Queer Joy 🏳️‍🌈

you can post on tumblr even when you're trying to take a break from social media it literally doesn't count. it's like pepsi max, or pescatarianism

I know this sounds like the deranged ramblings of a senile old man but I swear it used to be possible to look up information on the internet

remember when sam did that whole purification spell to make everybody a virgin again to open up the sealed bunker in 12x22? and then next episode cas dies and dean never has sex again? anyways dean winchester dies a virgin. is my point.

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

genuinely people should be getting arrested for this heat. oil ceos should be getting dragged out onto the streets and kicked to death over this.

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

I don't care who you are get comfortable with the fact that you have privilege over some people and groups

are you perisex? are you non-Black? are you developmentally abled? do you have passive income or inheritance? are you legally an adult?

It’s almost like taking an invested interest in what your children enjoy will help you understand them.

that addition might be the most savage call out i’ve ever seen

Blind people must save a lot on electricity.

They do actually!

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Humans are so fucking fascinating

I love linguistic stuff and saw this post screenshotted AGES ago and have been halfheartedly searching for it again because no one believes me when i say sign language has accents AND I FOUND IT

FOUND THE POST AGAIN I WAS TALKING ABOUT IT LAST WEEK N COULDNT FIND IT AND THEN SOMEONE LIKED IT AND I SAW THE NOTIF WOOT

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

Reminder that the AIDS crisis was an intentional genocide

This is happening again, right now, with covid denialism. It's not enough to just be vaccinated. Queer people, especially BIPOC, trans, and bisexual people are disproportionately affected by covid and long covid. Please mask up and encourage masking in public spaces, especially queer spaces. And educate yourselves on covid and long covid in 2026

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit
