I C A N N O T breathe
THAT LAST LIKE .01 SECOND
OH MY G OD
i don’t think people understand that people can ‘love’ you and not actually love you
like my grandmother ‘loved’ me, but she also was always trying to change me. she tried to take me away from my (catholic bisexual) mother. she made me wear dresses when i was there. she always tried to get me to go to church and was always asking me if i was dating a boy yet
i spent years feeling guilty that i wasn’t what she wanted me to be until my mom told me one day “she never bothered to know the real you”
and it’s true. any time i tried to show her something about myself, even cook for her, it would be dismissed, and a replacement would be offered. even northern food was somehow a sin.
she loved me what she thought i should be, she never loved me.
bc people who love you, they love you for all the stuff that makes you you. they never consider that it makes you inconvenient.
“It was true: the other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold.“
Loving someone like a prized possession is a very different thing from loving someone like a person you care about.
Thank you, next.
*talks* *immediately regrets it*
I made this and showed it to a friend. She said I should post it, so here we are.
PSA: the tumblr adult content purge probably affects your posts even if you’ve never posted anything remotely nsfw. Check your posts because lots of safe content has been flagged and they don’t notify you about it.
The tumblr support page linked in today’s announcement says that they always notify you if your content has been flagged, which I’ll call “misleading language” at my most generous:
As far as I see, that “notification” consists of you manually scrolling through your own post history and noticing the red stripe they’ve put on the individual posts which their algorithms deemed problematic. I received zero emails, chats, real time notifications, carrier pigeons, or anything in regards to the dozens of posts I just found erroneously flagged on my blog.
It also implies there’s some way to review all of your flagged posts at once, but I see no such option on my blog:
(”Dismiss” is not one of the options I’m given and clicking “okay” doesn’t result in a list of flagged content)
Final note, I notice that photosets and especially gifsets seem particularly prone to getting flagged, so if you’ve posted a lot of tv/movie gifsets and stuff like that, take a look.
So anyway, everybody should check their wholesome, wholesome post history to catch tumblr’s mistakes. And if anybody sees some option I missed about a list of flagged content please share!
This reblog is post #26,910 on my blog, which I’ve had for five years. It’s not practical for me to scroll through the entire freaking thing to see what Tumblr’s AI thinks is inappropriate. /cry
I don’t even get a request review option??? What the fuck?
Everyone: “Here’s my handles on like five different sites in case Tumblr goes down”
Me, refusing to make an account anywhere else:
Leelah Alcorn’s blog was deleted and posts about her are being removed. Don’t stop spreading this. Reblog everything you can, post everything you can.
These are her pictures
here are some of her drawings
this is her note
Don’t let this die.
Not this.
I don’t give a flying fart what type of blog you have, this is relevant for everyone.
This is absolutely something everyone needs to read
REBLOGGING.
I never knew about this…..
Please reblog this, don’t let it die, please
I’m reblogging this because it’s important and people need to see this.
Please don’t let this get lost in the ocean of bullshit that is tumblr. Leelah deserved better.
This needs to be shared. Parents, you may not agree with some of your kid’s choices but don’t keep them from making them if it isn’t hurting them.
This needs to get more notes. She deserves more recognition
Her parents killed her…
have a link in case you have trouble reading the text from the jpgs (like i did)
Results so far
ok so our titty choices are now: cubism, jpeg, manga, and Picasso’s Blue Period
Tiefling nudes are going to outlast everything else
u can tell who the ancients of tumblr are bc they’re the ones not posting anything abt where to find them if this site collapses…we know this site isnt going anywhere….the apocalypse couldnt stop this garbage…..it has the cybernetic code of a cockroach
those of us who’ve been on tumblr 5+ years:
Before tumblr dies… anyone wanna admit they have a crush on me
Having a “crush” is a level 3 horny offence and against Tumblr ToS, delete your fucking blog
Live horny die horny motherfuckers
burger king is offering a 1 cent whopper through their mobile app if you unlock the coupon while at a mcdonald’s
why does the burger king app have quests
staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.
