Incredibly alarming that talks of “peace” in Gaza seem to extend no further than a ceasefire. How do you think they’re gonna start off where they left off themselves? Their houses are destroyed, so many have lost mothers and fathers and brothers and children, they still have no clean water and no food. Any area Israel withdraws out of is an area it already knows has been rendered inhospitable. There was even a direct quote by some IOF soldier gleefully stating how he “wasn’t sure Palestinians could go back to their homes.” So what happens when the US “succeeds at negotiating a ceasefire”? Who will be responsible for helping the Palestinians rebuild all that they’ve lost?

I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing

PSA that has been given 100 times already but needs to be said again:

The reason you, gen Z queers, need to be kink positive isn't because you support those kinks. It is okay to be disgusted by them, actually.

The reason you need to support kinksters is because "these kinks are disgusting" is the framework the alt-right is using and will continue to use to outlaw you. They don't think you're any different from the guys at Pride in leather puppy suits. They think your ENTIRE EXISTENCE is sexual. They think you holding hands with someone of the same gender, or existing as a trans person at all, is the same as a straight couple playing tonsil hockey in public.

YOU ARE A FETISH TO THEM. That is all you will ever be to the alt-right. They will never see you as human. When they talk about "our children being exposed to sexual perversion" they don't mean BDSM like you think they do. They mean YOU.

The only way to preserve your own existence is to fight for the right of kink to exist, because the instant kink becomes taboo or outlawed again*, rest assured, the alt-right will become MUCH more transparent about just what they think about your existence.

When you harp on about disgusting kinks and how they need to be hidden or outlawed and how they're harmful and everyone who does them is (insert thing here), you are giving the alt-right the tools they will use to imprison you as soon as they have unchecked power to do so.

THAT is why kinksters have been part of the queer community, part of Pride, from the start. Because the only way to keep our community safe is by truly ensuring everyone has unlimited sexual autonomy so long as the activity is taking place between consenting adults. It's just like how abortion-related laws are the lynchpin for all manner of medical autonomy laws.

The queer community can't stand without kinksters and vice versa. Even if you yourself aren't a kinkster and find them disgusting, like it or not, that is just how it is.

*Sodomy was illegal in Texas until 2003 and the law is still on the books, just not allowed to be enforced thanks to Lawrence v Texas, which SCOTUS has said they have an interest in striking down

"11,078 and counting have died in Palestine. Never stop talking.

Also this is just the surface, do further research to fully understand the situation.

the thing to me about every "likes dont matter reblog more art" esque posts i see every two weeks, especially the idea that people somehow don't know how to or that they should be reblogging posts, is its just.

do you really think everyone on this website is unable put together the thought "sharing this post with others will allow more people to see it"?

"new users don't know how to reblog" new users are made to go through an onboarding process where tumblr tells them directly how to make and reblog posts!

it has nothing to do with whether or not people know about the act of reblogging things. it has everything to do with the fact that the internet has shifted away from small communities of likeminded individuals to "content creators" and their "audiences".

People do not reblog art to their blogs because their blogs do not have followers, ergo they don't have any followers to share your work with so they use their blog as a place to collect things for themselves to look at not to share with others, so every post you make asking people to share your art with their followers makes them go "well this isnt about me".

Their blogs do not have followers because they are not creating posts of their own, which means they are not a "content creator", they dont have an "audience" to gain.

Themed blogs on this website used to be a lot more common. These blogs, while not creating their own posts, acted as central hubs for a particular kind of content on the website, looking through tags and following other people in order to curate their blog with that particular topic. Thusly people interested in that topic would follow these curators.

Nowadays the algorithm acts as the curator for people—you visit your for you tab, tumblr curates you a list of posts from the topic youre interested in. You no longer need to follow curator blogs, you just follow people directly and via your feed. Nobody follows you, why would they?

What's the point in reblogging the posts you like when there's only 3 people who ever like anything you reblog anyway?

THIS is why reblogs are less than they used to be. People know how to reblog, people understand that sharing your work with other people helps get more eyes on your work, and anyone who is following you wants to support your work and help you. But what eyes are they going to get on your work by sharing with their blog that gets 3 likes a month?

So less focus on guilting people into reblogging art, more focus on encouraging the return of making and following curated blogs, imo.
