This. Exactly this. There was the post, with the U.S.A. edited out of a map of North America, saying "thank god, it was just a dream" or something along those lines. A few reblogs later, people posted maps of North America with indigenous tribes.

I saw the post around when it was made, and then I saw a post that looked suspiciously familiar, just with staff-removed pictures. Yes, it was that post. Staff put them back eventually, but still, what the fuck? The fact that trans people are getting banned for no reason, that that post was censored, and more, is just inexcusable.

There's no good social media anymore. I'm not sure where else to get reliable news about the genocide in Palestine, so I might check Tumblr every so often for that - there's a lot of people talking about it on here. Major news outlets, from what I've seen, don't care.

The internet does seem to be dying, sadly. I don't know what to do about that. Physical newspapers are probably just stories paid for by megacorporations (although that's just me making shit up, it could be not true). I need reliable, non-corporate news somehow, and I genuinely don't know how to get that outside of social media.

I have an RSS reader set up, which gives me notifications for a few specific blogs I follow - @nyancrimew's being among them. I don't really know where to find independent blogs like that - I follow Erin In The Morning as well, and a quick glance at her blog shows that there's a "recommended" section - I'm not sure if that's algorithmically generated or not, but that may be a good way to find some other news sources.

Fuck the internet. Fuck all of this. Fuck that the only actual way to get news is social media, all of which is going to shit.

A few months ago, this tumblr account was banned. Not only was I unable to log in, but my friends couldn't see that the blog had ever existed. This was around when a lot of trans girls were posting about how their innocent pictures were marked as explicit, how they'd gotten banned, etc.

It took a few months for tumblr to say something along the lines of "oh, sorry - here's your account back!", with no explanation of why I'd been banned in the first place. Here's the post I made when I got unbanned: https://sadlynotsappho.tumblr.com/post/728298736442359808/where-ive-been-for-the-past-few-weeks

Recently, a popular tumblr user got banned, seemingly for the same reason I did: being transfemme. Here's their post (from an alt) about it that I reblogged: https://www.tumblr.com/sadlynotsappho/742642966405021696

This is all to say that this website not only isn't getting better, it's getting worse. Feature-wise, I understand all of the people saying "oh, tumblr is the best social media site, not because it's gotten better, but because everything else has gotten worse". What those people are ignoring is the recent hell that this site puts trans girls through.

This is all to say that I'm not coming back after this post. Thanks, @staff! You're somehow worse than my bio teacher, and my school's tech support team (who took six months to tell me "we care about your privacy that's why we're forcing you to use only google products")

I'll ping some of my mutuals so that y'all see this, I know my original posts don't get nearly as many notes as funny shit that I reblog. If any of you want to contact me, I'm @sadlynotsappho on Discord, and @sadlynotsappho:catgirl.cloud on matrix. I'd prefer if you contacted me on matrix (https://joinmatrix.org/guide/matrix-vs-discord/), but feel free to use Discord.

Goodbye, tumblr. You were fun while you lasted.

why have i not heard anything back in over 2 months about a report i filed regarding a harrassment and stalking campaign against me for the entirety of the last year?

why, the first time i tried to submit a report about this, did i just get an email back saying "oh sorry, wrong email, go here instead :)" within a day? how come thats faster, but not this?

how come, in the time its taken to reply to me about the stalking and harrassment, have you deleted my main account @predstrogen even when you have stated before that it is not breaking terms of service after it was flagged due to the same reports that got me banned?

how come this has happened before in summer, when your websites system was flagging anything involving trans women as explicit, including my own selfies and transition timeline? especially when several known staff users have commented about this exact situation, i recall people even mentioning me specifically! [1 - 2 - 3]

and on top of all that, ive been seeing a massive uptick in right wing users openly harrassing me, even going as far as to admit theyre reporting me and making up lies about me as a trans woman. so many people have told me theyre recieving anonymous asks slandering me. is your site going to do anything about that? [1 2 3]

or is your site going to ban me again on here, and delete every single thing ive uploaded saying it "breaks TOS". even my transition timeline, my fucking face and identity. like you did already

am i ever going to see anything get better? all three of my past accounts, @madhopz, @sadhopz, and now @predstrogen have been deactivated after a year. its a pattern, and you havent listened to any requests for help against this harrassment

what am i, and everyone else this happens to, going to get to fix this?

if youre seeing, please reblog this. this blog might not be around too long either, i want it known that this happened again so i dont get ignored again. i have a paper trail, evidence and defence for everything

It is funny. Recently I had a transphobe argue to me, that "well, it is all made up! Animals will still not know that you identify as a man". Which to me is so funny, because while there has never been extensive research done on this topic, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence showing the exact opposite.

As someone who has done a lot of work with animals, I can tell you, that those animals that for one reason or another like one gender more or less than another often show the same loving or hostile behavior towards people completely depending on the gender the people actually identifies as.

"Sure," some people might say, "because if you take hormons you gonna smell like the gender to an animal." But that is the funny part. Animals often act according to that with trans adults who are still in egg mode. Who have not come out yet. And nobody knows why and how they can tell.

But some of the harsher animals with a "gender preference in humans" are like the best trans indicators. You have not admitted to yourself you are a guy? Yeah, this cat is gonna hate you anyways. Because this cat hates men.

Sincerely the guy who got attacked by this one fucking bunny, who didn't like dudes, several times

windows at its worse, for me, from a pure user experience point of view, is a few random crashes, and rarely a bluescreen (but that was because i was messing with the ram sticks while the computer was on)

linux at its worst is not booting properly, driver hell, firefox taking half a minute to open for literally no reason, the whole system freezing so bad that the window manager partially crashes because you were trying to compile code and run a macos vm at the same time, the display manager shitting itself, half your apps only working on x11 which is shit for a lot of reasons, the arch installer breaking so you have to manually handle encryption, and a lot more

linux is genuinely quite fun, and when it's working, it works a lot better than windows. just don't, like, kill systemd while your computer is on or anything.

I don't think people realize how absolutely wild Linux is.

Here we have an Operating system that now has 100 different varieties, all of them with their own little features and markets that are also so customizable that you can literally choose what desktop environment you want. Alongside that it is the OS of choice for Supercomputers, most Web servers, and even tiny little toy computers that hackers and gadget makers use. It is the Operating System running on most of the world's smartphones. That's right. Android is a version of Linux.

It can run on literally anything up to and including a potato, and as of now desktop Linux Distros like Ubuntu and Mint are so easily to use and user friendly that technological novices can use them. This Operating system has had App stores since the 90s.

Oh, and what's more, this operating system was fuckin' built by volunteers and users alongside businesses and universities because they needed an all purpose operating system so they built one themselves and released it for free. If you know how to, you can add to this.

Oh, and it's founder wasn't some corporate hotshot. It's an introverted Swedish-speaking Finn who, while he was a student, started making his own Operating system after playing around with someone else's OS. He was going to call it Freax but the guy he got server space from named the folder of his project "Linux" (Linus Unix) and the name stuck. He operates this project from his Home office which is painted in a colour used in asylums. Man's so fucking introverted he developed the world's biggest code repo, Git, so he didn't have to deal with drama and email.

Steam adopted it meaning a LOT of games now natively run in Linux and what cannot be run natively can be adapted to run. It's now the OS used on their consoles (Steam Deck) and to this, a lot of people have found games run better on Linux than on Windows. More computers run Steam on Linux than MacOS.

On top of that the Arctic World Archive (basically the Svalbard Seed bank, but for Data) have this OS saved in their databanks so if the world ends the survivors are going to be using it.

On top of this? It's Free! No "Freemium" bullshit, no "pay to unlock" shit, no licenses, no tracking or data harvesting. If you have an old laptop that still works and a 16GB USB drive, you can go get it and install it and have a functioning computer because it uses less fucking resources than Windows. Got a shit PC? Linux Mint XFCE or Xubuntu is lightweight af. This shit is stopping eWaste.

What's more, it doesn't even scrimp on style. KDE, XFCE, Gnome, Cinnamon, all look pretty and are functional and there's even a load of people who try make their installs look pretty AF as a hobby called "ricing" with a subreddit (/r/unixporn) dedicated to it.

Linux is fucking wild.
