I’m out. I introduce myself to people with my name and pronouns.
In my email signature, my pronouns are directly underneath my name in an only slightly smaller font.
It’s February, and I already have secured a summer internship.
I’m in the top 25% of my class.
You can be nonbinary, and you can be out, and you can still succeed. You don’t have to compromise. There’s going to be transphobic people, there always will, but being out does not mean you can’t pursue the career you want.
The most important thing, the most necessary thing, is to find support from other trans people and from allies who use your pronouns publicly and without shame.
………….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).
“you have to pay us more now because we burnt your fucking house down”
step 1: adopt negligent and unsafe business practices step 2: burn down california step 3: get sued by customers for burning down california step 4: make the customers cover the costs of your lawsuits???????
step 5: go into the customers’ own homes and personally fuck their wives

If the company would face financial ruin then the government should seize their assets and fire everyone in upper management and then set it up as a publicly owned utility (: (like, preferably with a board of directors elected by the customers, but whatever.)
if a company is getting sued into oblivion because their negligence caused people to die, the government should be arresting the management, not passing laws to bail them out!!!
Full offense but y’all need to stop fetishizing lgbt ppl. Lesbians arent straight men’s entertainment and sexual fantasies. Gay men aren’t your “YAOI GAYBIES xD” and you aren’t “SINNING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW” Bi people aren’t here so you can have a threesome. Trans men aren’t “uwu soft boys so pure” and trans women aren’t “big muscle wife could kill me”.
You aren’t less homophobic for fetishizing gay ships. You aren’t less transphobic for fetishizing trans people.
Stop.
Ok but yaoi was a big thing before lgbt people started coming into the spotlight. (I’m just trying to defend yaoi. Don’t mind me)
…. did you just say that “yaoi” has been around longer than gay people
I think this is new, but apparently twitter assigns you a gender now if you don’t pick one.
EWW WHAT THE FUCK
Assigned Male At Twitter
anyways this is a reminder to go to your twitter settings, go to “your twitter data” and delete everything they have collected about you, and then go to https://twitter.com/personalization and disable all of the boxes.
Okay, thanks for the information, the version of this post which I previously reblogged didn’t have it.
Some guy today mentioned he was in a band to me and I watched him get visibly uncomfortable when I didn’t ask him anything about it. He kept trying to bring the conversation around to his band and I wasn’t budging.

Women: wow that’s funny I should try that when a man won’t stop talking about himself!
Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire
Reblog to actually save a life
To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it
as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion
Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER!
I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.
