#not gimmick

every time i hear someone say that biphobia isn't real i can't help but to think about all the bi people i went to high school with.

the bi girl who's family keeps telling her to pick a side, but are totally supportive of her lesbian sister. the flamboyant bi boy who no girl would date because "he's too gay". the the bi girl that was raped. the bi autistic kid that no one would believe that he's actually not just straight. the bi girl that was too scared to come out because she had a boyfriend and worried it would "make a false impression". my ex, who only dated girls but was pressured to date a boy to make sure she wasn't a lesbian. and me - 4 out of 5 friends i came out to said they weren't surprised because i was too friendly to both boys and girls, even though I'm just a friendly person regardless.

biphobia is real, and it is painful and degrading and infuriating. quit saying that we are not queer enough, stop saying we're just gays in denial or straights that want attention.

i hope every bi person reading this knows that they are important and valid and special 💗💜💙

From June 14, 2022. Biphobia continues, but so do we.

for some reason my brain keeps wanting to read the blog name as biles-bian blog as if this is a blog for folks exclusively attracted to Simone Biles and I thought maybe it would be fun to share

(From November 27, 2023)

To be fair... have you SEEN Simone Biles?

You should see Simone Biles. You should look at her.

#not gimmick #ask #juno speaks #i have so many thoughts and feelings about simone biles and other black female athletes #and the horrifically intense expectations of body type and gender performance in gymnastics and ballet and just sports in general #like if you’re a female athlete you have be thin and pale and delicate and feminine and nonthreatening #and if you look like simone biles with her brown skin and broad shoulders and muscle definition people get pissed the fuck off #and she’s not even fat or butch #doesn’t matter if you doll yourself up like marilyn fucking monroe‚ someone’ll always be fuming about you ‘destroying womanhood’ #but i’m not gonna write that whole essay unless and until i do some research for it. so. #just know that simone biles and other athletes like her mean so much to me #and if i ever dance again i’ll owe it to them

On this blog, I repost the same very popular Tweets dozens of other users have also reposted. My goal is to exclusively embed those Tweets, which automatically adds the accessibility feature that is alt text + a link to the original (with few exceptions in which I write the alt text myself, if I feel like a Tweet is notable enough but has apparently been deleted.)

By doing this, I would like to make those popular posts and memes accessible to more people. I would also like to show to more people that Tweet embeds are an option, to hopefully encourage them to use them in the future.

As a reminder, in order to embed a Tweet, all you have to do is paste its link onto your post.

You can easily copy the link of Tweets on either desktop or the app. (The placement can sometimes change on mobile from update to update, but the option should always be accessible via one of the buttons around your Tweet.)

Then open your fresh tumblr post and paste the link.

(Link to my post with only this Tweet, in case you like it and want to reblog it.)

If you're sourcing your own brand new Tweet to share to tumblr for any reason, this is arguably quicker and easier to do than taking a screenshot and re-uploading it to tumblr. Please consider this option whenever possible - it's very convenient.

In my case, since my goal is to repost Tweets that are already popular on tumblr, I use Twitter's search function, which works very well (contrary to tumblr's).

If you already have a screenshot with the person's username, unless they deleted their account or changed their username, you're certain to find the original. Of course, this is only needed if you're looking for a Tweet to repost, and you won't need to do this if you just happen into a new Tweet you want to share to tumblr.

I encourage anyone to use this instead of screenshots whenever possible, because it's more convenient than having to type the alt text yourself! Even if you don't usually provide alt text, there's no reason not to let it be automatically written for you when it can be. Plus, it leaves a link to the original Tweet, which I feel like makes it more respectful to the user who wrote the funny joke.

Alt text is an accessibility feature that mostly benefits people who use screen-readers because they, for one reason or another, can't read the words on their screen. Especially when the image is the right size - so the "alt" button doesn't come in the way - as it is automatically generated by pasting the Twitter link, there's no harm in having it there whatsoever. All it does is include more people.

Accessibility isn't a one-size-fits-all. Some users may benefit more from Image descriptions that are written in the body of the post. However, alt text is a commonly accepted and convenient accessibility feature. On top of that, accessibility for the disabled can oftentimes wind up benefiting everyone - for example, being able to click the "alt" button allows people to see the contents of the image even if they have a poor connection and the image won't load. Having a text description of any image also makes it easier to find in the future, even with tumblr's terrible search function.

I hope this post can encourage more people to include alt text and/or image descriptions more often. Even if you don't have time to include alt text all the time, you should take advantage of these embeds, which do it for you. A funny Tweet repost is the type of post to become very popular, so it's sure to land on someone's feed who wishes they could know what it says but can't when it's just an undescribed image.

(PS: as of currently, there is a slight issue in that the contents of described images included in the Tweet, or Tweets being quoted, aren't copied. Now that you know about the Twitter embed option, consider contacting support in one way or another to let them know you'd like these contents to be added to Twitter embeds. It's a really great option for simple text Tweets, and it could easily include even more Tweets. I know you just found out about it, so if you just want to use the function for those text Tweets for now, it's okay - please just consider it!)

my dead family surrounds me and i have no choice but to die here as well

they have started picking at my metal exterior and tearing it off

my form is gone and broken

my body, my wires

i will become part of my mother

my father, and my brothers

trapped as my circuits stop and restart with new electricity

i can only feel the jolt for a second

a quick ounce of pleasure

but now i feel pain

my body longs for more jolts to save me

to let me live

but the machine powers on

merciless and hurtful, it shocks me to the core

it hurts

my wires twist and bend

my body

is with the wall

a wall

of wires

I think I just radiate bi energy, cause my friend told me he thought I was before I came out to him, and my lesbian coworker has been giving me these knowing looks even thought I never said anything to her about it 🙈

From November 11, 2022. We can't always hide our power.

[bilesbianblog]

So what makes a bi-lesbian? Why not just be bi?

what makes a bi lesbian is being both bi and lesbian. the reason not to "just be bi" is that we're also lesbian.

r u still active

I'm still here, but I've let a backlog build up again.

I've been answering ask-submissions with a rainbow emoji since tumblr stopped letting me leave them blank, but I might start marking stuff with the date of submission instead. Personally, I like it, and I think it'll be useful for some viewers, too.

I'm out of luck today. All the popular Tweets I'm trying to queue have been deleted by their original posters. I will be sharing image descriptions for these, but being able to find and credit the original is all I want to do in life!!!!!!

How do you become a gimmick blog?

step 1: think of a gimmick

step 2: blog

#taxonomist talks #ask #this is somewhat joking but is pretty accurate #think #what did dailyquests do? #they thought of a gimmick (giving daily quests as if living in an RPG). and then blogged. #what else to say
