Streamers Say 'mods' The Same Way A Medieval Lord Would Say 'guards'

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

so few people understand the art of the pseudo nap

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

im not immune to the “faulkner had his hair bleached in season 3” propaganda

tsv was huge for casual trans rep and i'm not kidding like. yeah this guy is trans but more importantly he's a religious fanatic and a greek tragedy waiting to happen. yeah this girl is trans but more importantly she's the widow of wounds, doomed to repeat the cycle of violence she's trying to end. yeah this politician is non-binary but more importantly they're defined to their core by their deep, potent sense of loneliness. et cetera

I think one of my favorite things about the Silt Verses is no matter how many times it's said I still can never remember who is the Linger Straits and who is the Peninsula. Like which one won. Which one Val took over. Which one most of the story takes place in. Literally forget everytime and everytime have to try and relearn it with context clues.

Part of that is me being dumb. But I like it because it also highlights how fucking pointless their war is. How much it truly is just a way to fuel nationalist pride and hopefully get some "free" sacrifices out of the deal to help ease the blow.

I engage with fiction in a normal way. don’t look at my blog

"I love him, I think he should have a hearty meal and a stable environment where he can safely and comfortably work through his emotions" and "I am going to inflict influenze on him" are statements that can coexist

Idk why, even tho I know they can use magic, but it never hit me that they could turn into actual hellhounds x3
