See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

oiiiii it’s pinned post time

‘Sup heathens. The name’s Kennie. I’m nonbinary (they/them), autistic, bisexual, and a massive fucking nerd. I like metal, cats, gaming, animation, and political advocacy.

As stated above, I tag inconsistently, but I am working on getting better at doing so, both for blog organization purposes and helping other folks avoid squicks/triggers. Potentially triggering content will be tagged like this: #subject cw . Suggestive content will be tagged as #lime , while outright NSFW content (if I post it at all) will be tagged as #lemon .

Right-wingers, radfems, sex pests and their defenders, and people who yell at others for using the “wrong” LGBTQ2SIA+ identity label/flag or consuming the “wrong” type of fictional content/kink material will be BLOCKED.

I have an AO3 account (FSO_Studios), but as of May 2023, almost all of my fics are locked due to anti-AI scraping measures. If you are signed into AO3, you will be able to read them.

If y'all are interested in Edgy Shit™, I have a sideblog dedicated to it at @controlyours0ul. Don’t worry if you don’t wanna follow it, though, bc I reblog everything for it here as well.

That’s about it. Askbox is open in case y'all have questions. See ya!

not me realizing that with tumblr moving the icons to the side, it eliminates xkit, which was situated at the top. what a scumbag move

noooooooope

xkit rewritten, which should be used instead of the shambling corpse of old xkit, lives in the addon bar of your browser! And it handled the new layout like a champ, removing all of the garbage (if configured to do so). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xkit-rewritten/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xkit-rewritten/ehgbadgnkmeeldglkmnplolneidgpbcm

So on my posts about racism or transmisogyny, I often see tags that basically say “I don’t understand this but I’m going to reblog it anyway.” If you see a “social justice” type post that you want to reblog but don’t understand?

Don’t.

I know this goes against everything you’re used to hearing on this website, but listen. Reblogging posts you don’t understand is basically the equivalent of blindly repeating whatever you’re told. Even if you’re right, if you don’t understand why you’re right, you could be spouting utter bullshit and you wouldn’t even know it.

When I see “I don’t know what this means but I’m gonna reblog it anyway” it sends a lot of messages. It says that you care more about seeming right than being right. It says that you want good ally credit without any of the work of being a good ally. It says you’re on my side because I can make a post sound good, not because you actually agree with me on anything beyond the surface level.

So instead of just reblogging that post, save it for later. Like it, draft it, bookmark it, whatever. Go to the op’s blog and skim through a couple of pages, see if you can find some context. If the post is old, you could try asking for context in a non-condescending way. “Is this post referring to something specific?” is a lot better than, say, “Does this even happen? I’ve never heard of this.”

If that doesn’t help, do some more research. Google, search tumblr tags for recent posts on a subject, ask people who have EXPLICITLY stated they are willing to educate. Maybe in the process you’ll find more posts with a similar message to the original, but in easier to understand language. Maybe someone else already added a reply that adds useful information onto the op.

And maybe all of that takes a long time. Maybe, by the time you finally understand what the post was talking about, it’s months old and no longer relevant. Maybe you don’t even want to reblog it anymore. Who cares, fuck that post. You learned and grew as a person. That’s more important than looking good on a blog.

Exclus went full circle.

"I'm attracted to one gender" -> "I am bisexual". Lolgic!

asterosian

“This person is attracted to one gender and is therefore bisexual” Wat

Literally bisexual means attraction to more than one gender

A bigender person attracted to one gender is not bisexual just because a bunch of gatekeeping internet people think the world will end if a multigender person describes their orientation in a less conventional way.

This is… I’m sorry you’re dealing with this OP, this is making my brain hurt. They’re so determined to gatekeep lesbianism that they use bisexuality as the trash bin for anything that makes them uncomfortable. That’s the only explanation for this bullshit that doesn’t give me psyduck style “it hurt itself in confusion” feeling”.
