What exactly is wrong with your leg?
Well, that is the problem, that I don't know. It's a pain in the lower hamstring. Not very strong, but persistent. It always hurts after I've been running for a while. And even after being almost a week doing no sport, it's swollen. The thing is that it's been hurting since February. And last year also, so it must be an old injury from which I didn't fully recover :(

But, and this is a genuine question since I love your tumblr, by reblogging certain posts (I know not to which you refer) with your name included, isn’t it less appropriation and more presenting your opinion as a differing but wildly valid point of view?
It honestly depends on the post. Tumblr is a weird place; sometimes reblogging comes off as pure signal boosting, sometimes it comes off as 'me too', and sometimes it comes off like you're personally repeating the joke.
All three of these things can be problematic. Let me give you an example of a thing that is problematic for me to do: there's a couple people I follow that talk about parenting and specifically corporal punishment in the African-American communities. These are black people talking about an issue within their communities specifically to their communities. I happen to agree with a couple of folks in particular, but the issue is none of my goddamned business. Reblogging those posts, either to share or to 'me too' their opinions would be gross of me. My opinion is not valid, wanted, or needed.
There are posts and jokes going around that define and joke about femininity, from simple jokes about being a princess or a magical girl to complicated posts about critiquing femininity as a social construct vs. critiquing individuals who dress femme or techniques and things that feminine folks do. Some of those posts are not for dudely folks. They're women (and in some cases, non-binary folks) talking about what it means to be a marginalized gender. We're having that conversation with our folks and with ourselves, and we neither need nor want a masculine perspective; not even as a 'me too' or a signal boost. Sometimes if the reblog comes off as a 'me too' it feels like a privileged person co-opting the conversation
Sometimes sharing another person's opinion with a wider audience also brings shit down on them. To use myself as an example again, I've reblogged some trans* folks posts before and accidentally brought radfems down on their heads; they've gotten death threats and anon hate and trolls through my reblog. That's on me, because I have a lot of followers and I should know better, frankly.
That's a long way of saying it depends but, y'know, it depends. That's why I said I wasn't going to talk about a specific post; lots of folks are guilty of this. Just think about things, and use Craig Ferguson's three-step test:
1) does this need to be said
2) does this need to be said by me
3) does this need to be said by me right now
Don't forget your privileges while considering #2.
My inbox is not working -- I am not ignoring you, I just can't seem to get an answer to go out. (Especially to gregwhite and galaxia7 who are waiting on stuff)
