Raven. he/they. disabled queer system. I'm in my twenties. Special interests: mental illness & psychiatry, biology, queer identities & culture & history. Feel free to message me about those in good faith.;;;;;; warriors side blog is @Addershine

Hey all! We’re the roosting system! Collectively we go by Raven (he/they). We’re adults!

Individually, we’re Tare (he/him), James (he/they), Nika (she/it), and adder (they/them). adder usually only posts on @addershine​ which is our warriors side blog. We’re otherkin as well as plural.

Call us mate (platonically) it’s very gender euphoric.

Message me if you want me to describe images on a post (any post).

You can ask me to tag triggers, but I can’t promise to do so reliably. I do currently do my best to tag for rats/rodents, snakes, conversion, and I tag for horror, which includes anything spooky or gory, mainly because I want to be able to find it again later.

If you’re an exclusionist of any kind, I am not your ally.

Oh my god I was just looking to see how much a copy of Hamlet would be through Barnes and Noble and PEOPLE ARE ROLEPLAYING WARRIOR CATS IN THE REVIEWS??????

ok i was VERY involved in the. b&n reviews warrior cats roleplay scene when i was like 10-12. the first two books of the series were general hubs where ppl would post ads for their clans and other groups. there was a huge percy jackson community i remember participating in too. it worked through search results, eg. riverclan might be under the search result “rivers”. book 1 was rules and a “map”, book 2 might be the main area, book 3 the medicine cats tent, etc. there was also usually a book where ppl would post lengthy descriptions of their character(s). it was a rlly bizarre little corner of the internet jdksj also it was impossible to find any real reviews of any of the warrior cats books bc of it

[darkcomedies-deactivated2022042]

this is unironically kind of cool

[dia-tribe]

I rbed this silently but I think I've gotta answer some questions now. I was a big part of this whole thing and the reason we didn't use forums was because 90% of us didn't have normal internet access. Barnes and Noble had an e-reader that could connect to the internet and reach their digital store, which was great for those of us with controlling parents who only let us read books.

[mentallystill]

okay this is awesome and all, but how is the question "why B&N reviews" and not "why is this on Hamlet?" How did they get there?

Image description 1: a meme of a horse running freely threw a beautiful sunny landscape. Text reads "how i feel when i wake up with less symptoms than normal."

Image 2: a pale horse laying in a feild. A homemade sign next to them says "I am NOT dead, Just tired and ugly. Please let me sleep!!!" End image descriptions.

I've already reported this account, @community-system. BLOCK IT. Tumblr @staff will never contact you about account issues via tagging you on a post. Obviously.

Vote for me I'll bring back the dinosaurs

[kraglynn]

There’s a whole overdone franchise about how bad of an idea that is, I WILL still be voting for you though.

[the-real-gmail]

They did it wrong because they tried to contain them

Dinosaurs do not like containment, if we set them free, they lose their appetite for humans and become vegan

I would set them free in every major city

That's where most vegan restaurants are

i feel like whenever people discuss hatsune mikus age its always either "hatsune miku is literally 16 you cant treat her like an adult" or "hatsune miku is a piece of software with no thoughts or feelings you can do whatever" but never the imo more interesting "hatsune miku is a marketing mascot designed to be a virtual idol, what does it say about the idol industry that the people involved considered 16 to be the perfect age to assign her. why do so many vtubers played by adult women have 16 on their profile. why are so many idol anime about highschoolers. can we talk about the contexts and implications please please please please-"

In 2025 Google Removed Pride Month From Their Calendar.

In response we shared a pay-what-you-can Google calendar integration full of queer history.

443 people added queer history to their calendar.

So we did it again for 2026...

[rowles6]

Get off of google calender get off of google docs get off of microsoft office etc

Corperations cannot be trusted and care for no one.

[makingqueerhistory]

I understand this sentiment entirely! I am right now working to get myself off Google Docs, and removing Google from my life as much as I can. I will say, that this rhetoric makes me think of the book drive I am running.

In my province, books are being banned in school libraries and there are two important responses to the situation. First we need people fighting to keep queer books in school libraries, because many children have no access to queer books outside of their school library. Second we need to start preserving queer literature in safe places. If we focus too much on only keeping queer books in school libraries, we run the risk of losing access to these books as a whole community in the event the government doesn't listen to our protests. If we focus too much on only preserving the books, then they will be available only to a specific sect of the community.

All of this to say, we need to leave Google behind where we can. But some of us have jobs that utilize Google in varying ways that we can't opt out of, or can't leave Google right yet for accessibility reasons. Google has specifically made it so it is hard to not use their services, so we need to have multiple responses. I think there is value in disentangling from Google, but I also think there is value in purposefully and aggressively maintaining queer history within the platform of Google.

So to summarize:

[turnipstewdios]

Y'know, I kinda feel like when you get to the point that the general reaction to hearing about a failed assassination attempt is "Ah man, missed again. Maybe next time." you might be overdue for an impeachment.

[sunanthrope]

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.
