funny how predstrogen got full-nuked right as a lot of discussions about transmisogyny started getting widespread. trans women start talking about our hurt and it gets us removed from our spaces. goddamn incredible.
fuck me dude I try not to step DIRECTLY into like, active high-intensity convos on tumblr but this is getting egregious. Fuck this website, fuck staff, fuck Tumblr. Fuck alphabett or whatever the fuck piece of shit company owns this garbage fire website. Tumblr hates trans women. It doesn’t even pretend not to, it just lies to your face while it beats us down.
Predstrogen was following the rules. And even if she wasn’t, there’s a thousand thousand porn bots breaking them worse. My girlfriend literally just showed me a bot post with tits out tagged “finn the human” with no community label. But the trans sex worker has to go. Sure. Queerest website on the internet my crusty asshole.
the fact that they erased her fucking TRANSITION TIMELINE as explicit. She’s fully fucking clothed, posed shoulders-up, entirely non-provocative in those pictures. There’s no way to construe those images as explicit, erotic, or in any way sexual without making the transphobic assertion that the transition ITSELF is the sexual component.
Her crime was being joyful and a trans woman. And they erased her for it. There’s no defense for this. It’s just plain, naked, blatant, PROUD transphobia.
This really makes the Studios costing themselves even more money (and getting more unions involved) by prolonging the strike for the promise of free ai labor even more fucking funny. you dumb fucking bastards lol
I personally said the same thing when AI art was first really taking off. Oh and you can thank PETA for this.
For those that don’t know, there’s a semi-famous story of a wildlife photographer who had her camera stolen by some monkeys she was taking pictures of. When she got her camera back, she discovered one of the monkeys had taken a selfie, and she published the image in a journal as a “look what happened” kind of story. PETA, being the insufferable waste they are, took it upon themselves to sue the photographer, claiming that because the Monkey took the picture, the monkey owns the copyright and thus the photographer was not allowed to publish it. The courts ruled this whole thing stupid and that now art can only be considered protected by copywrite if it was made by a human. So, this “only made by humans” ruling could easily apply to AI as well, meaning Hollywood is gonna screw themselves over if they try to replace their writers with bots.
Me: I don’t want to thank PETA for anything. Me: …actually, that’s funny, they can have this one.
The way I did the fire in the lantern is I scaled it up and did the hotkey for undo and redo over and over again to scale it up and down I did like all this shit growing up… lol it’s kinda fucking epic to be having this much fun again at ms paint also all the furry creatures I am drawing they are faggots
Let’s all think really hard about Matt dying. If this dipshit is that scared of people thinking mean things about him, maybe the combined psychic energy of the Tumblr userbase will give him a heart attack or something.
Make sure to screenshot this as “evidence” if you decide to delete me for “making threats against a staff member” Matt. I’m sure it will look even more ridiculous than the “evidence” you provided against Rita
So obviously we all have a million thoughts about the new episode but one that stood out a LOT to me is when Rick Prime said this:
“I miss when it was just you and me. The only two Ricks to actually invent portal travel.”
(*slight paraphrasing because I don’t have the episode in front of me rn)
We already knew that Rick Prime went around offering portal guns to various Ricks, and punishing the ones who refused to accept it. Before, i sort of assumed that there was a decent mixture of Ricks who invented portal travel themselves and Ricks who were “gifted” portal guns by other Ricks.
But now, that doesn’t seem to be the case. While I don’t think that Prime himself went around to every single Rick in the multiverse, he did seem to start the chain reaction of Ricks pulling other Ricks into the curse of inter-dimensional travel. He gives one Rick a portal gun. That Rick gives two more Ricks a portal gun. Then it spreads out exponentially from there.
Except for our Rick. C137. He never accepted a portal gun from anyone else. He built his own, all by himself, only knowing that the concept was somehow possible and having to figure out the math and science alone.
And that’s SO crazy to me. I mean, in every universe, Rick is credited as the smartest man ever usually BECAUSE of portal travel. But except for Prime and C137, all the other Ricks just….inherited it. They took the credit for what another version of themselves did, and spread it to other Ricks like a disease, but only Prime and C137 can truly say that yes, I actually invented portal travel.
Only Prime and C137 can truly call themselves the “Rickest Rick.” One says it with pride. The other says it with pain, behind the choked burn of the liquor he’s trying to drown himself in.
There’s something here about the Citadel.
It’s a community, and communities are about giving and accepting help. And every Rick in the Citadel is there because they were willing to take scifi tech from another Rick.
Pablo Hidalgo was having a semi-breakdown on his twt yesterday because of people using words based on things that only exist in our world (milestone, dumpster, etc) and tbh this was so real of him he might be one of my favorite Star Wars creators
girl in class is talking about how ishmael’s reasons for going to sea are “not relatable” bro what could be more relatable. he’s sad and he gets on a boat about it
“I don’t have the skills to get an important job, and that seems like a hassle anyway, so I take a menial job. I get fed and housed, so what do I care?”
I think it’s important to remember that executive dysfunction doesn’t just apply to doing chores (work, cleaning, etc). It also makes it difficult to engage with your hobbies.
Some people don’t seem to understand that when I say that I don’t have the motivation to do something that I have said I want to do, it has nothing to do with not being interested enough in said thing. It is just that my brain is not allowing me to do it even though I want to.
From the book Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD:
Putting a coat on the back of a chair by the door is fine, but if you prefer, use coat hooks and a large catch-all basket for dropping keys, hats, gloves.
Small bookcase end-table next to the couch to store craft projects, books, and other things being worked on for easy access.
Add a storage unit near the dining room table to transition between eating and working there.
Daily toiletry items should be stored in a basket that you can move easily
Extra toiletries and medicine cabinet items go in open shelf/basket storage so they can be seen and used easily. If items no longer fit, purge the excess. Don’t obscure the view!
If you disrobe in the bathroom, place a tall hamper in there.
Keep a set of cleaning supplies in each bathroom
Reblog and say what project you currently have spread on your dinner table in the tags
The hilarious thing about the link between societal taboos and the erotic is that they don’t even have to be sexual taboos. Like, there are people who are bent for having sex in restricted areas. They see a “Do Not Enter” sign and the monkey brain immediately goes “oh, we have got to fuck in whatever room is behind that door”.
got told at lunch “you feel like Tumblr Incarnate” and i had to tell them i’ve been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i’ve been here longer than the shoelaces post. i’ve been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i’m every tumblr. it’s all in me
Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?
99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop
DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don’t like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don’t sweat the small stuff
building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers
don’t respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don’t feed the trolls (or the bigots)
don’t hate-follow
don’t tag your hate (ex. if you’re posting about how much you hate a ship, don’t tag it as that ship, etc.)
don’t feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you’re mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing
op doesn’t know you; avoid parasocial relationships
don’t pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue
heres my advice to any followers i have who are young. Don’t delete things when you think you’ve outgrown them or they’re cringy. If you make youtube videos just private them don’t delete them. Save your files, you can bury them in multiple sub-folders if you think they’re cringe now but DON’T DELETE THEM! It doesn’t feel like it now but years in the future you will look back fondly at who you were and wish you still had those things.
what can tme people like myself do to make trans women/tma people feel safer? watching all of these trans women be targeted by staff itself, ESPECIALLY in predestrogen's case, is so sickening. what is trans solidarity if it doesnt include trans women and their happiness and safety?
speak out. tell your friends. raise a huge fucking stink about this. reblog tumblr’s ceo referring to a very not it/its trans woman as “it”, threatening to sic the fucking FBI on her, deleting her account four times, ignoring her harassment. me and my friends are only so big, this needs to be a fucking SCANDAL. if strangeaeons isnt making a video about it by april we’ve failed.
I hope its not inappropriate fot me to add to this because this is not going to help with this problem right now, so i will delete if op asks. but if not:
PLEASE TEACH YOURSELF AND YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT TRANSMISOGYNY AND OPPRESSION DYNAMICS AND INVEST EFFORT IN LEARNING TO RECOGNIZE IT WHILE IT IS HAPPENING AND SHUT IT DOWN
The thing about fantasy worldbuilding is that verisimilitude and the rule of cool are not enemies. Someone who looks at a pod of flying whales and asks “what do they eat?” is not being a spoilsport – they’re engaging with the premise. There are any number of much more serious objections to aerial megafauna than lack of any obvious role in a trophic web that could have been raised if they just wanted to shoot the idea down; a person who wants to know what the flying whales eat is all but explicitly yes-anding the idea. Sure, you might not have an answer at your fingertips, but acting like it’s unimaginative for them to have asked is a really fucking weird way to react.
I was trying to see it in the arrangement of stars and galaxies, but it’s just. A fucking. It’s a fucking. Question mark. Floating in space. Not a constellation, just a floating goddamn question mark. I want to scream.
This is exactly the kind of shit Star Trek used to warn us about…

i know i just reblogged this a few hours ago but i keep thinking about this man and his powerful emanations. i think this might actually be the physical manifestation of the soul of new york city. if he dies the city itself becomes pillars of dust
having worked in the seasonal wildlife field I can tell u the most realistic thing about BG3 is when you put a group of absolute strangers together in the woods for six months you can indeed wander from tent to tent at night and be told absolutely the most unhinged facts about their lives and tragic backstories they wouldn’t even share with their closest friends and family back home and then everyone just goes to bed
Astarion’s vampire reveal and anything Shadowheart has to say about Shar frankly pales in comparison to whatever some guy named Cody from Snohomish will tell you about his first Americorps posting
It’s really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.
No seriously it’s REALLY fucked up when you treat characters as if they were real live people while you treat people like they’re just characters.
I’m gonna go ahead and repeat: it is super, duper, extra scooper fucked up when you treat a character as if it were a living person while treating other human beings who are interacting with you like they are merely characters who can be written out of your personal story if you just find a remark mean enough.
high school teacher voice hello neurodivergent openly queer kid everyone sees as weird. you need to select a partner for this group pr- what do you mean everyone partnered up already? what do you mean youre the only one left without a partner? well i guess i have no choice but to force you to walk up to a random set of friends and join their group while they ignore you for the entire class again
Wow, this “gender free” fashion brand sure doesn’t have any AMAB models.
Gonna die fucking mad about this. If you can’t put someone with a beard in one of your skirts, is your clothing gender neutral? If your brand is full of plus-sized black femmes and white, androgynous bean poles, do you really have a handle on diversity?
You passed peer review. Highlighted for emphasis but again:

@tothechaos will you print and eat the entire post? If so, here is a long joke. Don’t choke:
A man obsessed with trains finally steals one and immediately crashes it, killing several people.
At the trial, the man is found guilty of multiple murders and sentenced to death.
Before he faces his sentence, he’s offered a last meal, and asks for a single banana, which is given to him.
The next day, he’s led to the electric chair. They strap him in, pull the switch, and… nothing happens.
There’s never been a failure before. But because you cannot punish a person twice for the same crime, the court is forced to let him go free.
Within a week’s time, naturally, the man, who is obsessed with trains, goes and steals another one.
He doesn’t care that he can’t drive it or that he failed catastrophically before; he is obsessed with trains and his only desire is to operate one. As before, he crashes it, and kills several people.
Again, he stands trial, and again, he is sentenced to death, showing no remorse, only delight that he got to operate the train.
His last meal request is a single banana. When he goes to the chair, the executioner pulls the switch, but nothing happens. He goes free again.
The train-obsessed maniac, once more on the loose, wastes no time in hijacking a train and crashing it.
His trial is speedy, because this has already happened twice, and he is sentenced to death.
They ask him what he’d like for his last meal. “A single banana,” he says.
“Oh, no you don’t, you son of a bitch. We’re on to you, now. We know all about your little banana trick, and you’re not escaping this time!”
The guards refuse his request, and instead serve him a standard last meal of steak, potatoes, and berry cobbler.
The next morning they strap him into the electric chair, pull the switch, and… nothing happens.
“Did you give him the banana?” demands the head guard.
“No, sir! He asked for the banana but we didn’t give it to him, we swear!” says one of the guards.
Turns out the banana had nothing to do with anything. He was just a really bad conductor.
Quick! Gordon Ramsey has tasked you to come up with a new recipe with a rather special ingredient: ‘this trainwreck of a Tumblr post printed out on paper’. You don’t have much time as the exquisite guest will enter the doors of your fancy establishment the moment this post hits 200k notes. Come up with a recipe. Please provide detailed instructions.
Chaos Course Set Meal
Bespoke 9 course meal meant to be enjoyed by @tothechaos
Foreword:
As tasked by the prolific Gordan Ramsey, this 9 Course endeavour will feature the post in its entirety segmented into 9 delightfully ornate, unreasonably complex yet delectably unparalleled dishes. In the following, we’ll see how to prepare each of these dishes.
Course One
Dish name: 10k notes of Hubris
10k Notes of Hubris is a simple risotto with saffron infusion and forest mushrooms, topped with shavings of the top 9th piece of this post, printed in full colour, regular stock. Due to the nature of a 9 course setting, it is wise to start with a simpler dish.
Ingredients (serves four people):
1 teaspoon of saffron
300g carnaroli rice
50g extra virgin olive oil
20g butter
5g shallots
1l vegetable broth
parsley (to taste)
100g porcini mushrooms
80g portobello mushrooms
100g brown mushrooms
5g truffle oil
5g lemon peel and lemon juice
30g parmesan cheese
thyme (a dash)
5g garlic
A pinch of salt and pepper
The first 9th of this post, printed in full colour with regular stock.
Method:
In a saucepan, pour the oil and the chopped shallot(s), then add the rice and saffron and toast
Pour the broth a little at a time and cook slowly. Allow to cook before adding salt and black pepper. Stir in butter, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, truffle oil, lemon juice and peel.
In a separate saucepan, cook the mushrooms with oil, garlic, thyme, salt and black pepper.
Presentation:
At the base of the dish pour the risotto, complete with forest mushrooms and basil leaves. Shave the printed top 9th of the post and sprinkle on top. Drizzle a dash of olive oil before serving.
The next dish and recipe of this 9 course meal, complete with the next 9th of the post printed and incorporated, will be presented by another chef.
i don’t what’s more wild to me, how much we are all working on giving someone ink poisoning or learning that @writing-prompt-s has @one-time-i-dreamt ’s phone number

This post is already one of the most epic I have ever seen. Keep going!
The tumblr post equivalent of the fall of ceasar. Well can’t miss my turn with the knife.
All the other Star Trek series fandoms: We don’t like to talk about our One Weird Episode. If you mention it you will promptly told to shush and never speak of it again. Besides the occasional meme, we really just like to ignore that episode.
The Voyager Fandom: HEY EVERYBODY HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUR LIZARD SEX EPISODE?????????? IT’S CONSIDERED THE WORST EPISODE OF ANY STAR TREK EVER AND ITS ALL OURS!!!!!! WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE IT!!!! IT WON AN EMMY!!!! OUR MAIN FANDOM HOLIDAY IS IN CELEBRATION OF THE LIZARD SEX EPISODE!!!!!! ITS THE FIRST EPISODE WE SHOW OUR FRIENDS WHILE TRYING TO GET THEM TO WATCH OUR SHOW!!!!!!! LOOK AT ALL OF OUR LIZARD SEX MEMES!!!!!
Our Japanese class found it funny that in common terminology “food” isn’t very distinguished from specifically “rice” until it was pointed out to us that in English “meal” is “loose roughly ground grain”
im sorry but you can stop trying to explain to me in anon asks how exactly you think the puritan and transmisogynist harrassment campaign against a large group of people including predstrogen is somehow actually justified which apparently makes it “not harrassment”, even if i agreed with your stupid puritan takes and with painting random transfems as evil deviants or whatever it’d still be a harrassment campaign for christs sake
even if you personally just calmly voiced your opinion in a nice way doesn’t mean we haven’t received hundreds of death threats and massive pedojacketing campaigns as well as harrassment of random unrelated users
it literally doesn’t matter if predstrogen is pure evil, and I don’t know her at all and we have never interacted. I know literally nothing about her and I don’t care in the context of this specific issue. the point is the systemic persecution and the “rules for thee but not for me” type shit that is observably happening to trans women.
So like, to remind people who are trying to downplay the lawsuit talk, tumblr already lost a suit about this last year. If everyone can prove that staff have failed to follow that ruling it’d actually be pretty simple to try to get the aclu to do another class action.

AND these fuckwads are waving the flag of a dead country. Honestly why doesn’t physically displaying the flag of the Confederate outside a museum or history lesson/book in the US count as an act of treason? They’re flying the flag of the first group of people who actively wanted the death of the Union?
