this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
you can set your likes and follows to private
checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
DON’T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won’t be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won’t get in trouble!!
tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
be nice to the reddit refugees, they’re our friends <3
Seasonal foods are regional, too. Hit up your local farmers markets and just buy what you see that looks great. I can’t speak for them all, but my local farmers markets take EBT. But also, I understand that’s not an option everywhere—just offering it as an idea.
Small Town Grocery Store Stories: LGBTQ+ friendly edition
Me: minding my own damn business in the grocery store
One of my students and a few of his teammates enter the dairy aisle.
My student is holding hands with one of his teammates.
My student: Oh hey, Professor X!
Me, who has both my student and his girlfriend in my class: …Hello
My student, looking at his hand-holding partner: Oh! Don’t worry. My girlfriend knows. Not that I’m cheating! I’m not cheating. I’m not gay.
Hand Holding boy: Not that being gay is a bad thing! It’s a good thing!
My student: Right! But no, listen. We aren’t together, we just hold hands in public sometimes.
Hand Holding Boy: Especially on Friday nights. And weekends. And at away games.
My student: Because sometimes people will say shit and then we can punch them! And if the fight started because someone was being homophobic, coach won’t get mad at us.
Hand Holding Boy: Always nice to punch a homophobe.And [gesturing to another boy in the group] maybe they’ll think twice about saying something to [other boy’s name] if he ever gets a boyfriend and wants to hold his hand for real.
The Gay One, resigned but smiling: I’ve decided it’s sweet and not really fucking weird.
(ID: a comic on a white background. first panel is a rectangle with a gray-ish blue background, with two phones on each side. on the left, a profile that has a rainbow as a profile picture, and the time above it reads “11:59”. on the other phone, the profile picture is black and the time is “12:00”. in between the phones, reads: “Brands turn back into pumpkins,”
next panel is a rectangle, showing an online store. visible, but cut off, is a large, light blue “sale” sign on the top of the page. below it, two white squares, one with a rainbow flag and the other with white socks with rainbow stripes on top. a white square next to the rainbow flag reads: “colors go on clearance,”
next, 4 vertical rectangles panels with people in them, each with a word above it. the first has two elderly people, both with brown skin. the one on the left has dark brown, curly hair and has their lips ready for a kiss. the one on the right, who has long, straight, gray hair, smiles. there are laundry products on shelves in the background.
second has three people with a birthday cake in front of them. one is white and has a bracelet with the trans colors- blue, pink and white. they laugh as the person behind them pushes their gray beanie down. said person is white, with spiky, short, black hair, and wears a black ring. they smile, wink, and wave. the third person has dark skin, dark brown, curly hair, a thin beard, and wears a white shirt with a stripe with the bi flag colors: pink, purple and blue. they smile.
next is two people snuggling in bed, a laptop in front of them and the trans flag behind them, which is blue, pink, white, pink and blue. one is a black person with short, curly, black hair with shaved sides, and the other is a fat person with white skin and short, straight, black hair with some accessories. both smile.
final panel, two people hug each other in a kitchen. both have short, straight hair. one is pale and has light brown hair, the other is tanned and has dark brown hair with gray streaks. the latter looks tired.
from left to right, reads: but you’re still here.
on the white space left, below that, reads: “I’m glad you’re still here”. End ID)
