canceled my prime membership today

This is my discomfort character I want to see them in unimaginable pain

while you studied the blade i studied the forge so i could make you the very best blade in the world! love you baby

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

I've been up since 5am this morning (it's 10:51, PM) and I genuinely thought this was you and just asked no questions for several seconds.

Ily and we should definitely discuss more about Ryan from Mourning High because damn

YES PLEASE NO ON ELSE WILL HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE

I don’t even remember where I got this picture but please 😩

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Trans women are women.

This post doesn’t fix anything. It doesn’t roll back harmful laws, it doesn’t offer you legal protection. It’s understandable if you currently feel more bitter than encouraged when you see statements like that on social media. What can a silly little slogan do against this wave of hate and danger we are currently experiencing?

And yet, I think it’s more important than ever to post those silly little slogans. Here’s some reasons why: 

Silence can look like agreement. Transphobes and fascists love to paint the picture that the „silent majority“ agrees with them, that they’re just saying out loud what everyone else is thinking. The „silly little slogans“ provide an accessible way to disprove that. They don’t fix everything but they offer an easy way to break that silence and show that transphobia actually isn’t as common or fashionable as fascists would like people to believe. 

Complying in advance is never a good idea. If you give up on posting stuff like this because it feels like the transphobes are winning anyway, well, then you’re giving them exactly what they want. You’re basically agreeing that they already won. Quiet surrender is awfully convenient to fascists. Don’t give them that power. 

Social media posts are also seen by trans people. Even if you feel like you’re not gonna change anyone’s mind: you can at least let trans people know you care. We need little rays of hope now more than ever, and social media posts definitely can be a way to make each other feel a little less alone. In fact, I think repeating a slogan can actually be ideal for that because they’re so easily recognizable. There’s comfort in that clarity. It takes off some of the mental load of trying to figure out if you’re a safe person or not. And that’s valuable in exhausting times like these. 

So no, this post doesn’t fix anything. But it doesn’t have to. It just has to be one small, firm act of resistance. A reminder that not everyone has given up. A reminder that trans people are real, loved and deserving of protection.

Trans women are women. Let’s say it again and again. Lets say it out loud. Lets say it until the hate feels small in comparison.

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad 

grr this layout doesn't read nicely on this site, oh well. Another older SF work.

Bots Bots Bots! Hate 'em or find them amusing, they're in the way, so what can we do about them?

Bots on Tumblr are a nuisance to the roughly 135 million users that call this hellsite home, typically posting sexually explicit content in hopes of luring a poor soul into their tricky clutches.

We aim to minimize the amount of time these bots posts are up in our community, so here's what you can do to help us mods out:

Reporting, Protecting, & Taking Down:

Report It! Locate the three dots in the top right corner of the post, open it, and select 'report to moderators'. This overrides all of our other notifications from the community, highlighting the reported post so we can find it quicker. Note: You can also report their profile/post to Tumblr.

Make a border post! We want to minimize how many people are exposed to this bot post, as they are typically sexual. This kind of content can be especially triggering to some, or harmful to under aged members. Guide: "Bot Below!" {10 or so spaces} "Take Care!"

Block! These bots tend to mass post across several communities, so block their user! This means that now that you've seen them once, it won't happen again while browsing your other communities. Note: They typically get banned very quickly, and new bots appear. It's a game of whack-a-mole, and it never ends, so more of them will pop up.
