the princess is being so fucking patient right now
the princess has to remember this is not a normal amount of knowledge about a site's moderation intricacies for a person to have she has to remember that it's actually normal for a site's userbase at large to not have to know these things
okay so primer
content labels
IF the mature content label says "potentially" then it was applied automatically, and every reblog will also have it applied automatically.
If it DOES NOT say "potentially" then then poster labeled it herself and it will not do that
If it DOES NOT say "potentially" and ALSO does not have the "hide" button next to it then it is the special tamamoland exclusive mature content flagging they gave me that put that on all of my posts no matter what separately from the actual content labels
blogs can also be flagged as mature which is a separate thing from content labels AND a separate thing from the special tamamoland mature flagging
you cannot manually add content labels to a post if you did not add content to the post
sexually explict content
NOT the same thing as mature content
tumblr's definition of sexually explicit content is specifically visual depictions of sex acts, genitals, and fluids like cum
this does not include non-visual depictions of anything, nor does it include nudity
importantly, none of that actually matters because who and to what it applies to is entirely arbitrary as you have seen
posts that are flagged as sexually explicit are fully hidden
they can arbitrarily terminate your account for explicit content which is itself arbitrarily applied to posts regardless of content and also does not actually require you to have any posts that are flagged as explicit and also appealing a post that is flagged as explicit can itself get your account terminated
individual reblogs of a post can be flagged as sexually explicit regardless of whether any content was added to the post, which tumblr likes to do to me
terminations
you are supposed to have a chance to correct or explain infractions before being terminated. this will never happen
if the blog name has -deactivated after it then it was done manually by the user. it may not have this if the url was at the character limit
if the blog name does NOT have deactivated then the account was terminated
if the user was TMA there is a good chance that instead of the account being terminated, she will get an extra special type of termination colloquially known as a nuke
posts can also be nuked, which removes all the media from them and deletes the post and all reblogs of it, all of which can be done individually as well. they have the ability to do this to posts instead of nuking accounts. keep that in mind. they can also do each part of the nuke independently, e.g. just hitting certain images on the post, or just deleted all reblogs
an account being nuked has all of its posts nuked. all of its posts are deleted. all reblogs of those posts are deleted. the pfp and header and such are all deleted. all media on any post it made and any reblogs of those posts is deleted. your presence is fully scrubbed from the site
any sort of termination removes all of your replies and prevents further replies on your posts
nuking does not hit posts that are in other people's drafts or queue, which is why you will still occasionally see them. the media on them will be deleted regardless, however. the post button won't always work, you will have to post them from the editor or let the queue reach it automatically
they do not tell you what content was in violation unless a specific post got nuked which gets you a url. they only actually use that option if you are harassing a transfem, though
there are no bans. ban evading is not a thing because there are no bans to be evading
sometimes they don't even bother to send you a termination email
whenever you see nazis and suicide baiting and other shit like that going on for weeks or months, just remember: tumblr staff isn't so swamped with reports that they can't nuke a random transfem within 10 minutes of account creation
appeals
you can appeal your termination if you were terminated somehow for harassing a transfem
pretty much exclusively
they reinstated the fucking kiwi farmer
the zendesk ai treats pretty much every support ticket from a terminated account as an appeal request so good luck getting to talk to a person about it
other bullshit
you can also be what's known as "shadow banned" which quietly disables most of the site's social features, such as messages. and replies. and being able to access your inbox. and showing up in people's notes. there is no indication of this other than its effects
tumblr can through some automated means terminate the accounts of every TMA person specifically that is following a specific user with like 99% accuracy. they've done this twice that i know of
the user guidelines don't actually mean anything because they end with a disclaimer that says that tumblr can arbitrarily choose when and where and how they get enforced and can take disciplinary action against accounts for any or no reason, meaning you can be nuked for literally no reason or be able to do anything you want with little or no repercussions, entirely at staff's whim

happy pride
Happy pride everyone! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
A pride flag was one of the quilting projects I really wanted to get done, and it works great as a scraps buster.
This is roughly 40 by 65 centimetres (about 16 by 26 inches) and quilted in the ditch with thin cotton batting. I wish I'd used rainbow thread for the quilting, but I didn't have any on hand, and the goal was to not buy any new materials.
Under the cut: diagram and process.
Im always like "i will not add my two cents. i will not add my two cents" but i cant lie the pennies are getting sweaty in my hand

couples outfit idea
thinking about the time a former housemate said to me "hey I put these box fans in the living room because it's hot" while gesturing to the fans that I was actively sitting in front of because it was hot. and I said "okay thanks." and she kept standing there like she was waiting for something else so I said "am I blocking the airflow? do you need me to move?" and she said no I'm just letting you know they're here, in the living room, for circulation. and I said well yes, I did put that together. I am enjoying them. thank you. and she looked confused. so I asked "am I meant to do something with this information or are you just informing me?" and she said no I'm letting you know they're here because It's Hot In Here. she seemed a bit aggravated, and her emphasis seemed deliberate.
it took me asking three more times before she finally told me she wanted me to leave the fans where they are instead of moving them to my room or something. and I said oh! I had no intention of doing so but thank you for letting me know what the expectation is.
about a month later she brought up that conversation as the moment it actually clicked for her that I Am Autistic And Will Not Magically Intuit The Unspoken Request You Didn't Ask Me.
I have observed enough allistic communication to know that generally, if somebody points something out to you that you can already see or are already clearly interacting with, they are making an indirect request. but as I don't know what the request is, the only way forward is for me to guess (and likely get it wrong), or prompt the allistic to tell me clearly what they need.
however, allistics don't realize they do this, so asking them to say the unspoken surprises and confuses them. this is not their fault. allistics can be quite emotionally fragile and perceive directness as confrontation, so they habitually rely on indirect speech and coded language to preserve others' feelings. this is why they may find it difficult to be direct, even when asked. I have found that with enough gentle encouragement and reassurance that they are actually helping you, you too can achieve successful communication with your allistic friend or loved one. :)
I've seen more than a few replies saying "I'm not autistic and I wouldn't have gotten that either / your roommate's an outlier / nobody could have gotten that." fair enough, it was a pretty specific situation and it seems she genuinely didn't communicate well. as I often run into issues with indirectness, it scanned to me like all the other times I haven't been able to read between the lines. so let me give a few more examples of this phenomenon that may be more common:
"You left your dish in the sink." > the hidden request is "please clean your dish, preferably right now." since it's phrased as an observation, I don't immediately intuit the request and instead think my housemate thinks I forgot about it. so I reply "oh, I know." housemate thinks i'm sassing her and gets annoyed with me. only then do I realize she was asking me to do something about the dish in the sink.
"There's hot soup on the stove." > said to me while I was preparing a sandwich. the hidden request is "please eat the soup." since it's phrased as a statement of fact, I don't immediately intuit the request and instead think my mom thinks I didn't see the soup. I did see it, but I wanted a sandwich instead. so I reply, "I saw it, thank you." mother thinks I'm being rude and gets annoyed with me. only then do I realize she was asking me to do something about the soup (and furthermore is offended I am eating a sandwich instead).
"Your bread is on the counter." > the hidden request is "please remove your sliced bread from the counter and store it elsewhere." since it's phrased as an observation, I don't immediately intuit the request and think my roommate thinks I meant to store the bread elsewhere and forgot. when I reassure her I know it's there, she gets annoyed. only then do I realize she wants me to do something about the bread on the counter.
"You can turn up the heat, you know." > said to me while I was scrambling eggs slowly over low heat. this one really confused me because of course I knew I could turn up the heat, but I had no reason to as I was only cooking for myself. when I ignored the statement because I was focused on my task and had nothing to say, my mother added, "the eggs will cook faster if you do." sure, I'm aware of this too, but I don't want to cook them faster. I won't get the texture I want. when I reply, "I don't want to, though," mom thinks I'm being rude and gets irritated, then asks me how long I'm going to take. only then do I realize she was telling me to cook faster (because she wanted the stove), instead of simply informing me I could.
"There are donuts in the break room." > a more benign example, but similar outcome. once again I hear this as a piece of information being given to me, and thank my coworker for telling me. when I don't immediately leave my desk to get donuts because I'm finishing a task, my coworker hovers and says, "well? aren't you getting some?" only then do I realize there was actually a hidden invitation, and I was supposed to respond to the hidden part and say, "I'll come get them in a minute," or "no thank you I don't want any."
as I said, I've learned over time this is something many allistic (non-autistic) people do (as well as high masking autistic folks who have learned the social rules and wear themselves out following them rigidly). despite what I've learned, my default autistic response is pretty much always to take the words at face value (especially when I'm distracted or multitasking), before remembering I have to translate them. and while I can make a decent educated guess in most cases, sometimes I just cannot and simply ask, "what are you asking me?"
unfortunately, many allistic people suffer from an inability to take words literally just as much as they struggle to speak literally, which can further obfuscate communication. this is why I emphasize gentle reassurance that you are not criticizing them, but asking them to help you, a person in need, by clarifying their intent. people generally like to be helpful and I have had moderate success with this approach.
ONE MORE THING: I have a bias! this is very US-centric, as that's where I live. some cultures around the world are extremely direct, so autistic people in those cultures may not have the specific issue I describe here. however, every culture has its own set of social norms that include a complex combination of nonverbal visual cues, body language, tone/emphasis, and countless other unspoken expectations for what's considered polite or "normal." the double empathy problem doesn't evaporate in cultures that value direct speech. autistic people just face different problems. thank you and be good to each other
