fascinated by tumblr’s new trend of placing a Mature label on every single post that acknowledges, however obliquely, the existence of sex and sex byproducts
idk i just think it’s really funny that you can have an url like ‘sonics-anal-gape’ and that’s completely fine but if you say the word 'cum’ the moderators will descend implacably from above and crush you like the fist of god
i also think it’s funny that this:
is an approved advert that appears regularly on my dash and cannot be filtered or blocked, but this:
requires a warning label lest it corrupt the innocent minds of the tumblr userbase
I thought you meant actual canvases, for physical painting, because yeah? I have done both. I have re-used physical canvases because they are expensive, and a pain to stretch, and take up space, and its not like I’m selling them or anything …
dude oh my god. like theres no question that theres a transphobe working for staff doing this shit and theyre just letting it happen
like theres just some fuming raging terf in the moderation team harassing any single post regarding trans women and the staff of the “queerest place on the internet” think shes too much of a pal to actually deal with
UPDATE staff sent me this message and removed the flag. hopefully they really are working on the unfair flagging of trans posts and itll get better in the future but idk.
(the buff col sanders image wasnt nsfw it was a fully clothed image of col sanders drawn to be really buff that i edited to say “every terf that interacts w this post will die in a car crash within 3 days” or something. i added it after the flag and removed it eventually)
another update if you see something thats sfw get flagged you should dm @/humans apparently theyre willing to work it out. unfortunately not the best way to fix terfs mass reporting posts about trans women but hopefully you can get some of the unfairly flagged posts resolved.
It completely blows my mind we still have oil painters. It feels like the height of luxury to have the joys of impressionism, modern art movements, and then people doing this the same as they ever were, making paintings that could be taken out of an art history textbook if you forget for a moment that mason jars might not have looked exactly like that
OP this is the sexiest work I have seen in the form of oil, please accept my desire to gnaw fondly upon your canvas like a wild beast as the compliment it is

Hello Tumblr! I’m Jabbage, I’m making a game called the Beekeeper’s Picnic. You play retired Sherlock Holmes trying to assemble the perfect picnic for Watson and solving cosy mysteries! Since this is Tumblr I need to tell you that you can decide the direction the relationship between Holmes and Watson will take - friends? found family? Queerplatonic partners? Romantic partners? Also there’s a dog and you can tell him he’s a good good boy. You can play an extended demo for free, and the game is currently funding on Kickstarter. Thanks for checking out my project! <3]
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library’s complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i’ve used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you’re already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.
Now see, this really pisses me off (the “kids are resilient” thing, not your response to it) because there has been study after study about what actually happens!!!
If the kid receives support during/after the traumatic event, they get stronger.
If the kid does not receive support during/after the traumatic event, they get fucked up.
True resilience in kids has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been the result of the support they receive.
