PSA for New Users/Blank Blogs/Ageless Blogs

If you keep getting blocked from content creator blogs there are three major reasons and ways to fix them.

🚩🚩🚩This is a Huge RED flag!🚩🚩🚩

1. Update your avatar. Anything besides the default picture.

2. Update your blog title and description. Add your age range, Minor, or 18+ to the blog title/description. "Untitled" is a red flag that you are a bot. Something as simple as "Here for the fanfic! 18+" will do it.

3. Reblog or post something to let us know you aren't just a bot. You can reblog some of your favorite content or make a post that just says "Human. Please don't block me!"

Please respect others' boundaries. If a blog says they are 18+, don't follow them if you are a minor. If a blog posts things you aren't interested in, unfollow or block them.

Most of all, be kind. Kindness costs nothing and means everything.

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Styles from the Steppes: California Steppes Photoshoot (Esther)

Nav: Photoshoot Duo/Esther/Tara // Shoot & Styling Background // Macaron Design Background // Ferghana Design Background

"Call her briar rose or smth tho bc those 12 ft long braids kept picking up thorns on the hills" - Yulan

Pt. 2 of our AAPI series: Meet Esther, our model for the Macaron set! 🍬

A Bay Area native of Chinese-Mongolian heritage aptly born in the Year of the Horse, Esther works in software engineering and enjoys baking, thrifting, and bouldering in her free time. We chose Esther for this look to help represent the bridge between Mongolian / northern steppe heritage and the Central Plains influences that shaped this style of hanfu.

Our Macaron set is named after a Chinese horse pun: “馬卡龍” is the transliteration of “macaron,” but literally reads “horse-card-dragon.” Keeping with the dessert theme, we designed this set in pastel confectionary colors and styled Esther with pastel eyeshadow shades to match! 🍭

Historically, this outfit draws from Northern Dynasty dress and the legacy of the “胡服騎射” policy — “wearing Hu (non-Han) clothing and shooting from horseback.” During the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao promoted the adoption of cavalry-friendly clothing elements associated with non-Han horse-riding peoples of the northern steppes, many connected to the lands of present-day Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. Over time, these styles became integrated into Hanfu. The pants in the Macacron set, for example, are a hybrid of hundred-pleat skirt and lantern pants, literally “百褶燈籠褲” or hundred-pleat lantern pants. The belt is made of imitation Songjin brocade, and features a pattern of golden horses galloping through waves, humorously titled “馬上有錢” 🧧

For styling, we gave Esther dramatic 12-foot-long twin carabiner braids, a modern nod to braided hairstyles long associated with many nomadic steppe cultures for beauty, identity, and practicality on horseback. And if you catch a glimpse of her nails, they’re hand-painted press-ons featuring horse artwork from a small studio in Inner Mongolia!

For AAPI Month, we’re celebrating the many ways heritage moves: across borders, across generations, and across the stories we choose to wear. 🐎

Also on age verification: I have been on this website since 2011. Unless you think I started blogging at age 2, you KNOW I'm an adult.

[dreamerinsilico]

#the fact that 'can prove access to an online account at least 12 years old' or even 'account to be verified is itself fully 18 years old'#AREN'T accepted methods of age verification is such a telling sign of what the real purpose of age-gating laws is:#data harvesting and deanonymization and the buildout of state-controllable ways to restrict both content and internet access itself en masse (via @shinelikethunder )

“According to the report, Tuesday was supposed to mark the start of a productive legislative week, with House members returning from the weekend to pass a slate of bipartisan bills. Instead, the chamber sat nearly empty after Republican leaders postponed the scheduled votes. Johnson’s fractured caucus has repeatedly sabotaged his legislative agenda. Senior House Republicans and aides now openly acknowledge it’s preferable to cancel votes entirely than risk the political fallout from public defeats on the House floor.”

The “women have a biological clock that makes them suddenly want a baby” thing is weird because nowadays 75% of the time you hear about a couple where one of them is desperate to have a baby RIGHT NOW despite the impracticality of their current life circumstances, the baby crazy one is the man.

[slipmoth]

^ said it like a champ. There's always something inherently selfish about reproducing, especially in this day and age. If you truly love children and care about their wellbeing, you don't bring them into this world.

I'm sick and tired of people telling me I'll change my mind.. sorry I'm not shallow and self-centred like you, smh

[clover11-10]

Popular media like 30-40 years ago always painted women as baby obsessed and marriage ready while men seemed to want to be eternal bachelors having fun and being forever young.

The reason being that getting married and having a family was still the dominant expectation in life and being outside that norm made you very very abnormal. But now with extreme economic disparity, political tension, and more women in general going to school and working their priorities have shifted. Those men fully expected to have families one day but they wanted it on their time and would just go after the first woman that expressed interest in that domestic life.

Now the choice is being actively taken away with more and more women choosing to willingly not have kids and get married. So men start having temper tantrums because the life they expected: guaranteed job, house, spouse, and kids is now vanishing. They can't control the jobs or house but having a family even when you're dirt poor is still possible. But women by and large don't want to struggle as single parents while married.

So you have this clash of values where men want a family for the status but not because they want to be an active participant in being in their own family. They desperately want to cling to someone's semblance of normalcy that hasn't existed in decades. If they want the family they either have to grow up in ways they don't want or settle for someone with very traditional values and then actually hold to those traditional values.

Also those baby obsessed men tend to be obsessed over sons and are the ones who have a full on meltdown if it's a girl. Their masculinity is intrinsically tied to how they participate in heteronormative presentation i.e.: being married with kids (cough sons) and the more they're not dating, getting married, or having a kid the more they're failing.

Too bad more men don't care about why women are checking out and instead whine and complain online about not getting dates like the world owes them a factory set life partner.

The fact the 2 colors removed from the rainbow flag were pink and teal, is kinda ironic given that those same colors can make a trans flag

[queer-as-city-folk]

This is a coincidence of course, given the colors were removed in the 80s and the trans flag was made in 1999

anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandma's boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are "like that" because they haven't seen their grandma's tits

good job tumblr 👍

[antarctic-octopus]

[theslowesthnery]

there it is!

my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):

american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they're american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they'd never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life. but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma's tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that "beauty is fake and temporary", but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma's house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn't see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think "well it wasn't ugly on my grandma's body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else's body?". it makes you much more understanding and "forgiving", if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.

[roughentumble]

[image description: a screenshot of a tumblr ask. An anonymous user says "boobs shouldn't sag like that", and OP replies "what a funny way of admitting that you've never seen a pair of boobs outside of porn"

then, someone else replies to the post with a screenshot that reads

"I always think of one of my co-workers at a husky farm near Inari, who told me apropos of nothing while we were clearing out dog shit together that he thought the reason Americans are "like that" ("like what, Veikka" got the response "you know what I mean") is because "they never see their grandma's tits." His logic was that "in Finland, you go to the sauna with your grandma from when you're a baby, and you see her naked, and this is years and years before you ever see any porn, so you know before you see any of it that it's temporary and fake. And when you get a girlfriend later, you know it's only a matter of time before her tits look like that too, you accept this. And Americans don't know that! They don't! They look at porn, and then they get a wife, and then they're surprised and bitter when she gets old - it's true!"

Like, to be clear, I think Veikka's analysis might have been missing more than a bit of nuance, this is the same guy whose motto was "Driving 600km south to Rovaniemi to get therapy is expensive, chopping wood till you don't care about it anymore is free", but I do occasionally still look at some British or American take online and think to myself, in his voice, "they've never seen their grandma's tits""
