–Bernie is the only presidential candidate that has never voted against LGBTQ+ rights & has always voted for same-sex marriage legalization

– He is pro-choice “ we are not returning to the days of back room abortions, when countless women died or were maimed. The decision about abortion must remain a decision for the woman, her family, & physician to make, not the government.” -Senator Bernie Sanders

– Pro-Gun control , he agrees that people should have the right to bare arms in the case of self defense or hunting but nobody needs a bazooka to go hunting. he is for strict limitations on the purchasing of guns & getting a gun license.

– Free health care to everyone. though this wont be a big deal for people with higher wages, the majority of americas is lower middle class & by cutting down a monthly bill can help alot

– raising minimum wage to a living wage $15 , anyone with kids or in general should be able to see their families & friends instead of working 2 jobs to barely live

– by raising minimum wage we will be lowering poverty rates in america , & we do happen to have the highest poverty rates.

– Free or almost free education in all public schools, plans to substantially lower student loan payments for everyone & plans to make all public colleges free , giving everyone the right to education that they are able to obtain

– free or very cheap access to internet for everyone, for research , school , etc. without hidden rates etc.

– gender equality in the workplace, consisting of equal wages & making it illegal to deny someone work for their gender identity or sexual orientation.

I’d propose Wednesday, September 9th as the day. That’s one week after the update, one week to give it a try, one week to show the staff that we’re not just overreacting to change (the way people are apt to do on the internet) but are serious about not liking the way they’ve changed our blogging experience. That also gives us a week to get this post around the site: long enough to spread it around, but not so long that people forget that we’re going to do this. Maybe set a reminder on your phone or computer so that you don’t forget. I’ll be posting in the tag #updateboycott throughout the week for general reminders and to answer any questions/suggestions.

And please, reblog this. The only way this will work is if enough people see this post and participate to make a difference. 

so tl;dr: hate the update? join the boycott of tumblr on Wednesday, September 9th from 12:00am to 11:59pm by just not using tumblr that day.

The bolded part was the part that I was addressing, you know, the part conveniently cut off from your reblog, this bit: “Even if you slightly raise your voice or sound upset i will consider it yelling”

If someone’s coping skills are so poor that they consider someone who sounds even slightly upset, or they perceive even a slightly raised voice as yelling, that is not my problem and I’m under no obligation to cater to that bullshit, snowflake.

I'm one of those "if you sound upset I will consider it yelling" people.  It's the way I perceive tone.  And I could tell you all about the inherent reasons that I do that, but it's irrelevant.

It's an erroneous way of thinking - sometimes a stern talking-to is necessitated by a situation.  And sometimes people get upset.  If they're not actually yelling at me, it's my problem that I think that they are.
