great pyrenees are so fucking awesome theyre just big. if i didnt think that owning one was a supremely bad idea for me in particular id get one. i just think itd become my boss or something. im too lazy for a working breed truly
I feel like I should note what was marked as mature was a snippet about bottom surgery discussing results. A neutral conversation about genitals. A post about a medical procedure. I know it was that snippet because when I removed it I was able to post everything else.
Everyday I see bots stealing the images of transfems sex workers and posting trans sex workers’ genitals without their consent. I get comments about my own genitalia by people sexually harassing me a lot on this website. I report these all the time but they stay up. But a post showing bottom surgery results and discussing genitals in a neutral manner is too much for tumblr. Is posting about trans people’s genitals only okay if it’s non consensual and sexual harassment?
my dick is small and my mental illness is debilitating. from this, i can surmise that it’s not my penis which stores mental illness, but something else entirely
you call this place “wall greens” yet its walls… are not green? how very pecuilar…
ah i see now. so “walgreen” was a clan of bandits who conquered various, smaller apothecaries in order to acquire the vast empire they now sit upon. how very cruel, this “america”. you are ruled by warlords and do nothing to usurp them?
there’s nothing wrong with finding gay sex sexy, even if you’re straight. sex is sex. if a woman is attracted to men, it stands to reason that she might get turned on watching two dudes mack each other’s faces off. vice versa. that’s neither weird nor news to anyone. what is weird and fucked up is consuming queer sexuality without respect for the very-real human beings who are having the queer sex
and yes, that shit is prevalent and aggravating as hell! i get it. but criticizing how people derive pleasure (“she’s evil because she thinks gay-man-sex is hot even though she’s a woman”) rather than how they abuse power (“she thinks gay-man-sex is hot, and consumes queer media in queer spaces, but she also maintains that lesbians are gross and weird and uses her platform to talk over them”) is a recipe for weird puritanical nonsense that solves zero problems and in fact creates several new ones
One of my roommates is from China and neither of us speaks the other’s language but lately when she’s in a chatty mood she comes into our kitchen and shows me these douyin Matt Damon x Ben Affleck RPF videos and puts her theories about how Ben has been pining for Matt into google translate for me to read. fujoing out transcends language barriers
I wrote a longass thing about kink and pride and how people are trapping themselves in a closet of their own making and getting mad at everyone else for not similarly engaging in normative sexuality but I deleted it. I deserve some kind of reward… dubloons perhaps
Hahaha okay I’ll just say one brief thing [handing back some doubloons] queer people who happily engage in the whole “Eww i hate these icky degenerate other queers, we’re normal unlike them” the gates of heaven are closed to you and you will never be happy defining yourself solely by the Aesthetic Du Jour and what you are Not (the caricature of queerness that right wingers have crafted) and I think deep down you know that too
Call me crazy, but I don’t think the people that use Pride Month as an excuse to expose non-consenting adults and sometimes children to their fetishes and be gross in public are the arbiters of who goes to heaven and not.
I’m gonna be as polite as possible:
1) You have almost entirely imagined this group of people. They do not exist. You have fallen for a specific caricature of gay people as sexual predators designed by homophobic right wingers. I would take a second to pause and take a step back and wonder what basis in reality your fears about exhibitionists exploiting kids at Pride have.
2) Gross does not mean harm. Part of living in a public space means learning to distinguish between the two. The temptation to conflate it in order to lend moral credence to your feelings of disgust is powerful but it doesn’t make it valid. People will see a gay couple chastely hold hands and be overwhelmed with feelings of disgust. They will see a gay couple give each other a peck on the cheek and think it’s the grossest thing they’ve ever seen in their lives. Disgust alone can’t be the sole measure of what is and isn’t allowed in public spaces.
3) Sorry to dig up old discourse, but unfortunately there is a difference between “performing” kink and engaging in kink. A person in a dog mask at Pride is, most likely, not necessarily titilated by the activity or feeling aroused in a particular way. Same with people in leather. They’re almost certainly just preoccupied with advertising their lifestyles to other queer kinksters in the same way that anyone in a rainbow tee is. Why do you think people wearing leather to Pride are secretly getting off to it? Have you ever spoken to them? Because you’ll find their primary emotion, at least in my experience, is largely variations on a theme of “It’s so fucking hot here and I wanna go home and shower and get a vodka soda.” They’re not like, secretly nutting. Seeing someone in leather gear is not “participating” in their kink any more than seeing someone in a rainbow shirt is participating in their gay relationship. You can’t “not” consent to seeing someone in leather gear any more than you can “not” consent to seeing someone in a shirt that says like, “I love blowjobs.”
3) Pride isn’t “for” kids. This isn’t to say kids aren’t welcome; rather, as an event it did not originate as an activity or gathering catered towards kids. Its rules and goals were never formed with children in mind. I would again urge you to consider why you think Pride is an event that needs to cater to children and why you think a statistically significant number of them are attending Pride specifically with the children in attendance in mind.
“average doctor fucks 3 times a week” factoid actually just a statistical error. Average doctor fucks 0 times a week. Fuck meister 15, who drags rouges into his snogbox and fucks 10,000 times a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
people will read books they Do Not Like™ and then wonder why they hate reading
“i don’t like long books” read short ones. “i don’t like prose” try poetry. “i don’t want to pay for a book i might not even like” go to your local library.
reading is the hobby that you make it; make it something you like.
seeing this mentioned in the tags, but for the love of all that is good and holy please stop making yourself read books you don’t like. you know yourself better than any curation or recommendation, if you’re not enjoying it, you can put it down.
reading for leisure is supposed to be fun. you can’t have fun if you’re actively robbing yourself of joy while you do it!
Adding to this - if you are reading a book and it’s not required for work, school or university, and you are Not Enjoying It… You Can Stop Reading It. No one is going to penalise you. No one is going to tell you off. No one is going to take away your good grade in reading. You can stop reading it. Return it to the library if it was a library book. Give it away, to a friend, to a charity/thrift shop/second hand book shop, eBay, Amazon, whatever. Chuck it out if it was that bad. Was it for a book club? Turning up to the book club and going ‘could not finish this, it was awful’ might be a valid response, or alternately you could just skip out on it. A friend is pressuring you to read it? Just tell them it’s not your thing, maybe they could summarise the key takeaways they wanted you to see?
Life is too short to force yourself to read things you really don’t care about and don’t need to read.
having a king bed sounds scary what if you try to put the fitted sheet on and get lost in there and die like a caver
hi this is andys roommate he got snatched up by a big hawk in the park and now hes gone forever do U feel good that this comment was the last thing he ever got to see on the computer
As someone whose been on this website 10+ years I’ve seen more trans women banned recently than I’ve ever seen Neo nazis on this website banned or TERFs
genuinely insane how often trans women get banned vs terfs n nazis like. i will see a reply from a neo-nazi on a post and they’ll more often than not still be there by the next time i see it while like half of the trans women i see on posts are fuckin Poofed
yall remember how the best anti fashist action that ever happend on this site was when out of nowhere suddenly tonnes of fash blogs were being taken over by Woody from Toy Story, how some annonmous person or group just decided one day to do something about it and started taking them out, fuckin Woody’s Roundup was more effective than staff has ever been
Today’s happy posting: my dad agreed to take me to the farmers market on Saturday! I’m so excited. I hope I can pick up some nice teas and handmade soaps !
Happy posting:

I also bought some plants at the farmers market, my grandma got me a blazing star!! I’m going to plant it in my yard
THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is not “chronological order” or “the drama” or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised site “culture” in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.
Okay so I just watched a video of a boy who once identified as trans still got bottom surgery after he realized he was cis and people were so fucking rude? Like just because this cis dude has a vagina people were calling him transphobic and wishing death upon him.
So this is a reminder that when we as a community advocate for bodily autonomy and gender surgeries that means everyone regardless of gender can do whatever they want with their bodies.
If someone who is cisgender wants top/bottom surgery THEY CAN GET IT. If someone wants facial plastic surgeries that we usually find creepy like buccal fat removal or eye lifts THEY CAN GET IT. And here’s the really controversial one but if someone wants to do things that harm their body like hard drugs or diy mods THEY CAN DO IT!
Because body autonomy isn’t just “I can get bottom surgery to pass” or “I can get an abortion” it’s also all the wild stuff that makes us uncomfortable and that’s okay.
