my manager just asked me what my hobbies are outside of work and i cannot accurately describe how surreal it was. it was like being asked by the guy who locked you in the dungeon if you used to do anything fun before they locked you in the dungeon.
she also asked me by saying “do you… do anything?” which. HOW are you supposed to respond to that.
i was tempted to tell her that i just go home and stare at my bedroom wall in silence until its time for my next shift but the thing is i think she would have believed me
in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don’t make small talk, dont act friendly, don’t fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you’re affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!
Just so like… it’s clear… anyone who censors words that contain “man” or “men” to anything like “xxn” that’s TERF shit.
Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or “womb” is TERF shit.
Any sentence where the OP says they support people being “trans identified” with quotes around “"transwomen”“ or ”“transmen”“ is TERF shit.
I’m seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.
"Wombxxn” is an incredibly dumb way of spelling “woman” that treats the word “man” like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.
“Trans identified” is their way of saying “this person calls themselves trans, but I don’t believe they are.”
Saying “People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children” IS TERF SHIT.
Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it’s fucking dangerous to our community.
Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.
sorry i can’t come in to work today. yeah sorry they killed me off last night. yeah i just wasn’t relevant to the plot anymore. i should be in tomorrow but i’ll let you know.
Apparently there was some kind of race scheduled at a local park or something so I’ve been trying to avoid the main trail but a little while ago when I had to cross near it I overheard the following shouted exchange
Higher feminine voice: woo, look at you go! You’re jogging! Keep it up!
Lower masculine voice (panting): you know it! Last place is still a place, baby!
And goddamn if that didn’t rewire my brain a little bit.
Last place is still a place, baby.
I know of a trail racing company that gives the slowest racer who finishes every race a DFL award: Dead Fucking Last. I was a little taken aback by this until I had it explained to me that those last-place finishers are pretty much uniformly people for whom finishing at all was an accomplishment: people undergoing cancer treatments, absolute beginners, runners in their eighties, extremely pregnant people, you get the idea. Moreover, what you see as this person crosses the finish line is all these sporty trail racers, many of whom finished the race literal hours earlier, cheering their hearts out because they respect that, yes, DFL is still a place, baby.
Whoever invented “open in app” links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair
I uninstalled SoundCloud because even though I already had the app, every SoundCloud link I clicked directed me to the app store. Fuck you if you do this.
Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but
Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the ‘standard’ sense?
Like, everyone I talk to who’s over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just… dont.
Nah, I definitely did wild dumb shit in my teens and 20s. Mostly it was vast quantities of questionable street acid, but that led to other things.
taylor swift’s work wouldn’t be nearly as insufferable if she wasn’t constantly trying to present herself as some sort of tortured underdog. like, okay, she has endured hardships, and a lot of people, especially white men, are shitty towards her for purely misogynistic reasons. that sucks, i agree. but she’s never been an underdog before. she was born to well-off parents who did everything they could to start her music career when she was barely even a teenager, an opportunity that lots of people would kill for. now she’s extremely famous and wealthy, and everything she releases is destined to sell millions of copies and receive glowing reviews in nearly every publication. she is not an underdog, and i have trouble believing she’s particularly “tortured.” she’s not even an alcoholic, despite claiming to be one on the opening track of her new album! people like to defend her lyrics by saying she’s just playing a character, which i don’t believe for a second, but even if she was, i don’t think i want to listen to someone like swift play the character of a tortured underdog, not when there’s so many musicians out there who are actually tortured underdogs. it comes across as hollow. “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me,” sung by one of the wealthiest, most famous, most critically acclaimed musicians in the world, who was born to loving parents who personally helped her start her career, who once said she’d never been to therapy because she “just feels very sane.” if you’re going to play a character, maybe pick one who we’re not supposed to pity.
Well deserved, Peppa. You had a lot to overcome, what with being br*tish and all
This is my only auditory sensory overload problem. I don’t mind buzzing or humming or the simple volume of sounds. But I cannot have other voices nearby if I’m trying to have a conversation. I WILL attempt to process all of it, I WILL fail miserably, and I WILL forget everything. I think it’s why I like going to concerts alone, cuz I can just focus on the music and forget that for most people, concerts are part art appreciation and part social event. Makes it hard to fully let loose and Get Weird on the dancefloor.
I’m firmly in the “sage smells best” camp, but now knowing I can have an unlimited source of scorpions, I might have to change my tune. If only for purely utilitarian reasons
This is the opposite of those “oddly satisfying images”
it’s funny and all but it’s also an example of how corporations will cheat people in every single possible way they are legally able to get away with if there isn’t any system of regulation to protect consumers.
Shout-out to the autistics who crave hugs. Shout-out to the autistics whose love language is touch.
And shout-out to the autistics who were denied a timely diagnosis because a misinformed professional thought you were “too affectionate” to be autistic.
You aren’t any less autistic because of how you show affection. And you aren’t nearly as rare as pop culture and outdated research would imply.
I don’t want a weighted blanket I want to be enveloped by the warm embrace of my seven foot tall Martian waifu
I need this guy to understand that I Don’t Forgive Him, and that he’s Going To Hell
I need him to understand that because of him, pop-up blockers were invented, and because of that, other, more intrusive and less escapable forms of advertising were also invented, until I need to run a whole separate app on my phone to block ads because nothing else fucking works and the app goes full scorched earth on some websites because they use tracking cookies as product images to surveil what we click on and what we buy so without those tracking images the site doesn’t work at all. This is also a problem for video ads on Tumblr, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay to avoid seeing another ad for Taylor Swift. Fuck you, sir. Fuck you and the horse that will hopefully make Mr. Hands look like My Little Pony. I legitimately hope you die horrifically. You have made the Internet measurably less useful, less helpful, less intuitive, and generally a worse place to be. I hate you.
I like that people included male rape victims as well! This is a good post

You ever think about how in Socialist Bolivia they get these gorgeous Neo Andean buildings with these beautiful bright colors and bold forms, meanwhile in the capitalist world we get Frank Gehry, who’s buildings appear hostile to human life and sanity and generally look like if skyscrapers had tumors and they tried to make those tumors into real buildings; and who’s attempt at a “brain health center” would probably turn you into the fucking Joker if you went there?
…I’m actually not joking about that last one, look at it:
It’s like if they gentrified a fucking Psychonauts level…
official usps sent me a letter including a guide with a handwritten note asking me to switch the sizes of my patreon envalopes (envalopes that i bought from the local post office)
shoutout to usps worker Nixie who I guess took it upon themselves to send me this cause they were sick of my envalopes getting caught in the machine or something idk
I love learning about the inner workings of usps-CAUGHT FIRE??

*reading graduation speech* And to all the people who said I was gay. well, guess what. Now I really am gay. So the jokes on you. And you have to live with that.
YALL I PROMISE I HAVE FOOD FOR YALL. JUST LET ME COOK. IVE BEEN PREOCCUPIED PLAYING A DIFFERENT GAME LMAO. Anyway. This little thing won’t be what you think. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s not going to be it. (This one took me an hour and a half. It was supposed to be silly and small, but now it’s silly and big. Why.)
As a nonbinary person it feels uncomfortable when strangers perceive my partner and I as a straight couple,
But it’s hilarious to me when they perceive us as father and son.
“Does he have his own luggage?” the agent behind the check-in desk asks brightly, making eye contact with my partner.
“Just carry-on,” I say as I slide my driver’s license across the counter toward her. Confusion dawns on her face. She glances up at me briefly before printing my boarding pass in silence.
“A soap making booth!” I exclaim. I’ve been to the renaissance faire a dozen times but I’ve never visited this shop. “Let’s make soap!”
“First you have to ask your Responsible Adult for five dollars,” says the vendor in a measured, singsong voice, and wags her index finger at me.
I look around, confused. Who is she talking about? Does she mean the young man trailing behind me? I turn back to her.
“I have five dollars …”
“Well you still have to ask him,” she smiles sweetly.
As I open my mouth to ask why, I suddenly realize she has misjudged my age by at least two decades.
“I’m older than he is,” is all I can think of to say.
“Would you like a children’s menu?”
“Sure, and if you’re taking drink orders, I could also go for a Corona.”
Hey op?
HOW???
I’m short
This is like that tiktok about the grown woman accidentally being kidnapped by a middle school bus driver lol
So glad I have tits so this can’t happen to me 🙏 because I KNOW if I was flat chested, this would be me, but THANK GOD, I get to at least look 16
VTA AU LESHY AND MIYU (YELLOW CAT) DESIGNS! (+ DOODLES)
Boy oh boy!!! Leshycat be upon ye!!! While Narilamb is the focus of this au there WILL be a couple side-stories that focus on the little adventures of different characters, Leshy and Miyu being one of those cases.
But omg! Look at them!!!
(Pssss their color palettes compliment each other—WHO SAID THAT)
Ya’ll already know who Leshy is so I will be skipping his introduction, so meet Miyu! Likely the Cult’s best farmer who definitely doesn’t sleep a healthy amount of hours every night and totally not works overtime at the farm to avoid said activity! They were rescued along with their two little siblings after the farm they lived in was attacked by heretics, fanatics of a certain ex-god of chaos, which got Miyu to grow quite scared and resentful towards said god. The problem? They interact with him everyday…oh but don’t worry, it’s not like they know it’s him, so it should be fine, right?
New discourse: it’s actually predatory to date someone with a different star sign than you, because the differences in your personalities means you’ll never be able to have exactly the same life experiences, thus leaving a knowledge and power gap between the two of you which will inevitably lead to an abusive relationship!
also if you’re a Sag and you’re dating a Taurus, that means you’re secretly seeking a May-December relationship, which is age gap coded!
Also, humanoid signs like Aquarius, Gemini, and Virgo absolutely cannot date animal signs. That is interspecies erotica codedfuckoand animals CANNOT CONSENT.
Aries, Capricorn and Taurus dating each other make me sick, they’re all bovidae it’s so obviously incest I– 🤢
This post is addressed to the Palestinians in Ghazzah following me. If someone is asking you to send them money to put your fundraiser on their website or whatever and telling you you won’t have your fundraiser succeed otherwise, do not listen to him he is scamming you or lying to you.
Everything I’ve done on this blog has been to help people. I do not charge anyone money EVER. I don’t even ask my other followers to send me any cash. DO NOT LISTEN TO SOMEONE ASKING YOU FOR MONEY.
So if this piece of garbage wasn’t having success contacting people pretending to be Palestinian he is now contacting Palestinians in Ghazzah to prey on them. I have no words to describe this evil anymore. Go block and report this user for phishing:
