PSA! If you blacklist common terf tags, the filter will catch their feminist posts that break containment and seem innocuous/good to the normal feminist. This is because the tumblr filter scans the OP tags as well as the reblog tags! Easy fix to make sure you’re not reblogging dogwhistles 🥰 keep your feminist posting terf-free, everyone!
(Feel free to shoot me an ask and I’ll share what i blacklist that seems to work!)

Dogwhistles:
male socialization
tra = “trans rights activist”
tim = “trans identified male”
some terfs call themselves tme, but sarcastically to mean “transmisogyny enthusiast,” instead of “transmisogyny exempt”
identifying as “hygienic”
womyn (or wombyn) = originated from “womyn-born-womyn,” first used to exclude trans women from women’s spaces.
The symptoms to look out for are fever, rash, headache, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, general GI symptoms and a crusty nasty looking area around the bite. Not all of these symptoms may be present but if you were bitten by a chigger in North Carolina and you don’t feel well, go to the doctor. Antibiotics can clear it right up but if left untreated, the fatality rate can be 40% for some strains.
Here’s a map of the places tested and the places where chiggers were found to be infected:
(Also, because I saw this in the notes, typhoid and typhus are radically different diseases. Typhoid is caused by salmonella and usually transferred through contaminated food and water while typhus is caused by several different bacteria and typically transferred by insect bite.)
I don’t get it, man. why. why do we have to homogenize everything. why does every product have to look and behave and feel the exact same way. why can’t tumblr maintain its individuality? why can’t it lean into the things that make it a unique and refreshing offering instead of scrambling to make it a carbon copy of twitter? sucks, man. sucks.
it’s just like. this broadcasts loud and clear that the people behind the curtain have no pride or faith in this site at all. that tumblr, as a whole, has no worth or merit unless it’s somehow tricking the larger internet community into thinking it’s actually another site. and the users are supposed to celebrate this? where’s the dignity? where’s the self-respect? where’s the joy? it’s disheartening and embarrassing to be forced to conform. smh.
the impulse to hide what I’m doing at my computer still sits so deep even tho I’m literally never looking at anything objectionable , the door will open and I’ll hurry to close the page like oh fuck no one can know I’m looking at the Wikipedia page for the Balkans
I’d use a tumblr badge if they gave me one that was evil bleeding skull flaming skull dark blood skull vampire demon wings horned skull oozing fangs sinister skull. For free
i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.
I love “i would kill for you” ship dynamics but what about “i would stop killing” ship dynamic??
I would lay down my sword for you. I would change my nature and go against everything i’ve known. I would resist the easy way out of solving my problems. I would give up the adrenaline of battle to stay by your side and make tea instead. I’m not sure I know who I am without a weapon in my hand because I’ve had to fight for so long but for you I’m willing to try and figure this out.
It must be hard. To put down your weapon that’s protected you for so long. It’s allowed you to stay alive it’s kept you from getting hurt–physically and mentally. Because you’ve never had to worry about a real relationship if you think you’ll be dead at the next battle. And you feel naked without it and it feels like you’re ripping off an extension of yourself. Are you even whole without it? Are you worthy of being loved if you can’t prove it by risking your life? And yet they’ve found someone who’s asking them for something much harder than dying in battle on their behalf. They’ve found someone who wants them to live. And that’s much more terrifying.
