With how many transfems staff's been terminating just for being transfem, I don't think it's out of the question that I'll be terminated as well. Mutuals, DM me if you want to add me on Discord.
I'm also considering moving over to Bluesky because of Tumblr's racism and transmisogyny. If you want to follow me there, I'm @ nature-nerd-sarah.bsky.social
I'm sure false etymology posts aren't like actually more common than any other type of misinformation on this website, it just happens to be a type of misinformation I'm better at spotting and a type of misinformation that shows up in the type of posts people I follow tend to reblog. but dang false etymology posts sure are common
if you happen to know what common greek and latin roots mean you can spot someone mistranslating them, which comes in handy very often
normal sounding words are almost never coined as acronyms. if someone claims something is an acronym you should literally always fact check it
sometimes the story presented by a proposed etymology falls apart if you like. think about it. why would a hypothetical continent be named after an animal speculated to not live there? why would an idiom's original form be something that very obviously sounds like something you'd say as a comeback to the version everyone already knows?
that one happens enough to get its own numbered point on this list, if someone claims a common expression is the "short version" of another older phrase that means the opposite thing they are either lying or uncritically repeating something they saw on tumblr once. you almost don't even need to fact check this, you can just assume they're wrong
I thought it would be funny if Dungeon Meshi had a different protagonist, so welcome to the
Contest to Replace Laios
This is the masterpost for the tournament. I'll pin it and update it with every new round, so you'll be able to find all polls easily.
The rules are very simple: You just vote for whichever character you think would be a good replacement for Laios, for whichever reason. The character with the most votes advances to the next round.
Propaganda is encouraged! Please put it in the body of the post so I can reblog it. Add some regular-styled text to make sure it shows up in my notifications. I don't reblog propaganda from tags or replies.

One thing that slightly annoys me is how, whenever I post a picture, put the description in the alt text, and tag it "ID in alt text", some people will still reblog it with the tag "no ID" or "no description". Like, I'm sorry, I get that accommodation for screen readers is important, but at some point you're going to have to look at the space that's specifically provided for people to put their image descriptions to see if there's an image description there.
did you know that if people disagree with me on the internet it's because they literally can't read. yep. it's because of a functional disability caused by deep structural issues disproportionately affecting poor/racialized people. no no i'm just bringing it up to make fun of it. in a leftist way btw
did you know that if people disagree with me on the internet it's because they're literally brain damaged from lead poisoning or COVID-19 infections. yep-
