Read enough stories featuring characters who very notably wear glasses, and you start to notice certain trends in romantic scenes.
ok send help. I found this reddit post with a bunch of links to a ton of really cool articles on asexuality and resources and that kind of thing (X) but OH MY GOD. I’M DYING. One of them was a link to an article on what sexual attraction actually feels like (X) and NOOOOOO JUST NOOOOO PEOPLE ARE JUST WALKING AROUND LIKE THIS??? Y’ALL ARE CRAZY
tumblr should lock the poll feature behind an unskippable video explaning the concept of participation bias followed by a detailed breakdown of tumblr user demographics. this website is not a representative sample of like. anything
It's a representative sample of the gay weirdos who live in my phone

SEVENTH GRADE???? SEVENTH?????? 12-13 YEAR OLDS DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES????????????????
HELLO????? YOU WHAT????
PLEASE say sike. please god i want this to be a very elaborate joke so badly. does it not just come up in general? like casually from adults in your life?
I think it depends on where in the US you live, I grew up like an hour from the Canadian border, and the Main route from Quebec to the only good beach in the North East goes through my hometown, so knowing about Canada was a thing. Formal education where we talked about current events was 4th-5th grade. (I didn’t think England was an actual place that still existed until around then. Little me thought everyone died because of Plague and only the Pilgrims who came to to US survived. Little me was kinda stupid)
ITT: people around the world discover the effects of half of America’s politicians waging an actual decades-long policy war against public education
achievements of 2021:
Despite never watching a single episode, I absolutely love it when riverdale is trending because ill inevitably be subjected to some of the most batshit insane things I’ve ever seen be broadcasted on public television
DYLAN O’BRIEN & SADIE SINK : ALL TO WELLSHORT FILM.
Sometimes I can still hear their voice
Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity
The lack of video content is what kept us here… I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.
Tumblr’s not asking for my phone number. It’s not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don’t have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.
I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it’s a blogging platform with social features.
sorry theres not a single person on this website id pay to follow idc if we’ve been mutuals for six years, if you put up a paywall we’re divorced
Whoa it has been a while! I have some pretty good news for those who'd like to snag a copy of the Anthology!!
I have 10 physical copies left!
I youre interested in snagging one please shoot me a message on here!! I will be taking inquiries until July 24th!
The book will come with surprise freebies! And I'm willing to ship worldwide!!
If youre interested in a PDF copy, I will also have those available until the 24th!
I feel like this needs to be said because I keep seeing stuff like ‘if you rb from me too much i’ll block you’ in people’s bios.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REBLOG FROM ME AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU WANT!! My tagging system was developed specifically because I know what it’s like to have a hyperfixation and want to sift through every single post about that thing. I tag every post for that exact reason. You aren’t bothering me. The notifications don’t bother me. It’s all fine.
Seeing someone reblog a whole string of posts from me, especially when it’s clear that they clicked on one of my tags and wound up going through 27 pages of it, delights me in EXACTLY the same way as seeing one person kudos all of my fics in one fandom. I did good! I supplied the content they got hyperfixated on tonight! Good job me!!
im going insane thinking about this newborn alpaca fucking look at it
Newborn Alpacas be like:
shipment officers, gently nudging Ever Given with their 8 tugboats: Ever Given move out of the way please so you don’t block the entire global trade
Ever Given, her lamplights enormous: you SHOVE ever given? you shove her hull like the big boulder? oh! oh! no commerce for human! no commerce for human for One Thousand Years!!!
you have a problem with minor making boundaries on who they want to interact with? like seriously the purpose of carrds is to establish boundaries, like cranky that you couldnt interact with someone?
i have a problem with minors willingly placing so much incredibly personal information in a single place on the internet where literally anyone can see it and especially with the culture that has normalized this to the point where it is expected and anyone who doesn’t want to share that information is automatically viewed as suspicious.
you have 13/14-year-old kids listing all sorts of information that makes them vulnerable to predators (including the fact that they are 13/14!!! that makes them vulnerable!!) and that can make it easier to narrow down their real life identity. that specific tweet didn’t talk about location but i have seen children list their location and what school they go to, and that genuinely terrifies me. i’ve seen lgbt teenagers making public tweets about how they’ve been kicked out by their homophobic parents and need a place to stay in a specific city—you are literally broadcasting the fact that you are young and vulnerable and your family isn’t looking for you!! ANYONE can see that! that’s fucking dangerous!!!
and the idea that you should list your triggers all in one place is also incredibly dangerous, like i know the point is to let people know what to avoid but what you’re actually doing is giving potential bullies or predators a ready-made list of things they can use to hurt and harrass you. all of the things that that person listed as “basic info” is stuff that can be used to target you. it lets other people know you’re part of an in-group, yes, but it also puts a target on your back. i’ve gotten racist hate messages, homophobic hate messages, rape and death threats, and i’m fine because i’m an adult and i’m not online that much, but it still takes its toll and i cannot IMAGINE being 13 and opening yourself up to those things online because everyone is now expected to list their race and sexuality and fucking trauma and medical diagnoses for everyone to see as soon as they click their profile.
the problem with saying “xyz people dni” is that only the polite and respectful people will actually listen and not interact with you. the people who you should actually be worried about, the people who actually actively want to hurt you, will use the information that you have willingly provided them to target you. do you think putting “terfs and fascists dni” on your carrd is actually going to stop terfs and fascists from interacting with you? if they want to hurt you they will hurt you, expecting them to respect boundaries just because you have publicly stated them is leaving yourself extremely vulnerable.
make boundaries by using the block button liberally, or like i don’t know setting your fucking profile to private. protect yourself by valuing your own privacy and not actively providing people who might harm you with the exact tools and ammunition they can use to do so.
the idea that i could only be upset by this trend because i ??? want to disrespect people’s boundaries???? is so fucking bizarre. i made that post because i am legitimately terrified for these children’s safety. not to be all kids these days, but LITERALLY kids these days are sharing their face, their identities, their entire lives, with the entire internet on a public platform without a second thought, and expecting their peers to do that as well, and it has real repercussions.
