Hey I remembered that y'all had asked about DIY HRT and Lily Alexandre posted a video just yesterday with a pseudo guide to how to do it safely.

https://youtu.be/o2Ggwe2j0Gc?si=b2PWkNHvpvZE-g65

Please if you check out this video, download it and rip it as well. Who knows how long we'll have access to it.

holy shit this is awesome, thank you so much!!!!!!

this is the ONLY way certain people can access HRT and i want to make sure those individuals stay as safe as possible. while it's best to try to get it through a medical provider when and where you can, not everyone has this option. thank you so much.

as suggested, download this video. i have downloaded a copy. if the video does go down, i will be happy to find ways to get it to people who need it. preserve this information. nobody deserves to go without lifesaving hormones.

EDIT: here is a backed up version, lmk if there's any issues with the link:

On my hands and knees begging adults to allow children to engage in risk play.

And by risk play I don't mean handing them a gun and playing Russian Roulette.

I mean like climbing trees, getting so sick spinning on the swing they throw up, balancing on the curb, sitting in the mud, walking on slippery surfaces, building half ass ramps to ride their bike over, standing on rocks, or anything that involves a smidgen of confidence and out of the box thinking that could result in injury.

Obviously like watch your kids and such, but when we talk about the fun of being an 80s or 90s kid, it's not just talking about CDs and Walkmans or not having iPads. It's about how kids today were robbed of critical learning and experience skills we were allowed to have.

Playgrounds disappearing, helicopter parents, and sue culture really destroyed a child's development in the United States, and I think it's about time we as adults recognize that, because the kids sure have.

on the subject of transmascs being the targets of anti-abortion laws I want to share fact a fun fact :). when France added the right to abortion to the constitution last year (rare political w in this stupid country lately), the original text said: "nobody can be denied an abortion". however, when the text was being debated, then-deputy Aurore Bergé, inspired by transphobic self proclaimed "femellists", decided to change this sentence to: "no woman can be denied an abortion". this person, who is part of government, has supported people fighting against abortion rights for trans men and has herself excluded them from the constitution, great!!!! :)))

look me in the fucking eyes and tell me that trans men are only collateral victims of misogyny. (she then became the minister of the family and is currently the minister of equality between men and women. btw.)

oh that sucks so bad, i'm so sorry, holy shit. people really don't understand how bad this is. people are so militant about this, it's unreal. everyone deserves reproductive system care no matter who they are, especially abortions. it solves nothing to prevent trans men and transmascs from getting them. it's so fucking dumb. thank you for sharing this

You ever kind of just sit around like

You know?

“Fyp” we don’t do that here. I mean, Tumblr the app and website tries, but we don't do that here.

“But then how will anyone see it?” peer review.

“How do you get engagement?” by talking and engaging with other people. Or making a devastating typo. Either way.

“But—” Listen, you’re not doing solo stand up anymore. This is a group improv class being held in a SAW dungeon. Good luck.

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

playing with people’s incomes for a political stunt

so when trump takes office on monday and “saves tiktok” with a 90 day extension on the tiktok ban decision, then during that period mark zuckerberg “suddenly” decided to buy tiktok and have meta absorb it, then what.

trump created this problem when he introduced the tiktok ban in his first term and he’s going to take credit for “solving” it now. the tiktok ceo made a video thanking trump for “understanding the app” then the error message says we are grateful to trump for working with us on this ?? AND he’s invited to sit front row at the inauguration??? oh also new facebook/tiktok integrations popping up today ???

trump’s dick is in the tiktok ceo’s mouth the deal is already done

[outer-andromeda]

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees

are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:

1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!

2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!

3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.

4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.

5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).

TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!

Don't you fucking dare compare TikTok to Vine. ITS NOT THE SAME THING

Vine went away cuz it couldn't afford to stay active

TikTok went away because congress RIPPED it away from us. It let to many activist groups connect faster than ever before; it let too many voices of dissent be heard louder than ever before; and most importantly it was more popular than Facebook, Twitter( cuz fuck that X bullshit), and instagram.

I understand losing both of these platforms hurt, I was alive for vine's death to. But don't let yourself be fooled into a falce equivalence.

Vine died

TikTok was murdered.

Hi tiktok refugees PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD: DO NOT PUT EVERY SINGLE TAG ON PLANET EARTH ON YOUR POSTS!!!! It only clogs the tags and people WILL report you for spamming. Only use the essentials (the person/character in the post, the fandom or media the post is about).

Also please personalize your blogs. If you have a default blog theme, people will block you.

Also also, you don't have to censor yourself here. Say fuck. Say lesbian. Say die. You're free here.
