US Book ban on LGBTQIA books

The Nationwide Book Ban Bill Moves to the House: How to Take Action Now

The nationwide book ban bill, HR 7661, has progressed out of committee and into the House. Here's what you need to know to take action.

At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.

Stop the bill dead in its tracks. LGBTQIA people have a right to be represented in books.

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

everyone's heard of this, right? per ap article of apr 8, 2026:

Jacobs went on to record more than 10,000 concerts, with increasingly sophisticated equipment, over four decades in Chicago and other cities. Now a group of devoted volunteers in the U.S. and Europe is methodically cataloging, digitizing and uploading them one by one. The growing Aadam Jacobs Collection [link to internet archive] is an internet treasure trove for music lovers, especially for fans of indie and punk rock during the 1980s through the early 2000s, when the scene blossomed and became mainstream. The collection features early-in-their-career performances from alternative and experimental artists like R.E.M., The Cure, The Pixies, The Replacements, Depeche Mode, Stereolab, Sonic Youth and Björk.

Someone asked why I bothered to bash Trump on social media

[just-a-skinny-boy]

I can’t decide what’s funnier, the dog, or the guy that’s dying of laughter in the background

[chaseketchum]

Oh my god please watch this I swear it is the best laugh you will ever have ever

[johncenasmixtape]

I love that the dog is just like ‘the people are being very weird but I’m getting a whole jar of peanut butter out of this, so it’s fine by me’

I’ve noticed some posts around about how you can’t romanticize your life during a fascist regime and while I deeply sympathize with this sentiment, I want you to try to understand that’s what they want you to believe.

Fascism thrives best in the cesspool of hopelessness. They want us so confused and hopeless that we give in. When you give in, you don’t fight back.

If you wait for life to look good to do the things that bring you joy; life will still be bad - you will just have less joy.

As someone who has struggled with my mental health a lot for the last thirty years, I know this struggle firsthand. And changing this belief system - the one where you spend all of your time expecting bad things so you won’t be surprised when they happen - it’s the hardest work that I have ever done. And I’m not perfect; I still have setbacks. I still experience really real fears about the state of the world and the US, in particular, because that’s where I live.

But I made a vow to myself that I will not let the choices of others ruin my life. When I made that vow, I was thinking of my parents - but it applies to the state of the government right now, too.

There are still flowers in my garden, and ripe tomatoes, and it’s almost pick-your-own apples season, and I have plans with my friends to go to as many cemetery ghost walks as we can find this October.

I still deserve to live. I still deserve to laugh. I still deserve to love. I still deserve to be as happy as I can be.

And you do, too.

Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity

[deathbyotpin123]

The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.

Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.

[charlesoberonn]

I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.

[grifalinas]

I like the use of Metroman here because if there's one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it's that we want everyone to think we're dead

wish we were still on Tumblr instead of the void

[pygmalions-selfportrait]

reasons i stay on tumblr dot com

offers a variety of post types

desktop browser accessible

customizable features for those inclined

is famously difficult to monetize, so people here post for the love of the game

in fact, the ads are often so hilariously bad i’ve thought some were shitposts and have tried to reblog them

no shop feature that encourages random people to become advertisements, leading to 60% of posts becoming a shill for landfillslop

has never asked me for my contacts

has never asked me to turn on location services

is not subject to the liquid panopticon of turning neighbor against neighbor (e.g republican kirk witchhunt)

large amount of text based posts that can allow for nuance and discussion

the unique and organic community that is here. tiktok tried to recreate goncharov and it sucked and was just some girl’s attention promo. the years long inside jokes. the site-specific holidays. dracula daily and jokes about classic lit.

the rejection of infantilizing, self censoring euphemisms like unalive or grape

seeing the posts from people i follow in chronological order

nobody i know to see me engage in “cringe” interests

et cetera et cetera

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

Also, I feel like we do have “tumblr personalities”? People like @prokopetz, @gallusrostromegalus, @hellenhighwater, or @kaity--did who enthrall many of us with their musings and stories?

They’re just… not monetizing it or trading on their fame or making a big name for themselves in the outside world. You’re not going to see them on the “internet celebrity” edition of Worst Cooks in America or anything. But they very much are notable people on this site.

This isn’t the place to chase clout or fame. It’s the place to have fun.

And it’s the last bastion of algorithm free social media.

[kaity--did]

Lmao the idea of me being an "internet celebrity" actually makes laugh so hard I peed a little 😂😂😂😂
