Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

They say im a clown with my money but they’re the ones who are not penny wise

I am immune to all posts that try to guilt-trip people for killing bugs in their home like "I know I'd hate to be killed by someone so much larger and more powerful than me just because I scared them, does it make it okay to kill something for the crime of being small" because like. A whale is a thing that exists. If a whale killed me, by accident or on purpose, obviously I wouldn't be jazzed about dying, but I wouldn't really hold it against the whale. I don't expect a whale to hold my life in particularly high regard. In fact I would think it was kinda weird if it did. This is why I don't go near whales

[raptorific]

You know the worst whales in the ocean are crooning out whale-songs to the other whales like "if you see a human don't smash it, they're just harmless little guys trying to live their lives, they shouldn't have to die just because they're tiny and they freak you out" meanwhile all the modern medical whale-science shows that humans are an invasive pest in a whale's house and carry risk of transmitting Harpoon

in actuality the porn bans and the age-verification shit are all mechanisms by which the incidence of childhood sexual abuse will escalate because the whole point behind them is to further the absolute control over children by their guardians by restricting them from gaining access to information that will enable them to understand themselves and their abuse and make steps to break free of it. and it is guardians of children, members of the families, with total control over children, who are incontrovertibly the ones behind the overwhelmingly vast majority of CSA. this is unquestionably NOT to protect children; it is, by design, to harm them

You ever run into a book so good you suddenly regain your entire attention span, read the whole series twice, reinstall tumblr on your phone after like six years away from it, face your mildly embarrassing username, go through the whole "oh god i might be perceived" rigamarole that originally kept you from posting for all these years, realize you have no idea what 2025 tumblr etiquette is, and decide to overcome all that just so you can yell about the book you just read?

autism really is the most hyper objectified disorder in terms of people watering it down to being cute or quirky and not struggling with reading people's social cues, food textures, overstimulation, delayed socialization and being mega stigmatized and vulnerable to abuse.

I've seen so many "why can't y'all get hyperfixated on learning social cues" or "small talk is easy" like did you people forget that autism affects your ability to socialize severely or do you just think autism is just being a "silly little guy" disorder.

[wolfertinger666]

I think what's worse is seeing other autistic people with the superiority complex assume that anyone who doesn't mask or manage their disorder properly aren't worthy of respect and understanding.

[wolfertinger666]

"just learn how to talk to people and be normal-"

what if I ripped you into shreds

I am a very autistic person who has trouble socializing and giving eye contact, i would be lying further if I said this disorder didn't cause me to be mega alienated and treated with abuse growing up

I think I just realized that part of my anxiety with being in public is that I feel like I don't have the same right to use public spaces as other people do. Like they're the real People Who Use This Coffee Bar. And when I try to use it as someone who is not Inherently Worthy Of Using The Coffee Bar I'm just getting in their way

[theygender]

Anxiety will really have you getting imposter syndrome over things like *checks notes* drinking free community coffee

[theygender]

Exactly

‘We need more loud, unashamed queers’ yes but some of you can’t even seem to handle a bisexual woman liking men.

[theforesteldritch]

some of you can’t even handle not treating bi people as punching bags because you think our bisexuality makes us less queer than you.

[theforesteldritch]

’bi people center men’ well no, you’re perpetuating the idea that bi men are really just gay and bi women are really just straight. And also maybe hot take it’s not a bad thing for a person to be attracted to and love men and it doesn’t make said person’s love for and attraction to women any lesser. You just see bisexuals as tainted and dirty.

infantry and adultery sound like they'd be opposites but they're in fact completely unrelated

[swordseer]

These things are more related than you could possibly understand. Ask any US soldier about it.
