things i dont want on my main

i don't use this blog often tbh don't reblog from me if you have me blocked lmao don't call me straight, or the q slur please don't use the q slur around me not aphobic

[mypolitics]

don't use this blog anymore and don't involve myself in discourse at all 'cause it's pointless and not good for anyone lmao but just a lil update i guess?

i now do think aroaces are lgbt. it's the dumbest thing but i actually read a fanfic that was all about someone being ace and dealing with that (the author was ace too) and it just kind of explained a lot to me and helped me understand things.

i still don't think they can reclaim the q word on that basis, and i still don't think cis straight aces/aros are lgbt. but i can actually understand now that aroaces do have struggles that are incredibly similar to gay, bi, and trans folk. sure they aren't exactly the same, but i just no longer see the harm in including them.

this'll be my last post here. well, hopefully. i might just delete so I'm not tempted but yeah.

if anyone read this far, you probably found my blog through some sort of discourse or generally me being a miserable, depressed as fuck 18-year-old at the time. I encourage everyone, no matter your stance, to just stop arguing with strangers on the internet. It literally accomplishes nothing. I don't know a single person who's ever had their minds changed about anything that way, especially not about something so personal.

it just makes ya bitter

have great lives ✌🏻

i find the debate on very young tr*ns kids a bit of a tough one. when my sister was very young, like maybe five at most, she would cry about wanting to be a boy, and prayed to be changed into one. she grew out of it, it wasn't something that was taken seriously. sometimes i wonder what what would have happened if our parents had encouraged it. i genuinely don't know what i'd do if it a kid said that to me now. i wouldn't want to not be supportive, but also i wouldn't want to feel like i'd pushed them into a huge decision if they then changed their minds. like when i was a kid i wanted to be an elf. but also i know that there are people out there who did know they were tr*ns at such a young age. like i really don't know what the answer is here.

i stand by my last post but "sex can be fun sometimes" is just...................

It was never a phase.

What’s more goth than an app? For centuries, goths around the world have known that the one true goth denominator is, specifically, the Tumblr app. This is an undisputed and universal opinion.

Enter Goth Rave, one of the newest Color Palettes available on Tumblr.

With Goth Rave, anything is possible. Black text becomes purple. Blue links turn pink. And that infamous dashboard blue? It’s as black as your absolutely haunted heart. This thing really does it all. Wow.

To experience a new Color Palette in the app, tap the silhouette icon on the bottom right of your screen, tap the gear in the upper right corner, and then navigate to “Color Palette.” Web users can subject themselves to this untoward beauty of a color scheme by clicking the silhouette on the upper right corner of their dashboard and then cycling through the available Color Palettes.

To not experience Goth Rave, continue scrolling.

maybe you should've considered not using a slur for one of them lmao

I saw loads of people saying Selena Gomez was in blackface for styling her baby hairs/edges, with some people saying only black people can physically have baby hairs. I'm so confused by this, not so much the style, but... I have baby hairs and I'm white. I saw other non black people say the same but they were told they were wrong and they weren't actually baby hairs... can someone explain please?

[ohevoyev]

i am not strong enough to watch people call those two nazi’s from jojo rabbit ‘gay representation’. i think arson might be on the table

Taika Waititi accepting his BAFTA by saying that it's nice to come from a colony to Britain and steal some of their gold and bring it back to where it belongs is a level of iconic behavior that is unparalleled

[mypolitics]

did the English steal gold from them?

[mens-rights-activia]

On one hand I wanna be like “it’s okay to be ugly” to push back against the demands of a world that says we have to constantly pursue a fleeting and rare ideal but on the other hand, what even is “ugly” if we strip it down of its racism, transphobia, classism, and ableism, ya feel?

[criticalbread]

it’s okay to exist without qualification

[ryrythescienceguy]

take a long hard think about why you’re so afraid to be fat, have acne, have bad teeth/skin, be flat chested/not curvy/not muscular, have glasses/braces/etc.......

[mypolitics]

I don't think acne, bad teeth and skin, body shape etc comes from the things mentioned in the op idk

[feywildwest]

employees should be allowed to steal, actually

[feywildwest]

idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate in my head how many hours of work equal one pair of pants, let alone how many hours of work equals the fun thing I want to do next month.

I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can't afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we're selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn't give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don't buy any.

A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children's medicine down, says they're both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she's burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she's so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total.

I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she's not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the "mistake" she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child's health. I don't bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I'm presented with the same situation tonight, I'll do it in a heartbeat.

The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn't two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It's not equal.

Employees should be able to steal, actually.

[koicifer]

Bro I teared up oh my god bro

[princesshoneybee]

THAT'S FUCKING STEALING. You should be fired. What the hell is wrong with you people?

[mypolitics]

Yeah! #LetKidsDie for multi-million dollar companies to profit! Oh, a poor mother with two sick kids, unable to afford medicine? Sucks for you lady, Daddy CEO wants a new yacht! Fire anyone who disagrees, what's wrong with them 🤢🤑

[mypolitics]

Whilst I agree that generally "it's not the job of an oppressed group to educate the privileged" is the right position to take, this really doesn't apply to activists. You can't stop a random person off the street and demand them to explain why X is bad, but if you're an activist and you say that... what are you actually doing? Is that not literally your job?

The idea that oppressor classes will willfully go out of their way to educate themselves is nice, but it's just not realistic.

show your fat partner off goddamn. take them around town on dates and kiss them. hold their hands and tell them they’re the hottest person in the room. check them out when they get up and walk around, show ur friends ur hot as fuck partner, show them off goddamn. If you ain’t comfortable valuing someone fat the same way you would value someone skinny you are being brainwashed by a manipulative and hateful social norm

[mypolitics]

only if they're into it! my partner hates pda and compliments 😔

always try to make them feel good 💖 just treat them as you would any regular ol' human.

Go tO The SheLtEr inSTeAd oF ThOse EVIL BreEderS, because aparently dogs grow in Shelters out of nothing.

i’ve heard sometimes dogs in shelters grow out of other shelter dogs

[mypolitics]

what's your actual point here? you realise people adopt dogs because they're abandoned, often on death row? not because they don't want a dog that was bred. they don't want to buy a dog from a breeder because there are thousands that already need homes, and most breeders use their animals like profit machines.

I just really don't get your logic of "well rescue dogs were BRED TOO checkmate" as if nobody understands that.

[mypolitics]

no one can give a single valid reason as to why non-LGBT ace people can reclaim q***r and that's that

I’ve been interested in reading your trans posts especially as another bi person personally I have been attracted to some trans people but all of them have fully transitioned but I probably wouldn’t date a trans person I was wondering about what you think of trans being a dating preference? A YouTubed I like named Imalexx did a great video on this about some random nb person on twitter saying fuck your feelings and forcing bi/lesbian people to date trans people..

I think that’s transphobic. Why wouldn’t you date a trans person? It’s not about “fuck your feelings” or “forcing” anyone to do anything, it’s about examining WHY you feel that way. I can understand reasonings for “monosexual” people not being attracted to pre-transition trans folk, but as a fellow bi person... what possible reason could you have for not wanting to date a trans person?

for the love of god, this isn’t a misogyny thing, this is teens being awful to each other. and, news flash, boys get it just as bad, just about different things.

And the two positions are usually held by different people.

Just because feminists manage to maintain two mutually exclusive positions doesn’t mean other people tend to do so.

I suppose I need to point out that I heard most of this from girls, and they sure as fuck weren’t taught it by their parents, let alone their fathers.

[feminismisahatemovement]

Here’s the difference today if you’re male:

If you haven’t, you’re a prude AND the lowest of the low, the most useless, pitiful and despicable of all God’s creatures.

If you HAVE, you might not get called a slut quite so much, but you run the very real risk of being falsely and maliciously accused of rape and expelled/fired/imprisoned for the pleasure - if not today, maybe 40 years from now instead.

Other than disease, the worst aftermath to consensual sex a woman has to fear are leaked nudes. Other than disease, the worst aftermath to consensual sex a man has to fear is the complete destruction of every part of his life.

[mypolitics]

I really think you’re exaggerating. Male virgins aren’t seen like that.

As for your bizarre false accusation claim... you do realise that false accusations amount to 2-8% of rape claims, right? Grow up honestly, "very real risk”...

Women can also get pregnant, young women especially can be ruthlessly bullied, their sexual history held against them in court cases. Didn’t you hear about that woman who was murdered and they brought up the fact she was into BDSM? Also many men feel if a woman has consented one time, she’s consented to a lot more too and they have a sense of entitlement.

Mainly, I don’t know why you all felt the need to come on to a post about the sex-shaming women face with your AcTuAlLy MeN fAcE iT tOo. Of course they do. So make your own post. But you’re delusional if you think women aren’t sex-shamed more.
