The people who wrote this law should be in jail. The people at Facebook who shared private information should be in jail (and yeah, they should have known Facebook isn’t private, but that’s beside the point). A 19 year old who made a choice about her own body doesn’t belong in jail.
Fuck
When I say Meta (Threads, FB, Insta) is not your friend I Fucking Mean It.
the main problem i have with america is that nothings old as hell there. i cant be so far away from a castle it damages my aura
man people really just say stuff on here huh
Noooo haha don’t spread racist ideals and colonizer propaganda by idolizing white european aesthetics above all else and denying the life and accomplishments of native peoples on their own lands
People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greaterSanta Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.
You see this?
That’s not a river. That’s the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).
This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.
Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.
below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930’s of one branch of Phoenix’s canal systems:
Also have the “Montezuma Castle,” if you need a castle:
I don’t need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.
I will say I get the vibe that a lot of peoples interest and support for strikers is a bit too much for a vicarious ‘burn it down’ thrill, rather than for the actual goals of a strike.
Like UPS has agreed to come back to the table and it is very possible they will concede to Union demands and avert a strike. And if that happens (so long as the union does not make concessions on its key demands) it’s a good thing. It’s a victory for the laborers. It is the same ultimate conclusion that a strike would intend to produce except without the workers having to go on (not so great) strike pay for a week or two.
actually you know what that’s exactly it i would rather someone add 5 parantheticals after every sentence than use tone indicators it’s 1. accomplishing SO much more in terms of clarity 2. extremely funny to look at depending on how they’re used
observe:
“is this real? /gen” — i thought /gen meant “general” for ages. i would not be able to understand this on first sight a few years ago and is thus ineffective
“is this real? (genuine question)” — i fully understand this without issue
“is this real? (genuine question) (can’t tell) (very realistic) (looks real) (scary) (photoshop?)” — is not only incredibly clear it’s also very funny to read all of these thoughts stapled together while also in their own parentheses. it’s also the most useful because now i can actually address all parts of what they are asking me with as much specificity as BOTH of us need
this is so nostalgic. tumblr rolls out something terrible. everyone complains. it breaks several people’s dashboards. for some reason it only rolls out to a few people at a time with seemingly no warning. the community collectively and immediately searches for a browser extension that undoes the change. i know we’ve all gotten burnt out on all social media sucking but this is genuinely The tumblr experience. everyone who hasn’t gotten it already gets an achievement. welcome to the club
actually, im glad this post got notes
everybody in the notes going “but THIS TIME it’s an objectively terrible choice/a bigger deal/a cash grab!!”: first time in the clown car huh
We need kink at pride because “kink” isn’t just kink. “Kink” is:
That boy wearing jeans that are too tight
Your neighbors and their “friend” that lives with them
Having a beard and wearing a skirt
Wearing any kind of choker
Literally anything else they decide goes against the “norm”, and it can be literally anything. That is why we need kink at pride.
No we don’t. Respect ppls boundaries. If respect isn’t normal anymore what will be normal then? Anything, no matter how it impacts or scars other peoples lives? Kink doesn’t belongs to pride.
Look around you. Do you see where “No Kink At Pride” has led? Being transgender is illegal now. Exactly what people said would happen. You know what’s going to be next? Being gay is going to be illegal. Because being gay is not “respecting straight people’s boundaries”. They don’t want to see you. They want to kill you.
Unfriendly fucking reminder that the reason Republicans are getting so far by criminalizing drag and trans people is because they convinced the general public crossdressing is a sexual act (i.e. kink). Unfriendly fucking reminder that to homophobes, queer people existing is a kink.
We need to stop “respecting boundaries” of people who 9 times out of 10 are homophobes and transphobes who want us dead.

Leave us not forget that KINK WAS THERE WHEN PRIDE BEGAN.
You know who rocked up to the first Pride parades to help protect the marchers? LEATHER DADDIES.
You know who helped organize events and bailed people out of prison when they got hauled away by the cops for being queer in public? THE LOCAL S&M CLUBS.
Y'all, kink doesn’t just BELONG at Pride, in all its’ fabulous permutations and presentations. Kink is PART of Pride. It’s built into the motherfucking DNA of the event.
“Kink doesn’t belong at Pride,” my assless chaps. You might as well say that Martha P. Johnson (RIP) never wore drag.
Get the puritanical boot out of your fucking mouth and wise up.
@staff this is truly a basis for me to never open tumblr desktop again so if that was you guy’s aim congrats, you nailed it!!!! Now if you wanted to keep “what makes Tumblr unique” you have never failed better
