Hi, I'm Alastor.

i need a more experienced trans guy to pin me down n make me call him daddy, 🤧.....

tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

Notifications about missing persons and requests for help

Posts about youth liberation

Posts about sex education

Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented

Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr

Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems

Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content

Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not

Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr

Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual

And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users (within the UK and Brazil) must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

This update is complete bullshit designed to censor and exclude marginalised people, poorly hidden under a guise of "protecting teenagers from sexual content", and they know it.

Hate. with my whole body.

I saw a post about how good modern phones are compared to like 10 or 20 years ago, and I'm sure in many cases that's probably true. But technology of today, right now, is not MUCH better...

I got my first phone when i was like 5 or so (it was a blue flip phone that could only call the police and take pictures and i got it because I'd started walking to school on my own.) And now 13 years later i have a mini super computer in my hand. Which is a big achievement in technology yes.

BUT NOW IT'S ALL GOING DOWNHILL. We were at a good point in tech for a while and now i cant connect anything to anything because none of my wires have the port my other device needs. I can't plug my phone into my laptop because all of the phone chargers i find are c-port on BOTH ENDS??? WHO DECIDED THAT??? I cant use my headphones between devices because they removed the headphone jack and IM NOT GOING TO BUY A NEW PIECE OF PLASTIC just to use my headphones OR worse, to plug in my phone and use my headphones at the same time.

My phone is constantly overheating, i cant take out the stupid battery anymore, it's constantly lagging. AND I HAVE A GOOD PHONE. IT'S A GOOD VERSION FROM A GOOD BRAND. THEY'RE JUST GOING DOWNHILL LIKE EVERY OTHER BRAND BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR MONEY.

I think about how awful modern phones are every day because I'm burdened with a piece of junk i dont have the money to replace 🫩
