Hello welcome to my random main blog! I queue a lot of posts I find funny, interesting or important and whatever my current fandom fixation is.

Member of the queer monsterf☆ckers club - fictional villains are not real and can not hurt us.

I play imperial characters in a video game; in the real world anti-imperial. Shouldn't be too confusing. Unless I forget to tag but I trust you are smart enough to figure it out.

twitch.tv/ruminspector I do not really stream anymore but if you have too much money you can use twitch bits function to send some my way.

I just got blasted full out uncensored pron clips on tumblr and for a moment I felt like you know what? That used to be tumblr. That used to be the internet. If you ventured outside your small cozy spaces you might see Stuff. And it was fine, we survived. Taught us not to scroll tumblr in public and choose blogs we follow more careful. To use tools to hide stuff and tags we don't want to see instead of platforms becoming puritan hellscapes of censorship by default, everyone forced to become Lukewarm bc "fyp algorithm" may serve your content outside its intended audience.

The whiplash of then getting a warning for potentially mature content and it's just someone showing off their tattoo.

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 )

Sign of depression in the modern era: Package with fun little treats arrived at parcel point yesterday morning and haven't picked it up yet. I like little treats. I like walking to town, the route has nature, I once saw a huge elk drinking at the small stream on the way just few meters away and felt blessed for days. And I am sitting here in the dark room fewling unmotivated and scared to go out the door.

Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.

"why are you proship" I'm going to hold your hand when I say this.

No self respecting or genuine feminist theorist or advocate is in favour of censorship.

If they're telling you that someone deserves to be arrested for her art, that's a poser. It isn't just fandom bullshit. Laws being imposed that crack down on artistic depictions of things you don't like affect everyone. You included.

Why would I, as a queer disabled person, advocate for MORE censorship. Unless I was a fed.

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole

[partywithponies]

I love vague labels that make people go "but that's confusing" or "but that could mean anything" Good. Keep guessing lol

[partywithponies]

"Queer doesn't actually tell me anything" who says I wanted to tell you anything. Who even are you.

[livethrushit]

[higglety]

"queer doesn't tell me anything" is the LITERAL POINT. It's a huge umbrella that can fit any number of experiences under it BY DESIGN. It's shorthand specifically so you dont have to go through your entire sexual and gender identity with every random acquaintance. Frankly, it's nobody's business how i experience gender ow who I'm attracted to and how — not unless I specifically choose to make it their business, in which case I can break out the more specialized identifying words to facilitate a CONVERSATION. But as a general casual label to communicate that my life experience is different from that of the assumed cisgender heterosexual norm? That's what queer is for! It's also for people who don't feel like they fit neatly into a specific identity label, and for people who haven't yet figured out the ins and outs of their own gender or sexuality, and for people who knwo they're not straight but dont particularly care to explore that deeply, etc etc etc. Queer tells you exactly what it's supposed to.
