Some transphobe asked me the last time I had an original thought because I was explaining sex has never been binary and gender has always been a spectrum. first of all, buddy. There is almost no combination of words that can be thought that hasn’t already been thunk (not a word but flows nicely, so pretend it is) second of all…

Thursday, Six thirty-seven PM, it came to me like the first rays of light of a new day, or a lightning strike from the blue… google is a resource that allows the world to be at our fingertips. Its as easy as typing in a few words to enlighten ourselves in this amazing modern era, and yet here you are, fighting a 19 year old over indisbutable historical, and biological facts (I mentioned the castrati, native American gender roles, ancient greek trans myth, and trans clownfish in my original comment)

Suffice to say he hasn’t hit me back with a reply yet. I doubt he will.

#beating transphobes with the power of absurdity #he asked a question he got an answer #a bullshit answer but an answer nonetheless

As usual, @socialjust-ish leaves the gold in the tags and it’s up to me to mine them.

funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls

Wild how the queer community has been fighting tooth and nail for generations to have some semblance of inclusion and just the desire to not be beaten, arrested, or killed for existing.

Then there is less than 10 years of policies put in place to help us start being treated more humanely and the Conservative party is like “Actually we rather you die again” openly and proudly.

Wild how allowing ppl to live has made them so angry and more open about their fascism.

Meanwhile half of the younger queers online are too preoccupied with terminology and gatekeeping fandom engagement while our country actively works to eradicate the community honing social media to propagate propaganda.

to-draw-time

It is going to sound mean and im not gonna sugarcoat it:

Telling other lgbtqia members that using the term “queer” is problematic and bad is more aligned with conservative’s views of hiding and destroying queerness. When you get that gatekeeping towards your own community you are making it easier to break us apart.

WHAT OMG IS THIS HOW I FIND OUT

wolven-chimera-2023

Unfortunately Trump’s arrest is only a formality due to the trial. We’re honestly blowing it out of proportion, we’re just saying he’s had his miranda rights read to him and he’s been taken into custody for the duration of today’s hearing. He’s not going to jail (today) he’s just covering the formalities of such. (Getting his mugshot, fingerprints, etc.)

So, I looked in the comments, expecting to see discourse or historical background etc, but I found none. Therefore, I decided to learn more and add background. Apparently this machine was used because of polio because polio paralyzes your lungs. According to the wiki article on this bad boy, patients would spend two weeks in there sometimes. They still have these machines, though much, much more modern but they’re barely used at all anymore: “In 1959, there were 1,200 people using tank respirators in the United States, but by 2004 there were only 39. By 2014, there were only 10 people left with an iron lung.” (x)

I’ve read about one man who still lives in an iron lung. He taught himself how to breathe again by gulping down air, but it’s quite laborious because of the paralysis. His name is Paul Alexander, and he’s a lawyer. He’s 71 years old and has spent 65 years in an iron lung. Wild, right? He’s been working on a memoir that he was inspired to write by the recent resurgence of cases of polio caused by anti-vaccers.

It’s amazing to me to recognize that we only defeated polio in this past century - that my mother’s father had it (he got lucky, it only deformed his feet and thereby kept him out of a couple wars); my mother got the big vaccination that left her upper arm scarred; and by the time I was vaccinated, polio basically didn’t exist. My grandfather must have been born like around 1900, so - in the space of less than 75 years, this was no longer something that parents dreaded the possibility of every summer.

In the 1950s, my mother would go to the corner shop. The owners had a daughter a few years older than my mum. She lived in an iron lung in the back of the shop. Vaccinate your fucking kids.

shadowphoenixrider

Reminder that children were in these iron lungs. Children who just wanted their mums and dads, or wanted to cuddle their precious stuffed toy, but couldn’t because of the nature of these machines. Crying because they don’t want to go in this big scary tank, but if they don’t go in the iron lung they would die.

And there’d be hospital wards of these.

This BBC documentary is an excellent one to watch, first as just as a history into the polio vaccine’s creation and why it was important, but also to get a glimpse of the iron lungs in action - 6:58 is when you can see footage of children in these things.

The polio vaccine exists so children wouldn’t have to have a machine breathe for them. All vaccines exist because we don’t want people to suffer. Please vaccinate and get vaccinated.

beesandwasps

Incidentally: I had an elderly friend (now, alas, dead) who had polio as a child and recovered entirely (polio wasn’t fatal in a majority of cases! Most people recovered without visible damage!), and they were extremely healthy and active, and when they were very very old, like in their 80s, they suddenly developed this extremely strange syndrome where they had difficulty initiating or stopping motion — for example, they had trouble going from standing still to walking, and then trouble going from walking to standing still again. The doctors said, flat out: “this is a known long-term complication of polio and it comes from nerve damage but we have no idea how to treat it because so few people develop it in modern times that it has barely been studied using modern equipment”. So: even if you survive diseases without vaccination you can still have long-term complications — and a lot of researchers are worried about what’s coming from covid in that direction. Vaccinate!

When I see important news:

Check reputable news sites.
Check Tumblr for the SPN news meme. Happy Arrest Day to those of us who celebrate!

If you're new to tumblr from reddit, we don't do down vote here.

We have a much more …elegant system in place, which I’m sure one of my mutuals would be willing to demonstrate here.

Anonymous asked:

oh I wasn’t aware it was feeding the ai. I’ve inserted hundreds of fics into chatgpt for their continuation or for a different plot within the same context just for fun and out of curiosity… but I’ve never posted any of them…

wangxianficfinder answered:

Indeed, anything that is given to AI it can use later to draw from. That's why it doesn't matter if you post them or not as it has now access to those writers' texts without their permission.

Please do not do this! I'm happy to talk about 'what ifs' or 'what happens next' even if I can't write a whole fic but PLEASE don't put any fics into AI!

#i'm so exhausted#fic being scraped off ao3 by bots is bad enough#readers actually FEEDING fic into AI is breaking my actual heart#DO NOT EVER FEED FIC INTO AI WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S PERMISSION#99.999% of authors are THRILLED to discuss AUs for their fics#the 'what ifs'#the 'missing scenes'#the possible alternate outcomes#JUST ASK THE AUTHOR TO CHAT WITH YOU ABOUT THIS#most of us would cry with joy if you gave us the chance to ramble about our fics!#DO NOT FEED MY FICS TO AI PLEASE I BEG YOU -@cicerfics

^^^^ 10000%

Plus, it's just kinda insulting to have an AI finish our works when we spend forever on it. They're our babies and fic writing is so hard. I talk so much about this community slowly killing off fanfic writers and here's just another way. Respect writers please, shits hard. They're the literal BACKBONE of this community so please please PLEASE be kinder and more aware of this kind of stuff.

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

saltyflump

This is one of the first posts I've seen after trying to look at Tumblr again, so I've decided to head their advice and reblog this. I don't even know what a reblog is but I'll find out in time. It's a learning process

lyridmeteorshower

a reblog is what you just did! it's similar to a retweet on twitter and it's the main way things spread on tumblr
