who needs a dad, anyway?
how your call finds me
people on here who have been on 10-15+ years like myself...i don't know how they claim that there were never any Black bloggers on here, or that it was always such a white website. trudy gradientlair was on here. thisiswhiteprivilege was on here. there was a feminist citation project sara ahmed was involved in on here. there was someone on here whose username was wretchedoftheearth and that was how i learned who fanon was when i was 12, by googling those words. tumblr was the only place i knew i could go to get accurate & compassionate info about what happened to trayvon martin, when everyone around me irl was rabidly racist. the amount of reportage and scholarship that happened on here before the first big wave of bans was so huge and so much has been lost. where were you when it was happening??? why weren't you paying attention??
Every time people speak about how all the "problematic" people left the site and went to Twitter, I simply presume whoever says it is racist. Everyone who wanted to try to discourage people from returning here when Twitter was overrun, I presume was antiblack. Twitter became unsafe and Black people STILL kept at it, because it was literally still more productive for them to do work there than it was to try doing it here.
There were folks here that I know elsewhere now who literally help save lives in their communities and have online safe spaces in other places that they were able to build and cultivate. Seeing Black people who became huge when they left here will always be my perception of Tumblr. It is a place that Black people started great work and were put out because the work wasn't valued by the white Tumblr population or was straight up sabotaged by them.
I FINALLY got back in touch with Cashawn, who was the first person who got "Black Girls are Magic" poppin. I hadn't been in touch with her for nearly a decade! Because she fucking left here. And there are a few, very few who tap in and see what's up over here every now and then. But a lot of them simply let Tumblr kick rocks and they were correct to do so.
And it was the central place, not just for Trayvon's story, but everyone's. When other sites were not giving information or giving construed information, there were so many boots on the ground activists who used THIS SITE to communicate their situations and tell you what was real. In fact, one of the main points of the purges were getting rid of activists who were using the site to keep others informed.
This WAS the site people came to for things, and then it had to become Twitter and there are still ignoramuses on here who chuckle "Twitter is having old convos from Tumblr lol" Twitter is having PRESENT convos that many of the same people who were having them on Tumblr had to go have them on Twitter instead, because Tumblr became unsafe for the work that they started here. Twitter is STILL having conversations that Black people have had to have in every space we occupy and are often run out of.
But, because Tumblr IS full of white people, their arrogance makes them think they are special and smart and revolutionary. They don't even know how much of the shit they say has been picked from the bones of something that Black people originally grew on Tumblr before they were deactivated or jumped ship.
oh boy i wish someone would notice my cries for help! [someone actually notices] noooo i'm fine don't worry about me
why are you so cool and awesome and smart
no puedo completar un crucigrama fácil en español bro
would i be allowed to use the ch3 prediction post as my discord banner with credit. it is living in my mind. thank you for your time
go right ahead lol
telesphore's completely honest with himself and basically neutral about how big he is. but I think eisen's more like mac from always sunny when he started getting fat. like 'no this isn't a beer gut I'm cultivating mass.'
Hey what did you mean by this
hyperfixation reactivation is kind of a life of luxury reference
stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

hi
guyssss ehehehe
is that a sandwich in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
you’d better not be old man meet-cute when i get there!
me:
obligatory modern uni dormmates au for kingmaker but it's artifeast as that one tiktok that's like "KAYLEE. KAYLEE. KAYLEE. IT STINKS IN HERE GIRL. NO YOU NEED TO STOP. KAYLEE. KAYLEE. KAYLEE" because telesphore can't stop making gourmet meals in his and eisen's dorm. and it's enemies to lovers
the funny thing about this post is it could work both ways because I also feel like Eisen would constantly be soldering metal and spraying fixatives and shit in the living room.
#imagining eisen being like “well the prick's always frying onions at fuck all in the night”#before working on a project with minimal safety on the floor bc the adhd hit too far away from the engineering lab#its ok its not dangerous though bc he's a genius#artifeast#eisen iyer#telesphore winterlich#the kingmaker histories
THESE TAGS ARE INCREDIBLE.
episode 32: telesphore learns the word “eepy” and won’t stop pissing eisen off by slipping it into every sentence for a whole day.

and while i’m here here’s my playlist for him :D
