Tl;dr In the latest of tumblr being a transphobic cess pool, tumblr user predstrogen was banned for her transition timeline being "sexual content" a few days ago. She had remade a couple times over the last few days and had each ban swiftly blocked again. She ultimately made a vent post on her last blog to be banned that was a loony tunes ass hope that tumblr CEO Matt would die in an incident with exploding hammers. I'm paraphrasing but it's the classic hope for an entirely implausible/impossible form of harm that people on here engage in all the time. This is, according to CEO Matt, an Actual Actionable Death Threat and whilst the phrasing is ambiguous he either called the fucking FBI on her or at minimum threatened to.

Over the last day a lot of trans women and fems responded, justifiably, in variations of "dude what the fuck @/matt*" and were also banned. Some within fucking minutes of posting, so you know this man is actively watching for any criticism of him to throw a tantrum over.

*not the same Matt, not trying to tag some random ass dude just can't recall the actual username rn lmfao

This is all kinda wild but I'm really like. Struck with the knowledge of the CEO of this website would think that it's okay for him to have a personal blog where he openly talks about being the CEO. It's so overwhelmingly obvious it could never be a good idea. They were always going to eat you alive??

a pastor is protestant and a priest is catholic :) that is the difference!

Wha really? I don’t know why I always just assumed it was a regional word difference instead of an actual difference in religion. Thank you for explaining 💜

#chibi #sketch #guess that’s why I never heard Pastor much #oh I bet Reverend is a Southern Baptist term then #oh the more you know #thank you for explaining #and being kind #was raised southern baptist but got sent to a Catholic school #I used Pastor instead of Priest cause I like how the word sounds more #Pastor sounds gentle

I have a binah fictive now. I am pretty sure your writing is at least partially responsible for this

(for those unfamiliar with system terms, a fictive is a headmate/alter/whatever-term-you-prefer taking after a fictional character)

good.

When Harry was touring in Brasil and Argentina, Brad gave some girls he followed tickets and they were a little known to fans of those cities so when he followed them, and they thanked "a london" or "british" guy for the tickets, Harries put 2+2 together and thought Harry was using Brad'd ig to scout girls in each city. Now those same harries think they might be dating and others think Brad is the one hooking up with said girls. It is basically like the lad crew in 2015.. some people think he is the one getting girls to Harry or the one hooking up with the girls.

Oh so you mean they put 2 and 2 together and got 5 I see i see lol

my god these people….

The predominant religion among Latin cultures is Roman Catholic, and Mexico has a largely Catholic population. I imagine Arturo would most likely have a Catholic background and attend private school [involuntarily]. While he does sport a school uniform, he tends to break dress code pretty often. He's also most likely to be the shortest person in his class, which makes it a lot easier for him to sneak out of school.

Ohh okay that makes sense!

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

sometimes we just need someone to pay enough attention.

for the longest time i had been trying to read The Lord of The Rings. everyone had sung the praises for it, over and over. i'd seen clips of the movie and it seemed like it could be fun, but actually reading it was fucking horrible.

my parents had the omnibus - all the books squished into one big tome - and in the 4th grade i started sort of an annual tradition: i would start trying to read TLR and get frustrated after about a month and put it back down. at first i figured i was just too young for it, and that it would eventually make sense.

but every time i came back to it, i would find myself having the exact same experience: it was confusing, weird, and dry as a fucking bone. i couldn't figure it out. how had everyone else on earth read this book and enjoyed it? how had they made movies out of this thing? it was, like, barely coherent. i would see it on "classics" list and on every fantasy/sci-fi list and everyone said i should read it; but i figured that it was like my opinion of great expectations - just because it's a classic doesn't mean i'm going to like experiencing it.

at 20, i began the process of forcing myself through it. if i had to treat the experience like a self-inflicted textbook, i would - but i was going to read it.

my mom came across me taking notes at our kitchen table. i was on the last few pages of the first book in the omnibus, and i was dreading moving on to the next. she smiled down at me. only you would take notes on creative writing. then she sat down and her brow wrinkled. wait. why are you taking notes on this?

i said the thing i always said - it's boring, and i forget what's happening in it because it's so weird, and dense. and strange.

she nodded a little, and started to stand up. and then sat back down and said - wait, will you show me the book?

i was happy to hand it over, annoyed with the fact i'd barely made a dent in the monster of a thing. she pulled it to herself, pushing her glasses up so she could read the tiny writing. for a moment, she was silent, and then she let out a cackle. she wouldn't stop laughing. oh my god. i cannot wait to tell your father.

i was immediately defensive. okay, maybe i'm stupid but i've been trying to read this since the 4th grade and -

she shook her head. raquel, this is the Silmarillion. you've been reading the Silmarillion, not the lord of the rings.

anyway, it turns out that the hobbit and lord of the rings series are all super good and i understand why they're recommended reading. but good lord (of the rings), i wish somebody had just asked - wait. this kind of thing is right up your alley. you love fantasy. it sounds like something might be wrong. why do you think it's so boring?

#thanks for reminding me this happened #writeblr #warm up #i don't think this story translates well to the page #IRONIC!!!! :) #but yeah man i read the Silmarillion before i read the hobbit #the omnibus didn't explain what it was and i figured - you start at the beginning and then you read from the beginning #that's how books work #how was i supposed to know #EDIT IN THE TAGS: hi i think i worded this in a confusing way #the omnibus had ALL the stories in it - the silm #the hobbit #and all of LOTR #they just put the silm in the front so i thought logically it was the first book #that's how an omnibus usually works after all - the first book in the series is the first book in the tome #to be fair i GUESS the silm takes place “before” the hobbit????
