Old Tumblr Dashboard (Userstyle)!!

I created a Userstyle for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old look!

You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don't have it:

Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Manifest V2 Chrome Extension (You can install Chrome Extensions on Edge as well)

Once it's installed into Firefox/Chrome/Edge you can proceed with adding this style or any other.

To add the style (Stylus), follow the instructions:

Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023

Click on "install".

Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you'll have a button that says "install style", click there. (Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!) If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/

For Manifest V3 only Chrome Or Stylus incompatible browsers:

For Chrome Manifest V3 install the Tampermonkey Extension

Then add the Tampermonkey Backup Script instead of the Stylus version

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/492279-old-tumblr-dasboard-backup I highly recommend you switch to Firefox for continued use of good extensions! Stylus does not have a V3 update yet; however, the tamermonkey script works just as good.

Be sure to check for updates regularly and if you'd like, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/pixiel !

I'm currently taking donations so I can afford a much-needed wheelchair, so please check out my GoFundMe for more details! Any Ko-Fi donations will be added manually to the GoFundMe

..::::HOW TO UPDATE::::..

click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button next to the userstyle, then click again to install!

Make sure to check the Userstyle and see if the version number matches the one below if you don't see any changes!

NEW UPDATE: 18/11/24 (D/M/Y) 01:28PM BST v16.3

v14.11: Made Premium Perks button available in the bottom left corner for all premium users v15.2: Fixed the Tumblr fuckup AND added a cool new feature that allows you to customise the look of your header & hide the reply-to-replies button if you like, here's how to customise this. Set to "Block" if you want the button/icon visible, Set to "None" if you want it hidden! V15.5: Given labels to options for clarity - now says 'show' or 'hide'! You can also fix the positioning of the Communities button and subnav from this menu as well - it should remember your settings when you update!

v15.9: The Boopdate! V16.0: Fixed Search view pages and made them look normal, unfortunately, I can't bring back the dropdown menus for "top"/"All Time" etc - but it should look more like the original now v16.3: Minor tweaks to make search pages look better

Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) Is now available!!

OTD+ is an add on for Old Tumblr dashboard that you can use to edit the Post Width, Content Positioning & More - It must be used with Old Tumblr Dashboard installed as well on the latest update! This style might be merged with OTD in the future.

THE CREATOR OF THIS USERSTYLE SUPPORTS THEIR TRANS SISTERS. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Check the readmore for the changelog, custom code & known issues!

----- Known issues:

Only two columns in Masonry view. Semi-Unfixable, Tumblr creates columns based on monitor size, if I try adding another column (because it doesn't exist) it just perpetually loads on screen. Semi-fix: Zoom out in chrome/firefox and it adds more columns, you may need to change the font size of the page though

Search bar doesn't appear on some pages (like viewing a post), this is because Tumblr removed the search bar on those pages completely. Unfixable but not a big deal

Tumblr has ONCE AGAIN CHANGED THE ACCOUNTS MENU. The menus are now shorter and have less information on them. This is unfortunately permanent. I do not see any way to fix this. Unfixable.

If you want people's icons to stay fixed in place, instead of scrolling with the dashboard change this in Stylus;

Or if you're using the tampermonkey version

Find text:

.NLCTe > div.Evcyl > div > div > .So6RQ.YSitt > .ge_yK > .c79Av > article > header > .RYkKH > .nZ9l5 { pointer-events: auto; top: 55px; transition: top .25s; position: -webkit-sticky; position: sticky; } and replace it with;

.NLCTe > div.Evcyl > div > div > .So6RQ.YSitt > .ge_yK > .c79Av > article > header > .RYkKH > .nZ9l5 { pointer-events: auto; top: 0px; transition: top .25s; position: absolute; }

Solved issues: (Update)

Menus need to be manually closed SOLVED! in V.4 and updated in V.5! The menu & icon WILL scroll with you if you have removed the sticky header CSS, however, clicking anywhere on screen will make the Menu disappear still.

Masonry view in searches is now fixed!

Resized Messenger Chat Box!

NEW UPDATE 16/08/23, 23:55 BST v6.5: Figured out how to reorganise the icons in the header. Let me know if you have any problems with it and make sure to update your Userstyle! Some icons are hidden with Display: Block; you can hide more icons with this method!

Solved issues p2

Brought back SOME of the icons for Tumblrs latest update - Unfortunately, this does not bring back user icons for Reblogged posts! Make sure to yell at Tumblr for removing the icons as well as the horrible dashboard update here! v7.5 Fixed icons for all posts and put them back where they came from!

v6.9.6.9 (I promise this is the last funny number): Fuck Off Buggy The Clown Update + All languages support for the old header design!

v7.0: Fixed the search bar for tumblrs new collections feature, so it looks like the original search bar!

v8.0: Fixed masonry view icons, hidden the reblog icon on dashboard icons, fixed icons in blog viewport

V8.1: Fixed issue with icons not working on soft-refresh & with endless scrolling disabled - be sure to complain to staff!

v9.3: Changed a few things with the search feature, I also made the posts less round.

UPDATE2 11/04/2024: SO We mighhtttt have overrun their servers. 😅 I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error every time I try to fix it or upload it as a new style - the massive influx of people downloading the userstyle was probably too much. The Tampermonkey backup on Greasyfork works just fine though! Probably easier for a lot of people migrating anyway! UPDATE 11/04/2024:: My code has broken on Userstyles.world, (it is now fixed as of 12/04/24) until this is fixed I have created a Tampermonkey Backup Version of the Userstyle so feel free to use this version if you've broken yours!

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/492279-old-tumblr-dasboard-backup

v9.6: Moved the Following | For you | Your Tags to below the create a post panel. Fixed the Accounts Menu! + Bugfixes V10.3: Patio compatibility. Added a way to hide the Patio button & "patio feedback?" button, just search for patio in the code and follow the instructions! v11.0: Temporary Chat feature fix after Tumblr broke it, fixed some positioning issues and j/k scrolling!

v12.3: Fixed a text issue (my bad!), I undid the changes to the replies function and added a way to fix icons order for when you get the communities update!

v12.5: Update to make compatible with the Content Positioning using Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) v12.6: Post buttons fixed, icons unable to be fixed yet as I haven't got the tumblr changes just yet - but I will fix them asap!

v11.7: Communities Update, changed the new search bar on communities page to resemble the old one. The search bar still doesn't work on these pages yet for some reason. Blog view icons fixed. v13.0: The icons change should now have a working patchfix! BIG THANK YOU to arcadian-asgardian for sending me the screenshots I needed and testing if it worked. + Minor tweak, communities button resized to fit the rest of the icons better v13.2: Mini fixes now that I have better access to the new changes! Communities icon re-centered, usernames nudged back into place.

V13.5 & v13.7: Nuked the Go Premium button - Re-positioned the search bar on search pages v13.10: Changed a lot of the new look for replies - it's not perfect yet mind. Small bug with the "..." menu moving to the left with shorter replies. Looks a lot more like the old replies section though! Made it possible to remove the reply to reply button just search for "NEW Replies UI" in the userstyle and remove the /* */ around "display: none" OR use Ublock to block the element! v14.1: Reverted the "Original Poster" border + text to look like old version. Edit: Whoops, fixed an issue with showing the timestamps

v13.4: Added a way to fix the communities icon position if you don't have the New Xkit button or have hidden any of the icons. Just remove the highlighted /* */ pair in the code for what you need.

Un conte tinder qu'il assume pas, avec une description genre " Capitaine de l'équipe de badminton, j'aime les balade sur la plages, recherche relation sérieuse".

Je sais pas Lancelot c'est le connard qui conduit une mini, ou une voiture deux places...

C'est se genre de gars mauvais au collège/lycée mais qui est inaltérable à la fac.

Ce con a fait une prépa Math-Physique et il c'est jamais autant fait chier de ça vie car tous était trop facile.

" Un petit creux ? Une baisse de sucre ? Besoin de savoir quel est le meilleur kebab rapport qualité pétage de bide? Alors il vous faut : Karado de Vanne!"

A rencontrait Perceval durant les années lycées.

Je le vois pas étudiant ? Ou peut etre un truc genre STAPS, mais plus pour la blague.

Lui il a fait un CAP cuisine.

Deuxième fouteurs de merde de première catégorie dans l'assos, mais il serre aussi de traiteur quand ils font une soirée.

This has bugged me for a while but before i get into it i want to say up front that all kinds of representation for all kinds of people is incredibly important, this is just my opinion through my lense of my personal experience being trans and consuming trans content. I hope that would be common sense but i know if i dont write this someones going to get pissy with me for god knows what.

With that out of the way,

I have been trying to hunt out and consume as much trans media as i can (at least in genres and forms that i tend to enjoy reading/viewing) and one thing i see to an insane degree is trans women being portreyed with predominantly masculine features or even being played by cis men in drag. On one hand i think "hey ill take what i can get" but on the other i think thats a fucking low bar. Now i know that there is a significant portion of trans women with fairly masculine features, and i cannot stress this enough that there is nothing wrong with that, everyone is different, everyone transitions diferently and the end goals for everyone varies wildly.

My issue is that while i love that there is more trans rep in general the fact that most characters ive seen are portreyed in a very masculine way (especially if a character is explicitly stated as being on hrt/medically transitioning for years) it sometimes rough to consume as someone who places a lot of importance on myself passing. When most forms of representation portray who you are as the physical flaws that have tormented you for 20+ years it hurts. I dont want there to be less of these portrayals at all, i just want more rep closer to my experience.

While comics and art i push past because i want to enjoy the stories included, i cant say the same about movies. It irks me how almost anytime i hear about a movie with a predominant/main trans fem character its played by a cis male actor; i get they can do it well, ive heared people complement some performances greatly, but i mean... could they not hire a trans actress? I know theyre around ive seen them on screen, hire them. The disinterest i feel when i see that a famous cis male actor is portraying a trans woman is palpable. Hire more trans actors.

Now im sure theyre are plenty of examples of what im looking for, god i hope so. Hopefully ive just been unlucky in my search.

I would like to add that one of my fave examples of rep i feel resonates with me and the one that came to my head first is Olive from "My Dragon Girlfriend" by Fawndoo on webtoons, i freaking love her. Plz show it some love ❤️

https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/my-dragon-girlfriend/list?title_no=162918

Im aware that my post talks pretty much exclusively about trans fem rep and theres a reason for that: i am a trans woman and a massive dyke who prodiminanly devours lesbian romance fiction so honesly i have no leg to stand on as i have little to no idea what the rep is for trans men & enbys.

Anyway thats my personal experience with trans media. goodnight, sleep tight

[ratguy-nico]

I read this today and many thoughts came to mind so yeah this is another rambling.

'til this day I don't get over the fact that only last year we had the Last Season of The Owl House, the rushed end of one of the greatest series of the decade, that could have mark a new course for many series yet to come, the spiritual successor of another of the greatest series of all Gravity Falls.

The Owl House was released in 2020 just four years ago and it was cancelled in 2022, two years ago, presumable cause it had too much representation for Disney's taste.

This is obviousley not confirm, but everyone in the industry and Dana Terrace herself had made clear that this was the main reason.

All this just 2 years ago, many like to say we live in a time were LGBT+ community had all the representation they need, that everything is gay now days and and that this excess of representation is becoming tedious. And then this is a case from fucking 2 years ago.

It just so sickening, to think that yeah we have representation nowdays but it has to be a certain tipe of rep, it can not be too much, in the Owl House I think there was just one straight couple in the main cast, it has not to be too on the nose, gods forbid for the main character to be gay, lesbian, bi or the non existent trans representation, and it cannot be normal, if you are gay it has to be your main trait, your whole life, you have to have like many crisis as you can and have a whole out of the closet episode, it has to be the revelation of the century.

I still remeber Alex Hirsch puteando a Disney cause they didn't let him do many things he wanted with his own serie, among them the relationship betweenm the two town sheriffs, one of the cutest things in the show, and very funny too.

Alex Hirsch has always been very vocal about he's own despite for Disney as a creator that work for them. And thats why I love him.

I still remeber cartoon network forbidding Rebecca Sugar to say that the Gems were womans, cause that would imply that all the gems were lesbians and that was a totally No No for fricking Cartoon Network, the one everyone point when saying is only Disney the non inclusive one.

(why they never bring this back? what is wrong with Steven Universe?)

Though this end like a tiro en la culata which means backfire cause suddenly the gems were non binary or no gender which was fricking funny cause even more hard to explain XD

This also happened with Adventure Time, another Cartoon serie, were everyone was lost whith the Bublegum and Marcy kiss in the last episode, cause we were told they had a relationship in fricking Season 3 but no, they didn't tell explicitly that they were in a romantic relationship, cause you know... lesbian equal bad.

Their relationship keep getting explore and we had amazing episodes with this two navigating their feelings for each other, the past mistakes in their relationship and how to become better together. But all this while not telling us that they love each other, cause they weren't allow to tell us.

This is merely frustration on my part, I know we have better represantation nowdays, but... is not nearly enough, like I said, theres still close to non rep for ace or trans people, bisexual are getting better, though the rep still is plagued of horrible stereotype and fetization, but this is something lesbian and gays can have manage to avoid yet so what we expect.

So yeah we should celebrate our representation, and not let anyone tell us that is enough or too much, cause til this day the best ace representation I have seen comes from Todd from Bojack Horseman a serie from 2014 that ended in 2020, that set the bar and none had even try to fight, I hope Alastor become a better rep in this front, I really hope so. Lilith made an absolute great work, but sadley cause the serie was cut out we missed a lot of this character T^T

And Im not gonna talk about trans rep cause that's just sad.

I will always hold resentment to Disney cause of what they did to the Owl House, for sure, that something I hold near my heart everyday.

So yeah I totally use this persons post to talk about me me me, and I dont know them so prefer not to involve them in this.

And if you dont notice I keep this Animation Series only, cause theres too many series and I have not watch nearly enough, I know thers some with really good rep and others that are lit hot shit. So yeah the world is wild and full of shit.

Adventure Time 2010-2018

Gravity Falls 2012-2016

Steven Universe 2013-2019

Bojack Horseman 2014-2020

The Owl House 2020-2023

I started to work on this and when the option of giving Julia a new boyfriend had more than 10 votes, it was really quite entertaining to think of a design for him and I really like how it turned out both in appearance and personality

I present to you xabier mclaren! He is the vocalist of his band "the starsones" and Julia's current boyfriend. He met her backstage at one of his concerts (she went at the insistence of a friend) without knowing who the vocalist was. Let's say that their relationship started very slowly. but safe since Xabier, unlike Andrew, is someone very outgoing who knows how to read others, so he knew how to interact with Julia in a friendly enough way to give her the confidence to open up but not too insistent to prevent her from thinking that he wanted something of her (in addition to her number hehe).

xabier is someone who follows the punk movement, an anarchist at heart with a heart of gold, at first glance he seems intimidating but in reality he is super sweet and gentle with others, he is like a green flag that looks like a red flag (and andrew is a red flag disguised as a green flag)

Now some other facts about xabier:

🎸He is 23 years old and is 196cm tall.

🎸He comes from a family that loves punk rock, he has 3 siblings, an older sister and two younger brothers

🎸he learned to play instruments thanks to his father(a former rockstar)and he usually goes camping with his mother from time to time (when she is not working in her punk bar)

🎸He wants to study to be a veterinarian, he loves animals (especially dogs) but he would be happy if he could work with the music industry.

🎸He has a horizontal scar under his right eye caused by an armed robbery.

🎸has a phobia of dolphins after watching a documentary about them in biology class.

🎸He says that music is not just a hobby but part of his life.

🎸His love language is physical contact and words of affirmation.

🎸he got her tongue pierced when he was 16 with the help of his older sister and pierced his ears at home (he barely felt it).

🎸related to the above, he has great resistance to pain.

🎸he is trans, he started his transition at 15.

🎸he is demipansexual.

🎸He has a bad habit of pulling his braid when he's frustrated or nervous.

🎸he'll probably give threatening words to ashley/andrew if they dare try to get close to julia.

🎸He exercises regularly (a good gymbro) and likes to do parkour.

(Español)

me puse a trabajar en esto y cuando la opcion de darle un nuevo novio a julia tuvo mas de 10 votos, realmente fue bastante entretenido pensar en un diseño para el y me gusta mucho como quedo tanto en apariencia como en personalidad🥰

¡les presento a xabier mclaren! es el vocalista de su banda "the starsones" y actual novio de julia,la conocio en el backstage de uno de sus conciertos(ella fue por la insistencia de una amiga) sin saber que era el vocalista, digamos que su relacion inicio muy lenta pero segura siendo que xabier a diferencia de andrew es alguien muy extrovertido que sabe leer a los demas,por lo que sabia como interactuar con julia de manera lo suficientemente amistosa para darle confianza para abrirse pero no demasiado insistente para evitar que pensara que el queria algo de ella(ademas de su numero jeje).

xabier es alguien que sigue el movimiento punk,un anarquista de corazon con un corazon de oro,a simple vista parece intimidante pero en realidad es super dulce y amigable con los demas,es como una green flag con aspecto de red flag(y andrew es una red flag disfrazada de green flag)

Ahora algunos otros datos sobre xabier:

🎸Tiene 23 años y mide 196 cm.

🎸Viene de una familia amante del punk rock, tiene 3 hermanos, una hermana mayor y dos hermanos menores.

🎸aprendió a tocar instrumentos gracias a su padre (un ex estrella de rock) y suele ir de camping con su madre de vez en cuando (cuando ella no está trabajando en su bar punk).

🎸Quiere estudiar veterinario, ama a los animales (especialmente a los perros) pero estaría feliz si pudiera trabajar en la industria musical.

🎸Tiene una cicatriz horizontal debajo del ojo derecho provocada por un robo a mano armada.

🎸tiene fobia a los delfines después de ver un documental sobre ellos en la clase de biología.

🎸Dice que la música no es sólo un hobby sino parte de su vida.

🎸Su lenguaje de amor es el contacto físico y las palabras de afirmación.

🎸se perforó la lengua cuando tenía 16 años con la ayuda de su hermana mayor y se perforó las orejas en casa (apenas lo sintió).

🎸Relacionado con lo anterior, tiene gran resistencia al dolor.

🎸es trans, empezó su transición a los 15 años.

🎸es demipansexual.

🎸Tiene la mala costumbre de tirar de su trenza cuando está frustrado o nervioso.

🎸Probablemente le dará palabras amenazadoras a Ashley/Andrew si se atreven a intentar acercarse a Julia.

🎸Hace ejercicio con regularidad (un buen gimbro) y le gusta hacer parkour.

Like I don't Post about drama but vis a vis predestro's Tumblr ban, like. I don't necessarily think it's a good thing that we on the Internet have become so desensitized to threats of violence that we use them as jokes, but like.... That's been Tumblr culture for, what, a decade now? At least four years. Almost definitely longer.

And like. I've seen so much worse. Folks admitting to sending asks telling others to kill themselves!! Folks outright wishing x/y person killed themselves!!! Folks harassing trans folks (esp. trans women!)

But what gets this one lady banned was her man door hammer hand car boom-ass post???

Like, talk about enforcing the TOS from the wrong angle.

I totally get that part of it is "this person had their rule breaking reported en masse so something happened" but shouldn't the severity of the response have more to do with the severity of the offense, rather than how many people reported that user?

Like. The fact that we have to do mass reports to get anything to happen to anyone is ridiculous.

And, the fact that INCORRECT mass reports aren't punished more is also ridiculous.

There's also no report function for discriminatory content, or for seeing users harass each other. So... If you're not the one being harassed, your report does... Nothing??

Unless you, what scroll through someone's blog looking for things you could report as threatening violence??

On the "I hope every politician dies" webbed site???

There's obviously something fucky with their reporting system- either the way that reports are handled, or the way the severity of the reports are being judged.

Cause right now, it looks like they got a flood of reports from TERFs, photomatt saw a post about him, and went "well, fuck it, get her out of here" without looking at the context of HER BEING HARASSED FOR AGES. And that the post in question- the only one I saw shared!- was almost certainly a vent post for Said Situation that was...

Comically mishandled?

Like this one?

Like. Look. Do I think maybe at some point, on the "way too comfortable with violence on people I see as Wrong in some way" webbed site, a popular user said something that could actually be construed as a threat, and due to rampant transmisogyny got, got her shit reported?

Yeah, I can see that.

I don't follow her blog too closely, I know she does a lot of hyperbolic stuff. (as is Done on this Web site, again... I've almost certainly rb'd things just as bad)

But the example photomatt uses is hilariously bad and so obviously not a threat, and one would think, IN LIGHT OF THERE BEING ALLEGATIONS OF TRANSPHOBIA ON THEIR TEAM FOR YEARS, THEY WOULD BRING OUT A MORE CREDIBLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAN A LOONY-TOONS ASS DEATH WISH.

Just. The bar was on the ground and they still fumbled It! Fucking! Amazing!

Portrait de militante- Marsha P. Johnson

Née en 1945 au New-Jersey Marsha drag-queen afro-américaine déambulait en robe dans la ville, mais c'est à Greenwich Village à New-York qu'elle va trouvé sa place. Elle fréquente le #Stonewall Inn, bar fréquenté par les personnes LGBT constamment harcelé entre autres par la police.

En 1969, on raconte que Marsha aurait lancé la première pierre contre la police de l'émeute de Stonewall, émeute dont elle deviendra l'héroïne et qui démarre une longue lutte pour la reconnaissance des droits des personnes LGBT.

Dans le documentaire Pay It No Mind, Marsha explique dans une interview qu’elle n’était en réalité pas là au début des émeutes et qu’il n’est arrivé qu’après les évènements... c’est Stormé Delarverie, qui a donné le premier coup à un policier qui voulait l’embarquer, déclenchant ainsi l’émeute.

Marsha mène alors de nombreux rassemblements et meetings et co-fonde la première association militante LGBT le « Gay Liberation Front » revendiquant un mouvement " revolutionnaire" pour l'émancipation des #LGBT, reflétant une défiance face à l'état et l'idée qu'il fallait radicalement transformer la société. Marsha se place du côté des plus opprimé.es et exclus de la société, les trans, les noirs et les sdf, d'autant qu'elle passa elle même une grande partie de sa vie à la rue. Elle se joint ainsi à d’autres mouvements autour de la détention carcérale ou des sans-abri.

Le 28 juin 1970 à New-York, elle participe à la première “Pride parade” en 1970 aux Etats-Unis. La même année elle co-fonde avec Silvia Rivera le STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) association qui vient en aide aux jeunes transgenres à New York. Dans les années 80 elle soutient la lutte contre le SIDA avec l'association ACT UP.

En 1922 son corps est retrouvé dans l’Hudson, bien que les circonstances soient troubles la police conclue à un suicide.

12 cents

* 12 cents left upon a store bench; in the day i'd have made a play, now i don't even flinch

skin flints & bad sense don’t really pay & my kin never raised me that way but hey - a dime ain't even a dollar worth swiping, out this mess like wes, so stop your sniping

12 cents was bus fare in my heyday riding publlc trans’ trying to earn a payday not talking bout the candy bar but the cheddar -or lettuce if you will - put in a mason jar with loose change & crumpled dollar bills.

that was past tense, now incomparable today the way inflation's made prices immense  & crime pay - but who's to say if things can stop, go back like they used to be - i don't know; but you still need to check your booster in ‘23, that’s fo sho -

as for me, fully vaxxed, no cap; i'm not a rapper, ...out of here with that; just maxxed with a chat & flow, OG in the undertow - understand - from the 'Go, 'round Lincoln's lay of the land...

never bringing a bullhorn to a mike stand, commanding ovations with pen, avant among men, en garde against the yang & its ‘yen’;

read/listen again if you miss ‘em: rhymed common sense in vents prepped so sweet you wanna kiss 'em   tout suite - without the mints; penny for your thoughts tho, mon ami; better yet, 12 cents.

hola cómo estás alguno de Morgan Davies

¿Si o no? (Morgan Davies x lectora)

Resumen: era sábado por la noche, y la tranquila sesión de videojuegos de la mujer se vio interrumpida por la llegada de su compañero de grabación.

Nota de autora: Hace mil años que no sé nada de la vida de Morgan. Bastante reservado el señor xd. Igual vi fotitos por ahí, se esta poniendo mazizo. Mi corazón ilusionado cree que se esta preparando para ser mi wawa Koby. Te dejo uno de mis shots favoritos de los que subí en Wattpad... No sé si me lees por ahí, tal vez te suene. Seguro suba cosas nuevas próximamente.

Masterlist de mi autoría

—Vuelves temprano.—

—Ya sabes qué pasó.—

____ le puso pausa a aquel juego, dedicándole mayor atención al chico que se sentaba en el sofá del otro lado de la mesita.

—¿Volvieron a rechazarte?—Morgan se desplomó por completo en el sofá, abrazándose a un pequeño almohadón.

La verdad era que desde que llegaron a la "ciudad de la fiesta", tanto Morgan como Gabrielle salían seguido por las noches. Por su parte, ____ no era tanto de ese estilo, prefería salir durante el día con Nelly para pasear juntas. Los padres de la niña congeniaron bastante con ella, asi que le confiaron la seguridad de su hija durante esa semana.

—Comienzo a pensar que el que esta mal soy yo... Por más increíble que eso suene.—____ sonrió antes de darle un sorbito al energizante sobre la mesita ratona.

—¿Ahora por qué fue?—

—Pues... Recapitulando... Dijo que yo era lindo.—

—Bien...—

—Dijo que tenía rasgos delicados o algo asi.—

—... Ya me imagino por dónde va esto.—

—Y luego otra chica me reconoció, y le dijo a esta otra chica en cuestión ¿"Sabes que es trans"?—Morgan rió con ironia—. Y se fue a quién sabe dónde...—

—Entonces viniste aquí, dejando que un ligue arruinado te deprimiera.—

—No fue el primero, linda.—____ suspiró, volviendo a darle play al juego.

—Ya, deja de amargarte con eso. Juega conmigo un rato, dormimos temprano y mañana vamos por Nelly. Le prometí que iríamos al acuario.—

—Para ti es fácil decirlo, no te rechazan en los bares... Nisiquiera vas.—

—¿Para qué? Si quiero beber, lo hago en mi casa. Es más barato, pongo la música que quiero y no me cruzo con imbéciles.—

—Asi no conocerás a ningún chico especial.—___ resopló con gracia.

—Créeme, si mi persona especial la encuentro en un bar, entonces no lo es.—lo miró—. Y tú tampoco busques a tu persona especial así, no seas desesperado.—

—¿Crees que algún día encuentre a una chica que no se espante porque no tengo un pene?—la chica rió con aquello, haciendo que Morgan riera también.

—Las adolescentes rellenan sus sostenes con calcetines, rellena tus boxers también y listo.—

—¡Que tonta!—____ esquivó entre risas el almohadón que el chico le lanzó.

—Poniéndonos serios, no te sientas mal con eso. Hay gente que te ama tal y como eres.—

—¿Como tú?—____ sonrió.

—Si, como yo. Y eso nunca cambiaría. Ni aunque metas calcetines en tus calzones.—

—... ¿Tú saldrías con un chico trans?—

—¿por qué no?—____ aún miraba la pantalla, cuidando no chocar su vehículo en aquel juego.

—... ¿Saldrías conmigo?—

____ se tildó por un segundo.

Y... Su auto se estrelló.

—¿Esa pregunta es capciosa?—lo miró, notando que Morgan desviaba la mirada al techo.

—Solo... Es una pregunta.—

—Somos amigos.—

—Eso no es excusa.—

—¿te gusto, Morgan?—

—¿Y yo? ¿Yo te gusto a ti?—____ no podía creer aquello.

—Hace cinco segundos estabas ofendido porque una desconocida te rechazó y ahora vienes a preguntar tonterías. Vete a dormir y no jodas.—Morgan se levantó, parándose frente al televisor.

—¡Oye!—

—Si te dijera que me gustas desde que empezaron las grabaciones de la película ¿Me creerías?—

—No, hazte a un lado.—

—¿Y si te dijera que tenía miedo de que me rechazaras?—

—Morgan...—

—Porque tú eres genial, y esperar que tú me dieras atención, era pedir mucho.—

—Ni que fuera Madonna.—

—Eres más, mucho más.—se acercó a ____, quitándole aquel mando y lanzándolo al sofá—. ¿Puedes decirme si o no entonces?—

—¿Si o no de qué?—

—¿Saldrías conmigo?—

—¿Tú saldrías conmigo?—

—No me la devuelvas.—____ lo miró fijamente, terminando por reír.

—Eres un bebé, eso eres.—

Al ver que la chica tenía intenciones de tomar el joystick de nuevo, Morgan tomó su mano. Aquello era algo desesperado, sí. Pero la besó.

—Si o no...—se separó apenas, ya algo ansioso por todo aquello. La chica acunó su rostro, mirándolo con cariño.

—¿Y si te rechazara como la chica del bar?—

—... Al menos lo harías con tacto ¿No?—la chica rió bajito antes de estampar sus labios sobre los de Morgan. Luego una y otra vez.

—Solo te molestaba, tonto. Sí saldría contigo ¿Es lo que quieres?—

—¿Y tú quieres?—____ lo rodeó entre sus brazos, tumbándolo en el sofá.

—Desde que dijiste tu nombre el primer día de grabación, Morgan.—se sintió morir apenas la chica besó su cuello.

—Bueno, a mi me gustabas de antes. Te vi en esa serie de hace unos años.—

—¿Eras mi fan?—

—Lo sigo siendo.—

—... Pues ahora eres mi novio.—____ sonrió, sintiendo como Morgan se acurrucaba a su lado.

[lettucedloophole]

contrary to popular belief, the sex abolitionist perspective does not necessitate the denial of biological differences which objectively exist. it seeks to destroy the social categories into which those traits are separated (male & female), as well as the significance of those traits in society.

a decent comparison is eye colour (barring the role they play in nazi race theory & the social construct of race in general)-- we know people have different eye colours, we know they react to light differently. however, we don't sort people by their eye colour and assign social meanings (gender) to those biological traits. we don't group them by specific names by their biological similarities (sex).

it's often presumed by terfs that sex being abolished would mean the continued ignorance of maladies like uterine conditions & pregnancy issues, but i would argue that the presence of hierarchal sex categories is what causes these discrepancies in healthcare-- much like race, how skin conditions in darker skinned people go unnoticed because white is the default, & racist mythology (like that of black people being able to withstand more pain) is perpetuated. it happens because the hierarchal categories of black & white exist– same with sex. you cannot separate woman from the patriarchy which imagined her.

why? well, the origin of the sexual division in labour (& thus, patriarchy) was that, some people gave birth. they didn't know how or why, and couldn't stop it, and they were responsible for the survival of the species. equal conditions cannot exist if afab people do not have access to abortion & the choice to opt out of pregnancy en masse (i.e. artificial wombs + higher quality contraception) to maintain humanity. we need a world where, if every afab person decided to stop reproducing (something more likely once pregnancy is demystified & deromanticized by feminism), there would be nothing coercing them to.

therefore, by eliminating pregnancy, we would elimate the conditions which caused the patriarchy to manifest. the thing that caused some class of unfortunate people to be deemed "women," and damned them to a lesser existence with the chains of a body they had no control over. there's a quote in the xenofeminist manifesto which illustrates this point quite well: "if nature is unjust, change nature."

terfs end up at the opposite of this, regardless of what they claim. trying to salvage the term "woman" necessitates maintaining the conditions which brought about the division of people into sexes in the first place. anti-natalist (or pregnancy-critical, a la dialectic of sex) terfs may claim otherwise, but the more insane conservative ones who refuse to read an ounce of feminist theory reveal where sex-preservation leads--

essentially, "we cannot fight the patriarchy because men might hurt us." but men ALREADY hurt us, for everything and nothing. also, this;

trans people are cis women's natural ally in challenging the permanence of nature, and proving the malleability of it. as well as the "radical sex similarity" dworkin refers to in this quote;

important because, as mackinnon said, "male dominant society has defined women as a discrete biological group forever. if this was going to produce liberation, we’d be free." exaggerating the differences between men & women will not free us... much like creating more genders (the liberal trans-inclusive "solution" for patriarchy) coming up with new sex categories will not work, as the majority will remain female or male & be violently sorted into one category or the other.

we see this already with intersex people, and the mutilation of intersex newborns to fit the norms of "natural" sex categories (barring surgeries that deal with potentially lethal conditions.) if we concede even, that sex is bimodal, we leave afab people who do not fit the standard of "biological womanhood" (things that women have but less commonly, bigger feet, larger brow bones, taller heights, etc) and vice versa for amab people and the standards of manhood.

you can still disagree that the term "women" & the sex binary can be salvaged, but understand this is rather similar to the idea that you can separate Woman the Gender from the harmful aspects of gender due to how closely sex and gender intertwine. so closely, that so-called (trans exclusive) "radfems" have reinforced gender by policing trans people or transvestigating cis women.

so, in post-patriarchy, i'd imagine there would be no women or men. just people who menstruate, people who don't, etcetera. similar to what liberals pose today for trans-inclusive language (barring the covertly misogynistic alternatives like "menstruators" or "vagina-havers")-- and of course, part of why terfs are against this is the preservation of womanhood as a natural category, which i've discussed the pitfalls of above.

Ni un solo momento, viejo hermoso Walt Whitman, he dejado de ver tu barba llena de mariposas, ni tus hombros de pana gastados por la luna, ni tus muslos de Apolo virginal, ni tu voz como una columna de ceniza; anciano hermoso como la niebla que gemías igual que un pájaro con el sexo atravesado por una aguja, enemigo del sátiro, enemigo de la vid y amante de los cuerpos bajo la burda tela. Ni un solo momento, hermosura viril que en montes de carbón, anuncios y ferrocarriles, soñabas ser un río y dormir como un río con aquel camarada que pondría en tu pecho un pequeño dolor de ignorante leopardo. Ni un sólo momento, Adán de sangre, macho, hombre solo en el mar, viejo hermoso Walt Whitman, porque por las azoteas, agrupados en los bares, saliendo en racimos de las alcantarillas, temblando entre las piernas de los chauffeurs o girando en las plataformas del ajenjo, los maricas, Walt Whitman, te soñaban. Not for one moment, Walt Whitman, comely old man, have I ceased to envision your beard full of butterflies, your corduroy shoulders worn thin by the moon, your chaste Apollonian thighs, your voice like a pillar of ashes; patriarch, comely as mist, you cried like a bird whose sex is transfixed by a needle; satyr's antagonist, grapevine's antagonist, and lover of bodies under the nap of the cloth. Not for a moment, manly and comely one, on mountains of railroads and coal and advertisements, but you dreamed yourself river, and slept like a river, with that comrade who took to your heart the little complaint of the ignorant leopard. Not for a moment, blood-brother, Adam, and masculine, lone man in a sea, Walt Whitman, comely old man— for look! on the rooftops, or huddled in bars, or leaping in packs from the gutters, or held between the legs of the motorist, shuddering, or whirling on platforms of absinthe, the perverts, Walt Whitman, all dreaming you! —from "Ode To Walt Whitman" by Federico Garcia Lorca, trans. Ben Belitt

[el-blog-del-bal-papi]

¿Por qué "LOVE is LOVE" ya no es suficiente? Realidad y necesidades del colectivo LGBTQIAP+ en la actualidad.

Hoy es día del orgullo LGBTQIAP+, aun no estoy seguro de saber cómo iniciar un Blog, pero ¡Oye!, es un buen momento para comenzar. Por supuesto deseaba tocar este tema y no solo por ser un día de celebración, tenemos mucho que celebrar y aunque este blog no está hecho para enumerar esas cosas si lo está para recordar esa razón por la que se recuerda este día. Es un día de conmemoración y lucha y me temo que hasta que cada uno de nosotres tenga todos los derechos seremos un dolor de cabeza para cada homofóbico.

El colectivo ha pasado, así como Taylor Swift, por un montón de Eras en las que lo único que jamás hicimos fue pedir perdón ni pedir permiso, principalmente porque nadie debería pedir ninguna de las dos por ser quien es. Es durante la última "Era" en que las redes y medios sociales se han tomado la oportunidad de mirar a un mercado que no creían remunerable, el llamado "Mercado Rosa".

Aunque no me consideraría a mí mismo un beneficiado de este mercado debo admitir que es mucho más sencillo adquirir un montón de productos que digan "Si, soy Bisexual" a un precio accesible y de manera sencilla gracias a la competencia entre marcas por tener más productos. Pero ¿Hay algo malo con eso?, Bueno, así como estrellas en el cielo habrá un montón de opiniones, y no creo que sea la pregunta correcta.

En el Marco de ENDOSIG, la Encuesta sobre Discriminación por motivos de Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género 2018 hecha por CONAPRED, indica que el 28.3% de las personas encuestadas fueron discriminadas al no poder entrar a algún Cine, Restaurante o Bar, ¿pero no acaso vemos algunos de estos establecimientos con sus carros en nuestras marchas?, o ¿rodeados de arcoíris en sus cuentas?, Algo definitivamente no concuerda.

Habrá que revisar entonces el montón de denuncias hechas por nuestros hermanos, hermanas y hermanes hechas a diario en Twitter, nos daríamos una idea de que el problema es más grave de lo que se cree. Incluso establecimientos dedicados a ser supuestos espacios seguros para la comunidad, bares y Cafés temáticos como VIDA Café en Guadalajara con sus casos de discriminación, Rico Club en CDMX que fue y es todo un caso, y así esa larga y deprimente lista de casos y fuentes. Que difícil es verlo o vivirlo a diario, Carajo.

Naturalmente esto más que solo ser una queja debería abrir una conversación desde adentro de la comunidad, ¿LOVE is LOVE es suficiente?, Señor Marca, ¿Usted cree que de amor se vive?, Love Is Love fue durante años esa frase que recitábamos como un mantra, un discurso único, el Credo LGBT para palmearnos la espalda y decir "Estamos por la misma lucha", Pero los tiempos cambian y las luchas evolucionan, la respuesta sencilla es No, no es suficiente.

En 2023 la Marca de cerveza BUD LIGHT se asocia una famosa influencer de la comunidad Trans, Mulvaney, hecho que les represento un boicot mediático de parte de detractores del movimiento. Casos como el de Target también en Estados Unidos, Walmart y otras más marcas que lejos de incrementar su aceptación en una comunidad que la verdad le da lo mismo y solo quiere encontrar pollo barato para la cena se ha visto en cambio en medio de comentarios negativos por un montón de personas que creen que Arcoíris es igual todo lo LGBTQIAP+ o que temen por sus vidas cuando alguien dice "Amigue" llamándole imposición a una conversación que no les compete y Mientras estas marcas ven el abrirse a la diversidad como un favor a nuestra comunidad, cosa que no lo es.

Las Necesidades de la comunidad van más allá de Amor Es Amor, van más allá de Playeras con banderas arcoíris y Taylor Swift o Katy Perry sonando en las tiendas de ropa. Las personas VIH+ peleando a diario por un poco abastecido número de medicamentos en nuestro país, México siendo el segundo lugar en América Latina con más mujeres Trans asesinadas, el invisibilizar de las lesbianas aun dentro de la comunidad, o la inacción de los gobiernos por dar seguridad, servicios de salud o vivienda digna las poblaciones históricamente rechazadas, esos si son problemas y si bien una marca no lo resolverá, la decisión correcta siempre será estar de lado correcto de la historia.

No es suficiente hablar de la hipocresía de estas marcas al subirse a nuestro movimiento con sus productos, también se debe indicar los casos de PinkWashing o LavadoRosa, acciones que mediante estas tácticas de marketing intentan lavar su imagen, pero sin cambiar nada dentro o fuera de sus establecimientos. Con playera de del día de la mujer o Pantalones de unicornios no se borrarán los actos de discriminación cada vez que alguien fuera de la norma entra a un Liverpool.

Mas preguntas vienen a la conversación ¿Es el mercado rosa lo mismo que la representación?, pue no, no lo es, ¿El mercado Rosa es malo?, solo si tu playera de algodón de Britney Spears comprada en C&A aún necesita dos lavadas más para quitarle las manchas de lubricante y seguir gastando agua. Lo importante y a lo que quiero llegar, es que el que tu bandera este en un anuncio no debe hacerte creer que ya ganamos una guerra que llega a ser a veces por nuestras vidas.

Con tantos crímenes de odio contra la comunidad, Discursos de odio que atentan contra la dignidad de la comunidad, violencia sistemática en servicios de salud, ECOSIG y violencia interseccional hay tanto por pelear, aunque no, Señor Marca, "LOVE is LOVE" no es suficiente y si a usted no le importa la vida y dignidad de mi comunidad a mi si, así que le pido, hágase para atrás, déjeme hablar y ¡cállese el perro hocico! Por lo que, si su discurso no es como mínimo "Derechos para todas las personas", mejor quédese contaminando la tierra como hasta ahora que eso le sale muy bien, acá los JOvenciTOS estamos trabajando, resistiendo y existiendo por algo más que el "LOVE is LOVE", no me reduzco a eso y no planeo permitir que alguien si rostro me reduzca a eso.

Hay estábamos y hay estaremos.

Hay estábamos, apenas dos desconocidos aún sin saber el porqué, el porque nuestro destino nos ponía uno enfrente al otro. Ella lo llamaba suerte y yo le decía que era destino, dos polos aparte pero que se atraían.

La suerte la creas y el destino solo surge, emerge y se materializa, revelándose en nuestras vidas de frente a nuestras narices.

Hay estábamos, desde el primer momento nuestras miradas ya se hablaban, como si se conocieran ya, se sentían y se expresaban como si las dos fueran íntimas, como si nuestros destinos ya se hubieran conocido antes tal vez lo sabían y esperaban el momento de encontrarse.

Hay estábamos, nos mirábamos para ella mi mirada, mis ojos decían tanto, podía leer en mi, a través de mi. Para mi sus ojos pedían ayuda, brillaban me decían dame un poco de ti, de ese coraje, de esas ganas de salir al mundo y cometerlo, para ella eran profundos nuestras miradas podrían atravesar cualquier obstáculo o como lo llamaba ella, un muro, no importaba como fuera este muro, podíamos atravesarlo. No interesaba como estuviera formado , si por miedos, inseguridades. De una manera u otra yo también tenia un muro, la diferencia era que el mío estaba hecho de cristal, frágil y delicado. Y por eso ella pudo ver a través y llegar a mis ojos.

Hay estábamos, ya no éramos dos desconocidos este muro imaginario empezaba a tener aperturas así dejando lugar a saber más y más el uno del otro. Las sensaciones y emociones empezaban a tomar forma, la intriga hacia camino al interés y las preguntas empezaban a aparecer. Habíamos dejado entrar un poco del otro.

Hay estábamos, pasaban los minutos, las horas, días y hay estábamos siempre en el mismo bar a la misma hora el mismo café y el cigarro después, nos seguíamos conociendo, sabiendo un poco más del otro,nos sorprendíamos, sentíamos curiosidad y lo más lindo nos mirábamos y manteníamos nuestra miradas fijadas en un silencio rotundo. Por momentos, momentos de silencio total, nos estábamos leyendo y sin darnos cuenta mientras lo hacíamos escribíamos nuestro destino, ese destino que ella llamaba suerte ahora venía escrito letra por letra, palabra por palabra y empezaban hacer y crear forma a lo que sería un texto o tal vez una historia.

Hay estábamos, habíamos creado un legame, un legame creado en tan poco tiempo pero que no nos hacía preguntarnos el porqué. Fue en un instante, ni siquiera nos dimos cuenta. Era de noche, nos veíamos por segunda vez en un día, no había todavía pasado pero nuestros muros necesitaban del otro para mantenerse en pie.

Era una noche perfecta, ni frío ni calor, cielo y estrellas atrás de nubes negras, la luna tenía su lugar cada tanto se dejaba ver y nos iluminaba con su luz , nos dejaba desnudos, nos atravesaba y mágicamente pasaba a través de estos dos muros imaginarios que habíamos creado para protegernos, pero no de nosotros sino de los demás. Eso creíamos porque cuando la luz entraba a través de los muros, un poco de nosotros aprovechaba para atravesar también y dejar algo del otro dentro, tanto dentro que de pensarlo nos venían cosquillas en el estómago pero era una linda sensación, única que cuando sucedía la abrazaba con todas mis fuerzas.

Hay estábamos, nos contábamos todo, nuestro pasado, nuestras experiencias pasadas, hablábamos del presente y dejábamos un pequeño espacio al futuro pero muy pequeño porque no queríamos alejarnos del presente que estábamos viviendo ahora, no querías cerrar los ojos y saber que sería tiempo de dejarnos ir, aunque fuera hasta el otro día, aunque solo unas horas porque nos volveríamos a ver de nuevo mañana. Hablábamos de las veces que rompieron nuestro corazón, cuantas veces lo han roto y cuantas veces fueron … pero sin saberlo los dos teníamos la pieza para repararlo como si fuéramos dos rompecabezas.

Nos sentíamos bien, nos gustaba estar el uno con el otro y repetíamos a continuación ¡cuánto me haces bien!

Nos estábamos dejando desnudar delante un mar bellísimo con su ruido y tranquilidad, serenidad y paz. Nos daba la sensación de estar en el lugar y tiempo correcto.

Hay estábamos, todavía cada tanto se mantenía ese silencio donde nos mirábamos y nuestras miradas se hablaban entre ellas y nosotros éramos afuera de esa conversación, pero a la misma vez, éramos la raíz de ese tulipán que nacía y nace hasta hoy, tarde o temprano tomará forma, será maduro y tan grande que pasará ese muro.

Hay estábamos y hay estaremos.
