why do people not understand that being trans isn’t a choice.

people really think i want this? that i want to go through therapy and medical procedure’s just to be comfortable in my own fucking body?

if i had a choice I wouldn’t be trans

I’ve made up so many personalities to act around people that I barely know who I am anymore

okay im probably very behind but. what the actual fuck did tunglr dot hell do to the image+video function on mobile (rant ahead)

i used to be able to tap an image to bring it up to fullscreen, and from there i was able to zoom in+out (whether with a pinch in/out OR a doubletap), swipe left/right (to slideshow thru every image in the entire thread, whether in the original post or the subsequent reblogs), and ALSO swipe up/down to leave and go back to my dash and the full post. going fullscreen brought up the lil like/rb/share icons in the corner, but if you didnt need them, tapping once on the image made them disappear so you could Focus On The Image You Were Looking At.

with videos, i could click to bring it fullscreen, tap the centre of the screen to pause, and swipe left or right to skip however far forward or back. tapping elsewhere onscreen made the time bar on the bottom pop up, along with the mute/unmute icon and the like/rb/share icons. tapping again made these things disappear. swiping up or down would slide you out of the fullscreen viewer and back to your dash.

this was perfect! it worked wonderfully! no complaints!

but NOW when i click an image, it gives me all this extraneous information i Didn't Fucking Need Or Want (whoever's blog it came from, plus who THEY reblogged it from, plus a tiny snippet of a random caption ((not alt text!! not image ids!! just Other Words!!)) that MAY OR MAY NOT even be from the specific version of the thread im looking at, PLUS the number of images youre swiping thru, P L U S the like/rb/share icons.)

Nothing Makes This Bullshit Go Away. and having all that extra bullshit in the way fucks up the image quality all to hell anyway, but ALSO?? no longer can i even ZOOM IN ON THE IMAGES. it doesnt allow you to swipe through every image in the thread anymore, just the images in *that particular section* of the chain!! on top of all THAT, you cannot swipe out to exit this view anymore! you have to press your back button! bc APPARENTLY by SWIPING UP ((ON AN IMAGE, MIND YOU, NOT EVEN A VIDEO)), it tries to take you to something called """"tumblr tv"""" which im assuming is their version of endless fucking tiktok scrolling/instagram reels. which... fuck that noise, all the way to hell.

on trying to watch a regular-ass video, it gave me a similar amount of extraneous annoying information that i couldnt tap away from. like how fucking tiktok has it so you cant escape the side icons+captions+user handles and shit. i dont WANT that shit. if i clicked to make the video fullscreen, i want the video to be taking up the full screen!! i dont WANT none of this weird other shit you cant get rid of,, i have no use for it!! thats what playing the video OUT OF FULLSCREEN IS FOR, Hellsite You Idiot Bastard.

so uhh. anyway. if anyone has any ideas for how i can Get Rid Of/Turn Off this goddamn fucking """feature,""" i would really appreciate it. i did a once-over of settings earlier but didnt see any new obviously stupid buttons, so im not sure where else to start

Anyone else like genuinely hate the Harkness test?

It's an imaginary monster that literally does not exist in real life. Who cares if it can communicate as a human would? It's not real! You can't actually fuck it anyway!!

[bythehearts]

every year since I’ve moved in this godforsaken city for uni I leave in december thinking “oh you know what? it’s not even that cold, this is good, I can take this, I must’ve gotten used to the cold,” and every goddamn year our lord sent on earth ever since I come back in january and I stand fucking corrected

For the past few years I really felt like we were getting over Valentine's Day like as a culture. But I guess that was just pandemic weirdness.

This year Valentine's Day has felt very... Present and kind of... Challenging? I dunno. It just seems like I'm being bombarded with a lot of romance bullshit and friends who don't normally have stuff going on suddenly all have dates. Whatever. I'm gonna really ignore this capitalism bullshit holiday I guess.

[beepmon]

the worst part of therapy and trying to get better is acknowledging that i can’t bottle up my feelings anymore and have to actually feel them bc the reason i wasn’t letting myself feel stuff is bc my feelings suck and feel bad and i’m more miserable now instead of repressed and miserable

It was a personal challenge, and yeah, I totally admit I was kind of a snob behind the scenes when I wrote it. I tried to write a popular genre in a popular style to see if I could just be fucking lazy and publish generic romantacy YA books with little care for their contents. Y'know, typical BookTok fodder. I could not finish writing the damn thing, because I hated it and myself far too much. I have no idea how other writers do it, other than they don't care, just as long as they're popular.

if you're cringing at the genre conventions of the genre you are writing in then why the hell are you writing in it. either have something substantial to say about those conventions or shut the hell up! i will not cringe alongside you at superhero powers and spaceship battles and big eldritch worms and bone magic. i came to this story to SEE that shit and I don't appreciate it when an author tries to pretend they're above the very things they're selling themselves on

I couldn't have said it better myself.
