She is wearing a fancy blue and white bathrobe/smoking jacket and holding a comically small cup of coffee. She sits dramatically in an armchair in front of a fireplace and says “This world belongs to bisexual furries. The rest of us are just trying to get by.” /end description]
Are straight white people okay????
People like this exist. Interesting.
this story has a part 2
I...have so many comments I want to make
like how all the people this bitch obviously considers to be fat are the ones wearing the devil’s colors
or how she compares this ridiculous load of bullshit to a ten-thousand-year-old cultural tradition
but honestly
I hate that so many places will automatically convert :P into
like what is that. That’s not what I wanted to convey at all.
:P means

LG is the only company that gets it at all
Thank you for your service, LG. You alone understand. My apologies to anyone using your service who tries to sent this to anyone using any of the other services.
The Outer Worlds – Official Announcement Trailer
Obsidian finally releases a new game, I might actually break my “no pre-ordering” pledge for this one. @thespectacularspider-girl you have any thoughts on it?
I try not to be hyped up about video game trailers any more but I’m going to break that streak because the BDE in this oh my god
The quirky old guy waking you up, asking if you’re feeling all right, feels like a callback to Doc Mitchell in a way, like, ‘remember the good Fallout? Yeah this is like the good Fallout’
They have a theme and it’s political and they’re telling us upfront - individuals vs faceless corporations, corporate branding taking a place over - is that not what Fallout is now? A load of branding pasted over something mediocre and that’s what they’re making the central conflict of their small-studio not-Bethesda game? The goddamn audacity. Plus, immediately indicating that people who think ‘games shouldn’t be political’ can fuck off
The absolute crunching on Bethesda after their Fallout 76 fiasco. Bethesda hobbled through their launch, stumbled tragically as bad reviews came in, tripped over a canvas bag, and thousands of customers’ private details spilled out of their pockets. And then Obsidian arrives and puts down a trailer. For a game that’s the same aesthetic - capitalistic branding juxtaposed against a crapsack world with funky creatures in it. Goggles and weapons and midcentury styles. But we know Obsidian can write. Obsidian can design satisfying narratives and memorable NPCs. Obsidian’s game looks way better than the Oblivion zoom-in conversation tech Bethesda is still using. Obsidian’s characters can emote to pull off jokes. Obsidian’s creature designs are fresh and interesting. They can make the Fallout we wanted, not a rehash, not an empty open world that throws franchise pieces at you and pretends to be an experience.
Bethesda just got done showing us they assume we’ll stay on their nuka-cola teats forever because they put a Vault Boy on it, fell on their own face, and Obsidian waited til they were done and stepped forward and put down a trailer for a well-animated vintage-style character-based anti-corporate shooter and I am so excited
If we’re all going down I'm going the way I lived, making shitty memes in the face of peril.
This is a MASTERPIECE
if you run a NSFW blog or post NSFW content, here’s how to export your blog
EXCUSE ME, but lemme break it down for you guys. The MCU has been going on for 10 YEARS. Within those 10 YEARS, no movie has EVER been nominated for a Golden Globe until now. Not one.
*googling* “it better be black panther”
“…well, alright”
Salt.
die mad about it
So, a few of us are wrapping up a service to auto-migrate Tumblr accounts to a new stable platform. Built with scalable cloud infrastructure to carry us forward with our “explicit” content.
Hey y’all— I know the folks behind this! They’re professional developers and dedicated to making a safe hosting space for blogs that tumblr wants to purge.
Update:
In a brief sentence several paragraphs into the essay, she revealed: “I didn’t have the ‘insider information’ I claimed but rather blind faith in a story that kept slipping and changing and revealed itself to mean nothing at all. I wanted to feel my workplace and my world were safe, untouched by the outside world.”
“There are few acts I could ever regret more in this life,” she said, adding: “To Aurora: You have been on my mind and in my heart every day this year. I love you. I will always love you. I will always work to right that wrong. In that way, you have made me a better woman and a better feminist.
“You shouldn’t have been given that job in addition to your other burdens but here we are, and here am I asking: How do we move forward? Not just you and I but all of us, living in the gray space between admission and vindication.”
It’s easy to say believe victims until it comes knocking at your door and Lena, when put in that difficult situation? She turned immediately to victim blaming.
I don’t know how she keeps getting a platform. Now to act like, through all this, there is a positive outcome of being a better feminist??
we ran out of tinsel toward the bottom of the tree and my husband described it as a pussy out kinda look and i’m gone
I always knew AfterEllen.com was cryptoTERF trash but looks like they’re really showing where they stand now.
I don’t know how long this has been in the works but the last week of their Twitter profile is enough:
As well as supporting meghan murphy they are really pushing the idea of trans women as male predators. Miranda Yardley is an English trans woman who repeats TERF talking points for them and was very well received for opposing updating the Gender Recognition Act in the UK. The reference to Stonewall UK also suggests that the new staff are completely in bed with English TERFs, who have links to US Evangelical funding.
Stop supporting After Ellen, the name has essentially been bought out to promote a fascist agenda which wants to remove all trans people from existence and then work on doing the same to the rest of the LGBT community (whether individual contributors admit it or not).
Yeah afterellen was bought out and no longer is an independant website. No surprise they’re terfs bc thats the kind of agenda straight men controlling lesbian websites love 2 push
Yah. Past AE peeps are NOT impressed with what’s happened, what with now being so openly transphobic, as well as literally erasing ALL work from authors who are trans-inclusive and all articles that spoke positively about trans people in any manner whatsoever.
Thank you @ritualofthehabit and @hrefnatheravenqueen for elaborating!
Miranda Yardley is one of the most viciously, maliciously unpleasant people I’ve ever had the misfortune to speak to.
I’ll be sure to avoid their content.
Remember: Since they don’t like “TERF,” the new term is FART: Feminism-Appropriating Reactionary Transphobe~
For as long as I remain on Tumblr, I’m just gonna tag anything TERFs say as “fart noises.”
Did y'all see the rules Facebook rolled out? If y'all thought Tumblr was going Puritanical….wheeeew
Wait no what’s the tea
Holy shit, facebook too??????
You asked for Kravitz
heck
Hell darling, hell
Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:
As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.
Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that.
Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult.
If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there.
If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably.
We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more.
Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations.
Be good to the bab, so one day the bab can be good to you.
raise your babs well and you won’t get put in a old folks home that smells like pee.
