Life is hard. Don't be a dick.
very tired millennial | USA • Howdy! This is pretty out of date. My blog is a mess but you can usually expect me rambling in tags; bad text posts; shitty puns; science; occasional fan stuff; cute animals; wordplay, language & linguistics; heads-up PSAs re: tumblr bullshit (esp. updates/"improvements"); accessibility related posts & support for fellow spoonies; nature; intersectional feminism & queer stuff; important stuff; really cool puppers, etc. • I do *not* post jump scares, any flashing gifs that could trigger seizures, or any other such similar content. I don't post explicit content but I do sometimes reblog adult humor or puns; as such I have a "NSFW" tag as a precaution for anyone browsing at work, around kids/relatives, or in public. Very old posts (from before 2015/2016) may not always have tags, so if you encounter posts that need attention just PM me. • I tag most** all my posts for filtering, and I am (slowly) working on a tag masterlist.
(**mobile/app tumblr breaks things, else I'd say all posts) • :* (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ HAVE A GOOD DAY OK

Just so we’re all clear on where I stand: Black lives matter, trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are beautiful, asexual/aromantic folks have a place in the LGBTQ community, Queer is not a dirty word, and being “anti fascist” is a moral position, not a political one.
spiderman just left the pizza box on the roof but then came back a minute later and clearly felt bad for littering so now hes swinging through downtown holding an empty pizza box
"incurious" still GOAT insult. You could be better but you're not. You could learn but you won't, and for no good reason, just a base dispositional apathy. Get fucked
Last minute print for upcoming conventions, it’s a lifestyle.
They may see me as a weed, or a menace to society, but I’ll spread my hope far and wide and they'll never get rid of me✨forever growing out of the darkest of places. through the cracks and fissures.
#they really said “you can’t use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI that’s even less reliable”#and you can’t even opt out of it
no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)
you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results
there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around
Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.
