You have the option to turn on and off asks, submissions, DM’s, and anonymous messages. For CC’s I would highly recommend disabling all of these options until you’re open to chat with fans.
Your blog automatically has a section for posts you liked and who you follow. It’s ultimately useless, because nobody will see your likes and follows anyway on their dash. Turn it off because we all value our privacy here.
Tumblr is unlike Twitter and Instagram because it is mainly a sharing platform. Reblogs and comments in the tags are highly encouraged. Likes only add to the notes but are not an effective way to engage.
Download xKit to make your life easier. It’s an add-on that helps with accessibility on Tumblr.
You also have the option in settings to disable “endless scroll” on your blog and dashboard. This helps a lot with accessibility, since endless scroll can cause lag on your dash, unlike how it is on Twitter. Once you disable it, your blog and dashboard will be sectioned off into pages instead. It can help you keep track of where you are.
If you want to keep your blog organized for people to browse through, tag your stuff. Use personal tags, fandom tags, warning tags, etc… They’re extremely helpful for everyone involved.
Speaking about tags:

Reposting and claiming other people’s content is highly discouraged!
There’s no ratio here. There’s no proper comment section. You ain’t gonna ratio anybody. However you can publicly mock them and drag their ass on their own post if it’s funny to do so.
Boundaries are extremely important! Keep that in mind as you navigate this website. This is not the place where you can just tell everybody about yourself like on other social media platforms. Having privacy and boundaries helps more than anything else. Since we’re all effectively anonymous here, feel free to block tags and people if you feel uncomfortable.
The most important thing is to have fun. Good luck and stay safe!
This was drawn very fast and very badly colored in but… I had an idea, so I drew it.
Man asking in anonymous so I could use the third person to jokingly reference myself calling you an inniter was a mistake
OH SO THIS WAS YOUR FAULT
Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.
Some fantasy and science fiction books with bisexual, pansexual, or otherwise multisexual protagonists.

Also, I swear that every time I make one of these I forget something. This time it was In the Vanishers’ Palace by Aliette de Bodard. It’s awesome, go read it.
If you want more queer science fiction and fantasy, you can visit my queer SFF database.
I’m not transcribing all the text, but you can find the titles, authors, information on TW, etc beneath the cut.
When possible, I’m linking to my database of queer books. The page for each book includes the synopsis, content warnings under spoiler tags, and links to reviews from queer readers.

I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post.
So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.
do not fear! copy the link to the article
go to sci-hub.se (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)
slap the article link in there
So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
And now the bard’s items! Click for better quality, and the other tables are on my blog. More to come!

oh my god this is TERRIBLE advice? holy shit?? this person might mean "force landlords to go through the legal process and threaten eviction" but like. AVOID AN EVICTION AT ALL COSTS. an eviction on your record will have massive repercussions and will make finding housing very difficult!
what you should do (in the US at least), is:
look up your local (generally state level but this can vary) laws about how much notice is required to vacate. if you have no lease (and even if you pay no rent), you are generally considered in most states to be on a month-to-month lease. act accordingly. if you've signed a lease, you are not required to leave unless you have broken the lease per its own terms. this includes if the place is being sold. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE.
ensure the landlord is taking the actual legal steps to vacate - i.e. serving the correct paperwork. a text message is not correct paperwork. an email is not correct paperwork.
only communicate over text or email. do not make any agreements over the phone. if you MUST, record the conversations after checking if your state is a one party consent state.
DO NOT LISTEN TO A LANDLORD FOR LEGAL ADVICE. they have every reason to lie to you. research your own area's laws. many places have free or low cost legal clinics or assistance for those at risk of eviction. look on your city or county website.
and most importantly AVOID AN ACTUAL EVICTION AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!
I’ve done some Twitter threads on this topic, so thought it might be nice to do a Tumblr post too. One of my pet peeves is when people act like adult fantasy (or sci-fi for that matter) is just a straight white dude thing and that diversity only exists in young adult fantasy. That’s such a disservice to all the authors of marginalized identities currently writing adult fantasy!
Authors and books below the cut, including links to Goodreads. I’m not providing trigger warnings (if I make the post too long Tumblr starts freaking out about it), but you can use the search function on Goodreads reviews to find more specifics.
