I feel like someone is standing next to me talking about how I'm dead

[rudolphsboyfriend]

The chemical they put on ants and all the other ants think they're dead that's what happened to tumblr except the chemical is unmarketability

tumblr may have censored porn but check this out

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

[shithowdy]

hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

[shithowdy]

past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you

we fucking found them?

[prof-grace-aspen]

Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:

"Smooth edges of screen fonts"

My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.

Y'all.

I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.

Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:

Then you'll see this:

TURN IT ALL OFF.

I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.

[khashanakalashtar]

My computer is so quiet and reasonably-temperatured now and I barely notice a difference in utility, why is windows like this

maybe I can even play computer games again

The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.

10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.

Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")

The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.

TLDR: this white queer person tried to hold other white queer people accountable for their racism and they DID NOT LIKE THAT

[cassandrasqueerkandi]

FR!!! I also think it's important to mention that as a trans girl, I see a lot of other white trans girls appropriating asian culture because they associate it with femininity, which genuinely pmo as a wasian girl (i am more white than asian and am very white passing, so I can't fully provide input on this). This definitely ties into the larger point of the video, bcs I have not seen other people call out these issues and they are usually ignored, and when they are brought up people are just blatantly ignorant ("if i can't see it it doesn't exist"). even i don't feel like I've noticed the issue this person is talking about, but I am not in transmasc spaces so of course I wouldn't see it. I doubt this person has noticed transfem asian appropriation, but I have since I am in largely transfem spaces. but either way, this problem definitely exists in both spaces, and it definitely still needs to be addressed.

[she-reblog-on-my-blog]

I saw a very useful video about this similar phenomenon even in cis white people. They said in the video white men emulate black men because they think it's more "masculine," and and white women emulate east asian women because they perceive them as "more feminine/cute/etc."

This ALSO ties into white trans men and nonbinary emulating east asian men because they perceive east asian maleness as a "more feminine" version of masculinity and therefore "more achievable/idealized."

i have my own gripes with this in regards to how other white trans men fetishize east asian men and how they might write erotic RPF or fanart, which in a vacuum might be whatever, but there's this undercurrent of "being east asian (or appearing east asian) is an automatic pass for me to fetishize you and make objectifying comments about you" which i personally have experienced firsthand and. aaauuuughghhhh i wish ppl would be more Aware of how their tastes in RPF or whatever (fantasies about celebrities who might never see it) affects how they interact with REAL PEOPLE they might actually talk to FACE-TO-FACE??? especially when it's rooted in racism like this

the perception of blackness as "more masculine" and east asians as "more feminine" is absolutely unacceptable and we should address it more.

"I will never swim again until and unless I get surgery."

"This is why I try so hard to protect my trans sister, she has to deal with so much of this all of the time."

"And this is why I will never learn how to swim"

"I never go swimming, unless it's an event that explicitely mention that Trans Women are welcome"

And other such tags I am vaguely paraphrasing are ones I have had the horror of reading on my post. The trans girls are not swimming. It feels like there is a hole in my body where my heart should be, through which all my blood is pouring. I can't.

[viviprotrudes]

This is just the tiniest fucking window into how transmisogyny affect people. This is about a space that was held by trans people and for trans people where the transphobia targeting a transfeminine person was prioritized over everything else.

[viviprotrudes]

If anyone doesn't believe how badly transfems want to swim and how badly they fucking don't get to, don't feel/aren't safe enough to do so, whatever the fuck else, just look at the comments and tags. I thought there were already too many for it to be random on a post with, at this time, about ten times the reach of this one hereabove.

And yet I have ten times as many tags and comments on this here post about trans women and transfems not swimming. Heartbroken doesn't fucking cover it. I am trying to stay sane in the face of this but I am seriously not doing a great job at it. Fucking hell.

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

i miss swimming.

[puppygirllaika]

i miss swimming so fucking much ;-;

the flat hand thing works, she’s correct

[lyrifemme]

The flat hand thing is so correct, and I’ve thought about this clip like four times a week since i saw it like ten years ago. That is NOT a noise she intended to make

[lunarissylva1997]

I don't normally post this but oh my word ohh goddess I'm gay

[butchdemiurge]

in 2026 let’s start actually noticing and taking seriously the true scale and impact of jkrs transmisogyny and how she’s been funneling decades of royalties and ip owner cash directly into anti trans lobbying thats been making the uk hell while gradually worsening conditions elsewhere through impacting the zeitgeist

[butchdemiurge]

[boybeetles]

I forget straight people have a really bad habit of using top/bottom to mean dom/sub until I’m talking to someone who calls a women in a m/f relationship a ‘top’ and they get mad at me because I think they meant she’s pegging the guy. Apparently they mean she’s just kinda mean and controlling in bed. This is like the 3rd time this year this has happened.

[boybeetles]

Being into m/f ships is hard because you will look up “Top [women] Bottom [man]” and all the posts will be incorrectly tagged dombottom women/subtop guy and if you ask people to correctly tag stuff you are the bad guy. I want to her fucking him in his hole!!

this info has not really made it around to everyone who would prefer to know about it, so let me restate here that Overwolf, Thunderstore, and Curseforge are all subsidiary/owner companies based in Israel that explicitly support the IDF both on the personal basis of their individual employees and the company itself donating money for snacks and body armor, but also fundraising from the public for the same. please do not use Thunderstore, Curseforge or Overwolf. your ad traffic is funding genocide. even if you have an adblocker, your participation in their ecosystem is keeping other people there and contributing traffic anyway. get your mods on Nexus or modrinth. use a different mod manager, there are plenty

if you MAKE mods, please pull them from Thunderstore and send your users to other mod hosts. there have already been multiple waves of this happening, especially amongst the Sims 4 modders, which is great

Stuff like guerilla gardening, stickering, wheatpasting, lifting, graffiti, pothole-filling and other minor illegal acts aren’t only important for their primary effects, but because disobeying your capitalist programming helps break down the internalized worldview that comes with it

You start seeing society as it is: a collection of flawed, limited, man-made institutions that can be ignored, reshaped, or abolished. You see your environment as something that you’re free to improve and beautify. You see items on shelves as common property which is unjustly hoarded and guarded. You see cops as violent oppressors upholding the unfair demands of the ruling class - but you also see them as human, able to be avoided, fooled, and fought

Practice illegalism daily to see past the smoke and mirrors that make it look like the way things are is the way they must be. A better world is possible

[queeranarchism]

Disobedience is a muscle that requires exercise. If you envision yoursef a resistance fighting and think you’ll start breaking the law once it becomes absolutely necessary, you will not have the skills, the experience, the realism, connections or the courage once the time comes.

The revolution isn’t an event to happen somewhere, someday, somehow.

It is happening everywhere, all the time, and in all of these different ways that each person has access to.

“You are what you do repeatedly,” and what you do now, immediately, prepares you for what you’ll do next.

[wolfertinger666]

when you remember what happened to the word "woke" you'll never stop being mad. woke originally meant to "stay alert" during antiblack racial injustices that black individuals face and now it got turned into meme shit and it's genuinely infuriating when antiblack systemic oppression is still ongoing across the world.

The thing about harry potter is that it's Not a matter of ~ problematic media ~ it's a "the creator is directly funneling shit tons of money into the Kill All Trannies Foundation". This is our anita bryant. Can you grow a fucking spine and morals and stuff? If we were in the 70s some of you would be talking about how orange juice is your safe food or something. She's the actual devil I think that's more important here

[tlirsgender]

Like your wizard books fucking suck anyway we've pretty thoroughly torn them apart at this point but all of that is still besides the point that she is The Devil. Even if they were good you still shouldn't be giving this woman your money & you should be embarrassed to associate yourself with her work. Come on. Can the millennial nostalgia industrial complex crash and burn yet I'm sick of y'all

[tlirsgender]

"Ooh I'm pirating it I'm buying merch secondhand" ok but you should have some sense of shame about it. Like usually this is where someone makes a point about exposure and continued relevance cause you're still promoting it but, like, even if you found a way to engage with the wizard books without contributing to Millennial Anita Bryant's wealth even a little 100% guaranteed, how can you stomach it at this point? Doesn't it make you feel sick?? What is wrong with you. Also "well I'm headcanoning them as queer so I'm sticking it to jkr" is just stupid. Your Thoughts don't cancel out Real Material Consequences
