Be aware that I use the block button very liberally. I've been on the internet for too long and seen far too much in that time, so I'll curate my experience from now on as I see fit, thank you very much. As an added note, fuck AI, fuck genocide, and fuck the right-wing. :)

also guess my favourite colours from just this post lmao

Hey!

Decided to share my fan art. I don't really know what to write here, so I'll just say it was inspired by the painting 'Harlequin' by the Italian artist Francesco Longo Mancini (1880–1954) and a little song I wrote a while back.

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

go!

i'm not a fan of these fuckass stamps that you can't even use anymore in the HD remaster but i have to admit i like the placement of this one

because of course the happy link stamp is in the room full of pots

(there was a post i saw ages ago saying this same thing but i wanted to also express my appreciation xD)

[tastyfiddle]

i'm getting so unreasonably frustrated with people on this site having no fucking manners and i don't even know if i'm justified anymore or if lack of manners is just the new normal nowadays

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 1 day 8 hours

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

[genderkoolaid]

i want to see just how many people get left out of polls / surveys / studies that split the community up into non-overlapping groups of trans men vs trans women vs nonbinary/genderqueer people. so answer my poll child......

note: NB/GQ here is serving as an umbrella term for all kinds of identities, including but not exclusively people who describe their gender as just "nonbinary" or "genderqueer." if you would say "yes i am a trans man/woman, and also [insert other gender here]" that would fall under the first option below.

do you identify as a trans man/woman, NB/GQ, or both?

i am a trans man/trans woman, and ALSO nonbinary/genderqueer

i am a trans man/trans woman, and NOT nonbinary/genderqueer

i am nonbinary/genderqueer, and NOT a trans man/trans woman

i am a NOT trans man/trans woman, and NOT nonbinary/genderqueer

Note: don't let your recency bias decide this, actually think back to what was the objectively funniest time on the internet.

[righthandarm-man]

can you remember the name of every person you’ve kissed?

yes, I remember all their names

I could name most of them but there are few I can’t remember

if you put all of them in a room I could put a name to at least half the faces

i’m not confident I could name a quarter of them, let alone half

I can’t remember more than one or two names

I’ve never kissed a soul and want to see the results

[adhdwannabewriter]

Writers, which software do you use?

Google docs

Microsoft word

Ellipsus

Libre office - writer

Notepad (the fuck is wrong with you lol)

Pages

Other (comment, please, esp if you recommend it)

Checking results

Voting ended onJul 20

I used to use Google docs, but the white mode only was really annoying me (tires my eyes), so I swapped to Ellipsus (which I genuinely love and recommend), but it was bothering me a bit that I need wifi in order to use it, so now I switched to LibreOffice Writer, which I do like.

It very much has a Microsoft Word feel, but is open source and you need no accounts to use it. It's local on your device, so no AI can scan it, and no wifi is needed.

I still wish it had the Google Docs cards, because, bitch, that thing is so good for easy organizing.

yeah nevermind

[willgrahamscock]

the only new feature I want tumblr to add is a mutuals tab and a mandatory ai label with the option to turn off seeing it on my dash
