There’s a lot of Scooby Doo stuff on Netflix
A follow up in my sketchbook
This is unironically one of the better written, in-character, funny pieces of Scooby-Doo media in the past decade
can u see me? just checking,,
wow, for some reason, less than 4 months after she made her account, my girlfriend got silently banned off Tumblr! thats crazy!
i wonder what my black trans girlfriend did to get herself banned! oh well im sure there was a really good reason for it
this website is a fucking joke.
if you arent furious over this in light of the recent downsizing of tumblr's staff to about 25, then you havent thought yet about how purposeful you have to be to single out a single black trans person for being black and trans out of a userbase accounting for 300 million daily logins.
because of something existential that they dont like about her.
no email or anything by the way. no notice of deletion, she just attempted logging in and couldnt. there is no consistent terms of service to account for this, it is very blatant transmisogynoir for this to have come to pass.
im sure they could come up with some legal bullshit reason to cover themselves, but think about it. 25 staff. thats fewer people than a highschool classroom, as my other partner put it so well, and they still decided hers was the most dangerous blog on tumblr. alright man.
my gorgeous gorgeous girlfriend appreciates all the kind words, and wanted me to let you all know that she's doing okay! she's taking it with stride, and has still got jokes about it despite how shitty it is. she'll probably post something about it sometime soon, but for now don't fret too much about her mentals!
maintain the angry energy towards staff and the shameless bigotry that permeates their moderation, by all means, but don't worry yourself over my girl. she's very strong.
art idea i've had since last night
My favourite harmless prank I've heard of was done by this girl whose dad was a geologist, and they'd go on day hikes with his geologist friends/co-workers and when she got bored on them she'd habitually pick up a random rock and go ask him what it is, and one of them would explain what kind of a rock that is, how it probably got here, and usually some notions of the more unusual features the rock had, if any.
And she had a friend who had once gone on a tourist trip to Iceland and brought back a volcanic rock. So she borrowed the rock and took it with her on the hike, and after two randomly picked up "hey dad what rock is this", she presented the volcanic rock, in the same fashion as all the others.
3 minutes later there are five middle-aged and older men circled around this mysterious rock, all agreeing on what it is, but not why it is. They keep asking her questions, where did she find it? Were there any other rocks around there that looked like it? Was it like this on the ground? People walking past the group try to stretch their necks to see over the geologists' shoulders to see what's the source of such amazement.
And in the end she couldn't take it anymore, burst into laughter and confessed. The geologists agree that it was pretty clever.
Geologist enrichment
I’m a gay trans man (relevant I promise) and I’m interested in casual dating/hookups/cruising, but I was socialized as a girl and therefore had all the typical “don’t go home with strangers or you’ll get raped” talks growing up. How do I get over that fear? Is it better to just not have sex with people I don’t really know? The last time I had a grindr hookup he did stuff I didn’t consent to, and it was pretty traumatizing. I don’t want to let one bad experience keep me from engaging with other gay men, but I also want to keep myself safe.
hi anon,
I think you might find a lot of value in checking out some of the writing that Dr. Devon Price (drdemonprince here on tumblr) has done about cruising and the hookup scene as a gay trans man. his blog is full of interesting pieces and good advice, and he regularly fields sex-related asks with insight and aplomb.
when i go in a room and forget what i needed i become a point and click protagonist. [water bottle?] that’s not helpful right now. [socks?] i don’t know what to do with that. [charger?] that’s not helpful right now. [scissors?] i can’t do anything with that. [water bottle?] that’s not helpful right now. [lone paperclip?] that’s not helpful right now. [water bottle?]
My interest is piqued, please explain this domino effect
henry viii breaks with rome -> england spends a solid century in various states of religious turmoil -> anglicanism is eventually established as the national religion -> catholics, including guy fawkes, grow frustrated with james i's protestantisn and try to overthrow him -> guy fawkes night becomes a national holiday in which effigies of fawkes are burnt -> the effigies become known as "guys" after him -> the word "guy" goes from meaning "effigy of guy fawkes" to "poorly dressed man" to "a generic, unspecified man" -> the word "guys" goes from meaning "a group of men" to both "a group of men" and "a group of people, of mixed or indeterminate genders" -> some people remain uncomfortable with the second meaning of "guy"/"guys" because they still associate it more closely with the first -> et voilà
I love that she still has a little cowlicked crest. It's probably not a good thing, in terms of conformation, but it's cute as hell.
