hey, can anyone help me? I’m a little lost. I’m supposed to have an owner. like, i’m certain of it, there’s no way i’m supposed to exist without belonging to another person, but i can’t find them? i can’t find anyone who owns me right now. which doesn’t seem right. so if someone could come along and decide that i’m theirs that would be really nice. thanks <3 ^_^

This was intentionally manufactured by Facebook. Facebook implemented it’s “accountability culture” starting with its rule about only using your real name and photo on its service and encouraging you to disclose other information in your profile, and from there it just got normalized. It was entirely to gather data for advertising purposes, but now we associate that level of openness with “accountability”. Entire generations are now being raised with this as the norm. Privacy is no longer a priority, or even really seen as an option.
This is to your detriment. Your privacy protects you from predators of all kinds. You really should be guarding it carefully. Disclose what you feel is important on a case by case basis, but even your mental health status and beliefs are exploitable by big business and small-time bullies and abusers alike.
Even if you’re not overly fussed about what people know about you, just understand that not everyone has the luxury of feeling the same. Some people have stalkers and abusers they’re trying to evade, or don’t want to attract new abusers into their lives by being that vulnerable and open again. Some people have extreme social anxiety. Some people are protecting other people in their lives. Some people just don’t want their grandmothers to find their smutfics. Some people are Internet privacy advocates who keep their details private as a political statement and as a matter of principle.
You are not entitled to anyone’s information, and you do not owe anyone yours. You are allowed to just be an anonymous username until you feel safe to disclose more.

This! Bring back handles! Let me decide when im ready to tell you my IRL name.
earlier my husband opened our snack cabinet and something fell out and he put it back and then a second later i heard him say very quietly “no, it chose me” and then he took it and walked away
Choke. Just think about it, seriously. Think about what choking is and imagine speaking while it’s happening. That would fuckin’ hurt, man.
Hiss. Look, it’s just not possible, okay? No matter how “evil” you want your character to seem.
Snarl. Animals snarls. The Beast from Beauty and the Beast snarls. The Hulk snarls. You know who doesn’t snarl? PEOPLE WHEN THEY’RE SPEAKING.
Shriek. Come on, 99% of the time, “shriek” is not the word you want.Let’s face it: if you put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence, your reader gets the picture. Don’t bring to mind banshees and screaming toddlers.
Sneer. I’m not even going to bother explaining this one. “SNEER” ISN’T EVEN A SOUND.
Choked is not meant to be taken literally, an obstruction in the throat. It means they’re having difficultly speaking, they’re forcing the words out with difficulty. Often used when the character is convulsed in tears or laughter.
Hiss is a low, threatening whisper. Raw, guttural, vicious. It is NOT a literal hiss like an animal, it is a tone of voice that serves the same function. Someone will hiss that they’re going to cut your throat- a message from one person to the other.
Snarl is the same kind of thing. Not literal, it’s a tone of voice that serves the same function. It’s raw and gutteral like a hiss, but more savage than vicious. It’s loud, it’s showy, it’s intimidating. It’s very alpha male, big man, look at how fucking dangerous I am. I’ll take ALL of you on. Even if they’re snarling at one person in particular, nobody better back them up or they’re gonna get fucked up too.
Shriek. Come on, seriously? We’ve all heard people shriek either in fear or outrage. High pitched, loud, out of control, feminine. Men can shriek, but it’s funny and emasculating. Think angry italian women throwing pots and pans or ladies on tables who just saw a mouse.
Sneering is contempt whether it’s a facial expression or a tone of voice or both. There are a hundred different ways to sneer with your voice, but it all adds up to the same thing.

you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own “bad decisions” i don’t care. it doesn’t matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.
Search and rescue teams do not ask if a hiker was properly equipped and prepared before they go out to look for them.
EMTs do not ask if a driver checked their mirrors before they take them to the hospital.
Lifeguards do not ask if a swimmer made a mistake by going into a riptide before they dive in after them.
Judgement doesn’t help anyone, including you, the person doing the judging. Just help people. Just shut the fuck up and help people.
You are not safe from this. You, the person reading this, are not safe from this. No matter how educated or open minded you think you are, you are not safe from this. The moment you think you are safe from it is the moment you become the most susceptible.
Its similar to why you cannot put bad people in a class of their own. The moment you do that you stop being able to see the bad things that the people closest to you do a la “my best friend couldn’t have said that racist thing, they’re not evil.”
The moment you think you are immune from this type of backslide into right wing nonsense is the moment you stop questioning yourself enough to keep yourself from backsliding into right wing nonsense a la “I mean im not antiscience, im vaccinated, I just think that fluoride in our water supply is imparting children’s ability to learn as fast as they otherwise could without it.”
Remember, being progressive means progressing, its about always moving forward. The moment you rest on your laurels and stop putting in effort to keep the progression is the moment you start becoming left behind.
yuri being held to a higher moral standard than yaoi is preventing me from reading mafia boss daughter x pathetic lesbian tortured by loan sharks. and that is just such a shame…
reading comprehension questions:
Did tumblr user bevsi say there is no good yuri?
Based on the text and her existence, can you infer that tumblr user bevsi has sought out said material?
Did tumblr user Bevsi say or suggest that the higher moral standards are her own, or can it be inferred that this is a reflection of the genre in general?
so I went to the counseling center at my school to set up an appointment etc etc and I know they have a therapy dog there and I was like “where’s the dog?” and the receptionist was like ‘oh I’m sorry, she’s in a meeting right now’ and I look over at the other room and there is a fucking dog sitting in a chair at a long table sitting next to all these people in business suits and I felt like I was in a dream

My obligatory addition to this every time it crosses my dash, because I know the link is definitely missing ones in my own (northern) state and there are some in this thread not on the above link either - thread by LeVar Burton with a LOT of replies from people naming the sundown towns near them:
Working in food service is so surreal because like… nothing I do for people is anywhere close to life and death, but some customers absolutely act as though it is. I look a woman dead in the eye and solemnly inform her that unfortunately we are out of oat milk, and I see her heart shatter in front of me, right there at the bakery counter at 8 in the morning. I feel like a handsome TV surgeon informing someone that their beloved fiancée died on the table. He’s gone… I’m so sorry. We lost him. We are out of oat milk
dick makes people mentally ill. dick havers, dick wannabes and dick lovers are all insane. it's like toxoplasmosis, you have compulsive need to defend and push and worship dicks all the time and spead your dick mania to everywhere you go.
I honestly feel like the proliferation of LED headlights was the canary in the coalmine for the general attitude we see in the political climate these days and i’m not even remotely kidding
Very much in line with the attitude of “this choice will marginally improve the way I move through the world and make everyone else’s experience SIGNIFICANTLY worse, but I don’t really care, based simply on the fact that I am allowed to do it and there’s nothing they can or will do to stop me” ya feel me?
I used to live in an apartment complex and this guy had those super bright headlights, a custom job that was WAY brighter than the norm. He would use his brights in the apartment complex and when his headlights were on your window you could read fine print with the curtains closed.
We yelled at him and told him to at least turn off his brights and he told us to go fuck ourselves. So one night after he came rolling back in at 2 or 3 in the morning someone smashed his headlights in with a hammer and sprayed black spray paint inside the holes. The reverse lights too as they were also obnoxiously bright.
Police came by the next day after he woke up and screamed blood and vengeance for an hour. I think we were all questioned and not 1 person knew anything.
Property management had to admit that the fake security cameras were actually fake.
Guy got his system fixed exactly the same and went around loudly bragging about it. Guy went back out to set up his camera to watch the car and went to bed. The camera was smashed from behind spray painted and again the headlights and reverse lights, with the added bonus of a side view mirror smashed and spray painted.
This time the only person who said anything to the cops was a guy who could confirm it wasn’t at 5 am because he went out with a gas can and a box of matches but the job had already been done. And funnily enough saying “well I was going to do it but someone beat me to it” isn’t actually illegal.
He put in much more sensible headlights and didn’t turn his brights on in the parking lot anymore.
wtf i’m literally shaking and crying right now i just saw silver bullets for sale on temu why the fuck are there silver bullets on temu

Hey. Hey. Look at me. Do you genuinely believe Temu of all places is going to have genuine sterling silver bullets for sale? TEMU. Wish and Shein’s bastard child?

they had wooden stakes on there too i’m actually fearing for my and my partner’s lives right now

Yeah I bought some wooden stakes from Temu and they broke instantly. I wasn’t even using any force to put them in my lawn as it rained quite recently. I wouldn’t worry too much about any silver bullets you find. They’re probably just silver plated.
🍖 roadkill-meatloaf Follow
Can confirm- Temu silver isn’t real and can’t hurt us. I bought a bunch of silver jewelry off there because I can’t afford anything the legitimate stores are selling and when I tried them they barely even burned. Not worth it.

Friendly reminder that asking your lycan partner to turn you is incredibly insensitive! Seriously can we retire this trope already? Not only is it just offensive, but no one would ever actually choose this life! Lycanthropy is a curse. Full stop.
🐾 superhowllock69 Follow
Ok user “moon-moon” as if that original meme wasn’t created to mock pack nomenclature 🙄
Anyway I’m not gonna touch that internalized lycanphobia with a ten foot pole. Being turned by your partner is something that can be incredibly intimate as long as both parties are consenting and the one being turned is 100% sure they want it. Literally the only downside to transforming once a month is the pain, but midol works just fine. No one with these “lycanthropy bad” takes ever wants to discuss the legitimate positives that come with this “curse” lmao.
🐺 moon-moon4w00 Follow
I’m literally reclaiming moon moon but go off I guess. Anyways turning your partner is absolutely disgusting and morally reprehensible and anyone who does it should be muzzled permanently.
🌜 impawssible Follow
lmao my wife literally saved my life when she turned me but i guess she should be muzzled huh? we run through the woods hunting deer together and can each haul in groceries in one trip now, but nooo she’s obviously a danger to society because she cares enough about me to help me when insurance wouldn’t cover my medicine
also it was confirmed that the creator of that meme literally makes and sells silver bullets so if you still wanna use moon moon for yourself that certainly is a choice. source: (X)

I love that instead of naming the more common benefits of lycanthropy, you mentioned that you and your wife can carry all the groceries in one trip. I think that’s definitely a positive that gets overlooked far too often and I commend you for speaking your truth, sir

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.
Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.
YES
also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old
everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.
which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.
there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.
getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

ID. Digital art of a screenprinted informative poster from Lumon, with a limited color palette of teal, deep navy, and red, printed on cream paper. Text on it reads:
Kier’s Four Tempers:
“In my life, I have identified four components, which I call tempers, from which are derived every human soul. Woe. Frolic. Dread. Malice. Each man’s character is defined by the precise ratio that resides in him. I walked into the cave of my own mind, and there I tamed them. Should you tame the tempers as I did mine, then the world shall become but your appendage. It is this great and consecrated power that I hope to pass on to all of you, my children.” -Kier Eagen.
Below the text is a grid of profiles of the MDR employees, one for each temper: Mark with a tear on his cheek, Dylan with a smile painted on his face with a splash of blood, Irv with the top of his head dissolving into black goo with the down arrow for the testing floor elevator superimposed, and Helly wide-eyed with the noose around her neck.
Only on Tumblr you can post “Please stop being a dick to ace and aro people.” and instantly get the reaction “THAT’S APHOBIC”. You cannot make this shit up.
they planted berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, herbs, all sorts. they label each plant and the sign said “free to take, leave some for others to enjoy!”
and people did. they took a bit, but left some for others.
it also fed the homeless people living around there.
bearing in mind this is a tourist town, so i half expected to see the plants gone. but nope, there’s always some left.
people aren’t naturally selfish, and they will share. the initiative works
And honestly? Most people who don’t need it won’t bother to stop and pick fruit. It’s only people who actually need it who will devote the time. People with money still have grocery stores.
[Image description: tweet by Black Botanist @CreativeTiana: transcript follows]
I was talking to someone about planting food and fruit trees in public spaces and they were like “Why so everyone can steal the food?”
And I was like “See, that’s the problem right there. Why should taking food off a public tree be stealing?”
“Urban food forest” is something I’m hearing more and more. Do some poking around, there may be an opportunity to help with or start something like this near you.
There’s a recurring theme of a certain type of guy I witness in detractors of transandrophobia theory and I find them really strange.
They’re the kind of person who is like, “no, trans men are identical and equal to cis men and are basically the same as cis men and we have so much power and privilege because we are men, we don’t need special words or to talk about our problems because we are men, we should be using our powerful male voices to uplift those inferior weak women’s voices that I could totally get away with being hateful to because I’m a man but I don’t because I have so much power and I’m using it to protect feeble women”
And it’s like. Do you not see how misogynistic that is. Do you not see the toxic masculinity. Why do you feel so affirmed in your gender because you feel you have privilege and power. Why do you think in order to be a man you have to benefit from privilege.
men will never understand the feeling of waking up in the morning, staring at your ocean blue orbs in the mirror, pulling your long brunnette hair into a messy bun, and then finding out your abusive father sold you to one direction
