Lavender-Labia: Transethnic FTW →
brandx:
Oh, for fuck’s sake.
Apparently a clutch of privileged, delusional bigots have hijacked the term “transethnic,” ensuring that us Class Bastard adoptees and foster kids encounter even MORE dismissal and confusion in public discourse.
“Transethnic,” for those who don’t know, occurs…

How do you not do basic research into the bloggers you hire, Jill? I don’t buy it.
i like how they didn’t remove the content or even the links to her site, they just added a cute disclaimer like that makes it okay.

One of many reasons I love Silent Hill. Especially the older games… 2 and 3 especially. I love horror, but I love horror that has some kind of beauty and commentary to it the most.

A Terrible, Towering Strength →
Here is my manuscript for this contest. There is nothing in the rules that says it cannot be shared, only that you can’t enter the same works in other school-sponsored contests. It’s stuff that I’ve posted before on here but some people may not have read it. It’s also been slightly edited, and I think the pieces work really well together in a triplet.

singingitfortumblr asked: (TW: EDs) As someone who was heavily involved in tumblr's pro-Ana community, I approve of the van, to be honest. The community was one I stumbled upon and it helped me to drive my calorie intake from 500 calories, to 200, to 100. My purging from every few times I binged to every time. My exercising from occasional to obsessive. It's dangerous, because even the most supportive posts read...

raspberrythighs asked: if that is the case, can't people use different language? pro ana literally means in favour of anorexia, whether it has evolved to mean something else (which i personally am doubtful having browsed many pro ana sites with disclaimers such as 'we do not promote anorexia!' followed by pages full of starvation tips, 'motivational' quotes and thinspo) or not. so surely it...

raspberrythighs asked: tumblr proposed the removal of sites that actively encourage self destructive behaviours, which sounds like the opposite of a community where people with eating disorders encourage each other to eat. it gets very confusing because there is a community on livejournal called 'pro ana' which used to be pro ana, but then they didnt purchase a rename token but turned into a recovery focused...

Followers and friends,
If any of you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to hear about your experience sharing that you are a rape survivor with your family. I’ve been struggling with this a lot recently, and I feel that reading others’ stories would help me to feel less isolated in my experience. This was inspired by an ask I got just earlier today.

The only people I’ve seen do that backwards thing are white asian studies majors that think your entire name is chungyen. so they want to do the ‘respectful’ thing and put what they think your last name is first. i’m always like “yeeah he’ll hit you”

Talk of genitalia can be triggering to some people? At least for me. I really like what you’re saying about it and the fair way you are talking about this, but perhaps some people don’t want it on their own blogs at this moment.
that’s a good point, i hadn’t really considered that.
