hey fucknuts my name is quela, im a 13 year old cis girl and i looove drama/discourse lmao

some of my friends in this community are @hewwo-truwuscum and @samuelthethot and theyre both Cool Dudes

my opinions are:

I have just returned to tumblr fully for the first time in over a year to find that there's recent asks begging for the blog to come back, asking where we've been, etc. I can't speak for the other mods, I havent spoken to them in a very long time and none of them are even assigned as admins to this blog anymore, but I can speak for myself.

I never posted here much and tried to remain as neutral as possible when I did because even then I didn't agree with many of the things being posted here, the hostile nature of this blog, and the drama that spawned from it. Not that I was any sort of saint, I was still a mod on this blog, reblogged false information (some of which I even knew was false or misleading but knew that it would get people riled up and that people wanted to see it), and fellow supporter the other mods and defended them when they did something shitty.

I eventually ended up leaving the transmed and anti-SJW community because I accidentally deleted my old discourse blog (which had, at the time of deletion, over 4000 followers that I constantly spewed more shitty opinions and drama and bad information to) and when I remade it I barely got more than 200 after months which discouraged me. I jumped ship after the NSFW ban, thank fuck for that because it gave me a taste of the real world away this echo chamber of a community and helped me pull my head out of my ass.

Now I log in and I see tons of notifications showing me that incredibly toxic, ill informed, and all around nasty posts from this blog are still being reblogged daily. Just today there were 12 and one some days there are more than 30.

I don't think it takes a genius at this point to realize that I am appaled and disgusted by the stuff that was on this blog, even the posts typed out by my own two hands.

This blog built up an incredibly toxic community that devolved into redfem/TERF territory (and this is not my just using buzzwords, this was a label literally claimed by some of the mods on this blog and many of the folks that interacted with it). Scrolling through some of the old posts here I saw MANY trans folks, and yes even the dysphoric ones this community claims to care so much about, being harassed, mocked, invalidated, and misgendered simply because their opinion was different. I saw witchhunts and drama and mocking of peoples appearances and content from literal terfs being reblogged. There was even unironic uses of the word "troon", "tranny", etc. by mods and anons used to describe trans folks as a whole and even to mock individuals.

That said, you may notice that these posts and all others are gone. I found a script to delete all blog posts at once and I did just that. I know that these posts still exist as archives on other people's blogs as thats just how the site works, however I feel more comfortable knowing that they won't be left available here under the blog that I now have sole control over.

I don't care at all if people dislike me for this, think I'm an SJW or tucute or whatever else now (which I guess is sort of true tbh though I have left any and all discourse and drama in my past). I dont feel comfortable with those sorts of posts being up and available to continue the spread of misinformation, hate, harassment, and so on.

I have absolutely no ill will towards the other mods btw. If they are anything like me then they were well meaning people that got themselves wrapped up in a community that thrives on propaganda and blame shifting. Maybe they were lured in by the prospect of a community and friends. Maybe they, like me, subconciously felt that as minorities (as all of them were) the best way to gain acceptance from non-minorities was to be more palatable to them and be the "good" type of trans person or gay person or POC person or whatever else. Who even knows? Regardless, I know that at least a few of them have since moved entirely away from this ideology and put it in their past. I hope that them and the others are doing well. This post is getting long so I'll explain my own reasoning in another post.

I shall close this post by asking this: Do you think it would be better to be nonconfrontational, to focus only on yourself and your own identity, accept and support everyone knowing that there may be a chance some bad eggs will slip in and be supported too? Or would it be better to argue for your postion and call out others that don't fit within your margins knowing that some of the people you claim to be fighting for will be hurt?

This is not a war, this is a massacre Azerbaijan and Turkey are committing against the Armenian people.

Turkey's president literally admitted that he wants to finish what his ancestors started. He wants to commit another genocide, and this time he wants to kill us all.

when i was trying to figure out if it was gay or bi or asexual or what sitting on the internet and obsessing over my feelings didn’t help me at all, it just drove me crazy

i needed to go out there, fall in love, experience things, hook up with people, give myself time. sitting at home and trying to figure out if what i felt for men/women/whoever is sexual attraction was useless. taking off the pressure to find my label and letting myself just be was so much more liberating and allowed me to actually experience things that made realising i was bi extremely easy.

figuring out your sexual orientation shouldn’t be this stressful intellectual puzzle, it should be a case of you living your life and then going from there

“Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

Hitler often used it to cite how history would forget about his “final solution”, as they didn’t remember the Armenian genocide, did they? 

My family is in America for the sole reason that the first Armenian genocide drove them out. My grandmother knows nothing of what happened to her cousins and aunts and uncles, and still, to this day, the Armenian genocide is not recognized by Turkey. 

It’s happening again. The Azerbaijan and Armenian conflict over Artsakh, an area that Azerbaijan claims is theirs, but is inhabited heavily by Armenians, has been restarted, and the people living there are in serious danger, as Turkey is now lending their military aid to Azerbaijan as well, while the rest of the world is turned the other way. 

I know we’re all so fatigued from the shitshow that has been 2020, and how difficult it can be to comprehend yet another tragedy, but if you have a moment, please just educate yourself on what’s happening in Armenia and Artsakh, educate a friend, and take a look at the some of the resources I’ll link below, I would be so grateful. Don’t let history annihilate my people again. 

explaining why the conflict has re-started

You should be screaming about kids in cages whether red or blue is there

You should be screaming about sexism whether red or blue is there

You should be screaming about police brutality whether red or blue is there

These issues are not going to go away. Biden and Harris will perpetuate them in full force and the media will excuse them. And then... you will be silent.

If I hear ANY of you say that this is over, or worse, try to justify the same things you hated under Trump, it proves it -

Hey Tumbls, are you voting in person? Here’s some info for you

1) If you are in line before the polls close, even if it’s 6:59 and polls close at 7:00, you have the right to vote. Don’t let them turn you away.

2) Electioneering within 25 feet of your polling place isn’t permitted. Don’t wear candidate or party merch. It is considered electioneering and you may be asked to leave and come back in a different change of clothes.

3) If someone is pressuring you to vote a certain way within 25 feet of a polling place, tell the poll workers. THAT’S ILLEGAL.

3) If someone is intimidating you or trying to drive you away from the polls, tell the poll workers. THAT’S ILLEGAL.

4) If you forgot your ID and you’re in a state that requires it, ask for a provisional ballot. You can still vote, even without the ID. Once your provisional ballot is cast, you can go home and grab your ID to show them, bypassing the line and going straight to the managing table.

(Disclaimer: I am a poll worker in MO, which has some of the stricter election laws in the country. Some laws may vary depending on region.)

yea lol

American’s Teasing Canada: u have moose and beavers, maple syrup u like it

American’s Teasing Australia: kangaroos and koalas, it’s hot there, summer time, toilets flush backward

My high school history teacher was shot in the back on campus. Everyone here knows someone who’s been affected by gun violence. Everyone knows someone who’s been affected by healthcare, or lack thereof. Everyone knows someone whose life has been ruined by college debt. 

Shoes on in house

Smiling too much

High school football

Opossums, raccoons, deer, etc.

Carpet (I’ve heard other countries aren’t as obsessed with carpet as Americans)

Sales tax (how much will this cost? Nobody knows!)

Roadside tourist attractions (world’s biggest ball of yarn etc)

“it’s only a 6 hour drive”

Buying tea in a gallon jug

Being in the prairie states and there literally being nothing in any direction for miles not even trees

Tornadoes anything to do with tornado culture

Waffle house

The mere concept of semi trucks / 18 wheelers

HELL IS REAL billboard here in Ohio

The giant dinosaur roadside tourist attraction out in the middle of nowhere

Route 66

Fanny packs

Prom (I’ve heard other countries don’t have prom? Or any of the other 100 school dances a year??)

People microwave their tea instead of boiling it

The white people half-jog-and-wave combo when crossing the street

- can’t drive

- sheer irreverence for hurricanes (hurricane parties)

- Homecoming Mums

- never ending road construction

- the high probability of pulling up to a four way stop and only having one car

- Houston vs Dallas vs Austin

- anything to do with Texas sports (the Spurs, Stars, Texans, and Cowboys all have notable and great players but can’t win shit for shit)

- too big???

Walmart in every corner.

Soup air

Capitol was chosen because it was right in between the first two capitals but it’s really boring and kinda gross. 0/10. Not capital matrerial.

ALLIGATORS. I’ve found them in my swimming pool. I live in the middle of the city.

To many snakes.

Three or more churches on every street.

Camo is considered acceptable to wear.

Dressing like a cowboy unironically

Redoing all the repairs you have made to your house every year or two because the humidity already ruined it.

No one cares about hurricanes. We hardly bother to board up anymore unless it’s a category four or higher. Last year I was invited to a hurricane sleep over where we all decided to talk about how we’d die.

Florida men are real and they are everywhere.

Florida women are just as bad.

Someone told me no where else had Publix which is a tragedy cause they have good pay and employee benefits. I’d suggest it for a first job if you live someone that has them.

Did I mention the alligators??? We can’t swim anywhere unless we’re ready to run from a gator.

So many mosquitos. The air is 50% water and 50% mosquito.

Our capital building is shaped like a penis.

Miami as a whole.

The people here fear nothing. I watched a kid at my school pick a snake up out of a puddle and chuck it so we could get to class.

Most people don’t repair their roofs, even if they have the funds, instead they just put up tarps.
