower someone getting their life together to the point that they no longer post is exactly indistinguishable from them getting killed by a gas explosion

making tumblr useable in 2023 be like

Do you guys think Julian’s parents had a bad relationship, which lead to his negative views on the concept of marriage? Or was he just a professional slut and hater

I think lemurs are just like that

HASHTAG STAR TREK HASH TAG STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE HASHTAG JULIAN BASHIR

um......that's not how tumblr tags work.

BLOCK BUTTON

The ninth doctor was so insane fr he was like I watched my planet get destroyed and I can't share this trauma with anyone. I will fix this by befriending a human girl and taking her to see her planet get destroyed. This is normal behaviour.

@problematiclgbtfavesbracket can you please reblog my propaganda to inform the iasip fans. i don't know what mac did but amy dallon sexually assaulted her sister, brainwashed her to make her return incestuous attraction, and turned her into a gigantic car-sized puddle of flesh with multiple heads/tits/etc. also she stole some of her sister's skin and grafted it onto her own skin and just walked around with it on. groomed a child too at one point if my memory serves. also some other stuff. mac simply does not have anything on her. you can't get more problematic than amelia dallon.

different modes of a bun

I can see why the transgender community really enjoyed ultrakill, it hit all of their favorite points: drum n bass, the consumption of blood, shooting cool ass guns at demons, gm_construct, endless violence and killing, the tension between that which is mechanical and that which is divine. There’s even a robot in a skirt

reading worm is an experience for many reasons but especially the way wildbow manages to write a story that depicts women with incredible nuance struggling to navigate a system that was designed to fail them from the start in variety of ways (taylor facing vicious harassment for failing to meet societal standards and being seen as weak + her internalized misogyny, amy's whole deal but especially the expectation on her that she will be the healer at her own expense, victoria "cop" dallon embracing expectations and becoming a weapon for the state, aisha fighting to be noticed as a human being and not a prop or an inconvenience, rachel rejecting it altogether) that critiques the social infrastructure enabling and encouraging their suffering and then he turns around implies or even outright says shit like "women are inherently more emotional, lesbianism that isn't predatory is pandering, and rachel is ugly and disgusting for being butch" like hello. how did you manage to write this book. who even are you

Me, looking at the reception to the practically core audience of Lancer, to the proudly defiant queer community of Battletech, the puppygirl memes by the baker’s dozen coming from Armored Core 6:

Ah, yea… The personification of war through the lens of human-shaped war machines, the dare I say, humanisation of it… The dehumanisation of the self through incredible violence and awe-inspiring, horrifying ability to wreak destruction on a massive scale… and yet the addicting feeling of power, power projected from a single human form… the blurred line of man vs machine and man and machine… the bond between a mech pilot and her steed, a bond which becomes a hazy mixture when people begin to refer to her not by her name but by the name of her mech, and vice versa, and she herself does not think of her ride as just a simple metal vehicle, yet also does not separate it entirely from being an extension of herself… the blending of human superstitions that have lasted thousands of years that has led us to personify things, vessels are ladies, tanks are cocky little assholes, and mechs run the gamut from refined ladies to barely coherent, instinctive and destructive dogs barely kept back on leashes… the fetishism and eroticism displayed in how all these elements are treated, wherein the pilot becomes machine and the machine becomes pilot, all viewed and utilised, knowingly or knowingly, in a dare I say uniquely queer lens…

I’ve seen this all before…

… shipgirls…

YALL REALLY DO BRING THIS BACK EVERY SEPTEMBER

I love opening up this website first thing like the morning paper and immediately seeing multiple posts like "how to get rid of the evil clown on the dashboard". like oh is this what we're doing today

I'm gonna start adding this to every post I see about this advertising bs that tumblr are pulling

not only is it annoying, and in some countries probably illegal for not declaring a paid partnership

TUMBLR IS CROSSING THE PICKET LINE

They are taking money from Netflix to promote a show.

Actors and writers are unable to promote work because of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Netflix is under the AMPTP, so it is a struck company, making One Piece a struck work.

So they are using alternate ways of promoting their products, including paying companies like tumblr.

Both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have made statements saying that they consider anyone or company taking payment to promote struck work as crossing the picket line.

Tumblr is spitting in the face of struggling actors and writers to make a quick buck from Netflix

That’s not how that works. Tumblr isn’t acting in a capacity as a writer or an actor; they’re acting as a fancy billboard. Advertising is only struck in the context of actors doing the promo things they’re expected to do as part of a pre-release media circuit. Dave Actorman stars in Upcoming Film, so he goes on Jimmy Fallon to promote it and hypes it up on social media, that kind of thing. If Dave Actorman kept retweeting the trailer for Upcoming Film, that’d be crossing the picket line. But other forms of advertising are still allowed. It’s not crossing a picket line for YouTube to host that trailer, for example, or for McDonald’s to have a special Upcoming Film meal, or for Spotify to make a playlist for Upcoming Film’s main character.

tshirt that says NO LIVE ORGANISM CAN CONTINUE FOR LONG TO EXIST SANELY UNDER CONDITIONS OF ABSOLUTE REALITY

people don't talk enough about the trauma callouts can cause and the fact people can and will use them maliciously to destroy the social life and often livelihood of people they just don't like (often out of bigotry too!) since that would require applying critical thinking to what you read and understanding that you can't just go "oh shit this person is being called out they must be Bad"

if you've been maliciously called out i love you. if you have trauma from being called out i love you

wanted these tags on my blog

holy shit the dashboard unfucker is such a lifesaver. i also just find it such a funny marriage of tumblr's bad web design and the tumblr userbase's resistance to change is that the response to any new update is 'okay, let's figure out how we put it back'

like a week after i made this post, tumblr staff decided to put an evil clown on everyone's dashboard
