On the subject of “female-presenting nipples”, here’s a news story about my friend who is an amazing performance artist, filmmaker, and poet who is challenging my city’s (cis)sexism!
that’s my roommate!!
She eloquently challenges the legal definition of sex/gender and shows just how arbitrarily these distinctions are litigated. Let’s hope this outdated city ban is overturned!
okay im going through the rules and stuff on matsodon rn and
sexworkers are good here as long as what they post is tagged. the gore thing is :// but like the person said sexworkers are supported here.
all of this. all of this is hot as hell.
they actually have specific rules disallowing pedophiles and nazis+the terfs from the last screenshot.
dogpiling and harrassment and stalking is listed as a no go thank fucking god??
there is not one specific staff account as each member of staff has their own thing so it’d be most likely easier to get in touch with them
and the best part
a peek at the list of blocked domains?
ive legit been on this site for ten minutes and i feel safer on this site than ive ever been on tumblr. again im not like, leaving tumblr but this place is nice as hell.

we really need to organize like a leftist movement to correct Wikipedia, because right now every single page re: anything related to India is “lowkey” (by which I mean explicit but uncritically accepted) Hindutva.

As a brown person I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that yes, people do get darker when they tan, that’s a legitimate thing that happens, especially when you move from a place with less sunlight to a place with more
(Also that race is a social construct, Southern Italy, Northern Africa, and the rest of the Mediterranean have always been closely connected economically and culturally, and the only reason we see Italians as white in the US is because of how the history of European colonialism and US assimilation played out.)
Real talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about “horny on main” and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn’t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs.
The problem with “family friendly” social media is that more often than not, the ones hit the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as “adult” content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons.
The ultimate problem isn’t even that banning of NSFW content, it’s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW.
They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don’t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious “CEO” plans to keep this sinking ship alive.
something that is pleasant and has warmed my heart is the australian show ‘Please like me’ created and starring josh thomas. the theme song that plays with him cooking a new meal each ep is my fave thing to watch ever. also his family and friends may be fucked up yet there is such a real connecion b/w josh and his mom and his friend tom. also stars hannah gadsby, which is always good. i love this show so much i never want it to end.
This is not a tumblr.
