hey hey HEY. when i joined tumblr in the early 2010s i remember a lot of millennials swearing they would never treat the younger generation as badly as they were treated and misrepresented. i’m seeing a lot of you going back on that. stop mocking young people and start remembering you were new to the universe too once
Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.
You’re gonna make stuff again. You’re gonna make stuff you’re proud of. You’re gonna make stuff you’re excited to share. You’re going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you’re stuck in now. You’re going to have awesome ideas, and you’re going to make them into reality. You’re going to create again. You’re still an artist. You’re still a writer. You’re still home to the same passion you had before. You’ll find it again. It’s not gone. It’s just resting. Let it rest. You’re going to make stuff again. I promise.

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches
“you’re just scared your diploma is going to devalue” i’m afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell
I’m afraid they’ll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.
I’m afraid they’ll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.
I’m afraid they’ll become medical professionals who don’t know what they’re doing - and people will die.
The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you’re learning to do doesn’t matter.

If you see the quote “I refuse to share my body with a man who wouldn’t defend it politically” or any variation of it floating around the internet — it was Kat Blaque who originally said it and she would really appreciate it if people gave her proper credit for it but it’s gone viral on a lot of different platforms and most of the people sharing it don’t know it’s from her or choose not to credit her on purpose.
Like I just know terfs are going to be parroting it pretending it wasn’t said by a black trans woman about herself & her life.

“Block this ad” isn’t good enough, I need a feature that directly tells the company “this was so shit that it lowered my opinion of your product”

“when did we all become so performative” idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.

Frothing at the mouth every time I see a sex ed resource that says “use condoms” without any further elaboration. “Condoms prevent STIs and pregnancy in the vast majority of cases when used correctly” but then they don’t talk about what correctly IS
Correct use of a condom means
- Using the right size, because if it’s too big it can slide off or leak and if it’s too small it can break or come off. Condoms usually come in 5 sizes, I’m sure you could find others outside of that as well but in ten years of sex work I found they covered everyone
- Using lube, even if you think you don’t need it. With the exception of oral sex, condoms should always be used with lube, 100% of the time. Most important lube should be applied to the outside but a drop in the tip of the condom before putting it in is also a good idea
- Being mindful that latex is prone to wearing out, being damaged by heat etc. Condoms should be kept somewhere cool, not folded in wallets or sat on in back pockets and should be changed between activities and after about 15 minutes of any vigorous activity. Ask me how I know (a condom snapped on my leg when a client was pulling out, because I didn’t change it when I should have)
- The penetrative partner should hold the base of the condom when they pull out, and should do so immediately after they ejaculate so the condom doesn’t leak or come off as the penis gets flaccid
Bonus: a lot of people think hand stuff can’t transmit STIs. Wrong! If you give your partner a handjob and then touch yourself you can get HPV, herpes (low risk), and infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea
This isn’t meant to be stressful, and the most common STIs are the most treatable - and often curable - but getting gonorrhea in your eyes after a facial still extremely sucks and yet no one talks about the fact that any mucous membrane can be effected, not just your genitals (yes this includes your mouth and throat)
In ten years of doing sex work where I saw 10 clients a day most of the time I’ve had 4 condom fails ever. One was what I mentioned above when it snapped on my leg, one was a client on top of me didn’t get off fast enough after he finished and the condom came off, and the other two were a Glyde brand magnum that was inexplicably twice the thickness of a regular condom and didn’t stay put on anyone so I suggest just avoiding Glyde entirely (their water based lubes also stain fyi). With all other brands correct use = extremely safe
Oil-based lube and latex condoms are also incompatible! Condoms can and should be used on toys.
I’d normally tag nsfw but I never got sex ed in school or at home. Even if you yourself don’t need to use this information, it’s still good in general to know, whether that be for fiction writing or advice to a friend or just to have in your back pocket (which is apparently hopefully not where you’re keeping the condoms). The more you know!

Biphobia in the queer community is a crypto terf psyop and some of yall are not ready to accept it
Aphobia in the queer community is a crypto terf psyop and some of yall are not ready to accept it
Arophobia in the queer community is a crypto terf psyop and some of yall are not ready to accept t
Any way that the queer community is attempting to divide itself makes us a more vulnerable target
They are slowly trying to get you to accept exclusion to even more vulnerable groups.

I’ve been laughing about the Mark Hamill gaygay tweet for six hours
Ben grinding his teeth over this might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Bro. You’re seething over the Mark Hamill gaygay tweet.
Is nobody else going to mention the fact that Mark signs his name as Mar Camel???
