#I always love people saying they can't escape the discourse cuz like #barring incidents of targeted harassment (which does happen) #the reason you can't escape the toxicity is you actively choose not to unfollow/block people #that's why discourse bloggers are so invested in saying blocking them means they won arguments #they need people to believe there's no escape without compromising your principles #also most of them believe they're Truth Coming Out Of The Well To Shame Mankind #when to quote someone I sadly can't remember the url of #they're actually Moron Coming Out Of Left Field To Be Annoying

If you, like me, had uBlock origin block the 'Radar' bit on the right hand side of your old tumblr, you can go to line 50 of the script which is currently the below:

$aside.children().eq(0).css({position: "fixed", width: "320px"});

And change it to this:

$aside.children().eq(0).css({display:"none"});

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”

[ID: tweet from Linn LeBlanc reads: Where were you 49 years [ago] today when @/TheRealBuzz and Neil Armstrong made those historic first steps onto the Moon. Attached is a color photo of an astronaut on the moon. Buzz Aldrin quote tweets it and replies: I was on the Moon! #Apollo11 /]

ok but like the writer is transgender nonbinary and the language used in the play was the preferred language by trans people of that time can we not deny parts of our history because we’ve evolved since then thanks

So fucking much this.

PS, youth of today: you’ll be saying the same damn thing about art from this time before too long, for good or for ill. Terminology will, in fact, change. Definitions will, in fact, shift. It always does, they always do. 

PPS, it is pretty much impossible to overstate how life-alteringly important this movie was to kids who didn’t conform to standard expectations of gender and sexuality, back in the day. Especially when back in the day was the mid-to-late 1980s, when the only queers you saw on TV were neutered AIDS tragedies, Bowie was playing straight, and even Elton John was married to a woman, and midnight showing of RHPS were pretty much the only place that felt like home. It was mental life raft for a lot of people.

I was one of them.

#the queer youth of today has forgotten all its history and is spitting on its ancestors and i hate it (via @gaythreats​)

beautifully phrased

ALSO IT’S A SATIRE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN “OFFENSIVE” PORTRAYAL IT’S MAKING FUN OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF US IT’S EXAGGERATING THEIR IDEAS OF US TO THE POINT OF LUDICROUSNESS THAT’S THE ACTUAL POINT

also you fail to understand just how many, many people were allowed to be queer for Tim Curry and how many doors that began to open

we say this as someone who was in several closets and first saw the film when we were 18 and that was 1981 ffs this film MATTERED

This is for chains of posts like this that when someone says “We should listen to older queers and not act like we know everything because we’re the youngins”, I’m like “Yeah. Totally this. We should listen”.

No honestly I think it's REALLY important that people see this. Literally the exact same post, sans trans people, and it didn't get flagged.

[ID: image in the OP is a reply by telltaletypist reading "if there's one thing I know about being a trans woman it's that absolutely no one gets weird or judgy at us for expressing sexual desire." Image in the first reblog reads "Request community label review. We have determined that your post contains content that would be better suited with a Community Label. While it does not violate our Content Guidelines, a Community Label has been added to your post so that it is only presented to those who wish to view that material. If you think this was done in error, you can Request Review to let us know. Please include a short explanation with your request:" In the space available for comment, the OP has typed in "come on." The image in the third reblog is a post by sounddesignerjeans with the exact same reply and comment, except that "trans woman" has been replaced by "man" and "transfeminine sexuality" has been replaced by "masculine sexuality." A self-reblog by sounddesignerjeans adds onto that post "By the way, this post has been reported as missing a community label by several people and still isn't marked mature. So it's not even that the original post got reported and this one didn't. Tumblr's official stance is that trans women are considered explicit content. demilypyro, whose reblog of that post is the one the screenshot was taken from, has tagged the post "#oh wow". The post has 875 notes. End ID]

This was the vent doodle that has them so damned heated lol.

having to say “don’t eat borax” was not on my 2023 bingo

@the-puffinry

Can’t believe in the year 2023 we have to say: do not consume borax. It will not provide a “parasite cleanse”, it does not combat the “evil fluoride” in your water, and it is not a super mineral. It will damage your organs. Also, it’s not rated for human consumption so frankly, who knows what it’s cross-contaminated with (my personal bet would be arsenic).

Absolutely love when I Google something I've never heard of and find the reason I've never heard of it is because it's been banned in the EU for safety concerns

I used borax on my carpets for fleas. Because it literally eats through their exoskeleton/egg shells and kills them. It made the bottoms of my feet just a little bit hot when I walked over the carpet. Who - who out there comes UP with this stuff in the first place? Like - who's ground zero for 'I must ingest a corrosive salt laundry detergent?'

I use borax to prevent woodworm in my barn. It’s a pesticide, not a nutrient. WTF.
