Pls feed me compliments I am starving
DISCLAIMER:: I do still currently engage with the Sandman as a fandom. I am aware of Gaiman and much of my interaction right now is me processing the news and what it means for me. I do not financially support Gaiman's work and would prefer he die in a hole somewhere. For more information on how I'm deciding to deal with this situation please watch this video. Thank you for understanding.

I have the best taste in movies and you're not allowed to tell me otherwise. I definitely haven't forgotten most of the movies I've seen and definitely remember the plot of all of them and didn't have to google/use trailers to remind myself for some of them. Not at all.

DANGIT I FORGOT LAST NIGHT IN SOHO. AND THE ROAD TO EL DORADO. AND ROBIN HOOD (1973)

"Anything is fine as long as it's legal" is not the sex positive position you think it is. Anything can be criminalised. Anything can be decriminalised.

In some places it's illegal to consensually choke your boyfriend. In other places marital rape is not a crime. Develop a moral compass instead of expecting your government to tell you what is right and wrong.

No actually it's not weird for me to focus on my own sex life on my own post when I'm talking about how the things I personally participate in are criminalised in my own country. This post is SPECIFICALLY prompted by anti kink and anti sex work laws in MY country. It's about MY life. Like yes it applies to other countries to so please participate but do not act like me talking about my own fucking life on my own fucking post is "a bit weird". For fuck sake.

This is the fastest anyone has blocked me lmao

Bringing the choking into it actually makes it better by bringing in dignity of risk and how the same governments who love pestering people over their sexual activities also tend to loooove legally interfering with people's choices "for their own good." Which is also shitty a lot of the time.

Then don't do it. This isn't about your preferences it's about adults being criminalised for consensual sexual activity.

Some sounds you probably haven’t heard in awhile!

I miss technology being clickity clackity! It was very stimming and enriching

Also much more reliable than touchscreen/membrane buttons, which is, incidentally, why the space industry still mostly insists on analog controls.

(Except a Certain Company whose CEO seems to think safety considerations serve only to hinder innovation…)

Anonymous asked:

How many people have you blocked? Asking because I'm curious

Honestly sometimes I just search “terf friendly” “radfem friendly” “pro ana” and various racist/sexist dog whistles to go on a blocking spree so it’s probably up in the hundreds at least

I also learned to stop wasting energy on long arguments by just clicking block whenever I see a personality I don’t wanna deal with

I don’t think everyone I block is a bad person, cause shit ain’t that simple, but if the stuff they post is bad or exhausting or just a trigger for me personally and I don’t gotta see ‘em, why let ‘em have the mic, you know?

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!

For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!

Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!

Literally, this helps us! Even if you loan it and return it the same day or day after. (Especially titles important for us to keep ie queer titles, books from minority authors and more).

My library doesn't have a max loans per card for physical books either. So what the heck grab a couple, walk around for a bit and try them out and return the ones that didn't hook you.

National Library Week is this month, April 6th - 12th! Go show your appreciation!!!

I hope all my followers know, by now, that Autism Speaks is a eugenics organization.

(I'm not censoring the organization's name, in hopes that this post will reach beyond the Disability Rights community).

Now that it's April, you are going to see a lot of fundraising campaigns for A.S.. If you really want to make life better for autistic people, I suggest donating to the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, instead:

Time for one of those perennial, seasonal, reblogs.

Maybe we can do for Autism Speaks what we're doing for Tesla, these days. Spread the word as far as you can among your neurotypical acquaintances.

tumblr users' full inability to recognize their behavior in the abstract manifests in this very funny thing where if you see a post that says "you should stop being shitty about people's kinks and positing them as primary producers of violence" it will have 150k notes and if you see a post that says "[x controversial kink named in specific] is play pretend and not a primary producer of violence" it will have 300 notes get water filter screenshotted a dozen times and have people telling OP to kill themself in inbox for the next two years

big fan of urban fantasy and similar genres because theres nothing funnier to me than a setting where youve got people fighting with enchanted blades and bows and hopping around doing magic tricks but you can also just hit a demon with your car if you feel like it

There's this very specific urban fantasy trope which is "processing the newfound horrors and wonders of the universe in a 24/7 diner" that gets me every time

fuck i can’t believe i wasted my entire life being moved by art and beauty and the indomitable human spirit ugh i should’ve been making money through internet scams

being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"

my hobbies are Colours and Shapes but, like, in a mature, sophisticated adult way
