OK I keep seeing people refer to the Michigan parasite outbreak and then others will chime in “it’s in my state too!” so to clarify this for everyone it is a NATIONWIDE outbreak reported in 31 US states as of today, July 12th 2026. There is no reason to assume it is not present in the rest of them

NBC News’ tally shows at least 26 states have reported cases of the parasitic stomach illness, as health authorities race to find the source

I think something missing in the wider discussion about the disproportionate banning and flagging of transfem blogs on this website is the economic incentive. Usually, these discussions are framed as the personal bigotry of staff, of rogue tumblr employees getting a carte blanche to go after trans women they dislike. And to be sure, that is at play! But it’s not the whole story.

Every time tumblr implements some wildly unpopular and unnecessary update to make the website function more like twitter, they do so with the justification that they need to attract new users to the website to stay financially viable. To that end, they make changes that are unwanted by the existing user base to try and emulate the features of other, more financially successful social media platforms. They do this routinely without much regard for how it disrupts the existing functionality and culture of the platform.

I think we need to look at the targeting of transfems through this same lens. Despite all the animosity we face here from users and staff alike, tumblr is one of the few public forums around with this many open and proud transfem users, and it is genuinely a center of transfem culture on the internet. That is something that cannot be said of more financially solvent platforms like twitter and instagram (at least in proportion to the platforms’ overall user bases), whose success tumblr wants to chase. Here, we get into some really uncomfortable economics. There are far more people on the open internet (that tumblr might consider potential new users) who are disgusted by transfems and our culture than there are transfems. Many advertisers see a large presence of transfems as a liability and a risk that they don’t want to associate with their brands. These are the people tumblr wants to attract to the site regardless of how it impacts current users and communities. It’s not just staff being bigoted — it is a company trying to cater to the bigotry of society on a much larger level.

In short, we keep the rent low. Of course tumblr, a company trying to become profitable, wants to evict us.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need a "This is absolutely NOT mature content" feedback button on posts. You can report a post as missing a community label. We should also be able to report posts as having a comminity label when they dont fucking need one.

"Joe Biden writing memorial posts about people he fucking hated" is an underrated genre of literature.

Sometimes I see iwtv fans on here who aren’t my circle of trusted friends and it’s like WHAT are any of them talking about ever omg

[eroscestlavie]

so far there a few interesting categories I have noticed:

People who do not understand what a narrator is, unreliable or otherwise, like the idea of narrative focus and perspective seems lost on certain individuals

Anne Rice purists who somehow are under the impression that the TV show is MORE racist than the books

People who seem to think the tv show is a lesson in how to form healthy relationships

saw a weird post that was blaming butch4butches for "laterally oppressing femmes" because someone complained about femmes being like "can i watch" on butch4butch posts and i just gotta be super clear here. the attraction from femmes and other non-butches isn't the problem. you can think whatever you want, forever, in your head. when you type out your thoughts into a comment box or post on the internet or say them out loud to another person, that's when it becomes an issue. i don't care if you are a femme and you like to jerk it to butch4butch shit all day and write butch4butch erotica and have a butch4butch blog or whatever. it's a problem if you go to a post that's like "i (butch) love making out with other butches" and make an unsolicited comment like "can i watch" or "omg that's so hot" or whatever. the unsolicited part is the issue!! same thing of someone posting a picture of themselves grocery shopping or whatever and commenting "omg you're so hot step on me" it's just weird and violating a stranger's boundaries. the attraction is not the problem, it's the interaction.
