I hate that planned obsolescence is starting to reach fandoms. I hate that fandoms are starting to die after two, three years, I hate that whenever you stop getting content that means the fandom will die and be gone.
I need people to stop trying to brush off old interests as being ‘cringe’ as soon as you lose interest, or worse: make it seem like it’s imoral to like something that they themselves held so dear before.
Fandoms are meant to last for years and years, the moment content stops being created is the moment we truly thrive because we keep creating the content ourselves the way we love it and expand on the things that are already there for us.
I don’t care if you lost interest on something, it’s fine and normal even, but stop trying to blame and make fun of people who still do love the fandom and the content and the things we can create.
I just had a discussion with my friend about fanfiction and how we tend to assume that women are the writers without any actual proof. Then I said, hey, I know fanfiction written by gay and trans dudes. But then I remembered, wait, I think I know one writer who just must be cis het based on his work. Anyway, all writers, be honest, who are you?
Please reblog if you’re interested in the results.
If you have ever written any fanfiction, tell me your identity, pls
having cash is like having secret money. like whos gonna find out i’m buying tacos with this crisp $20 bill??? not my bank account, that’s for sure
That’s literally why the government wants to stop it
Defend cash. The existence of a cash economy is so so necessary for the survival of every population that the government wants to kill. Homeless people, sex workers, undocumented people, addicts. They all need cash to survive.
#i genuinely can’t remember the last time i used cash but i’m firmly against a cashless society
Not gonna call out anyone by name (and don’t go into the notes bothering this person either) but like: this is not how that works. If you’re firmly against a cashless society: USE CASH.
Shops and services will not continue to keep cash around for the 1% of people whose survival depend on it. They will keep cash around if their system shows that a lot of customers pay in cash.
If you want to keep cash around, literally the best thing you can do is use cash.
you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here’s how!
click this link and go to the support page, then click “contact support”
click on the category list and click on feedback
now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes
i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea
by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel
oh gods, it’s been ages since i’ve posted anything of my own on this account. but uh, oof, here’s some art i drew today.
my hunter from bloodborne, billy thorne, the closest to an american that game’s got. she’s a menace to society, a pain the ass, a horrible flirt, and one of the fastest fucking people you have ever fought in your life. (her dex is like 90 and she wields the blade of mercy or simon’s bowblade; there is no in-between)
with twitter’s situation being what it is I’m a bit uncertain about what the future holds for my account there (which had about 28k followers that I painstakingly gathered over the course of many many years. that’s a lot of audience to potentially lose for someone who relies entirely on their socials for their job).
so here’s a bit of self promo 😭 I’m Marty, an italian lesbian living in the UK. You might’ve seen some of my stuff around. I make gay comics, TTRPG illos, and more often than not I’m available for commissions (not now but soon enough I’ll have to reopen again 💝)

aaa thank you to everyone who boosted this I really wasn’t expecting this many people to care!! <3
hey writers if you want to make a metaphor for racism, please maybe remember that racism is literally based on nothing. Africans weren’t enslaved en masse because the Robo-Musa threatened to destroy the world, they were enslaved because it was economically rewarding and politically convenient. If at any point your allegory for racism includes “so <oppressed group> did this major catastrophe and” then you have not only missed the point but you are literally reinforcing the ideas that racism have let racism self-perpetuate (that e.g. black people are naturally dangerous and violent and must be contained or begrudgingly accepted by the Nice White People)
I think so much about the food people ate pre-Columbian exchange. Huge parts of cuisine extremely important on both sides of the pond just didn’t exist.
You’ve probably heard a little about what was brought over from the New World, corn, potatoes, cocoa, cassava, peanuts, chili peppers, avocadoes, cranberries, pumpkins, and the like. Imagine cooking without chili! Without potatoes! Modern Indian cuisine contains enormous amounts of potatoes and we just didn’t have those for the vast majority of history. The best of the nightshades all on one contiguous hunk of land. Hell, tomatoes! Almost forgot about those.
But we don’t often look at what the Old World had. Wheat! Barley! Rice! A profusion of incredible grains, really, the finest poaceae has to offer. Carrots! Tons of rosaceous plants like apples and cherries and pears and peaches and apricots! Grapes! Soy and Bamboo! Okra and watermelon! All these things were simply never found in the Americas. The grains one is the wildest for me, the variety of grains available across Eurasia and Africa was truly astounding.
You know what binds together the food of all cultures across the world? Onions. Onions are fucking everywhere. There’s probably onions growing near you right now. Allium Gang Unite.
The Americas very much do have native bamboo, grapes, cherries (though the cherries are different), and plums!
The bamboo is genus Arundinaria, hardly anyone knows it exists, it’s rare now, in the south it’s mostly called “cane,” but its what you make a cane pole out of, and it basically used to form a whole biome called canebrake.
The Americas have several grapevine species, they’re called “scuppernongs” sometimes and mentioned in To Kill a Mockingbird.
American plums are a thing, American cherries are also a thing
Amaranth is not technically a grain, but it was used much the same. The Americas also have “wild rice” used and eaten the same way as rice.
Peaches, Apples and Watermelon were not found in the Americas, and they were adopted and cultivated so quickly by the Cherokee that many people erroneously believed they were native. This is the way peaches came to be so closely associated with Georgia.
I believe Okra was brought over by enslaved people from Africa but don’t quote me on it.
In case anyone actually cares about this issue, some good news: 227 migrants were rescued off the Canary Islands and 294 migrants were rescued off the coast of Italy yesterday/today.
