having a favourite animal you're associated with rules because people will send you beast related things and it'll make your day everytime

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

oh shit i almost missed it!

Molasses Flood Day!

all of tumblr: we fucking hate bots

also tumblr:

Hey, I LOVE bots when they’re just here to play with us. COMMERCIAL bots suck.

Hey, I LOVE bots when

they’re just here to play with us.

COMMERCIAL bots suck.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

i can't be the only one who's just straight-up ... bored with women hating themselves. my mom keeps lamenting to me how upset she is about her gray hair. my friend stares at her laugh lines every day in agony. my sister loses sleep over the horrible unbearable thought of looking fat. and every time these women i love open up to me, i can't help but think ... then stop staring at yourself? stop drowning yourself, narcissus, and just fucking live your life instead of sitting in front of a mirror obeying cosmetic corporations' lies. just stop it. this is getting ridiculous. you're too smart to be falling for this bullshit. "oh no but these men who hate women told me that if i'm ugly i'm worthless!" girl if you actually believe that then good luck. but i am getting worse at being supportive of people whose nonsense worldviews keep them trapped in pain. stop looking at yourself start fucking living i am pleading you deserve to be happy and it is stupid that you disagree

Someone in the comments said "you really said just stop being insecure" and yes :) make an effort to stop spiralling about your looks, challenge insecure thoughts and stop doing things that lead to you feeling insecure.

I always come back to this: Do your insecurities match your morals?

Do you truly believe that having belly fat makes people disgusting? That the media should have final say on how you feel about yourself? If you don't believe it and there is a mismatch between your moral beliefs and your gut reaction to your appearance...

Then yeah. Stop being insecure. It's work but it's worth it.

Promoting @sarkywoman 's tags as that's a perfectly distilled mantra:

I am not the exception to my beliefs

I’m not lying when I say “I am not the exception to my beliefs” has rewired my brain.

happy birthday fingers in his ass

hold on let me google something

what the fuck

happy molasses day to all who celebrate

i NEED someone to talk to about The Thing I Enjoy <- says the person who shuts down and says nothing when they get the chance to talk about The Thing They Enjoy

A good video that accurately explains why stud is a term used for black lesbians only, not white, not poc, BLACK

I’m not even going to say please. Respect black identities and labels, they are ours for a reason.

Imma need this reblogged by white queer tumblr users since it’s mostly yall who wanna use it or want to know why you or other white people shouldn’t/can’t use the term “stud”

[video description: a tiktok made by @/callmekellin, responding to a comment that reads “what does being black have to do with being a stud …….”

the person in the video is a fem presenting black person in their car. they say “i love that you asked, lemme give you a little history lesson. full disclaimer, no hate to the commenter, i’m just giving everybody a bit of a debrief! now firstly, let’s talk about where the term stud actually comes from.

back in the days of slavery, when people still used to refer to us as animals, black people that were taller were known to be stronger because they could do more work. so down in the south, they started comparing us to horses. that then coined the term[s] studs for men, and stallions for females. like megan thee stallion. it was really big in the south. to compare us to animals.

but enough about the bleach brigade, let’s actually get back into the history. as you know, or if you don’t know, black women were not able to enter the working class until well into the 1960s. before then, there was a small populous of women that were still working, even though they technically were not supposed to.

‘how was it possible?’ these women would be dressing more masculine—using binders in order to help put down their chests, dressing more in a male form—and because of the fact that most bleach bandits believed that we, as black women, were already masculine, they got away with it. thus coining the term, in the black community, “stud.” because all the dudes knew, but she was one of the guys. so what did it matter?

any time the chlorine community would come up to black people and be like “hey! is that a female working!?” the guys would just save her and be like ‘nah, that’s a stud right there.” it was joke to them because they all knew. but as times changed and slang did too, the black community still keeps it close at heart. and yes, it was rooted in racism, but we’re taking it back for ourselves.

so once again, if you’re not a black, masculine lesbian that wants to be called a stud, you’re not a stud. you’re a masculine lesbian. even a butch if you want to. i hope that explained it!” end video description.]

Lesbians, during this cultural backslide into conservatism and fascism, PLEASE BE MORE LESBIAN!! Have plenty of good lesbian sex, butches and studs be more masculine, fuck the “girly pop” masc shit (if it’s not your thing of course) trans mascs take the plunge and start T. Femmes flirt with and date more butches, have your name engraved on their carabiner.

The fact that I still see people using the term "non-men" when defining who's allowed in lesbian spaces...is really something to think about. I know that in 2018 we were all panicking trying to write a definition of lesbian that included nonbinary people, but we should have realized just as quickly that defining lesbianism based on MEN wasn't a good solution. "Non-men loving non-men", "non-men who love women"...people identify with the lesbian label because they lead lives that decenter men. And all I hear is you talking about men. Yes, some lesbians are transmasc. Yes, some lesbians are uncomfortable being referred to as women or feminine. We still don't have to resort to using what we are not to define what we are.

Identity is not a science. It is socially determined. Sometimes, social constructs don't make complete logical sense. Sometimes, the history of a term matters more than its literal definition. I know it's not a satisfying answer to say that people can just feel aligned with womanhood or aligned with the lesbian community or whatever, but that's how it is. We don't have to define ourselves only by terms that are easily understood by other people. We're allowed to just exist as we are.
