Futhermore: “tumblr” as you experience it is defined entirely by whom you’re following. If you think tumblr doesn’t focus enough on recovery or female artists or Jason Momoa, follow some recovery/female artists/Jason Momoa blogs, and tumblr will change.
THIS. People are always going on about “tumblr is so toxic” like there’s a singular tumblr experience and we’re all helpless to escape it. UNFOLLOW PEOPLE. If someone’s putting bullshit on your dash, just unfollow them. Follow new people. It really is that simple. Tumblr is what you make it.
this was in North Carolina in response to Samuel Oliver-Bruno being baited by ICE into leaving his sanctuary church. Samuel was taken from Raleigh to George to Texas and has now been confirmed as deported. His wife is medically ill and his son still lives in NC. Here is a link to how to support Samuel and his family: https://www.sanctuaryatcitywell.org/help
discourse posts making fun of ace kids for saying some cringey stuff are honestly so gross. like, when i first realized i was asexual, i was all about those silly memes about how i would rather eat cake than have sex. up until that point, society had made it very clear that sex was the best thing that could ever happen and that i should be always concerning myself with how to have it. which, of course, wasn’t something that i wanted.
and then for the first time, people were telling me that, no, i didn’t have to make sex my top priority. i could make mac n cheese and shitty horror movies and cake my top priority. and that was a Big Deal to lil asexual me. yeah, some of the stuff i said was pretty iffy and maybe even a little problematic, but damn! i was just a teenager expressing their newfound identity and trying to be proud of something that all of mainstream media was telling me i should never, ever be proud of.
so, you know, maybe cut those kids who are always going on about how cool it is to be ace little bit of slack?
People are allowed to be proud of their orientations and it doesn’t have to cater to you, ffs people
