scam alert!

thank you for sharing!

a psa to everyone that tumblr will never contact users by mentioning or tagging their urls like this. they will contact you only via email, from their official email address. and the only official blogs that are associated with tumblr are: @tumblr @support @staff @changes (they each have their official tumblr badges). any other blog claiming to be tumblr and tagging you, or replying to your comment, saying “your account is xyz and you have to do xyz to fix the issues” is a bot/scam.

Supporting autistic people also means realizing that they will at times be unintentionally rude or annoying, and giving them the benefit of the doubt

Chilling with your headmates is one of the best kinds of chilling to be doing

hey. if you want to actually change minds, don't be unkind to the people you're trying to convince. or you CAN but in most scenarios you'll alienate a potential ally. what matters more to you? taking your anger out on someone? or helping them actually understand the situation at hand?

[crabussy]

"wow you're fucking stupid OBVIOUSLY x isn't y. can you learn to read or something" <- changes no minds, the person you're talking to will struggle to agree with you because by extension they would have to agree that they're stupid for being wrong, total happiness for everyone involved is through the FLOOR. in the NEGATIVES. no one wins, even if you feel good in the moment.

[crabussy]

but....

"hey there, I understand that you're very passionate about this, but the most recent studies out there show that x isn't y. I just wanted to let you know, because you clearly care a lot about the subject!" <- I have seen this change minds firsthand, it's easier for the person to agree with you because they're not feeling defensive over an insult, and total happiness for everyone involved either stays the same or goes UP. everyone wins. if they're still being silly about it, at least you can walk away knowing that you tried. and often times, even if they show no change in the moment, that kind of interaction stays with people. they'll ruminate on it. you might have helped incite a later change of heart.

[crabussy]

all that being said, conserve your energy and efforts. if someone repeatedly shows that they have no intention of considering any of your words, disengage! walk away! you CAN change minds but you CAN'T change everyone. "is this a constructive use of my time?" is a question worth asking yourself when you catch yourself talking to someone who is attempting to animorph into a brick wall. patience and kindness are awesome weapons but you do have to pick your battles.

This is true for direct interactions, and one-on-one this is very important, but also remember that social media isn't actually one-on-one conversations, and that if you play it right, being aggressive can change minds in the silent audience in which there are many more people. The person you're talking directly to may be calcifying into stupidity, but the hundred people reading the thread will see how stupid they look as they calcify more. They will take notes if you talk shit and can back it up. Tumblr is one of the only websites where this effect isn't tracked with an easily visible number.

idk if this is an usamerican thing or not but it always blows my mind as a small european country resident that yall have many names and types of apples???? what do you mean its not just red yellow or green??? why is it so complicated??? who is granny smith????

[wordfather]

'whats your favorite apple' 'red' 'no i mean like what type' '??????' actual conversatiom i've had with a mutual from usa

[wordfather]

welcome to the icelandic apple selection. what color will you have

[wordfather]

okay so APPEARANTLY this is just an iceland thing? i looked it up and we dont grow apples here commercially. we get them imported and there's such few options that the stores rarely bother to name them. thats why, culturally, we just call them by colors.

i feel like we all learned something today. i learned that im hungry for apples with names and you learned that iceland is 3 apples tall. the world continues to surprise and enlighten

now i don’t know enough about omegaverse to say anything definitively but from what i have seen it certainly looks like it emulates insects much more than wolves.

[dykeferatu]

like if you’re looking for an animal with strictly defined castes and extensive use of pheromones you are looking for ants i think
