#((keeps falling of platforms))

[bonefall]

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.

It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.

#No patience. Wither and rot. #These motherfuckers dogpiled the legend who leaked the no fly list because it identified as the wrong type of lesbian. #They will attack the people doing DIRECT ACTION over dumbfuck label discourse. Deeply unserious people. #Embarrassing to think that there are rubes out there who keep falling for this #For ALL our sakes I hope this is literally their first rodeos and they really haven't fallen for this bullshit twice. #But unfortunately I'm too old to be that hopeful. #I didn't get to see the big ''public block list'' made for us dirty queers who support or are bi/mspec lesbians but I hope I was on it #If a man is best judged by his enemies then exclusionists who echo terf rhetoric are the ones I WANT to have. #And ''public lesbian block list'' is in quotes because if you REALLY thought that such a thing wasn't a ''GO HARASS THESE PEOPLE'' charter- #--then you have a black mold where your brain used to be and it's rapidly eating into the bathroom tile you call a skull #Unironically you should not have a platform if you are THAT stupid or malicious to think it was anything BUT a harassment charter #I hope they're ashamed. #Context for those unaware: a flesh-eating amoeba created a public blocklist for people who supported bi lesbians #Minors and extremely small creators without big platforms were on that list #People got harassed but the most namely was Lockandkeyhyena who had people raiding his server with racial slurs and death threats. #I hope everyone involved sees who their ''allies'' are when they spread that sentiment. #A bunch of people ACTUALLY 'invading someone's space' to post the n-word and suicidebait. #THAT is who you appeal to. Sit with that.

im not sure how to feel about nate's semi-retirement video tbh.....I mean on one half good for him. he sold his catalog and is no longer pressured to keep up with algorithms and deal with the internet. he can focus on what he wants to do elsewhere and he'll come back after a certain period of time. on the other hand I feel like everything I love just keeps on disappearing so there's that

#I'll still enjoy the music we got #I just feel like things keep on falling apart though #I'm glad he's happy and honestly could be worse #he could be saying sayonara you weeaboo shits #and never upload or do anything with his platform ever again #he's been doing pokemon card streams which I need to watch #but yeah #natewantstobattle #nwtb #nathan sharp

Unlocked a very accurate achievement in GRIS 😭

#this game has all my soul 💙 #game: gris #gris #also cried at the cutscene (after almost getting an heartattack at the eel jumping on you) #but geez the literal struggle to try escape your own darkness and depression embodied vs the turtle of light carrying you... yeah i cried #i mean i do cry every 5 min lately but still that was A Moment(tm) #im taking 4ever to finish that game tho #((keeps falling of platforms)) #i absolutely loved the blue level though #very Ulmo vibes

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users

The users giveth, the users taketh away

#this isn’t about the sidebar btw I’ve already said I don’t mind the sidebar #I think it could be a better sidebar like the 2014 tumblr layout which was great #but it’s Fine (tm) #this is about live and the new post editor and the apparent avatar removal bs ‘experiment’ #and it’s also about how these big overhauls keep being done meanwhile we can’t have like. a search function that works #or the queue reordering tools that already exist on mobile web applied to any other platform #you know. all the little stuff that’s comparatively easy to implement yet they ‘don’t have time’ for because they’re too busy #with these massive overhauls and ignoring all the asks that go to wip #also I don’t expect anyone to actually do this and I’m sure as hell not organizing anything cause that’s a lot of work lmao #but I think giving them money pre-emptivelt just showed they can do whatever they want and we’ll fall for it #taking away money would be more effective #idk I don’t think current staff are any better at running tumblr than yahoo was #they’re just better at the ‘we’re quirky and relatable just like you guys uwu’ bit #and a lot of us fell for it but I think the illusion is starting to lift #anyway idk it sucks here but all the other sites are either worse or empty so what can we do #(genuinely wtf can we do this nonsense is getting bad) #text #misc #shut up nerd #new layout stuff

oh my god ! haha . anyway a bit buzzed perhaps. anyway here's what happened on the date

#at some point i took the earrings off. the metal clanging was screaming their name too loud and it #was 6 knives to the throat and he confirmed it so. here's the kicker. you can be taught a lot and you can have their hands on your thighs #and you can kiss them but even if they pray even if they tell you about the bible looking into you like really they lost what they believed #in a pennsylvania countryside catholic schools with a protestant family since joining the london school of economics #even if they pray for you to stay the whole way even though their hair was softer than hers you think of her and he thinks of someone else #and be tells you none of it will make sense. they smile and they say what a shame you might miss the train but they hold onto you #the entirety of you - like a religion or a polite insistence or something to keep. #you learned they were used to losing everyone they felt bound to love. they said they got really good at letting go. you were told #you think he's being epistemologically #irresponsible and he tells you he carries a massive task. he tells you the responsibility is monumental #and he feels responsible for defining responsibility. he shows you songs and his poetry. my eyes feel on fire. #she doesnt know this. this is marylebone. the next station is edgeware road. everyone here looks happy and high and clear of the doors. #he says tell me when you get to the station and very especially tell me if you don't. the next station is paddington. please mind the gap #between the train and the platform. you say this to him. he says i minds the gap between you and i. i mind it so much that i need you to #come back. he says this because you kissed him briefly but you kissed him well. she says you're a good kisser but he says you have him #stunned. he asks you who decides the truth. he tells you you decide the truth without his mouth. you're fast enough to make it there before #the wheels do. this world is lit by glass and light and people with a pact to fall in love with the abstractions more than each other. #he tells you to be committed to your various intangible loves more than anyone. you both have to be. they love each other anyway. #i was supposed to find a persian poetry book with her on our fourth date except she was hours late. i found it with him. he didnt give up #he should be perfect and i should really like him.

Yknow, James odd1sout posting that video about him doing ballet before made a bit less self-conscious of my own ballet past lmao

#neil talky #batting my eyes #My most vivid ballet memory was #me and my classmates going to the back of thr studio #and watching this pile of millipedes crawl around in one of the studio’s corners lol #We dared each other to perform #pirouettes into arabesques beside them on an elevated platform #The challenge was to keep your balance and not fall into the milipede pile lol

augh p-ranking 2-1 is a real challenge for me haha

#I had a few runs that went well but I wasn't getting all the kills #platforming is hard! can't use my usual strategy of sliding everywhere #also I keep just. falling off. so easy to do. wheeeee #if this keeps being a hassle I'll just move on to 2-2 and come back later #inverse problem.txt

Need a windrunner who's scared of heights and is bitter that on this planet a drive to protect is apparently magically linked to flying instead of like, getting to summon shields or blast lightning because yeah they'll keep their oaths! but can they just do that from the ground, thanks, please?

#i mean i think they'd come up with some new creative uses of gravitation that keeps their feet on the ground #and probably master adhesion faster #but mostly i want rep for me: someone who knows she won't die ziplining and may even enjoy it #but is frozen in fear for a good twenty minutes before letting anyone convince her to step a little closer to the edge of the platform #Windrunner: my oaths to protect should give me the power to teleport others to safety. why does it just make me fall upwards instead. #what's protective about that?? #Spren: you know i think you need to trust me and our bond to protect you from getting hurt while practicing this surge. #Windrunner: >:( ok but I'm going to do it scared. #actually hold on i know i said 'summon shield' in the post and well actually. Kaladin kinda does do that with [YOU KNOW WHAT] but like #that was a separate thing. arguably any order might have managed it #I'm talking like. a big red energy shield or whatever #doesn't matter! #point is! #there probably is actually already a windrunner who's scared of heights #but i don't remember them #just my darling beloved Sigzil and wanting to be the first in the sky

outfit for waking up an hour late and then going to work and going home and then picking up ur bf and then putting $32 of gas in your car and then doing homework and then u and ur bf get picked up by ur friend (who you dated in hs) and his gf and when u drop your bf off at his house and he goes inside, you turn around, slip on something on the ground, and immediately fall on the concrete driveway and scrape ur elbow up so when u and ur friends go to steak n shake they buy you a milkshake and then you go to the bathroom to clean the blood off ur elbow and then you find out ur boyfriend's mom's ring doorbell didn't even SEE you FALL on the CONCRETE and you are upset because it was probably kinda funny and NOBODY EVEN SAW.

I see back and forth takes like this, and it drives me up a wall. Misattributing the problems TikTok poses to art and creative industries to kids is missing the point. Voicing your disagreement by stating "the kids are alright" is an overcorrection that paints over a different problem.

The kids aren't alright. And young people have been shouting this continuously since the youngest Millennials were in high school. Those problems aren't because of the very normal, very healthy experiences of growing up.

Exploring art, trying new things, and forming opinions on things you care about is good! That includes petty fights with peers, and hot takes you regret down the line!! That's all part of how you figure out who you are. What has been changing are the environments these processes are allowed to happen in now.

Like, let's just put it simply. There's a lack of truly No Grown-Ups Allowed spaces now. Both in fewer physical spaces, and in websites catered to minors. More and more physical areas are actively hostile to everybody, but especially the young. Where can you go when laws prohibit loitering under a certain age? If you live in an active combat zone?

So kids have been forced online, and digital spaces aren't much better. People call TikTok the teenager app, but the biggest content creators are in their 20s and 30s. The Club Penguins, Habbo Hotels, and similar websites have either shut down, require purchase, or have similarly catered more to an audience with readily disposable income (/took the Roblox avenue and turned their audience into free labor). All the options that are readily available mean sacrificing your digital privacy – all for services that treats users as both product and captive audience.

And like, just listening to kids? Hearing them out about how existence is going? The despair is heartbreaking. Clinically significant depression and anxiety is just... normal for them. Not because it's been normalized and embraced, but because it's so common among them and their peers.

And this is something we see with adults, too! Like, even the adults that didn't grow up with smart devices and social media are still being isolated by similar businesses. Media giants are built on manufacturing outrage, tech companies succeeding by encouraging doomscrolling, posts boosted by inflammatory arguments. For people that haven't had this normalized their entire lives! Can you fucking imagine your entire online life being defined by that shit? How that has been tangibly changing art and media for everybody???

Like. I hope the kids will be alright. I really do. I hope they have fun with their media, learn a lot in their arguments, find communities they click with. I want all of my friends' kids and younger relatives to be able to fuck around in the harmless ways I have in fandom spaces or whatever over the years.

I'm worried that they're not okay now, though. And I worry about how tech giants ruling over our media diets can shape both us and culture. Being a kid or teenager now seems fucking miserable. Like, three websites are defining all the terms of play! Young creators are getting burned out so young because the algorithm punished them for not conforming to trending topics!!

Ultimately, these two concerns aren't divorced. But it's not a problem where young people are at fault. They're another victim in on-going harm.

#i've had this thought brewing for like 3 weeks. it has now hatched into fully formed words that i could not keep bottled up lol #tldr: stop! conflating 'kids' with 'social media platforms'!! #bc tiktok and youtube and facebook and twitter all DO have an ulterior motive to cheapening art #the constant grind of content creators is what MAKES these platforms and strong feelings keep people engaged #it is not teenagers responsible for ~falling for it~ or whatever. they've been fucking SET UP for this. #and i think adults should be more angry on behalf of kids that they don't have space to engage in art and interests in peace #art #children #social media #open mic night #media #web 3.0

[overworked-bookworm]

.

let me drop some drama on y’all — in the last year + 7 days, I:

reconnected with multiple friends from high school at a wedding I legally officiated for two old friends

realized in hindsight that I had liked one of our classmates when we were in school, who had attended the wedding and was now recently divorced

started talking to him very often and, by proxy, the husband I officiated the wedding for

started an on-off flirtation with the divorced friend — [clarification: HE started it, but I was very receptive when I realized what he was doing, it just took me a while]

became the “dump my mental health problems��� friend for the husband^ who I’ve said is like a baby brother to me for *checks calendar* 12+ years

was accused by my friend’s wife AND the friend that I was flirting with that I was having an affair with the husband or at least harboring romantic feelings for him

she also accused me of behaving like her abusive mother, when I told her she was out of line for even thinking I would have an affair with (1) her husband (2) who I kept saying was like a baby brother to me

held an intervention for the husband about his ragingly out of control anxiety, where he proceeded to, like, beat the windows of the car and yell and be violent [not at me but around me and I was very triggered and scared] — after which he said he couldn’t trust me anymore because I was projecting my anxiety onto him, and he was fine

fell into an episode of psychosis because I was surrounded by people who didn’t trust me for reasons they’d all made up in their heads, and were all mad at me for ❤️

[while in psychosis] dealt with the guy I was flirting with talking about wanting to sleep with his coworker, and being very on/off + hot/cold with me — which I wrote off as post-divorce emotional problems I just needed to be patient through lmao

[while in psychosis] dealt with the husband’s mental breakdown about never wanting to get married in the first place, dragging my family and the family of the guy I was flirting with into the mess — we got the husband pink slipped and I stopped talking to him and his wife

was told by the friend that had been flirting with me that he’d been leading me on, as he proceeded to ditch me for another friend that I helped him reconnect with — but promised me that we were besties and nothing would change!! (how kind. also? he broke that promise immediately and called me difficult)

dealt with his new girlfriend lying to me about them not being together, because no!! hoes before bros, Alex, I would never date someone who hurt my friend!! but also you need to be personally accountable for feeling hurt!!

there’s more in the way they’ve both treated me since he decided he was done with me, but my therapist and I are still parsing through it

turns out I probably don’t need to be taking Ativan twice a day and sleeping after work + all night bc of the high dosage, I just needed to start cutting out bad friends! my anxiety has never been more managed now that I’ve decided to listen to every other friend that’s told me these ones were all no good for me! I do need the anti-psychotics, though. I heard voices for 2 months and it was NOT a good time.

I didn’t have this much drama in my life ten years ago when we were actual children — the next time I start posting about liking a man, someone remind me that it brings me absolute misery. None of this would have happened if I hadn’t wanted to hop on his dick 🙄🙄🙄

#personal #tumblr is my petty platform and also my journal #but I’m serious about someone needing to remind me that men in a romantic context brings me nothing but trouble #the first time I’d been psychotic was a man’s fault too — I will NOT be happy if I have another episode #you might be wondering what the husband was doing about the affair accusations. the answer? needling me about my relationship to the other #we sat in the ER and I went from him saying sooooooooo you and [name]? #to then being kicked out of the room and the aide being like wow I bet you’re really glad this guy’s marriage is falling apart #also he was having an emotional affair with someone younger in his classes <3 so his wife SHOULDVE been worried #but not because of me who was CLEARLY trying to hop on this stupid emotionally unavailable dick and NOT her husbands #but now he has a girlfriend and doesn’t respond to my messages so what a giant waste of time lmao I didn’t even get to keep a friend in thi #there’s a lot of relief that we never slept together though. I don’t… think he wanted to but I sure did #if we had it would have hurt so much more when he dropped me #silver linings I guess #anyway the actual takeaway here is if you didn’t sustain interaction with them after graduation DONT reconnect #those doors closed for a reason #let them stay shut

[ruinouslore]

Digging through my hoard of screen shots and clips and found this pretty thing (quality is crap, blame xbox)

yee my archangel stynax lol

cheap fashion frame is the best, got all in game

ok yeah good bye, just wanted to post something Warframe-ish

#Warframe #warframe fashion #fashionframe #i love-hate the Ropalolyst boss fight #It’s pain but oddly statisfying #but mostly pain #especially if I stop paying attention to what I’m doing and/or bird boss decides to bug out and keep falling off the ding dang platform #PLS IGNORE THE HELIMITH CYST IT DOESNT EXIST

Reblogs

So, I think that everyone on tumblr should just take a week to reblog all of the things that they liked. Because it seems that a majority of tumblr users don't know how to fucking reblog something. Reblogging things helps get shit out there, whether it be a post that could save lives, some great art, or a random shitpost. I know that the last week in every month from now on, I'm going to dedicate that to mainly reblogs, I'm starting this for me next month.

Right, just to make this clear:

Reblogs are better than likes

I get not reblogging everything you come across the minute you come across it, but reblogging really gets shit out there. But I know with especially my artwork and my story telling, I would prefer it if people reblogged those instead of just liking them

If the blog you are using isn't one you want to reblog stuff on, that's fine. Just make another blog somewhat or mainly dedicated to reblogging.

Reblogging shit helps out artists, writers, and literally everyone else.

If someone doesn't want you to reblog something of theirs they can turn off reblogs, so don't worry about that.

This is not like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, etc. Likes do almost nothing. Likes are fine and dandy and I give out likes too, but to help get whatever it is out there, you need to reblog it! I end up liking stuff so I can reblog it later, and then I completely forget about it.

Reblogs are different than reposts

You might be scared to reblog something, because you thought it was the same thing as reposting something(I know I used to.) They aren't the same

Reblogs still give credit to the person who originally posted that. Reposts is taking someone's work and passing it off as your own.

When you reblog something you will see your username and there will be a little rectangle, made of two arrows pointing at each other and then the username of the person you reblogged the post from. The first message will contain the username of the person who made the original post. If this is not what you see when you've reblogged something, that means that you're doing it wrong.

Other Reblog stuff

When you reblog something, you don't have to say something else or even put tags if you don't want to. If you end up changing your mind you can reblog the post again with what you want to say and what tags you're going to use. You can also edit it if you want, but another reblog would be more helpful.

Remember, you can always go back and view your likes and reblog them whenever. I know my likes are just filled up because my brain was like 'future reblog' when I pressed that little heart.

Absolutely roasting someone is okay and even encouraged in most circumstances

To reblog something there is a botton that looks like a rectangle with two arrows pointing at eachother. You just hit that, say what you want to say and/or tag it, or not. And click reblog.

Reblog this if you too will take even just a day out of a month to reblog your likes, or if you want to get it out there that people on tumblr need to start actually fucking using tumblr!

Oh and just incase it escaped the people who came here from other social media platforms:

Tumbler is not like other social media platforms, so don't treat it like it is. Here's how it works, you post random shit and reblog random shit. DO NOT REPOST.

#reblogs #literally reblog shit #i am dedicating the last week of every month to mainly reblogging my likes starting august #the reblog button exists for a reason #to keep tumblr alive #reblog this if you're going to do something like this #reblog this if you agree with what it says #reblog this if you have extra information to add #reblog this if you like it #reblog this if you're so fucking tired of everyone treating tumblr like every other social media platform out there #and having people like your art or story or whatever #but no one is reblogging it so it falls flat on its face #just reblog this to get this out there #because reblogging is what helps everyone here #and reblogging keeps this app alive
