the grim reality for a lot of nonbinary people is that their options are closet themselves and be perpetually misunderstood by the world at large or be out and proud and be perpetually misunderstood by the world at large

I keep getting that stupid fucking AI ad that asks me if I’d like to “read fanfiction designed for me”

BITCH I WRITE THE FANFICTION DESIGNED FOR ME

I have over 200 works. I’ve written for at least 10 different fandoms. I have spent literal YEARS perfecting my craft

DO NOT SPEAK THE ANCIENT MAGIC TO ME!! I might not have been there when it was written, but at least I cast the ancient magic with my own fucking hands

[somehowliving37]

what if i said i wanted to write a tony x grace and reader x natasha fic. and the reader is a mechanic that flew on a one-man-mission to find grace and send his coordinates back to earth so that the guardians could save him? and that they were close (co-dependent) friends that saved each others lives? and that reader knows nat (who she calls gnat bc she annoys her (did i mention reader was a woman? a black one too)) because reader was a mechanic for black market weapons dealers, and then they fell in love in the messiest way possible because of it? and that phm literally ripped them apart? and that the reader is complex, and suicidal, and dark where grace is bright, and brave where grace is cowardly?? and that there’s spiderson?? because there’s spiderson. and infinity war. and endgame. and black widow. and thunderbolts. and LOTS of grief after spiderman: no way home. would anyone be interested in that?

ryland grace’s siblings are colt seavers and courtland gentry. He went to college with Tony Stark. He worked at Abbott elementary. Then he worked as a science teacher for Peter Parker. Then he got shot into space and met Simon Iron Lung.

I fear that’s just how it goes.

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.

me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people

I have grown to realize a lot of you severely underestimate just how much antiblackness we have to swallow for the sake of our personal peace and our livelihoods. I'm not saying that to be mean or to make you go into a guilt spiral- that would be a useless reaction anyway- but I do want you to consider it. That what you believe to be peace is not just because it "is".

"Well if it was important why didn't anyone say it sooner?" "if it was important, why didn't they say it was racist?" peer, a good 75-80% of what I might say to the white and/or nonblack people that offend me directly goes swallowed for the sake of my paychecks and running water, or God forbid to avoid a bullet. Or if I'm online (where that number shrinks significantly), to be left the fuck alone 🤣

Y'all are very used to not having to hear that feedback bc we've been forcibly socialized into accepting that you won't take it well and often have the power to make it not worth our while to speak. Retaliation is common. That's why it's perturbing to folks when Black people DO speak up. Interrupts the status quo 😅

So on my posts about racism or transmisogyny, I often see tags that basically say “I don’t understand this but I’m going to reblog it anyway.” If you see a “social justice” type post that you want to reblog but don’t understand?

Don’t.

I know this goes against everything you’re used to hearing on this website, but listen. Reblogging posts you don’t understand is basically the equivalent of blindly repeating whatever you’re told. Even if you’re right, if you don’t understand why you’re right, you could be spouting utter bullshit and you wouldn’t even know it.

When I see “I don’t know what this means but I’m gonna reblog it anyway” it sends a lot of messages. It says that you care more about seeming right than being right. It says that you want good ally credit without any of the work of being a good ally. It says you’re on my side because I can make a post sound good, not because you actually agree with me on anything beyond the surface level.

So instead of just reblogging that post, save it for later. Like it, draft it, bookmark it, whatever. Go to the op’s blog and skim through a couple of pages, see if you can find some context. If the post is old, you could try asking for context in a non-condescending way. “Is this post referring to something specific?” is a lot better than, say, “Does this even happen? I’ve never heard of this.”

If that doesn’t help, do some more research. Google, search tumblr tags for recent posts on a subject, ask people who have EXPLICITLY stated they are willing to educate. Maybe in the process you’ll find more posts with a similar message to the original, but in easier to understand language. Maybe someone else already added a reply that adds useful information onto the op.

And maybe all of that takes a long time. Maybe, by the time you finally understand what the post was talking about, it’s months old and no longer relevant. Maybe you don’t even want to reblog it anymore. Who cares, fuck that post. You learned and grew as a person. That’s more important than looking good on a blog.

Trans day of every tabloid shuts the fuck up about us forever. Trans day of let us have our healthcare and leave us the fuck alone. Trans day of tearing down the panopticon. Trans day of let us control the narrative instead of deferring to some cis sexologist's hallucination.

I am writing on behalf of my friend Nader, who is still trapped in Gaza with his family during this ongoing siege. What is shown on the news does not hold a candle to the suffering he is subjected to every day—conditions have worsened, resources are scarce, and many people who need medical help are unable to receive it because of the costs. Nader's father is one of these people.

[nibeul]

Though Nader's father needs a hospital to handle his cancerous tumors, he instead has to undergo treatment in medical tents with limited medical supplies, medical staff, and food. As the days pass, this supply is being limited more and more, leading to rising prices that Nader and his family have to cover. It is both a race against time and money to keep Nader's father alive.

[nibeul]

Nader has been trying to gather funds for his father's treatment and for his family in general since the beginning of this war. He has dreams, too, and hobbies like swimming and football, which he has been unable to indulge in because of the genocide. He dreams of living like everybody else. Donations are the only way to achieve this, for his father, him, and the rest of his family, so please, if you have anything to give, it could save someone's life.

[abdalsalam2000]

Life here is far more difficult than what is reported in the media and news outlets. Life is still nonexistent, and we are living in inhumane conditions that no human being could endure. Please do not ignore our suffering. Help us and donate whatever you can to save our children and get us out of here alive and safe. The bombing is still ongoing. A residential apartment building was bombed, and there are injuries. Please donate now.

[abedalrahman2000]

I am dying from unbearable pain. I swear to you, sharing this could be the reason I stay alive in Gaza.

[abedalrahman2000]

My health collapsed because of severe anemia, and I disappeared for two days. Please replace today’s coffee with a small donation to save my life.

[abedalrahman2000]

My heart is broken for my family. If I die, they will be left to die after me. Please donate, share, and speak about us.
