For new followers

Editing again in 2024 lol. Info about content warnings, general beliefs, etc below the cut.

(Tagged as fotv bs juuuust to make those posts easier to find)

Trigger/content warnings

If you need a specific warning for some type of content let me know, and I'll do my best to trigger/content warn. I currently tag "ed cw" for stuff about food/body image/weight/etc and "spiders" for things that I think are likely to trigger arachnophobia (including non spider bugs).

I now also tag "child abuse" exactly written like that. That said I might fail to tag this one just bc of my own personal history making my brain not flag posts correctly so like. Especially on this one feel free to message me abt posts I missed.

I inconsistently try to tag other disturbing content but if there's something you blacklist, please tell me and please tell me a specific tag you prefer.

Contacting me

Anon should be on, but it may not be accessible on desktop due to my privacy settings. In addition, submissions should be on, messages should be open.

I tend to assume anons are asking in good faith unless they're obvious reason to think they aren't. (Like the gold star lesbian ask, or particularly egregious "gotchya" attempts) So! Feel free to inform me of anything you're nervous about via anon, I get it.

If nothing else works, I think @ ing me should, or rbing a post from me directly.

Misc Tumblr Stuff

I'd just like to say clearly, bc I know some ppl on Tumblr are weird about this: I don't keep track of ppl unfollowing me. I don't take offense when people unfollow me. I don't need notice/notification when you unfollow, and even if I make a certain type of post and then immediately 5 people unfollow, I'm not gonna post like "good riddance you couldn't take it" bc I'm not gonna assume that post is necessarily why people unfollowed. (Or notice at all, probably) (I'll only ever say "good riddance" in response to someone telling me why they're unfollowing if it's bc they don't think trans people are people or some shit)

I'm also not even likely to take being blocked personally unless I'm told why (or again, I probably won't notice). I block people for very little because it helps me curate my online experience. If I say something you think is fucked up, you're gonna have to tell me if you want me to take a hint, bc I don't take unfollows/blocks as hints.

My original posts on my blog are mostly rando personal text posts which ramble and go on too long, including ones about sensitive topics. Nowadays I just use the reblogs controls to handle reblogging my stuff. Bolded here bc this used to say not to reblog some stuff.

Values

Here's a non-comprehensive list of shit I believe in no particular order, so that people who don't want to interact with me and who I don't want to interact with have an easy chance to rule me out:

Trans women are women, trans men are men, nb trans people are trans, sex is a social construct, as is gender. Neopronouns are fine, medical transition/dysphoria aren't necessary to be trans. Biology is not destiny- trans women are not just "naturally" more aggressive or predatory than cis women, and are more likely to be the victims than aggressors, statistically. Transmisogynists, terfs, and other transphobes not welcome.

Related to above, please do not handwring about trans healthcare being less vital than other health care at me or on my posts. I'm on insulin and that is a lifesaving medication, but medical transition can also be lifesaving and the problem with our access to insulin is never gonna be that other groups get the healthcare they need. (This is based on experience)

Race is both a social construct and very real bc it is an entrenched social construct. There is no such thing as reverse racism. Black lives matter. Color blindness doesn't make things better. Racism is systemic. I'm white, and nothing else in my identity changes that. For every aspect of my identity I am oppressed for, there are black people with the exact same constellation minus my white privilege.

You have to give the land back eventually. Indigenous people are still having a genocide committed against them in the US and other countries.

Fully decriminalize: drugs, sex work, immigration.

Prison/Police/ ICE abolitionist. ACAB.

I'm anti-diet, pro-fat, pro health at any size. I will probably block you if you add anything pro diet or even hand wringing about "healthy" food or "junk" food or what a "healthy" weight is to my posts or reblogs. That's not bc I think you're irredeemably a bad person or anything if you do that, I just can't deal with someone just adding that to my stuff. If you want to speak directly about it, you can contact me like my above instructions say, and the "assuming good faith" does apply to anons about this as well, in general.

Capitalism is not just the natural way of things and it's very bad actually.

Class and race are very linked. You cannot fully understand either within our current system without understanding them together.

Anti car, anti lawn. Fuck HOAs.

"Peggle make phone calls" has become shorthand for "fuck it, whatever" for me but no one ever knows what im talkingabout and it's also longer (longhand?)

my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she's too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn't read my file because it explains that I'm not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it's impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn't believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she "looks fatter than that". So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?

[undead-moth]

My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.

My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.

There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.

Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.

Genuinely, I think the most publicly visible AI advance so far this year is how thoroughly and abruptly the "image generators can't do legible text" problem has beem fixed.

For those who haven't been paying attention, this is a recent ChatGPT output. It can do this sort of dense sensible text in images totally one shot, so don't rely on bad text to identify AI images any more.

[crypticspyder]

Was the text also generated? was it generated before, and given as an input, or was it generated with the image?

[not-terezi-pyrope]

The text was its own invention.

Here is the entire interaction that produced this image:

I've seen other people do much more sinister things with this! You can produce 100% realistic fake screenshots of news articles, tweets, that sort of thing, if you can convince the bot it's kosher to do so.

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

clinical medicine is simple, basically the way it works is 99.999% of doctors don't know anything at all, so they only treat the 10–15 most common problems in their specialty. this might sound bad, but actually it's better, because 99.999% of patients don't have any complex medical problems anyway, which we know because they've never been diagnosed with anything except the 10–15 most common problems in the relevant specialty, because in order to be evaluated for something else they would have to be referred to one of the 0.001% of doctors who occasionally know something about some other condition, but they can't get that referral because they obviously don't need it because they've only been diagnosed with simple problems that the other 99.999% of doctors evaluate. so as U can see it's really about ensuring every patient gets the best possible care.

pjackk being brought back is incredibly funny but also not a great look on tumblrs part like why can't u do this for the hundreds and hundreds of unfairly banned trans women and black people. lol

[pjackk]

They say 1 apple a day keeps the doctor away but this is how the health care system trys to fuck u since apples dont just grow on trees u have to prove u are even worth the apple in the first place via Job/Serfdom

[dogpuppy]

He is my princess diana

[unthinkingclunk]

i at least know pjackk came back for a while because i noticed that icon was visible on a reblog of one of his posts, then i inspected his profile and it turned out everything was in its right place. he did not post, however. as evidence you can find a couple of posts i reblogged straight from him within the past day or so, which would have been pretty difficult to do if his blog was gone the whole time

Ah! thank you for letting me know! I missed it until he was gone again so I didn't realize.

I think it's cute when depictions of our solar system include earth's moon. Like yeah sure the moon's invited. We just like her

I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written
