be queer, strike fear @coldstrolls - Tumblr Blog

Well, see you, friends

https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/

Internal documents obtained by 404 Media show that Tumblr staff compiled users' data as part of a deal with Midjourney and OpenAI.

Don't go after staff members because of this, for what I know they weren't even informed until later in the process. You know who this comes from.

this is a drastic betrayal of user trust

That's an understatement. It's treason, and they know it. The fact they haven't announced it, that even within the company this had been handled mostly in secret? Bad people doing bad things

Well, seems like time to move out of here... ¯\_₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎_/¯

This blog was supposed to be a personal blog to reblog whatever my hyperfixation was. I shared my stories and kept them in an archive, in hopes of finding other people who enjoyed similar hobbies ( ˶⸝❛ᗜ❛ ̆ )"⸝

I've been working hard to live like a regular person (pay rent, try to study something, gather savings, not starve) and focus on myself (go to the doctor, therapy, and self-reflection) it's been very hard to balance everything at my age tbh (¨•.¸꒰๑ ᷄ω ᷅꒱)I have hope to publish a book I've been working on eventually, so that's too (>°﹑°< ``) and the tiny ''business'' I've been doing with my family has been a lot of work but little profit still... (sorry for the long rant)

I have plans to delete most, if not all, of my stories and move them to my AO3 account, leaving it mostly as a personal account as there are still a lot of great artists and friends I follow here (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ

You can still find me in my AO3 here there's also my Twitter account on my profile but I mostly have my mental crisis over there ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

It was good to be here, leaving with great and wonderful memories too, and I leave with great friends too ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝) I hope I can come back when all the AI drama is finally over and it becomes a safe place for everyone ♡(ﾐ ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣ ﻌ ᵕ̣̣̣̣̣̣ ﾐ)ﾉ

PS. If you know of other platforms to join and read/publish work, please let me know (〃´▽`〃)

∧,,,∧ ( ̳• · • ̳) / づ♡ Thanks a lot and lots of love. You were a wonderful person to meet~

#damn this is rly sad. i just got back into tumblr. i prob will faze out of using this hellsite when i get back to working. samn #damn #tumblr #psa

it would kill half of this site to understand that kids start jerking off and looking at porn the moment they hit puberty and get any kind of sex drive.

w-what do you mean kids arent sexless and pure beings??? i-i thought sexual thoughts only appear when you're 18.... or, no, 21......

irredeemablemonster

i saw smth along the lines of "minors shouldn't see porn, their brains are developing!!!"

this argument only makes sense if you

1. dont understand how any of human biology works

2. think of porn, depiction of the sexual act, as containing the primordial fucking sin, something that corrupts the minds of anyone looking at it

deeply fascist shit

magicalgirlbait

i need people to understand the fact that the stigma surrounding being a child looking at porn was the very first step into terrifying me into being unable to speak about the sexual violence i endured, which in turn allowed for it to continue happening.

I've hired a lot of felons and some have been amazing and some have been terrible. But basically at the same ratio as non-felon employees.

The one notable difference is that the two times I had to fire felons, they were actually like "Yeah, you gotta fire me for that. I get it. Thank you for the opportunity."

“Why are people dropping they/them from profiles” “a lot of people have stopped being nonbinary” “i feel like a lot of people i knew who were nonbinary identify differently suddenly” its the violent exorsexism in larger society and within queer communities that happens like clockwork when there is a rise in anti-queer, anti-trans bigotry.

When fascism spikes, we get a two-fold where folks who cannot or will not assimilate are pushed by our oppressors to reconsider, and fellow queer/trans folks become some of the most aggressive enforcers of that “choice” in an attempt to buy safety within the majority.

This shit is why inter-community discourse is not just petty complaints—the refusal to hold solidarity with the weirdest, loudest, most visible queers in our midst is fascist as well as self-destructive. People are being forced into the closet, forced into labels that make others—including queer and trans people—more comfortable, because comfort and conformity becomes the biggest priority for many when shit hits the fan. And these are the scenarios that dont end up with nonbinary people dead.

You are abandoning the most vulnerable while preaching about privileges, and this saboteur mentality will not even ultimately save you when eventually you are either forced to learn that you do not fit how you thought you did or our oppressors shift the goalposts until even your presentation of sexuality and gender are not “normal” enough anymore.

#i recently learned that my local community dropped me cuz i was too mentally ill #the more someone talks the less work they are willing to do. always remember this.

I don’t know if this is an obvious take or a hot take, but I think people need to start re-framing feminism as the fight for body autonomy as opposed to whatever this second wave revival gender essentialist bullshit we have going on right now. Once you reframe it in this way, it’s easier to understand intersectionality and why cis women are not the only people who need feminism. The lack of body autonomy effects cis women, trans people, intersex people, disabled people, poc, homeless people, sex workers, etc. and your feminism needs to include and prioritise all of these groups of people (which will include men btw) because feminism is about autonomy, not about establishing a matriarchy. Body autonomy is the biggest threat to the patriarchy, both with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and even the right to not be drafted into military services. Once body autonomy is established for everyone, the patriarchy no longer has a leg to stand on.

And body autonomy does include things that you don’t personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with “I don’t think it’s conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when we’ve seen images of women being abused in this way” because I do actually think you’ve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didn’t like or that made you uncomfortable.

Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.

TERFs are some of the biggest opponents to body autonomy, and if you find yourself thinking “oh people can do whatever they want with their bodies as long as it doesn’t harm them or make others uncomfortable” then you are far more susceptible to TERF propaganda than you think.

There are only around 1,500 native Cherokee speakers left, and most of them are elders

Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.

This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.

I recommend checking out the little cherokee seeds facebook page!!

Little Cherokee Seeds is fundraising for a new program for the children ages 3 - 6 to continue their journeys as first language Cherokee speakers!

Donate here to help Wegi and the other Cherokee Sprouts grow!

"Do you really think that even if you went back in time to kill columbus, you'd still be alive today 🤨" no cunt and why the fuck would I wanna be.

When it comes to chronic illnesses, mental illnesses, and disabilities, I've noticed that a lot of able-bodied people either don't take names seriously, or don't understand and ask you to explain what it is to them.

Now, if you have any kind of disability, you know it's fucking annoying go have people make you explain something over and over again, or have people go "oh, you have X? You mean, like the [awful stereotype] thing?"

So, I have realized recently that being Vague As Shit is great for making people leave you the hell alone.

I have autism and anxiety, and with that comes the symptom of selective mutism. If you don't know what that is, Firefox is free. But I had an episode where I couldn't speak today in one of my classes, and knew I would have to explain it to my partner and probably my professor.

This usually goes with me writing that I can't speak, them asking why, me saying selective mutism, and them asking me what that is. Then I have to painstakingly write out an explanation. And, obviously, I'm tired of this. So I tried something new. When he asked, I simply told him I couldn't speak, and when he asked if I physically couldn't or just didn't want to, I just opened my mouth and unleashed the terrifying, awful, broken stuttering that comes out when I try to speak while mute.

His response was "OKAY OKAY OKAY YOU CAN STOP NOW" and he did not question me for the rest of class, and even explained to the professor what was wrong when she tried to make me popcorn read.

This also works on doctors. When I tell doctors I have PCOS, POTS, or hEDS, they usually hear "oh the crazy women self diagnosis disabilities" and treat me accordingly. So, instead I drop unhinged symptoms until they leave me alone.

"Yes, my last menstrual cycle started on December 12th, 2025 and ended January 28th, 2026." "I have experienced several events where I have passed out randomly, yes." "My hip has subluxated six times in the past week."

It's like in the principles of writing horror. If you name and describe the problem, it's easier for people to minimize and ignore. Don't let them. You live with this fucking bullshit every day. Let your symptoms haunt people. They don't need to know everything about you. Besides, it makes them treat you better than when you give them names.

#PSA #this is why my whole life ive been against labels which “make it easier to communicate” bc we fail to communicate when its thru a label #we live ina disgusting society dont give nobody no chance to imagine anything different from reality
