I'm wishing a very Happy Pride Month to all the queer people who:

are disabled

are chronically ill

can't celebrate for health reasons

disability gets in the way of their gender representation

disability got in the way of a relationship

don't have anyone to celebrate with

have homophobic caretakers

Happy Pride Month to all disabled queer people

“Why are you scared of dating” I’m not scared of dating, I just haven’t found anyone’s company to be more enjoyable than my own. And also I don’t care

[justlightmeonfire]

I just don't want anyone to steal my very cursed amulet

[teaboot]

Also the amulet

Is that you talking? Or the amulet? Are you SURE a new hand doesn't want to touch the beacon?

[teaboot]

The amulet and I are not currently looking for a third

[madeofklay]

What does the phrase "a hot minute" mean in your dialect

A short time

A long time

Something else?

I am not familiar with that phrase (results)

I think it’s actually essential as elective GLP1 companies continue to glamorize malnourishment that I never shut up about being a girl who eats and loves food and enjoys food and enjoys being FULL and satisfied and satiated

I am a human being who enjoys carbs and sugars and grease and fat and salt and big portions because my prehistoric ancestors LIVED by it and put those cravings into my genes

[sandersstudies]

Went out and got the most DELECTABLE flautas today my friends. Everyone (but ESPECIALLY girls, women, and fems) tell me your most recent incredible food experience, or a food experience you are looking forward to.

Sometimes I really want to take everyone under the age of 24 (as of 2026) by the shoulders and say:

"I'm really sorry that lockdown and the ongoing pandemic interrupted pivotal educational and social/emotional development moments for you. You have an uphill battle towards adjusting to a lot of community based efforts because you experienced a mass trauma during an incredibly important time in your life where you should have physically been around your peers learning to engage in shared community. There is no "but" here, I'm genuinely really sorry. Something many of us consider key points in our interpersonal growth as youths was taken from you, not without reason but without care for its impact on you. I hope you know we are eternally allies in our struggles and if that is something you struggle to know I hope you can learn it someday."

Because so many of the angriest, most disenfranchised people I see on this website are under 24 and I often try to put younger people's behavior in the context of where they might have been 2020. I've seen the impact on my siblings and their peers+friends first hand, all ages 18-24. We've talked about how its impacted them, the isolation, the attachment to the internet, the anxieties and phobias and fears it developed in them due to the pandemic, the political unrest, and the responses to both that we've seen since. I know they're not the only ones and I know how much being marginalized also influences that impact too.

It's terrifying. I know it must be terrifying for a lot of the young people on Tumblr too. I hope one day we're able to bridge all of those complex feelings into something collective and positive so we can do our best to prevent similar traumas from happening to future generations.

i love you ilya rozanov herding shane like cattle. i love you ilya rozanov circling shane like prey. i love you ilya rozanov backing him into walls and on top of counters and carrying him to the bed and guiding him to his knees and yanking him around by the chin and getting right in his face and shoving him onto the bed and straddling him and holding him down by the wrists. go where i tell you. hands where i put them. eyes on me.

“censorship is a blight” and “tag your posts properly” are two statements that can and do coexist

Original post is gone so hanging this on my wall

[intactics-deactivated20211231]

I am asking you to endure it.

[intactics-deactivated20211231]

a lot of Gregory Berrycones in the notes missing the reference to my twelve note magnum opus from several hours prior in which the narrator silently begs an entity that isn't really God for death and the entity says no

[intactics-deactivated20211231]

the narrator is operating under the constraint that they can only use words "god" has already spoken, "god" is aware of this and says the 'Time flies' sentence on purpose in order to give the narrator the pieces they need to voice their complaint; "god" has constant access to the narrator's thoughts, and answers them as though they're having a conversation between equals, but clearly absolutely dictates the terms under which the narrator can speak. it becomes obvious as the scene continues that the narrator is silently screaming and that the request being denied may be a request for death, but is at minimum a request for some acute suffering to be stopped

this could be an interaction between a normal person and an evil telepath with some mind control ability pretending to be the voice of a benevolent god. or it could work as a demon lord speaking to a soul they've trapped in a mirror and keep at their side. or it could be an actual god trying to calm down their only believer because they're trapped in the same prison. the concept amused me so kindly forgive the ugliness of the execution

[intactics-deactivated20211231]

I can assure you that the references to Christianity were deliberate. "Narrow is the strait" is a quote from the KJV bible; the narrator is capable of speaking directly in scripture, as long as they have the borrowed bits of language to stitch together, but "God" does not.

[itsraining-somewhereelse]

[id: three images of text. The first reads:

“god: Yes, you have been given a life in which none of your suffering will ever be meaningful or justified. I am asking you to endure it anyway.

me:

god: We both know that you know that I only speak in silences.

me:

god: A thousand faces, all of them Mine.

me: [A thousand faces, [none] of them Mine.]

god: Beloved.

me:

god: I am asking you to endure it.

me:

god: You did not always live inside this mirror. You will not always be here, suffering.

me:

god: You understand what will happen to you if I look away, don't you? If I blink? I have had to watch every mean and sordid instant of your life, bound within these chains of ardent love. Although you beg me, curse me, and hate me, I will not look away from you. This was the choice I made on your behalf, not My own.

me:

god: No. But I'm close enough to your idea of the real thing that that shouldn't matter.

me:

god: Time flies straight like an arrow, which is to say it doesn't.

me: [N][arrow][is][the][strai][T][.]

god: I gave you language. You ate the fruit. You will not persuade me not to stay my hand.

me: [I am asking [You] [h][ow] to endure it.]

god: On the strength of My having asked it of you.

me: [I am asking [not] to endure it.]

god: Scio, sweetheart.”

The next two images are tumblr tags. They read:

#this is kinda beautiful tho #makes me think about how like. i absolutely cannot believe that any deity is all powerful AND benevolent and all knowing #which the abrahamic god is supposed to be #and I hate when people are like ‘its all part of gods plan' or the "secular" 'everything happens for a reason #bc like. nothing could ever ever justify the horrific shit people have gone thru #i havent even been thru that much but nothing could ever justify the pain i /have/ gone through #and idk this piece is just. very religious. bc idk if op did it on purpose but that whole thing?? is a HUGE part of christianity!

#the idea that the world is hard and god made it hard and gave you faith to endure the hardships #so framing it as a conversation one where the human cannot speak first is really really interesting and powerful #for people that do truly believe in an omniscient omnipresent god #is there even a choice in that worship? #is it a 'choice' if your choices are a. get thru life believing your hardships are worth it vs b. go thru life thinking it sucks w/o comfort #its like, asking if there is a choice between staying with an abuser vs living on the streets and going hungry

#its a 'choice' with no good answer and no right answer. #and like. theres the whole thing with the christian god of like. 'i love you more than you could ever possibly #understand and i see your hardships and your joys and i know life is hard but i made u bc i love u' #and i dont solve your hardships because i love you and your faith in me should be enough' #and its like. bruh. thats just abusive. its not a real love if the person has the power to stop your pain and chooses not to.”]
