queer imperialist yankees have done irrepairable damage to the global lgbtq movement its insane

[natoapologistblocker]

I don’t even know how to explain to my fellow Muslims that queer people are normal when you’ve got IOF murderers flaunting the rainbow flag over the ruins of Gaza.

[shotofstress]

how do i explain to proletariat brown and black women of South America than we were queers before western invasions when the gays are mysoginistic af, hate deeply to proletariat women, speak with the accent and manerisms of the pale upper class wife descendents of colonizers and european migrants that make the upper class, and want to be westerners. How do i tell them that we ok when the trans adult ppl want to look like teens and hypersexualize themselves and be sex workers bc westerners said thats freedom while they are being raped by "sex tourists" and promote sexual abuse of teens. How i tell latino parents that we werent women or men before colonialism when trans men want to look like underage teen boys or as 30ish old men emulating the mysohinistic imperialistic greek pedo culture of the west. How i tell latino indigenous people that queers are ok when queers say is freedom and democracy to put a dildo in their ass as queer westerners come to kill and rape our people to take also our land to keep imperialist and capitalism going on. How do I tell latinos that we have culture before western imperialism and that our queers werent Young Girls. How do I ask of them understanding when westerners think having hobbies and friendships is sexual orientation and identity while pansexual westerners rape our stolen babies, teens, and adults thanks to western imperialist, their religions, and the multiple attacks of the west to create a massive pedo ring in the state, perfected duing Plan Condor.

How do i tell latinoamericans that we were better, no men, women, het, cis, nor have any of the disgusting western institutions of identity and family when westerners cry about them being in a ""dictatorship"" bc the current criminal of president they have dont let trans be members of the westerm imperialist forces that rape kids, women, and men everywhere they go, especially global south?

Where's it made? Who brought it here? How much were they paid? Who makes it? Is it made in separate parts and put together? How much were they all paid to do this? Where do they get the materials? Who paid for that? Who brings it there? How much were they paid? Who streamlined the base materials? How much were they paid? Who gathered the base materials? Where? How much were they paid? Is it good for them? Is it good for us? Is it good for the land? Is it necessary? Is it biodegradable? How much does it hurt? Do I need it? Do I even want it?

This is back on my dash! And listen, I love to see Amir Khusrau getting appreciation, but this translation ignores a lot. The original rhymes! And scans! And does playful things with register! And conveys a tone of affectionate banter between the two speakers, not least because it has them both addressing each other as sakhi (translated above as “girl”) in the last two lines. I think taking some liberties with line order is worth it to preserve more of the rest—and I think there’s a better translation of sakhi. And so:

He only visits once a year, I splurge big on him when he’s here, His kisses make my tastebuds tango. Who, bitch, your man? Nah, bitch, a mango.

Some of yall will be like Omg I love this character <33 and then be talking about a bastardization of that character so extreme that is now just your oc with the same name

[hylluslepus-deactivated20230207]

I did not write this to be a "Haha everyone does that its so funny" thing I wrote it to try and make some of you realize that while headcanons can be fun when you get to a point where your interpretation of a character is entirely unrecognizable from the original just make an oc what is the point of trying to claim its that character. Also so many of you just straight up are playing into racial stereotypes when you do this like you Seriously need to think of how you're interacting with characters of color and which characters you're headcanoning as poc. So many of you play into the mammy stereotype or the unemotional/hypersexualized asian sterotypes without even fucking realizing it and I'm sick of seeing it. Could yall take two seconds to think critically about how you're interacting with characters because it doesn't matter if you're playing into racist caricatures unintentionally its still racism.

we have to start running a massive PSA campaign to young gay people so everyone understands there is a difference between being a dom and being a top and between being a sub and being a bottom. and also that sometimes you are neither a sub nor a bottom and you're just like shy. we need to be handing out flyers we need ads at every train station spreading the word

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

[teh-nos]

i get this now and it won't let me click through to any 'mature' blogs :(

[hylianengineer]

Where's the fucking. The form. The fucking form. Hang on, lemme find it.

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

This! Please fill out this! Select "Feedback" and fill out the form! They won't necessarily be paying attention to us complaining in posts, but they will read these forms!

[thelightbulbman]

send in feedback! please!

even if you think this does not directly effect you, IT DOES! it is going to make more of a difference than you think. i already can't interact with a friend's blog that has been marked mature for no reason. tumblr's flagging system already has huge issues (either incorrectly flagging posts as mature or explicit, and also flagging content involving trans content of almost any kind) and it will act as a ban for some user's content. the UK law has already been in effect for over a year, and tumblr has been used as normal, so i don't see why they have suddenly decided they want to add an age verification. it's tech companies who can pick and choose to monitor information, this does not seem to be about laws (the law seems to be more of an excuse on why they CAN do it, not why they ARE).

When you submit a support ticket, you'll get an email from the auto responder. You'll need to reply to that email or they assume the automated reply solved your problem and close your ticket.

I would suggest insisting a human address the issues raised in your support ticket when you reply. If you're not satisfied with the answer you get after that, escalate.

ah fuck, so sorry ma’am-

[prince4knights]

knights should let me touch their swords because I'm curious about the craftsmanship, and definitely not so I can flirt using thinly veiled sheath-themed euphemisms

[an-act-of-fire]

what's my kink? hmm i don't know i guess i don't have any

are they gone? okay. you are a knight and i am your childhood friend but the key point is we've been in love for years and years and years and every time you come back from a quest i'm there.

and every time, i wipe the blood from your face and bandage your wounds, and you catch my hand and press it harder over the cloth, and it hurts you but it feels good, too, because it's my hand that's doing it, and because of this quiet unspoken thing between us that will never be because of the oaths you've made to others.

and then one day an enemy of yours tracks me down and i am your one weakness, and you came back to the quiet village and i am not there, and the houses are burning, and you raze every inch of ground between us

but it's a trap (obviously it's a trap) and you are caught and i am there, and your enemy vows to destroy your world as you have destroyed his (and this is how i find out that you are not the good person i thought you were) (and how i find out that i don't care, i'll have you anyway, if we survive this thing)

and then while you are restrained your enemy hurts me just to see you scream, and i won't beg even though nothing has ever hurt this bad, and you are raging against your chains, with this look in your eye that's fear, not rage, because for all your vows i am the only thing you love.

and then you get free and you kill him and you toss his body aside like it doesn't even matter (because it doesn't, only i matter, i am the only thing in the world) and you undo my bindings with shaking hands and you say damn my oaths, i will slay a thousand kings if you ask it of me, and i smile finally with blood on my teeth and you kiss me
