Deathtoyouandtoyours - Get Off My Blog

Reblog to open a rail line from your blog to the person you reblogged this from

"you're an adult. I know you can't move out yet, but stand up to your parents. Don't be so spineless."

You don't fucking understand. My safety has been threatened over the smallest things. They haven't hit me as an adult, but one of them definitely would if I gave a good enough reason, and the other enables it.

The worst they've done recently is toss drinks on me or throw candy or whatever at me (which is harmless coming from one of them and ambiguous from the other) or get into some psychological or emotional abuse. That's lessened for now too, but only until we move out and they can corner me in a time and place where no one can see or hear either of us.

If I do fight back and it gets violent, I can't do anything about it. They might kick me out. I have nowhere to go. I don't have nearly enough money to sustain myself and most of my clothes are unwearable. It's winter. I could die.

So I'm glad you can do that, but we aren't all so fortunate.

Don't you dare. They used to be merged until orange trees> orange fruit> orange color.

It's why we have terms like "red fox," or "red head" when they're usually more orange.

Please don't send us back to the middle ages. I'm on my knees begging. We'll have dumbasses within a few years asking stupid shit like "why is called an orange if it's red or yellow?" Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.

If you could make a new color what would you name it and how does it sound more real than magenta.

oh oh oh!! I have a really cool fact as part of my answer!!

Okay, so you know how colour is a spectrum, right? Your eyes only REALLY perceive blends of three base colours- red, blue, and green. (Yes, green.) All other colours are blends of these three primaries- red and green make yellow, red and blue make magenta, and blue and green make cyan.

As you mentioned, magenta is a ""fake"" color- this is because colours are made of waves! The waves on the red end of the spectrum are Low Frequency and the waves on the blue end are High Frequency. You'd *think" halfway between both wavelengths would be the result, but that's green, and we already have a colour for green! So to fix this paradox, the line from red to blue becomes a circle and we see magenta instead!

Now again, this spectrum- it looks like this:

And most of the world recognizes the six listed colours as distinct. Which means that we take this blended gradient and add hard lines, like this, to clearly separate them from each other:

BUT, not all societies do this!! There are some whose languages don't *have* different words for "blue" or "green", and as a result, people raised speaking these languages have a REALLY HARD TIME distinguishing between what we recognize as "obviously" either green OR blue.

THEIR colour spectrum looks like this:

Which is correct and valid and makes COMPLETE sense, because we argue about differences in colour all the fucling time- "is this dark blue or dark purple", "is this neon yellow or neon green", and "is this orange or red" are some common examples. Any of those in-betweens could be treated as whole and distinct blocks with distinct boundaries.

And so, I propose this:

We merge orange and red cause i can't be fucking arsed

anyone else live under the assumption that they’re constantly doing something wrong

Squirmy boi

Does anyone else get that feeling like they need to scream and run and squirm and break stuff? Like you’re trying to break free from your own body? What the hell is it?

Tell me an inside joke between you and a friend, without context.

Eat it

I'm so glad some cultures have managed to hang on to siestas despite capitalism. eating a big meal and taking a nap in the middle of a work day is a basic human right, I'm not even joking

Constantly being surrounded by people who have it worse than you so you don’t realize how bad it is until you mention something offhandedly that you thought was funny and someone looks at you and tells you that the thing you thought was good was actually bad and then you start thinking and remembering how everything wasn’t good at all and was actually very bad

I don't think it matters how small your account it. They will come for you if they feel like it. Also odd that they're not targeting very many transmascs from what I've seen.

Maybe it's not even regular transphobia. Maybe it's also misogyny.

Anyway, I hope someone at the corporate level stages a fucking coup or something because this isn't how you run a business. Tumblr already S T R U G G L E S to make money, and targeting both its previous, dwindling user base and the new stream of users who have slowly trickled in to get away from other transphobic apps will slowly but surely actually kill the site this time. Tumblr will truly die, and it will be his fault.

here’s the most frustrating part is we see who is being repeated deleted off this site and there’s no one to go to to be like what the fuck is happening? like. we won’t get any explanation and if we do it’ll be some watered down, corporate esque response that literally gives no information and will distance any moderator from the situation. i hate this. i hate how powerless i feel as a user, a mutual to the trans women being repeatedly targeted. i can’t do shit to fix this. no one can do anything besides remake and cross fingers that the blog will survive.
