intrulogical moodboard for @astriisscreamingatthemselves!

This ^^^ is good info. Love the examples of how invalidators work their toxic magic. BOOST.

Reblogged for a Follower who wanted the signs of emotional abuse.

Hey! Its my life!

Rethinking a lot of interactions rn...

This is a really great video about the willful racism in how US history is taught. And if you can’t afford to watch all 29 minutes. If someone tells you “we aren’t a racist country anymore” speak up and say “white supremacy did not ever go away, it adapted.”

Respectability politics will not save us.

Throwing other members of our communities under the bus will not save us.

Bullying those with uncommon labels or pronouns will not save us.

Assimilation will not save us.

Denial and erasure of queer history will not save us.

Shaming polyamorous and/or kinky queer people for celebrating the overlap between our communities, histories, and cultures won't save us.

Erasing all identities beyond those deemed acceptable to our oppressors will not save us.

Limiting the acronym to four letters won't save us.

The rejection of asexual and aromantic people will not save us.

Beating pansexual people back into the closet or under the bisexual label will not save us.

Speaking over the intersex community and intersex activists will not save us.

Demeaning those of us who dare to imagine new ways of forming (queerplatonic) relationships won't save us.

Shaming people within our communities for creating new labels and terms won't save us.

The medicalization of transness will not save us.

Nonbinary exclusionism will not save us.

Queerphobia will not save us.

None of these things combats heteronormativity or cisnormativity or patriarchy. The infighting makes our communities less organized and less united.

Attacking our own will only ever benefit our oppressors.

(ID: white text over a red and black gradient that reads "respectability politics will never protect you from our oppressors".)

THIS IS THE CUTEST POST EVER

(Image description: a photo of a pink, white, and green lollipop on a pink background, black text inside a black square reads "abrosexual people are sweet".)

I've never had a more accurate meme

Its okay to use galaxian terms to describe your gender, you are allowed to use whatever label fits you the best, despite what other people have to say

Reblog this if your sanity is being assaulted by an obnoxiously large video ad for an Amazon Prime Video series called ‘The Boys’

THE BOYS

Every time I open this goddamn app-

i do not have an explanation for this

Doodle dump

over five hundred people in the US and Canada have gotten salmonella linked to onions.

all Thomson onions in the US from between May and August have been recalled

the affected brands are:

if you cannot tell the brand of your onion to explicitly identify it as not on this list, throw it out

https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2020/08/thomson-recalls-all-onions-from-the-entire-u-s-because-of-link-to-salmonella-newport-outbreak/

this is fucking WILD

DESTROY ALL MYSTERY ONIONS

first of all, just to be clear, the link by op is dated August 2nd, 2020. second of all, this seems like a good time to remember the new report about salmonella bacteria evolving to hide in iceberg lettuce leaves by entering stomata, aka, the tiny openings in leaves to let the plant breathe, meaning that they’re evading the plants’ immune response and it’s significantly harder to wash them away. idk if this applies because onions and lettuce are completely different plants, but now seems like a good idea to remember that 1. salmonella outbreaks have been increasing for decades at least between the years of 1970 and 1999, and this kind of weird bacterial evolution is a proposed reason why/a factor that may be contributing, and 2. the innately cursed information that onions are made of modified leaves. the photosynthetic leaves grow out the top of the onion into the very obvious leaves that get cut off before the grocery store, but the bulb parts of the onion itself are extremely fleshy leaves evolved into compact scale-like structures to protect the really tiny stem.  

and…..those modified leaves have stomata. not as many as like, a normal leaf, but they’re there. i’m not enough of an expert on like, onion science to be like ‘yes this is what’s happening’, because it just as well could be run of the mill contamination, but that’s what comes to mind. 

anyway. yes. destroy mystery onions 

I found an old rusty USB in the basement today should I see if anything’s on it

oh we’re off to a good start

These were the only two pictures on it, like 8 folders deep.

Anyone know… Gallifreyan?????

ALSO there were a bunch of ancient (okay from 2014) SCP games on it?? and a Gameboy Emulator and a copy of the game Lifehouse, based off the concept album The Who tried to write in the 70’s, but Pete Townsend got too lost in the sauce or whatever and had a mental breakdown and never finished it

Thank u for your translation also I don’t know how to feel about this but based on the name of the USB I can’t say I’m surprised

Ok but real talk here, big, important question for everyone:

Why do you like but not reblog?

It feels like the bare minimum in fandom to reblog stuff you like. It’s the easiest way to support artists/writers and guarantee they do more of that same kind of thing.

I thought of some reasons people might not want to reblog and I’m going to debunk them:

Reblog = repost and reposts are evil!!!

Reblogging is too much effort!!

I don’t want to tag things though

I DO want to tag things but I feel like I’m bothering people

If I reblog things a lot, it’ll annoy people!

Reblogging doesn’t fit my blog aesthetic.

Reblogging is an important part of fandom/tumblr community in general. It encourages more people to make more content which means more things for you to do/see/read.

It’s part of the fandom ecosystem; we have content makers and we have content viewers. Without makers, we have no art. Without viewers, there’s no reason to post it online. If viewers are limited, people start reconsidering whether to bother posting their art online or just share it with their friends they know will give feedback.

Reblogs are how you contribute to the fandom. Try it.

NO I MEAN REBLOG THIS TOO

Literally, it's very important to share things. If you see someone going through and liking everything but not sharing it (which happens to me a lot) it genuinely gets you wondering what's wrong with your work that they don't wanna share it publically. It makes you feel like an art-robot.

I hope black girls with depression have a good day today.

I hope black girls with Anxiety have a great day today

I hope my black girls with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have a great day

i hope my black girls w personality disorders and PTSD have a good day today

I hope black girls with ADHD and/or autism have a good day

I hope black girls suffering from chronic pain have a good day

I hope black girls with eating disorders have a good day

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.

“Slutantions” has me crying laughing

i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.

“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry

love,

blue”

the subject line was “OW”

THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”

i’m just vibing at this point

i love him 🥺
