The speed of /c/ is a wall they say. Born in ’84, genderfluid, she/they (demi¿girl?) contains less than 8% bees. Living in Michigan. Let me know if you want a tag! I tag anything with links to people's OF with "SW" and if you're under 18 or your local areas age of majority, please filter "Minors DNI". Nothing I post will ever, EVER be explicitly sexual but this is a comfort boundary for myself. My ask box is open to any questions but I reserve the right to mercilessly mock the rude. This Blog Is Anti TERF, Anti SWERF, Anti FASCIST, Anti-TRUSCUM, too. I support Jewish people and Muslims and if you are anti-semitic or islamophobic, FUCK OFF. My tumblr!fic is tagged Story Time.

Oh also, new followers: I know/am friends with/follow/etc several sex workers. While my blog will always remain porn free (I cannot guarantee always SFW), if I can reblog and support sex workers and help them with their income, that’s gonna happen. It’ll be tagged “SW” and “Minors DNI”.
Over and over, sex workers say the most valuable thing you can do to help them is to help them *get paid* and trust them to know what is best for their own safety and welfare. But my blog also falls over the dash of a lot of minors, so I am doing my best to be responsible to as many people as I can simultaneously.
It’s okay to not follow if you’re uncomfortable with that. My blog will involve lots of swearing and difficult topics. I frankly trust teens to be able to navigate that. So this is a safer space, not a safe space. I am asking anyone who is a minor to please blacklist Minors DNI. If you aren’t comfortable talking about sex work, please blacklist SW. If you need any tags at all, please let me know and I’ll try to be good about them.
it's crazy 2 me how many queer people make posts and videos etc. complaining about poly queer people using dating apps. lesbians in mine own community will be like "i'm sick of getting on tinder and every single lesbian profile says poly/partnered. they should have a separate app!"
i do think it would be helpful for dating apps to allow/improve filtered searches so poly & mono people don't waste each other's time (among the many improvements apps could make regarding queer identities & preferences)
but it really is insane to me how many monogamous queer people get online every day and essentially say "i thought someone was hot and i wanted to date/fuck them, but then i found out they have a queer identity i think is stupid, and i realized if hypothetically they also wanted to date/fuck me, they wouldn't do it in a way i like, and that made me so angry i made an entire video and posted it online. and i'm the normal one. they're the freak."
and it'll have 100k views 10k comments all from other queer people agreeing.
irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers
In Copenhagen you can visit The Round Tower. It used to be an astronomical observatory until light pollution and the vibrations from increased traffic in the streets made it useless for its original purpose.
Today it’s mostly famous for what it looks like on the inside.
It has an equestrian staircase though it’s so smooth it’s really just a gentle slope more than a staircase. It was build like that so our lazy bum king could ride his horse all the way to the top (king not in photo)
And naturally people have also driven cars up the tower
And held a bike race
For a while it was just sort of abandoned by the authorities and became a sloping marketplace
But today it has been restored and become a tourist spot as well as a popular destination for school trips. And yes, you can still watch the cosmos at the top.
I saw the photo in my feed and went ohh, dude, no, we do not handle yellow rocks with our bare hands until we know for sure what they are. And I know that orange...
In comments, they continue:
and that's where I started cussing at the computer monitor. But someone else had got there first:
So just as a reminder, folks. If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your fucking mouth!
At Halloween last year, the tiniest little girl dressed as one of the Folk came to my door. There's an increasingly magnificent native beautyberry to one side of my stoop, with its marvelous electric purple berries served up in great tumbles, and she was transfixed by it. She got her candy, I complimented her costume, she started down the stairs, and then stopped, and turned back around.
Her: "Are those for-eating berries?"
Me: "Oh, you are so smart and clever for asking first! That is such a good idea, I'm so impressed! These are Callicarpa, called beautyberry, and they are edible. Usually they are for cooking, though, to make syrup or jam, and they're not very nice right off the bush. But they are a food berry, and you're so smart to ask!"
Her: "Can I...try one?"
Me: "If your mother says you may."
Her mother, from the walk: "Are you SURE, like, 100% sure. That those are food."
Me: "A hundred percent sure, ma'am. I could show you a couple of websites on them, if you want."
The Girl: *waits for her mother's nod, then gently reaches out and takes three very small berries and puts them into her mouth*
The Girl: *makes an inquisitive face as she chews, walking down the path toward her mother*
Me, turning back inside: "Husband, you should have seen this very smart little girl just now!"
LARP years and years ago someone playing a "quirky" character (JFC) was chewing on some leaves and grass fine whatever. Then I saw them pick up this bitch:
Those of you who's sphincter just tightened, congratulations you make it through night one of the Hunger Games. Everyone else, that's fuckin poison hemlock. It'll kill ya real dead.
My hand snapped out and slapped the small spray of flowers from their hand.
"What the fuck?!"
"Out of character, that's hemlock. It's very toxic, so you are going to not touch anything, and go to the kitchen and wash your hands with cool water and dish detergent and never do that again. Stop."
Also people now take FOREVER to tell a story or start a product review or whatever because longer videos do better and when you start noticing it, it's impossible to ignore
"I can't copyright a recipe, but I can copyright a stupid ass story I made up about my grandma and family reunions that I hide the recipe inside of."
"Here's how to replace this flashlight's battery along with 900% padding to inflate my watch time along with a pitch to my patreon, socials, and other moneymaking schemes."
"I could have posted this to web as a single paragraph but instead I've made a YouTube short with the hope this one floods your feed instead of the 5681 other shorts saying the same thing."
"This was a two minute answer but the sponsorship deal is for a mid-roll 90 second ad read on a 10-12 minute video so buckle up fuckers I'm getting paid."
Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:
Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.
Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.
Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination.
e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee.
If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).
A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.
