Everyone seems to have an intro post on their blog but I don't so... Here's mine? I've been here for a few months, I should probably have one.

Hi! I'm Meerkat. I'm non-binary, my pronouns are they/them/that bitch. I'm 23 years of age and I'm French Canadian (I speak poutine tabarnak)

I'm using Tumblr pretty exclusively to interact with the Ghost fanbase, I came here from everyone on AO3 saying they also post here so I can and will repost fanfics and whatnot.

That means there can and will be 18+ stuff on my page. I'm not about to go police the folks who follow me but for fuck's sake, if you're a minor, don't interact with that content if your page explicitly says you're a minor???

I post about the ghoul costumes, my own headcanons or cool pictures I found. Sometimes I post about some Ghost-related sewing projects I worked on but I have like MASSIVE imposter syndrom about my work and I don't want to inconvenience people by making them look at my stuff. But I'm sure that's a universal experience for people who create literally anything in fandom space.

Anyway if you wanna talk to me about other stuff, that's cool too! I listen to a lot of other bands, I'm a huge nerd and I love animals.

Idk what else to say so... Yeah maybe I'll update this in the future if I find something else.

for any of the writers here, there’s a new site that i use for my writing. they have pretty strong stances on ai and say they’ll never weave generative ai into their site and they believe that ai generated content should not overtake human voices

you can connect your ao3 to it and it’ll have a drop down menu with all your existing works, so you can directly add a chapter or make a new work. it copies the html and takes you straight to ao3. it has many other handy features regarding the actual writing portion, formatting, spell check, find and replace, etc

i’ve been using it for a little while and love it but i haven’t seen many people chatting about it so, :)) it’s called ellipsus <3

#I've heard great things about ellipsus

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.

Okay, so, the alternating HV and FH symbols in the Caramel video were binary code, translating to “DAMOCLES”

And the image shown after the “code” was this sword hanging by a thread above a crown.

I’m speechless and sad is an understatement.

can we reintroduce “disturbing” back into the popular lexicon in place of most uses of “traumatizing”

“This experience puts me in a worse mental state and my well-being will be compromised…”

  • Discomfort: “…until the stimulus is removed; there’s a chance I will have forgotten about this experience by tomorrow” (“I got rained on, I need a hot shower”)
  • Distress: “…for the rest of the day, but probably no more than a week; I may require some level of care and social support to make it more bearable” (“I had to sleep in the freezing rain without shelter, I might need to take a few days off work”)
  • Trauma: “…for months or years, potentially forever; this experience may have fundamentally changed part of who I am and I will need to dedicate time and resources towards recovery and healing” (“I lost some toes to frostbite and every time I see my feet I am reminded of the time I thought I would die”)

Frothing at the mouth every time I see a sex ed resource that says "use condoms" without any further elaboration. "Condoms prevent STIs and pregnancy in the vast majority of cases when used correctly" but then they don't talk about what correctly IS

Correct use of a condom means

  • Using the right size, because if it's too big it can slide off or leak and if it's too small it can break or come off. Condoms usually come in 5 sizes, I'm sure you could find others outside of that as well but in ten years of sex work I found they covered everyone
  • Using lube, even if you think you don't need it. With the exception of oral sex, condoms should always be used with lube, 100% of the time. Most important lube should be applied to the outside but a drop in the tip of the condom before putting it in is also a good idea
  • Being mindful that latex is prone to wearing out, being damaged by heat etc. Condoms should be kept somewhere cool, not folded in wallets or sat on in back pockets and should be changed between activities and after about 15 minutes of any vigorous activity. Ask me how I know (a condom snapped on my leg when a client was pulling out, because I didn't change it when I should have)
  • The penetrative partner should hold the base of the condom when they pull out, and should do so immediately after they ejaculate so the condom doesn't leak or come off as the penis gets flaccid

Bonus: a lot of people think hand stuff can't transmit STIs. Wrong! If you give your partner a handjob and then touch yourself you can get HPV, herpes (low risk), and infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea

This isn't meant to be stressful, and the most common STIs are the most treatable - and often curable - but getting gonorrhea in your eyes after a facial still extremely sucks and yet no one talks about the fact that any mucous membrane can be effected, not just your genitals (yes this includes your mouth and throat)

In ten years of doing sex work where I saw 10 clients a day most of the time I've had 4 condom fails ever. One was what I mentioned above when it snapped on my leg, one was a client on top of me didn't get off fast enough after he finished and the condom came off, and the other two were a Glyde brand magnum that was inexplicably twice the thickness of a regular condom and didn't stay put on anyone so I suggest just avoiding Glyde entirely (their water based lubes also stain fyi). With all other brands correct use = extremely safe

Oil-based lube and latex condoms are also incompatible! Condoms can and should be used on toys.

I'd normally tag nsfw but I never got sex ed in school or at home. Even if you yourself don't need to use this information, it's still good in general to know, whether that be for fiction writing or advice to a friend or just to have in your back pocket (which is apparently hopefully not where you're keeping the condoms). The more you know!
