society demands hyperfemininity from trans women, then if we do it wrong we're mocked and belittled and if we do it right we're "reinforcing gender stereotypes"

if you're REALLY lucky the state will help you pay for a surgeon to cut open your face and re-arrange your skull so that you stop making cis people uncomfortable by existing

I've never seen anyone talk about this like this. Most people I know laugh at the idea that you can be traumatized into hating reading.

"You can't brute force your way through a trauma response" really hit me. I went to the library recently because I wanted to finally get better at reading. As I attempted, I couldn't process any of the words and I struggled a lot to not break down into tears. I can't remember if I eventually told anyone, but I was too ashamed to say anything to the people I went with.

I decided to time myself when reading this. And just the screenshotted stuff. It took me 40 minutes to read it. And it will take me another 40 minutes to fully understand it, because when I read I have to reread times (and make notes) to remember even just pieces of what was said (you dont understand, a lot of people need to reread to fully understand. When I am done reading, my mind it blank and I don't remember any of what was written - not the facts, not the jokes, not anything.) I usually have to reread twice. Taking two and a half out hours of my day to do something that exhausts me and brings me no joy when existence in general is exhausting - I just never did it because I was always burnt out anyways from getting up, from breathing, from being around people or from being alone. And I assumed it was just something wrong with me. But knowing the system is designed like this on purpose, I feel relieved and also even more deafeated. Because I think this genuinely confirms that I will need some kind of accommodation if I'm going to want to read and actually remember/learn what I read.

This was really good to read because even though I am burnt out, it was worth it. It validated that there really is a system that made reading traumatizing on purpose, and it wasn't just my fault for hating reading as a child. It also made me feel kind of powerless, and a lot of shame for feeling that powetlessness bc I assume people are going to think my lack of reading is just some excuse, but thats more for me to deal with and not an issue with the author.

🛠 Version 1.5.17 🛠 Howdy Ranchers! :wave: There's only one notable fix in version 1.5.17, and we want to extend (and encourage!) a huge thanks to our former Tech Lead, Rob, for taking the time to get this particular bug fixed for us.

As we hope you all know, we're gearing up to launch our Kickstarter soon, and hopefully we'll be able to welcome the full team back then! Thank you all for your patience in this tricky time for the studio, we're not giving up on Paleo Pines yet either. Lots of love, The Paleo Pines Team 💚🦖

yk it is actually so funny that they said tumblr is chill now because they probably have seen all the discourse that goes on on twitter and realized that we're just talking about them kissing on the mouth without starting a weekly civil war over it

If you write stuff like this you deserved to be attacked on sight.

‘Woke fillings’ should land you with a 18 month ban from electronic devices.

I, uh, I can, um, I would, y'know, like

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

into great silence

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

YOUR MUTUALS DO NOT HATE YOU TUMBLR JUST SUCKS MORE AT 10

reylo was probably THE worst thing to happen to star wars. just had to drool over a genocidal 6 and help encourage the derailing of an entire trilogy. no luke skywalker shouldn’t have killed him bc it would have gone against his morals but he should have phoned a friend

all for a man whose number one personality trait is toddler temper tantrums

they were supposed to be the main focus of the trilogy and kylo should have just been a bug they SQUASHED

Don’t make me put your ass in the sealbarrow

why the hell did they write it this way

Do not ask for whom the pussy willow pops. It pops for thee

These are so ADORABLE…🥹🌿💐

oh… HIM boba…

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

it is so funny to me how i started learning english on my own age 10 because the manga i was reading was turning so so so bad i went to fan content to cope with how shit it was. and 15 years later this pays off as my boss tells me i'm an essential asset in the team as the only fluent english-speaker.
