hey if i tag my own post as sensitive content myself does that mean minors can’t interact with it? bc if that works that’s fucking amazing it’ll effectively halve the awful comments on discourse posts? i could have actual adults only discussions? is this the future?

also send me some rare super lefty gay communist memes like right now there’s a cute nb i haven’t talked to in a while and everytime we talk we end up sending memes but my commie meme stash is running dry like help a girl out a crush is on the line

anarcho-bulbasaurism:

banning the star of david pride flag from a march due to your anti-zionist leanings is wrong on so many levels, not to mention the fact that it buys in to the narrative that apartheid israel somehow has the sole claim on jewish identity, which it wants you to think it does.

if somebody wants to wield an israeli flag at an explicitly anti-zionist pride march then yeah, tell them to take a hike, but equating the star of david with the actions of an apartheid state is no better than equating the muslim moon and star with the saudi monarchy. incredibly short-sighted.

just saying, the inability of radical leftists to differentiate between jewish identity and zionism continues to be incredibly harmful to jewish leftists and palestinians alike. apartheid israel doesn’t own the star of david for christ’s sake.

People: “If you think about it, lesbians are punished by heteronormativity for their unavailability to men”

Same people, somehow: Insist that there’s no way that asexual people are oppressed “just because they refuse to have sex with anyone”

thinking about that ex is terrifying bc. they were the only new friend ive made since becoming disabled. i haven’t met anyone new in 2 fucking years. except someone who left me partly bc of disability stuff. i hate this

im still mad about an ex from a year ago. we dated when i had DID and she did too but like. technically i never asked her out, it was an alter. she was kind of dating my eating disorder/god complex type thing, idk don’t make fun of me, and i was? along for the ride i guess? in retrospect this was not a solid foundation for a relationship. and i checked their new facebook they have a new name, pronouns, look, partner, everything. and i’m pretty sure all of the alters i ever met are gone and idk i’m still in love with people who don’t even exist anymore. this new person might barely remember me at all anymore bc their DID and memory problems were genuinely that intense. idk i’m still sad and in love.

I’m gonna be That Guy again and say that making “destroy gender” jokes is culturally insensitive. 

There are genders that have existed for thousands of years in nonwhite cultures across the globe and in some societies these genders are held as a vital sacred part of the community. Intentional or not, you’re insinuating that these genders are inherently bad and should be destroyed when you mean the white gender binary. 

I know that gender is a construct, but keep in mind there were societies that had this construct created in a healthy manner. There are several out there who are clinging so desperately to a gender that was nearly destroyed for fucking real by white supremacy, don’t you dare try to act progressive while making a joke that was almost or even became a horrific reality to some.

in light of this tumblr “safe” mode, i want to talk about my own experience with this website. im almost 19 now and i joined tumblr when i was 14. here are some details of how tumblr was a part of my journey as a lesbian:

  • i literally discovered that im gay from tumblr. it’s a kinda cheesy story but i was 14 and on tumblr on a sideblog of someone i followed that was dedicated to pictures for her future wife. i was 50 pages into looking at lesbian wedding photos when i realized that straight people don’t Do That
  • the first person i came out to was via tumblr. i told my best friend at the time who i met on here through the “fan mail” we had then and i was sobbing typing out the message. receiving her support and having someone outside of my town to talk to about it (who was also struggling with her sexuality) meant the world to me 
  • i first learned about lgbt history and activism through tumblr. it’s the reason i became interested and invested in social justice and obviously this education continued way beyond tumblr but it gave me my start coming from a school that, like many other high schools, erased the existence of gay people in its curriculum.
  • it introduced me to almost ALL of the gay content that i consumed. the tv shows, movies, books, singers, webcomics, etc that’s had gay representation that’s helped me come to terms with my sexuality over the years, I almost solely found through tumblr. 
  • most importantly, it gave me gay friends. im from a conservative town in florida and before my first year at college this year, i had no means of making gay friends or really any friends at all (because i was hated as an out lesbian in my town) in person. I’ve made so many gay friends on here who were INSTRUMENTAL in me accepting myself and still are so important to me to this day

im 18 now but all of the things listed above happened when i was ages 14-17. i know that this website is awful at times but for gay youth who are completely isolated from any sort of lgbt community, it can be really REALLY important. @staff you’re not protecting anybody, you’re literally harming gay youth and you need to fix this shit now.
