Steve Rogers, at your service. mun is 32 I operate primarily from mobile. Also, if you want to RP, please just send a starting ask. Asking me if I want to RP triggers my social anxiety. I always want to RP, but if what you want to RP contains sensitive material, just shoot an ask checking about the trigger. :)

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

highlights of the responses:

  • the solid hundred americans saying "idk general american". i dont know what that is so im gonna pretend you mean "I sound like a disney channel character"
  • shoutout to whoever said "gay". also whoever said "autism".
  • to those curious; 'newfoundland' accents are what everyone i know says to refer to the stereotypical "canadian accent" that bad american TV has, 'cause you're basically only gonna hear that in a random fishing town on the Maritimes' coast.
  • the fact that almost every french person called their accent sexy
  • all my fellow canadians who are saying "canadian but i dONT SOUND NEWFIE" like yes babe we are not all One Single Fishing Town Accent (no hate to the newfies tho ily)
  • the one who said "i sound like siri. i have no accent" meanwhile siri is So Fucking Accented to my ears
  • the amount of people with english as a second language in the notes who now love their accents <3 that's great, love urself
  • everyone going "i'm TOLD i sound british. please not that"
  • the one person who described their accent instead of just saying a word. they happened to be canadian and i was like "you just. absolutely and totally described how i talk"
  • the amount of californians going "californian but i dONT SOUND SURFER OR VALLEY GIRL" like the US version of "im not newfie"
  • the one single californian who was like "yeah i sound surfer. what are u gonna do about it"

Caption: [A stitch with user @/sapphicyuji. The text on screen reads, " "you can't misgender cis people!", you have never had your gender questioned outside of your transness and it shows. sincerely, a trans poc".

I'm actually super glad we're having a conversation about this. The masculinization of black and brown women, because for years I felt like I endured this unique form of trauma until I realized other people went through the same thing too. And if there's one thing that I'd like to add to the conversation, there seems to be this misconception that this is something that starts at puberty. Like boys tell you you look like a man to hurt your feeling when that's so far from the case.

The first time I was purposefully misgendered was in kindergarten. I was constantly referred to by the masculine variant of my name, I was chased out of the women's restroom, and I had grown adults questioning what my biological sex was before I even knew what the difference was. And those behaviors persisted into adulthood because now if I present as anything less than 100% feminine, people will either compare me to men or animals.

And for myself and for many other brown and black women this is a life long act deliberately intended to humiliate, shame, and other us for the features we were naturally born with and I'm glad we're having a discussion on how harmful it actually is.]

Ok yes "more male characters with big naturals" but are you normal about trans men/transmasc folks who have tits? Are you normal about them not binding? About them not wanting top surgery or not wanting to bind?

Are you normal about cis men with gynecomastia? Are you normal about gynecomastic men not binding, or not wanting top surgery?

ARE YOU NORMAL ABOUT REAL LIFE MEN WITH BIG NATURALS?

With so many elections coming up worldwide it’s probably a good time to remind everyone that tumblr once got infested with agents trying to convince everyone not to vote, or not to vote left because the candidates weren’t morally pure enough.

Also a reminder that they were better at tumblr than most of us, comrade interloper was great at memeing. Like, the talent!

Anyway don’t fall for it. There is no morally pure option.

Vote for whoever can move you one inch closer to your goals. This is a long game. If there’s a candidate who wants to move you a mile closer to your goals but they do not stand a chance in the general election, you vote for whoever can move you one inch closer to your goals. The time to vote for the “one mile” candidate in the primaries. Once you get to the general, you vote for the one who has a chance in hell of winning, or you’re actively working against progress. 100% of the time, voting in a general for a “can’t win” candidate because their beliefs align more with your beliefs is actively working for the opposition. There is no situation in which this is not true.

One side is addressing climate change and raising the minimum wage and forgiving student debt. The other side are GODDAMN TRAITORS AND INSURRECTIONISTS and are openly removing women’s rights, LGBTQ people’s rights and VOTING access. But DO tell me again that Both Sides Are Just As Bad As Each Other.

Vote. Every time you don’t vote moves you closer to the day when you’ll never be allowed to vote again.
