the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

[angelicgarnet]

and people are like "its just jokes its not that deep" but when you have people on tiktok convincing teenagers that having music in your head is a sign of autism or saying their nephew is autistic because he talks about minecraft all the time it doesn't feel like a joke it just feels trivializing

okay you werent supposed to know that

[genderkoolaid]

seriously yall gotta stop being so hostile to tiktok. like it or not it is a part of culture and society. people use it for the same reasons YOU are using tumblr. why are yall so eager to villianize queer creators, creators of color, kinky creators, etc. who ACTUALLY USE THE APP and are forced to censor themselves??? like i am sure many of them would like to use big boy words. imagine if people on tiktok started making videos like ohhh did you know people on tumblr don't even need to avoid sexual images theyre just prudes just post girldick nothing will happen to you stupid!!!!!!

y'know this might actually be my time to finally say this out loud:

i don't have a problem with tiktok users. they seem like decent people and good kids. people who probably could thrive on tumblr, but like tumblr, there's something souring the deal. i don't like the deliberate tactics tiktok uses inherently within the app's design.

endless scrolling enables addiction, arbitrary video length restrictions shorten the attention span-- i don't really like that so much. i GREATLY dislike that these censors are in place to begin with. i've seen them both proven and debunked, so i have to concede that there is some evidence of censorship of certain terms. not a fan.

and across all social media i dislike the persistent mindset of striving to make it "viral" at seemingly any cost, but that's not a gripe against tiktok users-- that's a gripe at capitalism coming to its logical conclusion, people trying to capitalize on what should be a hobby and nothing more. certainly doesn't help when sites like youtube and apps like tiktok incentivize such a mindset and even gamify it.

i have a problem with how those users are treated by tiktok, not the users themselves-- i dunno how many people agree with me. kinky people need to talk about kink for the sake of making newer, younger members of the community aware of important concepts for THEIR safety. queer people need to be able to reach out to other queers of all ages in plain text as they deserve. sex ed should be given clearly without needing to obfuscate it. i personally am mad because the people who use tiktok deserve far better than tiktok

and i'm madder that they seemingly have no choice. i'm very proud that the hanky code has been reinvented into the queer cipher, but damn it all, when will they stop making us hide?

It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny

"aw i love your earrings, they're so cute!" i say, making the barista's day. i sit down with my coffee and send a respected mutual an anon ask reading "you look like you've got that homestuck kinnie pussy." thus i have maintained the balance of suffering in the world for another day. as i wander down the beach of life, my footsteps do not even disturb its grains

"Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against losing control - of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind.”

The Israeli occupation army killed the family of this Palestinian girl, and when this man gave her a toy, her tears fell and she could not hide them.
