actually when i was a strapping young dyke of only 2 years old i grabbed hot chocolate from the microwave, which had been boiling this beverage for 5 minutes straight, and spilled it all over me. severe burns but i was a really cool two year old and swagged through it. anyway when i got older my mother told me they had used pigs skin for the graft and so that's what i told my friends in school. ever since then my nickname in highschool had became hotdog skin. only once i was a strong and hearty lesbian did she reveal to me that it was just normal skin not pig skin and they were joking with me. i was out here telling people i had pig skin as an interesting icebreaker my entire academic life. my entire world upturned. ah well yet again i swagged through it. for women everywhere
Reading sports headlines while pretending sports doesn't exist suggests a fascinating world of magic and whimsy.
(inspired by this classic tumblr post)
I keep putting off writing this because I want to go super-long and in-depth but that means it'll never happen, so....
First off, this is to explain, not to justify or approve this state of things.
Basically, ads are allowed to be NSFW, and posts aren't. this is because your posts aren't allowed to be NSFW SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF ADVERTISERS.
App stores (like Apple) put limits on what content your posts can be because they want to be able to tell advertisers that their content won't be next to some random-ass NSFW content. They don't want to try to sell toothpaste next to a closeup of your sweaty balls.
Note that this doesn't mean the ads themselves can't be sexually explicit: There's no reason why they can't, other than app store regulations, and I'm betting any NSFW ads y'all are seeing aren't ones that go through the Apple advertising networks.
Also, there's a different legal relationship between posters on a site and advertisers on a site. Advertisers are going through a network, who has signed some kind of a contract with the site. If they "break the rules", there is a clear legal agreement they are in breach of, and lawyers can go to town. User-created content is different. Despite there being a TOS that we've all supposedly agreed to, the legal binding isn't as tight. It's way harder for tumblr to sue you for what you posted, and it's way more likely that tumblr can get sued for what you posted. So social media sites have to be very careful about what posts they host, but comparatively less careful about what ads they show users, because of the existing legal agreements they have with advertisers/advertising networks.
Again, I'm not trying to justify this state of things, just explain the weird legal context that Tumblr and other social media sites are operating in at the moment. App stores have restrictions, there's a bunch of laws restricting and protecting (to a degree) social media sites, and the complicated interaction between them results in tumblr being a "no porn" site and occasionally having near-nude adverts.
This isn't a contradiction: the "no NSFW" rules are for the benefit of the advertisers, to protect them from you. They are not similarly restricted.
Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is
"wait but if u saw the paperclip why would u just leave it there?" its the adhd. Also if i had put it away then i wouldnt have been able to find it a month later when i needed it. So. Checkmate neurotypicals.
Problem is when the ADHD catalogue is out of date, when you go to check under the couch cushion for that paperclip and it ISNT there, sometimes your brain will just give you a montage of false memories of everywhere you've ever seen a paper clip, like this
yeah yeah the paperclip montage, we've all seen it
internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
