Maybe not the norm, Benz & Chang
Just realized I've never posted this one wtf
Imagine a bee rn in a hive muttering "the beekeeper is not real because he is not intervening or helping me at all with this disastrous relationship I have with another bee". now imagine that's you talking about the good lord. now imagine a dog with a propeller hat on
Filing this in my memory right next to this thread:
is anyone imagining a dog with a propeller hat on
i want all my friends and followers and mutuals and acquaintances to know from the bottom of my heart: i donât respond to your messages because iâm an insane person, i am insane medieval hermit software running inappropriately on modern queer hardware and social media scares me. it is not your fault
when i get a notifications on my phone i try to kill my phone with a rock
hello beloveds âșïž
made an alternate version for the mutuals ive never spoken to
You are appreciated

hello fellow non-Black tumblr users. welcome to my saw trap. if you'd like to leave, please name one (1) Black woman author who is not Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Octavia Butler, or N.K. Jemisin. bonus points if she's published a book in the last five years.
For my own future reference, and for anyone else who wants it, a list of authors mentioned in the notes. (I cannot promise this is comprehensive, there are a lot of reblogs and I might have missed some.) I've included a link for each author, where possible I've tried to find one that leads you to their books, prioritising own websites/publishers, falling back on wikipedia otherwise.
If you find any mistakes in the links let me know and I'll edit. This post will be in two parts, because I literally broke tumblr with how many authors there were. I think it's about a hundred and fifty.

Hell yeah!!!
here's a bunch of spongebob titlecards i hoarded
You, every night.
a lot of behaviors that get attributed to "female socialization" can be so much more easily and accurately understood as a person recognizing the power differential surrounding them and behaving sensibly in response to that.
like. does a woman politely listen to a man monologue at her because of some experience she had when she was twelve that magically cursed her to behave that way forever, or does she do it because the man has the power to hurt her and she knows it?
does a woman do all the dishes in her household because she is less capable of breaking out of a long-ago conditioned response than, like, your average trained dog, or is she doing that because she knows that all the men in the house will blame her if she doesnt and will make life worse for her if she speaks up?
maybe a lot of sexist patterns of behavior that are widely observed in society arent caused by women like, lacking willpower or backbone? maybe it is super fucking weird for supposedly feminist movements to imply this is the case when they talk about female socialization as the end all, be all of predicting human behavior?
isnt it both more useful and more respectful toward women to consider that they are perceiving their present circumstances accurately, and recognize when power is already being wielded against them, and take logical measures to deescalate and protect themselves because it works? is it not fucking clear to everybody that trans women in particular have to do this all the fucking time?
I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.
Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.
Steps to Write a Genuine Platonic Relationship
1. Establish the Foundation
Define Their Connection: Decide what brings these characters togetherâshared history, common interests, or a deep emotional understanding.
Set Boundaries: Clarify from the start that their relationship is non-romantic, avoiding any lingering tension that could be misread as attraction.
Give Them Complementary Strengths: Show how they support and challenge each other without romantic implications, emphasizing mutual respect.
2. Shape Their Role in the Story
Decide Their Impact: Determine how their bond influences the plotâdo they solve problems together, serve as each otherâs moral compass, or push each other toward growth?
Avoid Romantic Clichés: Refrain from using traditional romantic tropes like longing glances, accidental physical tension, or excessive jealousy.
Show Their Value Beyond Love: Let their relationship be crucial to the story in a way that isnât reliant on romance or tension.
3. Build Their Dynamic
Use Natural Banter: Let them have inside jokes, tease each other, or share moments of camaraderie without any romantic undertones.
Create Moments of Deep Understanding: Show how they confide in one another in ways they wouldnât with others, reinforcing their trust and emotional closeness.
Let Them Have Other Romantic Interests: This solidifies that their bond isnât about unspoken attraction, making it clear that romance isnât lurking in the background.
4. Define Their Chemistry
Make Their Interactions Unique: Ensure they have a specific energy that distinguishes their bond from romantic connections in the story.
Emphasize Loyalty Over Possessiveness: They can care deeply about each other without feelings of possessiveness or unresolved tension.
Show Physical Comfort Without Romance: Casual, platonic touch like a ruffling of hair, a side hug, or a reassuring pat on the back can reinforce their connection without romantic connotations.
5. Demonstrate Their Impact on Each Other
Let Them Grow Together: Show how they influence each otherâs decisions, ambitions, or emotional development without needing romance as a motivator.
Create High-Stakes Moments: Put them in situations where they rely on each other, proving their bond is just as deep as any romantic relationship.
Allow Conflicts Without Romantic Resolution: If they fight, let their reconciliation stem from their friendship and values rather than an underlying romantic interest.
6. Develop a Satisfying Arc
Decide Their Long-Term Dynamic: Whether they remain lifelong friends, drift apart naturally, or take different paths, ensure their bond leaves a lasting impact.
Showcase Their Relationshipâs Meaning: Highlight how their connection was vital to their growth, reinforcing the importance of strong, platonic love.
Avoid Unnecessary Romantic Subtext: Let them stand as proof that deep, meaningful relationships donât need romance to be powerful.
Examples of Strong Platonic Relationships
1. Film/TV Examples
Frodo & Sam (The Lord of the Rings): A loyal, emotional bond built on trust and shared hardship.
Robin & Steve (Stranger Things): A brother-sister-like friendship that develops beyond a possible hetero-romance.
Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes (Captain America): Sibling-like love based on support, teasing, and mutual admiration.
2. Literature Examples
Duke the Guarder & Dawn Demiss (The Guardians of Camoria series): A deep friendship based on emotional intellect, trust, and shared insecurities.
Jo March & Laurie (Little Women, after rejection): A lifelong friendship that remains strong despite romantic expectations.
Harry Potter & Hermione Granger (Harry Potter series): A close friendship built on trust, emotional support, and respect without romantic tension.

Stop the OS from pulling up web results when you just want files and apps.
incase anyone didnt know there's some great free software to handle disabling windows bloatware without needing to mess with the command line
With the freeware O&O ShutUp10++, unwanted Windows 10 and 11 features can be disabled and the transfer of sensitive personal data onto Micro
O&O AppBuster gives you the control back over your Windows again! Now you decide which apps you want on your computer.
these are a mandatory part of every windows install for me. been using them for years and it's such a lifesaver
Because this has mostly been talked about with Windows 11, heads-up that this installed itself on every Windows 10 computer in our house with this week's update.
Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search termsÂ
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
â
Google is so powerful that it âhidesâ other search systems from us. We just donât know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
