So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

“For The Plot,” I whisper, deleting a rad detail that no longer works as tears fall from my eyes

there's this trick that racists/queerphobes/etc do, it's really slick. let's just do a little dialogue as an example, the names have been obscured but I've seen this exact exchange happen before.

Stephanie mc. Influencer: "And furthermore, body positivity intersects with black liberation, as black women are often held to unattainable eurocentric beauty standards"

Suave Replyboy Jr: "Lmao, you leftists always tell on yourselves, did you really just say black people are ugly??"

You see the trick here? it's kind of complicated, like, Stephanie is arguing from the perspective that beauty standards are arbitrary and subject to change, Suave understands beauty as an objective hierarchy, so he dunks on Stephanie safely from the inside of that standard. To him, and likely to many people who haven't thought about their own assumptions very much, the only reason black people would want their own body positivity movement is because they're ugly. Bonus points if Stephanie is white, and you can rile her community against her with claims of racism.

I've been getting some replies like this on my posts about sexual trauma, kink, and queerness. Like... I say that sexual deviance of all forms can intersect and correlate with queer identity, and dozens of Suave Replyboy Jrs come out and dunk on me from the other side of the glass, from inside the false universe I'm trying to discredit, the one where "sexual deviance" is immoral and associating queer sexuality with deviancy is an insult. I'm not saying queer people are dangerous perverts, that's you.

shower tips my fellow disabled friends

1. compression socks

I use ankle-high compression socks the second i get out to prevent blood pooling, it works great! It helps me stand on my own and avoid painful blood pooling while i dry off.

2. Shower chair

These can come in many forms-- i use a small wooden stool that looks like this and fits in my bathtub:

Some people have small tubs, and these types, though more comfortable, may not be possible. A shower stool like this may just be your solution:

If you have a large enough shower and you need a back to stay upright, you can get one like this:

3. Wall handles

You can of course install handles, screws and all. But Amazon offers these with strong suction cups that can be installed in seconds. I havent used them myself, but they look great!

4. quick showers

You don't always need a fullbody shower to not be considered disgusting; dont be ashamed to only wash your hair, pits, face, and whatever other parts feel gross. You will be clean enough as long as water runs over your and your get the grossest matter off of you. All that is important is you feel clean.

5. mobility aids/seating

Having a cane post shower (even if you dont struggle enough to need a cane outside of showering) can be a lifesaver! Also, utilizing a chair in the bathroom can make a good place to dry off.

If you have any more tips, leave em in the replies!!!

enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar

purge of 2002? of 2012? what ARE those?

Oh, how quickly the past is forgotten. 

They are part of the reason A03 is a thing now. Not the whole reason, but part of it. 

The Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit. Thousands upon thousands of nc-17 smutfics were lost.

It’s what led to the creation of alternate hosting sites for smutty fic…AdultFanfiction was the one I went to…but thousands of fics would never be recovered.

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing
