Hi hello!

I use he/him, it/its, and all neopronouns! In my 20s | I'm just a nerd about most things, and what I'm not nerdy about yet, I'm working on | avatar is by @anonymous-leemur

[verynerdyhuman]

Hi! I’ve never made an intro post but I guess I might as well? So anyway

I don’t use my name online, so just call me whatever. I literally don’t care

I’m a trans guy, but also I firmly believe the gender binary is stupid

he/him and any neopronouns

I am in my early 20s

I post just about whatever I want on here, I don’t have side blogs and I don’t ever plan to

I do tag spoilers for about a month in the form of #media spoilers

General tag list:

#shut up nerd -> tag for my original posts, I sometimes don’t use this

#<3 -> for my favorite posts

#lmao -> the laugh rule tag

#so true bestie -> something I agree with, ranging from human rights issues to stupid memes

#mecore -> something I relate to

#for later -> so I can come back and see what I helpful stuff I found

I also use topic related tags, but theres more than I want to list, they’re generally self explanatory

I also am open to communication here, I’m just a little awkward and self conscious

If you’re still here, have some pics of my family dogs (ID in alt text)

Testing something: who are your favorite canon trans women in fiction?

[madmonksandmaenads]

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.

Day 163/365 of listing something good I saw today:

I took apart my zip-off goth jorts to rebuild them better. Already noticing ways I could do things differently to make them better.

[tlirsgender]

Hello tumblr I am talking about a second arcane character. I think Ekko's autistic. Bro has a time machine that's largely his social interaction defumblerizer. Imagine if every time you were like "oh my god why did I say that" you could just rewind a few seconds

[tlirsgender]

Also neurotypicals can't invent time machines

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be free” men CAN get pregnant and they’re treated worse than women who can get pregnant

I always forget Americans have sinks that kill everything

[nonepronounwithleftboy]

I'm so fucking scared of these things.

[redskyeatnight]

I genuinely don't understand those sinks. Why do they exist? Why is that necessary? What the heck are you putting down your sinks that necessitates that??? Genuinely curious.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I've asked around before and apparently in many areas of the US it makes more logistical sense to treat soft food scraps like cooked vegetable matter as water waste instead of having separate systems for food waste. It's just the easiest way to transport it given the way their cities are set up and how their water system works. This info is very out of date so I don't know if it's still true (I know a lot of US cities have green waste recycling programs these days) but that's where it comes from. It does make sense because the water pipes are the easiest way to get rid of goo without burning petrol by carrying it in trucks, so it comes down to pipe maintenance vs. garbage truck fuel and maintenance, taking into account how close composting facilities are etc.

I've never lived anywhere without a backyard (Australian, not much of a deep city person) so the idea of not having anywhere to compost food scraps was completely alien to me but I see the logic of the Sink Blender.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#thanks for (probably) explaining this!! absolutely baffling#now can someone explain why everyone in the US has a clothes dryer but the same ppl hand wash their dishes??#in Germany clothes dryers are still somewhat of a luxury - even when you have one you'll line dry most of your stuff#but most households do have a dishwasher. Especially once there are kids#is this bc water and electricity are cheaper in the US like with gas? Are dishwashers more expensive (than dryers??) confusing

I'm given to understand that dryers are normalised there because in many areas it's considered at minimum rude, if not straightup forbidden (HOAs baffle me), to line dry clothes outside. I do not know why. Americans just hate to see drying laundry I guess?

Some areas also have a lot of rainfall that makes line drying a pain but that's also true in lots of countries that don't tend to use dryers so I'm not sure it's much of a motivating factor. I'm mentioning it because Americans will if I don't.

maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english

[minothtime]

El problema es, como bien has dicho, la accesibilidad y la visibilidad.

Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.

Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.

A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.

La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.

Casi todo esto se puede achacar al imperialismo cultural estadounidense. El inglés es útil para comunicarse con gente de todo el mundo, pero su omnipresencia sirve de barrera para todos los demás idiomas. Quizás habría que reflexionar un poco sobre por qué coño el resto del mundo tiene que tragarse años de clases de inglés para hablar del juego que le gusta en una red social mientras muchos angloparlantes no se dignan ni a meter un texto en un traductor automático y prefieren pasar de largo.

phil lester is proof to me that it is possible to enjoy being alive. like it is humanly possible he's sitting right there in that clear inflatable chair saying he wants to live till he's 652 because he likes living that much. insane and awesome
