Can I use your “queer is not a slur” rant in a paper/post I’m writing? If so, how can I credit you?

I think MLA has the best way of citing a tumblr post but all are correct. It’s up to personal preference. Not knowing in what way you mean paper, I’d like to suggest that, unless you’re using my post an example of a passionate argument against treating queer like a slur, you may want to find more direct sources. In a reply to that post I listed several academically acceptable sources, including a couple that can be considered primary sources. If it’s just going to be a blog post, or again, a paper looking at people’s opinion, any of the above are acceptable.
As an aside, isn’t wild that there’s a correct way to cite tumblr posts? I get why they needed away to source tweets, but there’s something about this website that feels so divorced from anything that matters I really can’t believe the three biggest manuals of style gave us a proper citation!
