“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”

I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

okay so now that it's actually crab day i just realized another thing that bothers me about it. it is still disability pride month. you're telling me. that we're throwing a Tumblr Fundraiser Holiday. in the midst of countless real disabled ppl trying to speak up about tumblr's unwillingness to fix massive issues like regularly letting dangerous, seizure inducing content get blazed and then suggesting that photosensitive users pay to make it stop instead of fixing the problem. during the month specifically about celebrating and listening to disabled people???

Boops are on. If someone has not opted in, the following does not apply.

If you’re on the dashboard of an iOS app, there will be purple text next to their url that says boop. Tapping this will boop your victim. Click their url to go to their blog. The ‘make a post’ bubble will transform to a boop bubble. Tapping this will boop your victim. Tapping and holding this button until it spins once (approximately 5-10 seconds) will super boop your victim. Tapping and holding this button until it spins twice (approximately 10-15 seconds) will evil boop your victim.

Again this is information for the most recent version of the iOS app. Feel free to add desktop and android app instructions as you deem useful.

Hey I think my tumblr app is broken

[ineffectualdemon]

Just FYI the only time I get even a little annoyed about being blocked is if someone sends me a long shitty message and then blocks me before I can read it but I can still see part of it in my notifications

Like come on. That's annoying

Otherwise if I get blocked I really really don't care

Sometimes I'll mention it as "huh. So that's what did it."

But I don't keep thinking about it past the post where I mention that

I much rather people block me then send me anon hate

[hedge-rambles]

Tumblr is constantly trying to let me know I can pay for ad-free usage but why on earth would I want to miss out on adverts like this???

Like ok, I'm listening

Hello! In light of tumblr's recent updates, I propose a review bombing. Please leave a 1 star review and elaborate on why these updates are actively making the site worse (my big things are the bot problem, tumblr live, video player, and the photo viewer, all bad)

I know I already commented on both of these individually, but this is just so dear to me:

A) The duality of man

B) You love me. You really love me.

So I occasionally browse the notes of this blog just because I know some people Can't Resist Being Shitty in the notes and I occasionally need to go through and block just to keep this blog's engagement positive. However, this evening I found something in the notes that's not exactly...shitty...and more, uh...okay, it's hard to explain. But I felt it's something I wanted to address.

Apparently one of my original posts made it into some fandom drama blogs. I don't really place any restrictions on what blogs people are allowed to reblog my posts to, so I don't necessarily take issue with that. Just a handful of people who Really Like a certain male celebrity (me too btw, but that's not what this is about) and have blogs dedicated to him and have a chain post arguing with each other in my notes.

And I guess in this small segment of the Internet people are getting angry that one blogger made a "woman's issue" about a rich white man. While I never intended my post to be about this certain celebrity, I did want to address something. I am a woman, a cis woman, and so a lot of my posts are about issues that primarily occur in women. But I think it's better if my blog is not exclusive. It's not ONLY women who have these issues. I don't want to make ANYONE'S struggle invisible on this blog.

For example, the original post mentioned things like cellulite, which occurs more often in AFAB bodies than AMAB bodies. However, trans men have AFAB bodies, and some enbies do too. That might be something that causes them to have body image issues, and I would never want them to feel like they can't engage with/relate to a post I made (that never specifically mentioned women btw). Women of course are free to relate to it too!

The post additionally mentioned things like stretch marks and aging wrinkles. AFAB and AMAB bodies both get these.

Not specified in the post, but it's also a natural part of the human experience for disabled people to have stigmatized body differences, and need to love their own bodies as well. Physical disabilities can occur in both AMAB and AFAB people.

I don't know, maybe I didn't need to make this a whole thing. I chose not to engage in that post or respond to anybody on it because it had so little to do with what my blog is actually about, just a lot of people loudly disagreeing on how to be a fan of That One Male Celebrity. Really just Tumblr Being Tumblr. But I think it's important for us to talk about this in ED recovery communities, and recognize it.

It's okay for us to want our own struggle seen and recognized. But we should also take the time to recognize the ED experiences of people whose stories are very different from ours. The traditional ED public narrative tends to be a skinny white cis girl who has anorexia or bulimia. But those who don't fit that narrative still need support and healing. I just want to create a space where everyone can experience that and learn in a positive way.

So unless I make a post that specifically mentions that it's about women - my posts are generally not just for women. I don't believe it takes away any specific resources - since access to my posts are not on a first-come-first-serve basis - for people who do not identify as women to engage a post that many women also identify with. In fact, I hope it might help us to better build a stronger, more understanding recovery community with a diverse understanding of ED experiences.

Off soapbox, send post.
