it’s insane because literally everything everywhere is telling you to shave . realistically . you will get very little to no pushback for fucking shaving in the real world. but the minute you say “hey maybe shaving is bad actually” people who shave act like they are so oppressed because you told them maybe shaving is bad. like oh my god . i am so done with this

Yesterday the 12th of May was Fibromyalgia awareness day. I’m a little late uploading it, but spreading awareness is being done nonetheless. Lots of love for my chronic pain people!! <3
anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandma’s boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are “like that” because they haven’t seen their grandma’s tits
good job tumblr 👍
there it is!
my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):
american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they’re american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they’d never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life.
but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma’s tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that “beauty is fake and temporary”, but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma’s house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn’t see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think “well it wasn’t ugly on my grandma’s body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else’s body?”. it makes you much more understanding and “forgiving”, if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.
Um. So I just realized something. This is the Simon/Ice King from the early seasons.
The OOO we see in ep 8 of Fionna and Cake is the original OOO timeline from seasons 1-4. In the finale of s4- the Lich wished for the annihilation of all life in OOO. Meaning- outside of Finn and Jake who jumped into the portal leading to Prismo’s time room- all the characters in that timeline actually died. Every single living organism. It was only after Jake’s wish in s5 ep2 that the timeline the rest of the show takes place in was created. Meaning that again- all the characters from the first four seasons of Adventure Time ARE DEAD.
I’m actually going to be sick 😭😭😭 I can’t do this anymore.
Correction, the timeline was never touched. The Lich created an alternative timeline with his wish; just like how Finn did with his
This means that while yes, the original timeline is different from the post season 5 timeline, its still alive
Love how Judaism is trending but I’ve not seen a single post talking about how Israel will now be governed by a bunch of fascistic religious zealots.
Fuck Bibi! Fuck Ben Gvir! Fuck everyone who will take away me and my friends’ rights in the name of “protecting the Jewish people and homeland”!
(Edit because apparently I need to fucking say this, I AM A JEWISH ISRAELI. I AM NOT ANTISEMITIC OR ANTI ZIONIST. I just think Jewish people should talk more about what’s going on here since it’s like, our homeland and stuff)
nobody said that you fucking moron. the mass rapes story is a lie. there’s no evidence for it, it’s propaganda and sensationalist rumors. the only thing we’re saying is that + the hypocrisy of people like you ignoring israeli sexual assault against palestinians which is actually well documented, because in your mind that’s something brown savages do and something fascists states supposedly protect you from. this is not new, it’s literally the KKK rhetoric used to justify lynching. if you really cared about rape you should be anti-zionist
i’m gonna say it again since some of you don’t listen: if the statement “the loss of innocent life is bad” compels you to write more than 10 words at me, please fuck off. forever.
don’t tell me there are no “innocent” people involved on either side of the Israel-Palestine conflict. you are being downright obtuse and you’re acting just like the chuds on reddit calling for the obliteration of an entire group of people.
dead children is a bad thing no matter if they are Palestinian or Israeli. dead civilians is a bad thing no matter if they are Palestinian or Israeli. dead people who have never harmed anyone or who lack the capacity to even understand this situation is a bad thing no matter if they are Palestinian or Israeli.
the lack of humanity some of you display is appalling. you can condemn Israel and acknowledge the responsibility their government and their citizens played in this while subsequently condemning the slaughter of civilians.
your inability to think in anything but black or white is the reason that we are falling away from each other as a society faster than ever. wake the fuck up. you are so focused on “the good guys” and “the bad guys” that you have totally lost the plot.
a guy who posts memes about dead cops and advocates for showing no quarter to fascists is telling you that you’re acting like you’ve completely lost your sense of humanity. find it before it’s gone forever. it’s so hard to claw back from the darkness.
and the next person to come at me about this is getting blocked and reported for harassment. i’m done talking about it. i have been advocating for Palestinian independence longer than some of you have been alive. i don’t need your validation.
I’m trying not to be a huge dick about it but I got a “but what about us q-slurs who are traumatized by the bad words?” on my slur reclaimation post and so I’ve made a handy guide
1. You are being called the slur.
A. If it is with malice, I am sorry for this experience, however, this situation is not at all what I was talking about.
B. If it is with affection or as a joke from other LGBTs, and it makes you uncomfortable, ask them to stop. If they don’t, they’re a dick for not respecting your boundaries.
2. You are being “forced” to see other people use the word for a larger community
A. If it bothers you then you are probably not the “fag community” to which they are referring, then. In a post? Block. Blacklist words. Block tags. Walk away. Avert your eyes. You don’t vibe with “queer community” then refer to it as LGBT. You make it sound like a “someone saying Happy Holidays means I can’t say Merry Christmas anymore” situation. You don’t have to use any words you don’t vibe with. Hate to say Dyke March or Dykes on Bikes? Don’t go to the march. Avoid the bikes.
3. You are being “forced” to hear other people use the word for themselves
A. I mean this with love and respect…suck it up. If it is so deeply triggering, remove yourself. Leave the situation. Block. Blacklist words. Block tags.
In a conversation about reclaimation, I am sorry, but you only get to decide how people refer to you, no one else. If someone else’s use upsets you, YOU have to do something about it, not them. You do not, under ANY circumstances, get to ask someone not to use dyke or fag or queer or tranny for themselves. You don’t get to ask someone not to use it/its. You don’t get to tell someone to tuck or bind because it gives you second-hand dysphoria. You do not get to decide how someone else is queer.
If being around them is that debilitating, you need to take steps to insulate yourself.
On the curate your own experience website, you should know how to do just that. There are so many guides out there. And to the complaint that “now” Pride uses all these slurs which has made Pride hostile to you, I’d invite you to crack open a book, but perhaps what you find will be too upsetting
With regard to IRL events, it sucks to have such bad triggers and it can be isolating if you can’t be in spaces that use those terms, but also: there are ways of managing and healing from those triggers! Like, if you have such a bad trigger with those terms, there’s a good chance you have PTSD. PTSD is treatable, not just through therapy but through things like peer support too! You deserve better and if support is accessible to you, you deserve to have support!
“But I have trauma” is often used as such a hard stop in these conversations that it absolutely drives me up a wall.
Baby, ain’t nobody in this community that doesn’t have a buttload of trauma. And I’m talking like a wine butt’s worth of trauma. All of us have it.
If we just rolled over and said ‘oh no I have The Trauma’ to everything we encounter, we might as well just roll on up and fucking die, because we are the Traumatized Community. We have been told – all of us – how much we are terrible fucking people for being who we are. All of us.
Like, me, I fucking hate being confronted with doctors when I didn’t expect them. When the medical students in their white coats showed up to march in solidarity with the Trans March in Philly like 5 years ago, I did my breathing exercises and moved to a spot in the march where I didn’t have to see them all the time. I didn’t demand they all take off their white coats or leave the march. And they were just there to support us.
There is a point where refusing to claim responsibility for your trauma and how it is making you treat other people is just fucking wallowing, and I see way, way too much of that in these discussions. If your trauma is really that bad that you can’t handle seeing someone’s identity word written down, baby, you need to seek and find help. You deserve that support. You truly do. But other people in your community aren’t responsible for your trauma, and the reasonable accommodation for this is not “you never have to see anything that upsets you when you attend a RL event.” It’s “you move somewhere else in the march,” it’s “you filter your posts so you don’t have to see it.” And it is definitely “you respect that other people have the right to call themselves whatever the butts they want to.”
👆Heck yeah to this whole post! If you don’t like those words then don’t use them!
We all have different views on the words fag, faggot, dyke & other slurs for people in the LGBTQIA-community, we should respect peoples right to decide for themself if they mind or don’t mind being called that, especially if it’s not meant as a insult. If for example a friend who I usually have sassy convos with where we lovingly call eachother slurs from time to time told me that they didn’t want me to use certain slurs when we have those convos then I would respect that. It’s called communication, if you don’t like a word being used in convos you have, talk to the other people in the convo & nicely/politly ask them to not use those words when talking to YOU, if they don’t stop then call them out on it & stop having convos with them. What you can’t do is forbidding them to ever use those words again in anything they do, the only one you can forbidd the useage of those words is yourself.

OK this week I am doing a roundup of the Freds which got lost in the shuffle.
Can y'all STOP with the AI mental health apps??? This is too serious for this nonsense! You can’t trust people’s mental well-being to experimental systems that can’t even consistently produce basic factual information! AND especially when you’re target audience is so systematically exploited! Fuck you. Just fuck this nonsense.
since the tumblr veterans have been kind enough to introduce us newbies to their site and culture, i think it is only fair that we explain the culture of our glorious former home to any tumblr users who might be interested in the #196 tag. keep in mind, all these things are based on my perspective of the situation.
first of all, some general information (that you might’ve already heard):
196 (r/196 on reddit) was a subreddit with only one (official) rule; “post before you leave.” it was mainly a meme/shitposting sub, but it cultivated a large queer and left-leaning community. in protest of the recent api chances in reddit, 196 has shut down indefinitely until reddit reverts these changes.
now for some culture/references that you might come across

wish i could cryptic vague post about my autism symptoms here but i know you fuckers reblog anything
me: today my skeleton wanted to burst out of my skin, my muscles burning from the weight of the atmosphere. in that moment i wanted nothing more than release, but my mouth couldn’t open to scream and my eyes couldn’t even open to see. i was trapped in my own body just growing more feverish by the second until i wanted to be free by any means necessary
“Oh, so that’s why you are they way you are. You’re two fire signs ruled over by water!”
Pretty sure it’s just the ADHD.
A fun thing to do whenever someone asks you your sign is to lie about your birthday. It still means listening to them attempt to explain your entire personality badly for a few minutes, but then you can undercut them as soon as it gets too annoying.
So, for a while I was doing mailroom/account followup work for a nonprofit, and on my firt day there, one of the ladies, “Debbie” asked me when my Birthday was. Assuming she was planning office Birthday parties, I told her.
The next day she came in with my ENTIRE star chart with personality tropes, life advice, predicitons for my future and so on. Now, I don’t go in for Astrology but I can tell when someone is making a well-meaning gesture and I can say “Thank you” and shut up.
Especially because I told her the Wrong Birthday.
See, my birthday is in the middle of a cluster of a whole bunch of family birthdays and growing up I used to have to share my Birthday with my older cousins and while that’s not really a big deal (even fun if you’re older) it kinda sucks when you’re five and none of your cousins share your interests.
So mom made a deal with me: We’d celebrate my “Un-Birthday” in January, when nobody else in the family has a birthday or anything else, and the “real” birthday would be my Cousin’s. I got my own birthday and they got a second party and it was fun.
As I got older, I just started using my Un-Birthday for everything except paperwork, becuase January is boring and bereft of holidays except the one that’s really part of Xmas these days. On paperwork, I put my real one, but I’ve been celebrating my birthday in the wrong month for over 25 years now, and didn’t think about it when she asked, and told her my Un-Birthday.
And for a few weeks everything was fine.
But Debbie had a RIVAL.
Another woman in the office “Sharon” was also big into Astrology and was convinced Debbie was Doing It Wrong, so when she was going over payroll, she saw my Legal Birthday, realized Debbie had filled out the chart wrong, and then proceded to drag Debbie on the company facebook group, and a bunch of astrology groups they were both in.
I found out when I came in three days later from a long weekend and Debbie burst into tears and sobbed “HOW COULD YOU LIE TO MEEEEEE???”
After an extremely garbled recounting by our coworkers, a talk with my manager about “Hey yeah I don’t think it’s Legal for Sharon to take my name and date of birth from Payroll and put it all over facebook?”, the manager had a talk about “I know you are all over 50 but this is NOT WHAT THE COMPANY FACEBOOK IS FOR”, Sharon was ‘removed from the premesis’ and I finally got to sit down with Debbie.
I explained the slip-up and how I sort of have two birthdays and think of the January Birthday is my “Real” one.
Debie looked up from where she’d been sobbing into her tissue all morning, realization dawning on her less like the illumination of the sun and more like a baby sea turtle headed in the wrong direction because of light Pollution.
“Oh!” She said “You’re TRANS-ZODIAC! You might have been born as an Aries, but you’re really a Capricorn!”
As someone who’s been hit by a minivan and gotten a minor skull fracture from it, I’m pretty sure hearing that sentence gave me more brain damage.
“Sure Debbie.”
You know, I had no idea where this ride was going to take us, but of all the outcomes I expected, that was not it.
What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck.
Debbie was a kind woman with room in her heart for all the people of the world and the critical thinking skills of a Sea Cucumber.
if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in the midwest, this is it.
You missed some of the best ones
the best part about it is that the art installation isn’t actually called the Bean. It’s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.
But i mean, look at it. It’s a bean.
How could you forget this one though
I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.
someone help me why is anish kapoor important what did he do?
Alright sit down for some Art World Drama bcause this is what I live for.
So, sometime last year (?) science invented Vantablack, which is the darkest possible shade of black. Art world got incredibly excited. But as it needs to be very carefully made in a lab, it’s hard to get a hold of, and is extremely expensive. Enter Anish Kapoor, aka FuckFace McGee. Anish Kapoor buys the rights to Vantablack. He is the only human being on the planet that can legally use it, and he’s kind of a prick about it.
Art world is not thrilled with that.
Enter Stuart Semple.
Stuart Semple is an artist, and also makes pigments to sell in his free time. Stuart Semple is astoundingly pissed about this Vantablack nonsense, and Anish Kapoor’s dickery. Stuart Semple makes a new pigment, the brightest shade of pink ever, called Pinkest Pink, and puts it for sale on the internet. To be bought by everybody except Anish Kapoor. Literally, to purchase, you need to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, do not associate with him, and will not sell or give the pigment to Anish Kapoor or his associates. Art world has a good laugh, everyone buys Pinkest Pink because it’s awesome, and damn it we deserve something.
Anish Kapoor however is a penis, and will not take this lying down, because HOW DARE he not have literally everything.
Anish Kapoor gets his London associates to buy him a thing of Pinkest Pink, and being such a classy human being, posts a picture to instagram of him with his middle finger covered in Pinkest Pink, captioned with “Up yours. #pink”
Everyone flips shit, because. Y’know. Fuck that guy. Especially Stuart Semple. For context here, Anish Kapoor is one of the richest artists on the planet, and has repeatedly been referred to as everything wrong with the art world, and the epitome of the art worlds elitism problem. He’s a giant douchebag. Meanwhile Stuart Semple makes pigments just to get them out there. He turns 0 profit from his now enourmously popular pigments.
Stuart Semple launches an investigation as to who the fuck leaked Pinkest Pink, and plans to strike back. He does so by releasing two new products. First is Diamond Dust, which is a glitter made from glass, so that a painting is still visible after it’s applied, but glitters like a mofo. It’s the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isn’t Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, it’s going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Semple’s way of saying “shove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happens”. Except without saying that, because he can get an insult across while still being fucking classy.
He also releases Black 2.0, created with the help of over a thousand artists worldwide.
Black 2.0 is the answer to Vantablack. Black 2.0 is a slightly less black black, but looks functionally the same to the human eye. It’s completely safe, smells like cherries, and costs four pounds. Vantablack is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, can’t be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if you’re not extremely careful, and costs thousands of dollars. Anish Kapoor is the only human being who can use Vantablack. He is the only human being who cannot use Black 2.0.
So I think we can guess who got the better deal.
And thus the feud ends, Kapoor defeated.
…But not quite.
Kapoor, in this entire afair, has made exactly two comments to the public. The first being his charming message about aquiring Pinkest Pink, the second being claiming to Buzzfeed that he and his small army of lawyers will be suing Semple, an extremely poor artist who cannot afford a lawyer.
No lawsuit has been made yet, fyi.
The point is, Kapoor is a prick, and doesn’t like talking to the lower classes. So one day in July 2017, he decides he needs another floor on his London studio apartment, and starts making arrangements to have it built. His neighbors are fucking pissed, because this will ruin the light of their apartments. They call to Semple to save them, or at the very least piss Kapoor off some more.
Semple answers to the call, and releases two new paints, Phaze and Shift, as always, banned to Kapoor. They change colours, Phaze with temperature, and Shift is just iridescent. Shift needs to be painted over Black 2.0 to work, and Phaze just works on its own.
So that’s been the art world for the last two years.
Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.
Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoor’s birthday.
Reblogging for “By attending this event you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, you are not attending on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this event will not be attended by Anish Kapoor.”
ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!
I know this isn’t my art blog but this entire post gives me life
im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands
Y’all missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptly ‘Lit’. This is from their product page:
Two things:
1. “Anish Kapoor is however a penis” is the best line in this post.
2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple
I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.
Go support him the paint’s are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor
He is my fucking role model for pettiness oh my god
It got better! I’m also excited because he just released biodegradable glitter in non plastic containers! How amazing is that?! Stuart Semple, good guy for the planet and artists, fighter against the rich elite artist like asshole Kapoor.
hate how so much of adult friendship relies on updates, experiencing your life through pictures and tidbits. we had it good with childhood friends, could spend years and years basking in the same circumstance. now i just float through clouds of strangers, hungry for something solid and warm. yes i carry your heart within mine, yes i see the world through your eyes. but in that very moment i still feel alone, still know it’s poor substitute for same room, twin smiles.
