I had a dream
My landlord left these old potatoes on the trash bin and I think we’re planting them for the flowers
There’s video going round of a white woman just rinsing her fingers while handling meat, raw egg, and bread. She says it’s a “Virgo moon” thing and the general consensus seems to be it’s a neurodivergent sensory thing because “everyone makes you feel weird about it” — except among the POC who are all like, yes please fucking wash your hands.
Every time something about hygiene goes viral, I just become a little more hesitant to touch people.
Like…
Basic food hygiene should not be limited to ND folks with sensory issues and please use soap.
TIL that you can have 4th, 5th, and 6th degree burns and it really fucked me up.
These are goats that ran away from my dog.
This is what I look like these days!
Hey, let's talk about anons like this, because I know some people haven't been in a position to see the patterns these play out in on broader scale and may indeed not spot the trap.
And it is a trap.
An ask like this has several purposes.
First, it uses social justice language in passive aggressive and manipulative ways to try to coerce a behavior. In this case, the desired behavior is usually for the recipent to participate in community shunning and/or harrassment. The language above is intended to put the recipient on the defensive where, in the haste to disassociate themself from the Bad Thing, they quickly disassociate themself from the bad person, often with no particular fact checking or evidence.
The message is also intended to create a sense of being surveilled and judged by an unknown amount of people with unknown amount of social power and an unknown amount of relevance to your life.
Notice that these asks are usually framed as if they are coming from a follower or potential follower, someone who is addressing you personally and who cares about your opinion and who your blog has an effect on. However this is usually.... very much not the case. If you've ever had the misfortune to watch a gossip campaign from like this from the outside, you will very quickly notice that messages like this get sent in mass batches to dozens and dozens of strangers. (You can often turn these up with a tumblr search, if you look.)
The sender does not know you and probably does not follow you. They have a person they don't like (possibly for their stated reason and possibly not), and they are going through the reblogs of a post from that blog and mass messaging *everyone* with a form letter. They will not see your response and they will probably never even see your blog again.
Which brings us to the second goal of whisper campaigns like this:
Notice that I blacked out the names above? That's because when the recipient answers anonymous asks like this, they provide a platform for the opinion on their blog. An anonymous message like this that gets posted doesn't just spread gossip and apply pressure to the recipient, it is spread to the recipient's entire community.
The *goal* is to get access to your community. The *goal* is to use you as a soapbox.
Is the information accurate? Did anyone check? Does the anon have an ulterior social motive? BIG SHRUG
If you go into the comments on one of these whisper campaigns you will see that *most people never bother to check.*
They assume good faith from a follower, they're off balance defending themselves, and they jump straight to conciliation.
It's a really, really effective form of social manipulation, and really really commonly misused.
I forgot how much funnier the jokes on Tumblr are compared to Twitter.
I'm sorry.
The research-backed view, emerging in recent years, is that neurotypical (NT) people and neurodivergent (ND) people are merely speaking diff
"The research-backed view, emerging in recent years, is that NTs and NDs are merely speaking different, but equally valid, social languages."
This is a perfect poem.
I finally did it
I deleted all my olds posts save for a handful of art/image ones.
Now I can use Tumblr like I did in 2012.
I remembered the last time I remembered my password, I saved it to 1Password and have logged in again.
I also realized the main reason I stopped using Tumblr was the handful of my posts that went viral annoy the heck out of me.
OMG
I finally recovered the password for this account. HELLO.
I only came on here to tell a secret that I can’t publicly mock.
Not 1, but 2 of my exes have reconnected with me about how they want to surrogate/mother my children in January 2016.
One of them once told my ex wife that she watches pr0n for academic reasons.
Killer whales are terrifying.
A woman from work who likes joined my DnD group to flirt with me, but I ended up telling her a series of terrifying facts about me including the baby proposals and that maybe we could date in 10 years so she quit the DnD group.
HI HOW ARE YOU?

Drawing with a brush again. Feeling pretty good.
David Wojnarowicz wore this jacket in 1988, just 4 years before he’d ultimately die from AIDS. Sadly, just a few years ago some of his artistic work was censored at the Smithsonian. People in power are still content to try and erase his history and the continued struggles of people with AIDS.
