Can you please reblog if your blog is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non binary, demisexual or any other kind of queer or questioning people? Because mine is.

Sexually harassing men isn't being a feminist you're just being an asshole

[tboy-cock]

if you sexually harrass men you're more than an asshole, you're a sexual predator. youre a sexual abuser. youre probably a rapist and are friends with rapists

one thing as a trans man in particular that ive noticed is that the very "conventionally attractive" trans men who post online are very routinely sexually harrassed by mainly cis women. the cis gsy dudes might be flirting, but most of them arent as overt and vulgar as cis women. sometimes ill read comments and i get uncomfortable just seeing someone talk that way about a stranger. i feel like cis queer women feel like they have a special pass to sexually harrass trans men (and really all marginalized men) because they view themselves as inherently safer than men and so they dont think that they can be predatory or inappropriate to men

regardless, i think its important to call it how it is. a man who catcalls a woman on the street isnt an asshole, hes a sexual predator. people who sexually harrass other people are sexual predators

The problem with being low support needs is that people mentally autocorrect that to “no support needs” and then proceed to give you absolutely nothing and then get surprised when you implode after six months.

please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

it really is annoying as hell how someone will talk about how poor people can't avoid ethically dubious products because of how being poor works and then someone with a two story house in the suburbs will take that to mean they can order harry potter books through a drone delivery from amazon and if you criticize that you're a bigot

Being nonbinary but visibly afab and fem is a weird place to be.

[juicymori]

I have no desire to be a women, I'm very open about the fact I'm not a women; but I like to dress and be feminine, so people assume that automatically makes my identity as someone who's nonbinary "invalid" because people can't tell I'm nonbinary.

And before anyone comments "how should I know you're nonbinary?" And I'll meet you with a, you're not. I don't expect strangers to know I'm not a women, that I don't identify with being a women; but I believe the people I tell should be able to respect the fact I'm nonbinary and choose to look feminine.

I'm not obligated to be non-conforming or androgynous to suit your stereotype of what you think I should be.

I think being forced into stereotypes is a huge problem within any community, I hate stereotypes and what they force people to be. Anything and everything is on a spectrum of human experience and none of us will have the same exact experience.

I'm still nonbinary even if I don't look it, the way I dress does not speak for how I feel;

Someone is still gay even if they're not feminine and flamboyant

People can still be transgender and choose not to transition or transition fully

Aromantic people can still be in romantic relationships

Acesexual people can still be Acesexual and have sex

Lesbians are still lesbians even if they're not butch

Identity and sexuality is a spectrum that isn't text book stereotype

But it's also ok to BE stereotype

ed promotion blogs are actually sick for not only romanticising but ADVERTISING a literal illness. it is such a horrible thing for anyone to go through whether its starvation or binging. it can ruin lives and is a tiring war on yourself. these blogs are pushing an aesthetically pleasing ideology of them and it is so messed up.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

everything you see on tumblr is biased towards the perspectives of the types of people who post a lot on tumblr. this is essential to remember

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no
