“tumblr focuses too much on problems in leftism! what about the right? they’re worse!” sure okay but you are on tumblr dot com where I would guess a solid 90% of this website is left wing. talking about how the right sucks, which does happen, is preaching to the choir. calling out the left is a much more important thing to do when ur audience is the left. I can talk all day long about how the right sucks but it’s not actually reaching any right wingers is it? I’d rather focus on the community I’m a part of and can maybe help change 🤷♂️
Unfortunately, being "tumblr famous" is both completely meaningless, and impossible to verify, because everyone only ever sees stuff from their own little bubble of friends (by design)
It’s also by and large a bad thing because people will use framing you as famous as a reason to justify their dislike of you as a way to fight an abstract idea of “the establishment” that is incongruous with reality
aphobes are just jealous. like, yeah, we live our lives outside the fundamental societal norm, even beyond the queer community. we’re just that rad. you wish you could be like us. go throw a tantrum about it somewhere else.
It’s feels so insignificant to have this struggle but I’m getting my period soon and there’s no place to buy cotton/pads or the specific painkillers I get and it’s so so cold my pre cramps are already killing me. It makes me feel so helpless. [@/ Dicktator117 on X. 12/28/23.]
“Periods Don’t Stop for Conflict” I remember this headline addressing women’s health in Ukraine. Not a peep out of those same agencies about Sudanese & Palestinian women struggling in war/conflict zones.

I created a link for a gofundme happening right now to ensure Period Care reaches folks who need it in Sudan, and I will re-post this here for folks who can share and/or support:
This link here will lead you to this post of where you can support/send funds so that period care reaches those who need it in [Palestine] and other areas as well.

richard -> dick so obviously we should start the charles -> cock process
how the fuck do you get cock from charles
you ask him nicely
The Richard-dick naming situation actually comes from a fad that existed back in I think it was the 17th or 18th century, can’t remember which. But the naming fad/convention of the time was for rhyming secondary nicknames for names that already had a 4 letter nickname. Ie: William-will-bill, Richard-rick-dick
Everyone: It is going to be on us NOT to hand out money to studios who do this. This is WRONG and WE have to send a message with our wallets.
HE LITERALLY SAID TO NOT USE HIS VOICE IN PROJECTS ON HIS WILL
Robin Williams had a huge fallout with Disney when they used his Genie work in ways he’d specifically asked them not to, do not desecrate his memory like this
it’s shit like this - horrific, intentional, deliberate atrocities carried out by the government, which you see on a daily basis once you start paying attention to Israhell - that are the reason why we can never, ever stop fighting for Palestine
For Americans 35kg is 77lbs. He weighs 77lbs and lost 59lbs. A lot of people’s bodies would not survive this.
The next time someone complains about israel being compared to Nazi Germany show them these pictures. The world has to be free of this monstrous regime. This cannot be normalized. This cannot be excused. Palestine must be free.

“I was there and I know how hard it is in captivity,“ said Menir. "Every day in captivity was very difficult. I was in a home when there was shelling all around. We were sitting in the tunnels and we were terribly afraid that not Hamas but Israel would kill us, and then they would say, ‘Hamas killed you.’ So, I very much ask as soon as possible to start exchanging the prisoners and everyone should return home. There is no priority [of some over others]. Everyone is important.”
Bar Goldstein told what his family members who returned from captivity in Gaza described to him: "Fortunately, I had the privilege of receiving my sister-in-law Chen [Goldstein Almog] and her children. They were under constant threat from the IDF [Israeli army] shelling.”
… Another captive who was released with her children also expressed anger at the army’s shelling of the location where she was held in Gaza, and that Israeli Apache helicopters had opened fire at them as they were being taken from their home across the border into Gaza.
She said: "The feeling we had there was that no one was doing anything for us. The fact is that I was in a hiding place that was shelled and we had to be smuggled out while we were wounded. Not to mention the helicopter that shot at us on the way to Gaza. You claim that there is intelligence, but the fact is that we were being shelled.”
i feel like no one really wants to hear that sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration are major factors in treating mental health issues bc we’ve all talked to that person who thinks your depression would be cured by one good session of goat yoga or whatever but unfortunately they do help and i’m chronically annoyed about it
If you didn’t hear, Substack is now officially a Nazi site. Officially as in “the CEO has said they wouldn’t ban Nazis, and that they are welcome to monetize their content on Substack”. I think this is the first time a major web platform has openly say they are ok with making money out of open Nazis and white nationalists.
Substack CEO reasoning is “we don’t like nazis, but we defend their right to be nazis”. But, of course, at the same time, substack bans sex workers from using their platform.
So yeah, if you have a Substack account, maybe it’s time to move somewhere else. As they say, if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.
Always hilarious to watch people on posts about the “yellow filter in the Middle East/Mexico in films” thing say smth like “well you don’t know maybe it’s just an artistic intention you’re not a color grader”
Hi. I’m a color grader. It’s not an artistic intention it’s just racist. You’re welcome.
One of the best things about Tumblr, imo, is sometimes you can scroll through the awful content… But you don’t then get it recommended to you.
On tiktok, you see some godawful opinion and you want a further look at what exact kind of crazy they are? Are they being ironic? Is this satire? Oh, no, they actually do think that… Ex. Women should belong to their husbands. Welp, you’re now gonna have tradwife / terf / alt-right / trumpie content on your fyp for weeks because you scrolled that account for a few minutes. You keep pressing ‘not interested’ but tiktok believes you’re a republican now.
Here, you see something crazy - let’s say, uh, Human Pet Guy (rip, example would be before he deactivated obviously).
You see a post of his and you’re like “Woah, wtf, is this satire or is he just like this?” You go to his blog to check and Tumblr does not assume looking at human pet guy’s blog = you want a human pet and does not start bombarding you with human pet content. When you are done trying to understand how someone can think like that you can return to the safety of your dash, which remains unchanged.
Long live the hellsite, please don’t give us weird new algorithms
