It's crazy how trauma makes you push people away when all you want is love.

Pain demamds to be felt. It screams and kicks at your sides till you finally look at it and gently stroke its head. Its presence is a search for comfort. For love. For safety. Pain, simply is the absence of comfort.

no more marvel. no more booktok books with the same cover. no more poetry collections that are written solely for the quotes to circulate online. no more songs written with the intention of going viral. please i’m begging.

I just realized that about a year from now I will finally be free of my abusive, transphobic, homophobic parents. I don’t know what the heck I’m feeling specifically but it’s a lot

I'm so happy to hear that the end is in sight and that you've found a way out of there! No one should have to put up with abuse, so I'm glad it'll soon be a thing of the past

“Translation today, as scholar Dima Ayoub argues, is seen not only as a necessity but also necessarily good. What makes translations a must? Where does this blind faith in translation come from? Doesn’t translation act also as unconditional access, as surveillance, as an expanding force of the global capitalist market of literature?”

— Mona Kareem, from her essay “Western Poets Kidnap Your Poems and Call Them Translations”, published in Poetry Birmingham, Issue 7

As the staff post about ad-free tumblr continues to get thousands of notes telling staff to fuck off in the tags, I wanna remind you that this website's days are numbered. Tumblr is still unprofitable and by some modern-day miracle none of its acquiring companies pulled the plug on this money pit. But it will happen if it continues its trajectory.

Whether you like it or not, Tumblr needs to make money off you somehow in order to stay up. It either serves ads or asks for money to use it. This has been a paradigm on the web longer than many of you have been alive. It's Tumblr's job to make money right now because it's well past its grace period of being a black hole for cash. This has actually always been Tumblr's job, since it is a corporation, but that's capitalism for ya.

If you want Tumblr to be here for free and you want to continue to use it, you do yourself a disservice by opposing any changes Tumblr makes in order to pay for its costs. When this site finally goes belly-up then you're gonna be Tumblr-less until whatever startup takes its place and the cycle repeats itself.

If you think it should just ask for donations Wikipedia-style, remember that if and when that happens, there will be users repeating the same tired bullshit about giving Tumblr any money.
