“It’s a common misconception that members of gay relationships have to map onto the roles of a straight couple: woman and asshole,” said Acharya. “But neither of us is the asshole; that’s the entire point.”
Ryser had a number of follow-up questions to this explanation.
“So, if neither of you is the asshole,” said Ryser, “then who plays devil’s advocate when you’re having sensitive political conversations? Who takes the other person’s side when you describe a microaggression? And who gets furious when you’re driving and one of you has to pee?”
Demonstrating immense patience, Acharya tried once more to help Ryser understand.
“None of those things are necessary for a relationship,” said Acharya. “In fact, they’re all bad. People in straight relationships should not do those things either.”
god a commercial just came on advertising like, some Creme TM to “prevent” neck wrinkles on women and it was like “for all the women not afraid to stick their neck out” [clips of women as leaders in business and sports etc.] “show your confidence, not your age”
and I’m just like, , ,, , , ,
the absolute
Hypocrisy of that message.
At this point I truly can’t tell if “beauty” companies are willfully ignorant or just knowingly evil
“be a Strong Woman. Don’t be afraid to push boundaries, break the rules, set your own standards!! Be a Leader! Be successful! Be proud!
Proud of everything but that loose skin you get when you age naturally ew???? Do all of those things as long as you do it while spending all your success Money trying to hide the fact that you are in fact a human being who is affected by Time.”
boyfriend and i moved in together about six months ago, and due to both of our hectic schedules and the crazy conditions under which we moved, we brought about two months of dirty laundry per person into the apartment when we got here. we keep trying to catch up, but with a communal washer/dryer situation and our crazy schedules (and we can’t use the laundry room past 8), it’s been impossible to catch up. we live among drifts of laundry and i absolutely hate it.
i finally bit the bullet and sent about fifty pounds (at my estimate) of laundry to a fluff and fold service. it’ll be pretty expensive, but it’s worth it to me to live in a clean space again. they just picked up the laundry an hour ago and i already feel so much lighter. TIME TO UNFUCK MY HABITAT FOR THE HOLIDAYS
………….we knew this shit was an issue that staff has been ignoring for ages but it finally came to bite them in the ass
hey general psa that in the notes theres a bunch of really stupid misinformation bullshit (as i should have expected) abt how this is a fandom thing, about fanart/fanfiction, and i would just like to clarify for as many people as i can that this is not a fandom thing at all, it is an issue targeting IRL minors.
minors have been running “sex work” blogs, selling private snapchats, et cetera, using tumblr as their platforms. there are also adult rings of CP (photographs and videos of IRL minors) distributors on tumblr that have managed to slip by filters. this is the issue being looked into by law enforcement, this is the issue being pursued by tumblr, and it is the reason the purge is being done so hastily and messily (protection of minors being sexually trafficked is generally more important than avoiding Jane Doe #193′s doctor who blog being nuked by accident). reporting fandom blogs to tumblr for written content and fanart is only going to confuse the matter further and make it more likely that minors will be put at greater risk (if fake reports come in massive quantities and drown out the real reports or make alarm fatigue likely).
please don’t spread misinformation y’all!
emphasis:

I cannot emphasize enough that this not about fandom right now, it’s not about your witchhunt against Ao3, it’s not about your blog going away (ps. if your blog accidentally gets deleted in the purge it seems like you can contact Tumblr and they will restore it), it’s about Tumblr ignoring a VERY REAL PROBLEM for a VERY LONG TIME (when we told them and told them and told them) and finally being forced to do something about it THANK GOD.
