Sexual themes
Started Fallout 4 and was POSSESSED to give Nick and my Sole Survivor Lucille a Detective Serial cover!!! Wdym this game isn't just a retrofuture film noir adventure romance with Nick?
Barnes and Noble booksellers are working on forming a union as well!
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.
the general population’s education of indigenous american cultures is literally painful like people walk around not knowing that native americans domesticated dogs and turkeys, that many communities had farms that stretched for hundreds of miles, that many communities had completely terraformed their territories, that there were native trade systems stretching across the continent, that there were native metalsmiths before european arrival, that most native people were multilingual etc
also fed up with peoples assumption that sedentary cultures were “more advanced”. like sure, they had technology that hunter gatherer cultures didn’t, but that’s because the hunter gatherer cultures didn’t need those technologies. hunter gatherer cultures have their own ways of doing things, and they do it that way because it works for them. like what if i called you less advanced because you don’t know how to make a serrated arrowhead, and you don’t know how to work a bow drill or an atlatl or a long bow.
Hey, if you’re non-Native/not indigenous like me, I found this book to be helpful. It comes both as the original text for adult audiences and a version for young people that felt kinda like the history textbook I should have had in fourth-sixth grade.
If you paid ME all the money that tumblr I got paid, I would've spent it on smart stuff like medical debt and credit card bills and rent, instead of like, making this website even more ugly and unusable
No seriously, I'm a Black disabled lesbian with an alarming amount of debt + rent to pay in two weeks. I write, I make art, and I'm Charming. MONEY PLEASEEEEE!
Hello....HELLO!
ARCADE GANNON!!! !!!! !!
make contact in the emerald graves.
almost asleep but kept awake haunted by the fact that the dao party has 3 women and 4 men, sure 5 if u count loghain, but dai has 3 women and 6 men. how did you do it worse. it was five years later. how did you do it worse. WHO NEEDS SIX MEN
i checked and to make up the women deficit over the whole franchise including awakening we need eight more women in dreadwolf than there are men. someone call bioware abt that
No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.
DRAGON AGE INQUISITION → BASTION OF THE PURE
here's to the people who HAVEN'T "always" known they're trans. here's to the people who didn't realize it as a kid or a teen, but later in life. here's to the people who didn't know what being trans was until someone else introduced it to them.
i didn't realize i was trans until i was exposed to the term 'transgender' in my college's pride group. i didn't have a word for the feelings i was going through, so it took me a lot longer than others to realize what was going on. it's alright if that's you, too. you can realize it at any point in your life, doesn't matter when you realize it, you're still trans.
btw if we're mutuals i automatically think ur cooler than me. doesnt matter if we have been mutuals for 2 minutes or 3 years, if we are following each other u are cooler than me by default <3
my tumblr dashboard hasn't gotten the updated UI yet so hearing more and more people I follow gradually post about the nightmare they're currently living just feels like I'm in the first fifteen minutes of a horror series where Troubling News Stories are starting to crop up on the radio and on blurry background TV sets
The notes on this saying "Oh it was just so obvious I never even had to say anything" do you know how blindingly jealous I am (also go you!)
I have been wandering around, CUFFED jeans, SHAVED mullet, CARABINER AT THE HIP, RAINBOW pin on my lanyard at work, and my mother is still trying to set me up with my male friends.
I didn't come out so much as I persistently went ">:( Why does everyone talk about dating and sex and boys all the time and assume I'd want to do those things? That all seems very weird and boring and gross." and my mom was like "You might be asexual?" and, upon hearing what that entailed, I went "Yes, that is the thing that I am." and proceeded to tell people that so they would stop telling me about the dating and sex and boys they claimed I would totally be interested in, like, any day now.
And that was more than 20 years ago, and I was right.
For me, part of being queer is very much the age old story of having to perpetually decide, every day, who to be open with and how, and lol everyone gets shoved into these little boxes by me depending on how much emotional labor I feel like doing. I'm a millennial adult btw for context.
My family? I'm never formally confirming a damn thing, I do NOT want to have any conversations about it. Just letting them make their own assumptions with my years of short "masc" hair (they've kind of finally come around to it though I still get a few comments of "oh your longer hair used to look so nice" every once in a blue moon) and other presentation, and carefully not answering questions about getting a partner/husband and having kids. And lol it's getting more and more obvious as I get older and older.....
My friends? I did bring up, over time and multiple conversations, about first my asexuality, then my gender stuff and pronouns, and not the romance stuff yet since that's still in development. I still need to remind folks of my pronouns fairly regularly though 😮💨
My work? I actually decided to go for it and be out shortly after I was hired at my current company, so to my coworkers and in my email signature block my pronouns are right there. I also have to remind them regularly since it hasn't stuck except for a couple folks. I definitely don't bother to come out in any way to my clients. It's a little :/ to be perpetually addressed as Miss [name] but ehhhhh I'm used to it at this point as a tradeoff.
Randomly in the community? Lol actually in various community settings online and in brick space I'm pretty loud about being queer, something something strangers and also specifically welcoming communities. Wearing my new favorite tank top from @nerdykeppie that says "Be they/ Do crime" certainly helps me find my peeps haha :D Other times I do my thing and keep my mouth shut because I have no interest or energy to get into it with some rando.
reminder to folks that if you never come out, or only do it selectively, YOU'RE FINE. The most important thing is your safety, and only you can determine your calculations for risk and reward about that, nobody else. I love you, be safe 💜
