#use tags

[1seaweedbrain1]

imma be honest im squinting real hard @ fic writers who tag "dubcon" instead of rape/non con when the dude is not able to give consent. like at least put the warning, i see dubcon im thinking maybe theyre real drunk or its a lil funky or something not he technically said yes but only bc other dude said hed kill his brothers. the point of the tag is to tell me wtf im going into. if he said yes under duress that should have a rape warning "but people filter out that warning" YEAH THATS WHY THERE ARE TAGS. SO YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE. womp womp someone doesnt wanna read about rape, thats fine dont make them. ik a lot of yall writing that are adults, and if you arent you are writing about an 18+ topic so act like it and fucking tag your shit.

Hi,

This is me, Noura Ayman,

A medical lab specialist and I have been working in the Turkish Friendship Hospital for four years and studying a master's degree at Al-Aqsa University but have not yet finished it.

I am married to Ibrahim who works the same profession at Al-Shifa Hospital and we were studying a master's degree together.

My story in short is that we have been out of Gaza for treatment in Egypt since July 2023, and we have done an “in vitro fertilization” to give birth after four failed operations in Gaza.

We had a very beautiful baby.

But sadly that the war happened in Gaza in October 2023 and we have been stuck in Egypt ever since without any source of income, and I don't know how to provide for my beautiful daughter's Hanan needs and how to pay for the house and the rest of life, plus our house was bombed in Gaza.

So please support me to set up my own medical analysis laboratory and complete a master's degree in Egypt.

I've launched a https://gofund.me/32f1f5e4 campaign to start our life from the beginning.

I thank you very much for your interest and support.

If you find this story touching and wish to support then there is a gofundme page that this individual has created. Unfortunately I can not verify them so if that's a dealbreaker, there are several verified gofundme accounts from various palestinians.

Feel free to donate to this poor individual

i wish you freaks would start to tag your posts appropriately.

Please tag your posts and reblogs with some kind of tag.

There are some people in the world who get anxiety and phobias from seeing certain types of things. If you don't tag these things, they cannot keep themselves safe and still enjoy your sims.

Then they unfollow you because you become a source of stress for them. I see so many people who are sad because they never get interaction with their sims posts in between posts that aren't sims related, but things they're passionate about that have no tags at all... this is one of the reasons you're not getting enough interaction with people. If you tag everything then people can still feel safe on your blog and block the things that cause them anxiety.

Be responsible, not part of the problem. It doesn't take that long to add a couple of tags regarding your post topic.

Contributing to the Reddit migration by encouraging people to just look for tags and topics you enjoy, reblog liberally, follow for fun, and block if necessary. Get silly w it :3 combine the Reddit ecosystem w the present tumblr one :)

no pls tag nsfw art as NSFW ART. im in school, i cant be scrolling past boobs in class. thats NOT GOOD.

[cljordan-imperium]

I am going to ask nicely because up until recently I haven't had this problem....

PLEASE USE TRIGGER WARNINGS AND TAGS Y'ALL!!!

I DO NOT want dead children, antisemitism, gore, or other shit on my timelines that I have specifically blocked words, phrases, tags, etc.

It has really ruined my day. Don't preach tolerance and call for death to an entire ethnic group.

[a03-anxiousandafraid]

If you post Tears of the Kingdom spoilers without tags I WILL block you. I don't care how long we've been mutuals, do NOT spread those to people who don't want to see it

(and if tumblr fucks up and doesn't filter correctly I'm sorry but I'm blocking in this situation too just to be safe)

Hi. Coming on here to talk a bit about the topic.

You may or may not have noticed but I am very generous with tags here and on AO3. That’s because I have experience with interacting with a wide range of people, and that I, myself, would really appreciate it if some of the things I don’t want to see are tagged and some of the things I do want to see are also tagged.

“Tagging is a courtesy, not a requirement” is NOT an excuse. Why not be courteous, when it’s so easy?

And hey. Sometimes the potential risks for someone if something they block tags for isn’t tagged are much greater than you may think. The reason I tag fast GIFs as such is because I literally know a person in real life who had a seizure because she was watching a librarian shelve books and the fast motion triggered her epilepsy. I know someone who is thankfully doing much better these days and no longer has lepidopteraphobia, but when she had it the mere glimpse of a butterfly would send her spiraling into a panic attack and feeling suicidal afterwards.

And of course, some people really want to see fast motion and butterflies. A lot of people. So tags are a way to seek out things you want, too.

Same rules apply to other stuff, stuff that a lot of people want or need to see, stuff that a lot of people don’t, stuff that’s super niche, stuff that doesn’t have a lot of high stakes associated with it, stuff that does, etc. Heck, this very post is going to have some serious tagging!

And on the other end of things, it’s okay to block tags. It’s okay to block people. I have blocklists that are very long because I have enough to deal with without people and things that bother me and/or trigger my mental illnesses popping up all over the place.

Ok I want to say something controversial

But you are responsible for your own safe spaces. You can block tags, block words, block people.

“But i thought fandom was supposed to be a safe space” —yeah you have to curate it.

Unfortunately one persons’s safe space may be another persons’ trigger. That’s ok. Simply block them, block the tag, block the word etc. They can do the same for you.

Maybe I’m just out of touch, but I’ve been around since the days of “don’t like, don’t read” and that’s a good philosophy. If it squicks you, scroll past. If it causes you anxiety or upset, block! Plenty of people are responsive if you ask them to tag an upsetting trigger. And if they’re dicks about it, block em.

[gaddaboutgriffon]

Seriously though, please Tag things and make it easier for us to filter.

i'll never understand why some people have a problem with trigger warnings. if the content being warned for doesn't bother you then you can just use it as a recommendation. literally where is the problem. everyone wins.

I’ve got my tumblr inbox turned off so I really have to commend the person who actually emailed me to let me know they don’t like the things I’ve posted about the UnitedHealth CEO being murdered on their commitment to their beliefs.

But seen as how you emailed me from a dud email that appears to be bouncing back replies and I really wanted to address something you said to me about violence begetting violence:

My migraine medication, the medication I was given for my debilitating neurological disease that has gotten so bad I spent most of this year actively suicidal, costs $1300 a month.

My insurance covered it. But only because my doctors office went to fucking war for me because I’m a high anaphylaxis risk for the drugs the insurance wanted me to try.

Because that’s the thing.

My doctors knew, based on my documented medical history, I likely wouldn’t be a good fit for the “first line” of preventative migraine drugs, but because of insurance, I had to be given drugs that were contradictory to my other life threatening conditions, because otherwise insurance wouldn’t cover anything else.

I failed them. Spectacularly and with an anaphylactic reaction to one of them. And I was still warned insurance would fight me because I hadn’t tried the remaining drug they wanted me to try.

A drug which I would have to take in an ER waiting room because my mast cell disease is unpredictable but insurance wouldn’t cover in-patient treatment to let me try it safely under medical supervision.

Is that not violence?

Were all the times I was denied coverage for vital and necessary procedures that could have prevented my disabilities from worsening not violence?

Maybe not in the sense you mean. But I assure you it felt very much like violence to me.

Do I condone murder? No, obviously. But I’m also sick and tired of people pretending that what is happening to the American people every day isn’t eugenics through class warfare.

Violence begets violence.

It sure fucking does.

Maybe these insurance companies should have thought of that first.
