“lurkers DESTROY tumblr” is such an unhinged take i am sorry but you do you, lurkers. make your accounts. like your posts. reblog absolutely nothing if you don’t want to! if people block you from their blogs because you “look like a bot” fuck it lol. go find another blog to follow. the internet sucks everywhere no one needs to be scolded for using a platform “wrong”. anyway this is a lurker appreciation blog

“lurkers are fine they just need to—“ you’re still telling strangers what to do and i do not agree! let me be clear 🫥 please please don’t turn my post into a softer rule set for other people that’s not what i meant lol just disagree with me it’s fine

girl help they are making me do my job at work

One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.

My pronouns are I/me and the rest is for someone else to deal with because I have better things to do.

Very fond of macrolabels, like “queer”, that provide zero extra information. Is it genderqueer? Is it romantic/sexual orientation queer? Is it queer as in “none of your fucking business what’s in my pants and what I do with it and with whom”?

This is actually probably the first time I’ve ever read something that accurately describes my relationship with gender–ie, ‘my gender is me and my pronouns are a you problem’–so thank you for that!

#you cannot gender me in a way that matters

I think indeed dot com should have a comment section

Sad thing is that neil gaiman can't get a checkmark because he's not on tumblr :(

He has no social media.
