It really is super fucking annoying how much Homestuck is used as a buzzword for funny cringe just because a bunch of teenagers were “cringe” about it a decade ago. It’s a good story, a monumental achievement, something that makes better use of its medium than almost any other story of its kind and is absolutely worthy of in-depth discussion to this very day. Fuck you for treating this piece of art like anything less than that.
was trying to find body positivity posts for trans guys that look like me and couldn’t. so here’s a post for all the trans guys with wide hips and dad bods. you are hot, you are desirable, and you are doing great
huge thank you to all the positive comments on this post y’all are amazing :) please please feel free to add to this post <3 thank you so much folks y’all have made my extremely stressful week great 🥹
KID WATCHING THE VIDEO: This guy’s not not tied to his rope… this - dude, this guy’s crazy, does he have a death wish or somethin’? Oh my gosh! Doesn’t he have like a wife and kids at home???
[parachute opens up to reveal it is rainbow]
KID, IN EXACT SAME TONE: Doesn’t he have a husband and kids at home???
I have no idea why I made this but I had a thought and couldn’t get it out of my head
This is some nonsense lol
Firstly the image doesn’t mention the government, and Second, the government is very much a reason for why we don’t have good rail infrastructure in the US, the underfunding of Amtrak, the FRA and transit subsidies make building out new transit incredibly difficult
So, apparently a bunch of countries, including Canada (the US’s closest ally and host of the next G7 summit), do not allow convicted felons to enter their borders. So, if, say, a convicted felon happened to be elected the president of the united states, they’d have a real problem on their hands…
me: [typing post that says "i just remembered i never beat off"]
me, internal: watch out!you say “beat off” here to mean masturbation. However, the phrase “beat off” could also refer to completing a playthrough of “off”, the 2008 rpg video game by mortis ghost! without context, it would appear you were talking about bideo games!
me: whoa….id better be more careful!

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets
her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.
remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.
I wish kinky sex ed wasn’t so stigmatized even among left-leaning “sex positive” circles.Everyone’s all “uwu I’m a sub I’ll do anything you ask” okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly
I’m so glad you asked! Let me list off what I’ve got for you:
Books I personally recommend:
- The New Topping Book and The New Bottoming Book, by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy
If you’re having kinky sex at all, you need to read at least one of these two books. Point blank. They’ll teach you the very basics of negotiating properly (which is critical!), and help you identify what you are and aren’t into.
- Mindfucking Mindfully, by Sir Ezra Where this book really shines isn’t actually in helping you “mindfuck” people, it’s in taking a close look at how to do so ethically. It’s a great answer to the question “how do I get someone to consent to something and still surprise and shock them with it?”
- Real Service by Raven Kaldera and Joshua Tenpenny This is a slightly niche pick but there simply isn’t a better book on the subject. It’s written from a 24/7 M/s perspective, which is not what I do, but the book itself is an indispensable guide to giving and receiving service. The phrase “if the Master doesn’t want it, it isn’t service” will be burned into my psyche for quite some time. I love this book a lot. Maybe my favorite out of all of these.
- Enough To Make You Blush: Exploring Erotic Humiliation, by Princess Kali This one’s high on my reading list; I’ve heard it recommended by a number of people whose opinions on these things I trust.
- Pretty Much Anything Midori Has Ever Done Midori is a great resource for this stuff - I haven’t personally read much of her work, but she’s a well known sex educator and great at what she does. She’s known for bondage, but has a lot of range beyond that.
- This Negotiations Worksheet from Bex Talks Sex This is what I default to using a lot of the time for negotiations. Forget BDSMtest, you don’t need that, it’s no good. Just look through this worksheet’s wordbank with your partner. Big fan especially of the “how do you want to feel?” section.
Books I can kind of recommend:
- The Ultimate Guide to Kink, edited by Tristan Taormino This book is weird. There’s a lot of good info for experienced players, but some of what’s written here skeeves me out. I think if I had a top that thought the way some of the tops in here think, they would not be topping me for long. But there’s some good techniques and so on to pick up that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I liked the distinction one of the authors makes between being sadistic in the sense of inflicting pain and being sadistic in the sense of doing something your sub doesn’t “enjoy.”
- The Ritual of Dominance and Submission, by David English Man, this book fucking sucks. The writing and editing are garbage, and the fear and protocol play described need way more careful negotiation than he ever lets on, let alone recommends. This is some 50 Shades bullshit. The only time I recommend this book is to tops like me who tend to be very affirming to their partners and need a guide on how to really scare them - when their partner consents and when you negotiate it, which this book sucks at teaching you. Really good content on fear, punishment, and protocol play, really terrible presentation of the topic though. Don’t read this if you don’t already know what you’re doing.
- Paradigms of Power, by Raven Kaldera I love this book. Great book. Very focused on 24/7 M/s play though, and, being an anthology, some chapters are better than others. If you can’t read something and pick out what is and isn’t for you, don’t bother. But some really great inspiration, and generally pretty well written. Big fan of the discussion of leather throughout the book.
Hope some of these are helpful for people ^-^ for the average person reading this I recommend New Bottoming/Topping, but they’re all important parts of my library and I’ve recommended all of them to friends at some point or another.
My personal collection of Kink Education and Practice books. Beware, some require intense negotiation to ever practice in real time, and some are intense edge play related.
Also average tumblr user does not know what a chaser is (hint: it isn’t when you are attracted to trans women)
Chasers are people who will actively go after vulnerable groups of people to sexually exploit.
In the case of chasers who go after transfems, they are looking for transfems who are emotionally vulnerable and crave validation so they can manipulate them. At best they will treat transfems in seemingly nice ways (to fuck us). At worst they will treat us like a disposable sex object who should shut the fuck up when not in use. They disregard boundaries, they project transmisogynistic tropes onto the transfems they prey on, they exoticise transfems and will generally treat us like shit with just enough validation to keep them in the relationship.
Ultimately, a chaser is never even someone who is genuinely just attracted to transfems. Chasers mainly just see trans women as easy prey or as whatever fantasy they have from shitty porn and not as people.
Chaser is not a “haha funny meme word”. It’s a term for a type of predators and bigots.
No actually we don’t need to do that. We don’t need to “reclaim” a word that means sexual predator. We don’t need that. There is nothing to be gained from that. T4T attraction isn’t being a chaser. Framing it as that is harmful in that it encourages and normalises chasers and simultaneously stigmatises our attraction to each other. We don’t need to associate chasers with just being attracted to trans people. There is literally nothing to be gained from “reclaiming” this. Did you not fucking read the post above???
Remember to support severely mentally ill people this pride month btw!! If someone’s identity is caused by delusions that’s not your fucking place to come tell them they’re wrong. If someone’s identity is caused by trauma that’s none of your fucking business. If someone identifies with one label due to comfort or shared experiences even though some other label would “fit better” don’t fucking comment. And leave those fucking plural and autistic Xenogender people, whose genders revolve around their headspace, alone!
We need to be aware and willing to accept that mental illness does often affect one’s queerness and is often in a complex relationship with it. You do not!! Get a free pass to invalidate someone’s identity based on their mental or physical health.
my bluetooth earbuds: Power On! Connecting… Unable To Connect! 😢 Tithe Pool Empty! 😵🔋
ughhhh… fine 🙄 (opens an intricate and ornate wooden chest decorated with many sigils, some of solomon, some far older; and out emerges a tiny clay man, dancing erratically, a noise like a song struggling to break free, muffled and mumbled—for this homunculus has no mouth, no eyes, not even a face! only four flat limbs and a featureless torso. it finishes its dance by splaying its arms wide and a Magpie silently swoops down from a power line, snatches the small clayman in its talons, and carries it away, far away, until the deep blue of the afternoon sky becomes blacker than the walls of night that girdle our dreams)

Serial Killer Ed Sheeran’s New Single: Im in love with a Piece of You! You are destroyed by a magnet!
i saw the trailer for the new feel-good “anti-racist” US war movie about the carpet bombing of North Korea and started writing up something for this blog, partially inspired by the absolute shit storm i got for sharing that post i made with pictures of everyday life outside pyongyang
and then i gave up, because what’s the point? westerners can’t even handle a single picture of a north korean not looking miserable without screaming propaganda
meanwhile, there are no stories about the horrors of life in the ‘hermit kingdom’ that are deemed too outlandish to be believable. i can’t remember who said it, but it’s like the entire country has taken up permanent residence in the western imaginary as some silly little cartoon villain, where the leaders of the country does evil things for no discernible reason. they’re just silly and evil like that, and the citizens, of course, are silly, too. silly and brainwashed.
i watched a video recently of a tourists visiting an auto dealership in pyongyang, and the entire time he was just gawking at the employees and costumers, shoving his phone in their face, and confidently explaining to his youtube audience that everyone he’s interacting with are actually actors.
what level of dehumanization do you have to reach for that thought to even cross your mind? to think that the people you see before you are actors? that entire cities and shops are erected with to sole purpose that you, a western, will see them and be impressed?
what frustrates me the most is the casual cruelty that seeps into any mention of north korea, no matter how small. if north koreans are not being evil, they’re being silly.
a north korean newspaper reports that a group of archeologists in pyongyang have discovered an old rock carving with the words ‘unicorn lair’ (mistranslated), and the western press reports that north koreans now believe in unicorns.
a tourist at a hotel in hamhung is told by the receptionist to be careful at the beach: the waves can get high. that day the tourists goes to the beach, and there are no waves. she retells the story to her instagram followers, explaining that the poor woman at the hotel could never have seen real waves before because north koreans are probably never allowed to travel.
she adds a little teary-eyed emoji.
one of the cities i included in the post was sariwon, a densely populated city to the south of pyongyang. below are some pictures from its “folk customs street”, which was built to showcase old korean traditions and customs
here’s all wikipedia has to say about it
Built to display an ideal picture of ancient Korea, it includes
buildings in the “historical style” and a collection of ancient Korean
cannons.
Although it is considered an inaccurate romanticized recreation of an
ancient Korean street, it is frequently used as a destination for
foreigners on official government tours. Many older style Korean
buildings exist in the city.
it’s just north koreans being silly again. there’s no mention of what might motivate them to build a street like that
— why the preservation of old customs, culture and architecture might somehow be important for the city
could it perhaps have something to do with how the U.S. air force dropped
635,000 tons
of bombs, including
32,557 tons of napalm, over the korean peninsula during the war? the carpet bombings, which are now the topic of an upcoming hollywood movie about overcoming racism through warcrimes, destroyed an estimate of 85% of all buildings in north korea. some cities were entirely wiped off the map.
in sariwon they missed a few buildings, but not many
—
after an intense firebombing campaign the U.S. military estimated the destruction of sariwon to be at 95%.
none of this is mentioned on the wikipedia page for sariwon.
we destroyed entire cities. memory-holed the entire thing,
called it the forgotten war. and now, 70 years later, we’re convincing ourselves that the people living in the ruins are actors.
and somehow the north koreans are the brainwashed ones
A tutorial on a (bit cheating) way of creating fictional maps.
Open your editing software (RECOMMENDING Krita, since it’s free and it’s very good).
Step 1: Google “X country silhouette” and copy it.
Paste it onto the canvas.
Step 2: Separate the silhouette from the background you copied with it! You can do that by using magic wand selection tool or by making a gradient map with black on 49,9% and transparent on 50% on the slider.
Step 3: Repeat several times with numerous countries and/or islands, cities, municipalities, communes, continents et cetera.
Step 4: Combine, mesh, stretch, rotate, mirror - go ham, make it work.
Step 5: Erase and add.
Step 6: Have your map outline ready, copy/paste it several times in the same doc on different layers and edit in different ways like biomes, kingdoms, mountains and other.
Step Mountains+: To figure out mountains, make another layer on the doc and do something like this:
-and then in every polygon you add an arrow.
Where arrows meet or transfer onto continents, add mountains.
Color the sea with a couple layers of depth and you’re done :D
At the Cincinnati stop of her “world tour”, Taylor Swift ends her set. As she walks off the stage, she leans into a nearby mic and says “oh by the way, I’m lesbian”.
She’s still milking a public relationship with a man named Chett Whitesman, so this is met with a combination of cheers and confusion. Immediately, the media mobilizes. They have to intercept her before she gets onto her private jet, and ambush her for an interview. Luckily, this has become much easier these days. Since the release of her 2027 album, “The Carbon Emissions of my Heart”, T Swizzle has performed a ritual sacrifice of an endangered species on live camera every time she boards her jet, a #girlboss way of saying that her emotional pain can only be healed by the tortured screams of drowning polar bears.
(Since this practice started, a devoted faction of Swifties have started a carbon negative algae farming commune, with the express intent of negating taytay sweezie’s contributions to climate change. Apparently “her tortured soul deserves to pollute without guilt”. They haven’t even come close to their goals.)
Taytor Twift is intercepted after this ritual, as she’s walking up the steps of her plane. When asked what the lesbian statement was about, she nonchalantly says “oh, I thought it was clear that was a joke. Anyways, G T G!” , before biting into the still beating heart of an emperor penguin.
During her flight, discourse on the newly renamed twitter-X-ElonIsExtremelyVirile Corp goes nuclear like it never has been before.
There’s a camp of swifties thoroughly convinced that her relationship with Chett is all a beard so that she can still keep touring in the New Christian Republic of Florida, and the interview at the plane was deepfaked.
A different camp of Swifties feels insulted and betrayed that she would be anything less than a paragon of allyship. To them, this is the worst slight the queer community has ever experienced.
A third camp of Swifties insists that she *is* dating Chett, and is also a lesbian. They get insulted that anyone would police Taylor’s labels. Comparisons to the Boulder, Colorado shooter are made.
A group of non Swifties tries to point out that everyone is fucking insane and that ‘ole taytay regularly tear gases pride rallies to make way for her promenade to stadium venues, and who the fuck cares about this shit and point out that what a billionaire celebrity does for five minutes of PR is not worth your attention or discourse, nor does it warrant harassing other people for the labels *they* use, and isn’t it really fucked up that Taylor is making a joke of how people describe their identities? They are promptly doxxed, harassed, and banned.
Bi lesbian discourse is off the charts. Nothing Taylor said has anything to do with it, but it happens anyways.
A lone transsexual who actually goes outside once in a while tweets “hey guys isn’t it kinda fucked up that 2.4 billion people have been displaced by mega storms this year that her jet contributes to and is also specifically designed to fly over” and is promptly doxxed and harassed off the platform.
After an exhausting 9 minute plane ride, Tailing Swiffer lands in Columbus for the next performance of her world tour. She unveils a new single that contains the line “ride my horse after dumping him, stepping up onto my SAD dle”.
All is forgotten. All is quiet. The Swifties continue as usual, moving on to the next discourse about these lyrics.

My uncle is autistic so he has sensory sensitivities, and he’s largely nonverbal so he can’t tell you what those sensitivities Are, so what he does is, if you give him a shirt that is a bad texture, he goes and gets his scissors and he cuts it into tiny little pieces so no one can ever ask him to wear it ever again, and the thing is is that he is so totally right
This post is okay to rb and also if you are neurodivergent when you are In A Situation you are advised to think “is this when uncle matt would go and get the scissors” and if the answer is yes then it is time to put your foot down
call me the fucking ~internet police~ BUT I DIDN’T KNOW UNTIL TODAY THAT THERE’S LITERALLY A COMMUNITY OF “PEDOPHILE POSITIVITY” ON THIS HELLSITE
THERE ARE PEOPLE OPENLY ADMITTING THAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO CHILDREN/CONSUMING CHILD PORN ON THIS WEBSITE!?!??! THERE’S 13 YEAR OLDS ON HERE!!!
so my dudes, how to flag “maps” (minor attracted people aka pedophiles)
1. click “flag this blog”
2. click “this violates tumblr’s community guildlines”
3. click “someone is at risk of harm”
4. click “harm to minors”
5. type “pedophile” in the box
THIS IS GOOD AND ALL BUT PLEASE IF THEY HAVE ACTUAL CP PLEASE REPORT IT TO FBI TIPS,
If it’s clear they have broken laws (they post/talk about using child porn, admit to things they’ve done with minors, etc), go fill out a form here ( https://tips.fbi.gov ) to make the FBI aware and bring this filth to justice. Every single one. And if there’s no proof of criminal offense, then go on and flag them, at least then they aren’t here to prey on children on the internet.
Hi guys I recently had a run in with a pedophile who was posting child pornography, please don’t call the police there’s not a whole lot they can do in situations of tracking unlessit’s in your home state! And they don’t have a department that deals with blogs.
Instead call 1-800-843-5678 or fill out a form for cybertipline.com , they reach out within the same day and deal with these assholes all the time. They will contact you if they need more assistance or if they’ve resolved it! The police department redirected me to the hotline and will do so in every situation unless it’s local. Stay safe!
WHAT THE FUCK EW????????
REBLOG TO WRECK A PEDOPHILE
yes, please report to the fbi or the other place mentioned. tumblr will only delete the blog and all of the evidence.
Also use IWF (Internet Watch Foundation/ iwf.org.uk) for mentioned imagery, especially if in the UK. You can even report anonymously.
i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.
it effects everything.
being trans is easier when youre white.
being gay is easier when youre white.
being disabled is easier when youre white.
being a woman is easier when youre white.
being autistic is easier when youre white.
oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.
you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.
never forget this.
three things:
1. it’s true
2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt
3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this
As much as I’d like to be idealistic in the upcoming election and vote for the greens, none of us can really survive another Tory government. Don’t believe for a moment that your vote wouldn’t matter, or that Labour would be just as bad. Under a Tory government, the country has gone to shit, despite (according to the site below) more votes being cast overall for opposition parties.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote, and please consider doing so tactically - stopthetories hopes to provide data for each electorate on who best to vote for to make sure these heartless slimes lose their hold on parliament.
Good morning, why are we comparing artsy-farty landscapes with the horrible, miserable, oppressive and EXTREMELY exhausting and difficult existence of the LGBTQIAA community? 🤡
This is so undermining. 😩
that was a lot of words, are you sure you know what they all mean? because it looks like you just pulled out a thesaurus and looked up the word “bad”
straight men are always just like. ambling along. no awareness of the space or people around them. they are mola mola fish blocking every doorway i need to pass through
Denver Zoo and its gay lorikeets said fuck homophobes happy Pride
In case anyone was curious, Denver Zoo is literally hosting a Pride event this year called “True Colors Safari”:
“Celebrate Your YOUness with an adventure-packed evening at Denver Zoo! Whether it’s in the animal kingdom or your own community, we all thrive when our unique selves come together in beautiful harmony. After all, we’re each perfect exactly the way we are. So come join this celebration where birds of every feather can flock together and show off their true colors in wild and amazing ways. Explore a festive world of music, entertainment, food and drinks, community conversations and fascinating animal experiences all highlighting the LGBTQIA+ community and organizations.”
So yeah. These homophobes are REALLY barking up the wrong tree.
HI GUYS I ACTUALLY WORK IN THE EXHIBIT THESS TWO LIVE IN AND THEYRE LOVELY! They’re both coconut lorikeets and are super silly.
We also have two gay flamingos in an interracial relationship! One is an American flamingo and one is a Chilean! All of our flamingos are named after musicians and one of the gay ones is named Freddie Mercury! Pic below!
If you guys have any questions about lorikeets in general(or trey and Apollo specifically) send me an ask!!!
Reminder: If you have no voter ID, apply for a postal vote.
Signal boost for UK followers.
Sneaky though that looks (and IMO it IS sneaky, surfacing now as it has) the reason is legit: issue of 60+ cards require a passport or other “strong” ID, issue 18+ cards do not.
However the Registration To Vote deadline is 11:59pm on 18 June 2024.
That means 19 days as of this post, and the clock is ticking.
*****
Northern Ireland’s equivalent to the Voter Authority Certificate is an Electoral Identity Card, for which the deadline is midnight on 26 June 2024.
However:
When will I receive my card?
It takes time to process your application. If your application is successful you should allow up to six weeks to receive your Electoral Identity Card.
I wonder how an application for one of these made right now - or indeed made the instant the General Election was announced - will play out come 4th June.
Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).
Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).
Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% /
8.1%
of the time respectively while being included
78.9%
/ 81.2% of the time (x)
Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.
Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations
yeah that’s super important.
This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.
Be kind. 💜
“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?
“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”
Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.
And when you reblog peoples posts where they’re self identifying as queer and tag it with cw: q slur, you’re telling us that you see our identities themselves as foul and triggering and you are aligning yourself with the above groups.
just invented something at dinner called soundboard storytime where i explain the plot of hamlet to my younger sister & her friend while our other sister punctuates every sentence with a choice sound bite from her phone
“hamlet STABS the man behind the curtain, thinking it’s claudio—- but it’s POLONIUS. [vine boom] [OOOO MA GAAAWWWD] that’s right, he just killed his girlfriend’s FATHER. [WAT DA HEEEELLLLLL] [BRUH.mp3]”
I hope western leftists know that standing for a free Palestine is not the end of decolonization. I’ve seen far too many white leftists who proudly stand for freeing Palestine which is good but then get nervous and apprehensive at the idea of decolonizing the very land they are on. Norway will recognize Palestine but actively tear down Sámi liberation. Liberation for one people means it for us all. If you support Palestinian liberation but deny it for the Indigenous people of the land you’re on then you didn’t stand for Palestinians or any of us to begin with.
Oppression anywhere is oppression everywhere, and that includes at home
these are all of the people i could think of for now but anyone who sees this please rb!
KOSA will not ‘protect the children’. KOSA will never ‘protect the children’. KOSA will not stop kids from learning about queer people and women’s rights outside of the internet. Unlike what the conservatives want to believe, LGBTQIA+ people and woman’s rights exist outside of this place. Like, you know that people talking to each other has existed since the beginning of time, right? Censoring the internet does nothing but add absolutely unnecessary surveillance. The only way to stop people from learning these things is to censor our society completely, which I would like to think would be impossible, but I really wouldn’t put it past the government, especially if Trump gets back in office.
Moral of the story, call your senators. Tag who you know and do what you can do to help, as the original post says. Reblog this.
i love seeing my mutuals hyperfixate over stuff i know nothing about, ‘cause i’m just sitting there cheering them on like “do we like that person you’re talking about? no?? BIG no?? oKAY BOOO BOOOOOOO WE DON’T LIKE THEM” like a confused but really trying parent
