A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

astronautalis:
a few months ago, the fine folks at Paste Magazine asked me and the boys to stop by in the morning to play a concert for them and the sleepy eyed staff. We might have been a tad hung over and road weary, but that is no reason no to yell and sweat at 11am…then we went and ate waffle house next door. a perfect morning in Atlanta. Check out the video and reblog this like mad!...

Adventures in mood swings
Disclaimer: This post is mostly metaphorical. Just in case you had any doubt.
There’s a person I am whom I call the shark — a man who’d die before he stopped moving. He writes the papers, pays the bills, gets me to the gym, and sends me running across the globe in search of thrills. But he also can’t feel self-satisfied without a few sedatives or a tall glass of bourbon,...

Getting tired of Sherlock fans covering my campus with annoying, inscrutable-to-non-fans chalkings. I really hope the “SH+JW” graffiti on the campus center is just some moony couple with coincidental initials.

Yeah, this is a huuuuuuge reason why I avoid Sherlock fandom.
We should make our own little Sherlock fandom of cool people and we can all get together to watch Sherlock and freak out and rant together about how abusive Sherlock is.
so down for this.
my favorite part about Sherlock BBC series is hating Sherlock TBH.
I feel we need a word for our...

One of my fave bands is coming to town and I’m stressed about it. Shit, what if the lead singer sees me and notices I’m fat?!?
Goddamnit Jay, you’re here to see a show, not be eye candy for some hipster with a mic. Your life would be a lot happier if you stopped comparing your body fat levels to drug addicts’.

Basically, I’m recovering from codependency.
It feels really good that I haven’t been involved with any dangerous people lately, but on the other hand, I still haven’t been able to find anything that compares to the spark I got from horribly unhealthy relationships.
Here’s hoping that I can learn to take pleasure in relationships that aren’t destined to implode...

This picture is by a woman called Hannah. She was just disowned by her family for coming out as trans and is currently living with a friend, Alex. Here’s her explaining her situation:
Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a 20 year-old transwoman in the baby stages of transition. I’ve recently been kicked out of my home, leaving my school and my old job behind - technically making me a drop-out, unemployed and...

I hate academia for redefining ”queer” to mean anything vaguely fresh ‘n’ sexy and redefining ”cyborg” to mean something other than roboticized superhuman.

"Is asexuality queer?" is on my dash again.
Why such a fight over this word? “GSM” (gender & sexuality minority) is a group that fits aces perfectly, doesn’t have the additional gender connotations of queer, and isn’t a reclaimed slur. It’s not like it’s be-queer-or-be-lost.
But nope, everybody is fighting for the word “queer.” Why do aces want this fight? To access GLBT resources that...

velocidarling:
I think it’s a different conversation when I’m talking to a queer person as opposed to someone on the ace spectrum who has decided they are queer BECAUSE right now we’re discussing things in-community.
I think queer is complicated even strictly within the queer community. Who has had queer thrown at them? Not every queer person. Many queers, due to age or...

Tonight’s goal: wrangle some people into going to a hardcore show with me ‘cause I’ve never been to a punk house before and I want to pop that cherry.
I’m gonna get sent flying and bleed all over the pit again, won’t I? Hope the people moshing are skinny.

Today is pretty okay, but, you know, could be better.
Could be having a rad pool party right now with like a hundred people and an open bar and topless women and Johnny Marr being there and being all like “hey your party is rad.”
Could be at some mad orgy in a Manhattan penthouse drinking champagne off a porn star’s waxed navel while a string quartet plays something languid and...

I think it’s highly plausible [Blixa Bargeld and Wolfgang Müller] had a relationship. Those particular photos are incredibly intimate looking - x-rated compared to the chaste kisses he and Nick gave each other onstage. There’s that lovely quote from Bettina Köster when she was asked whether Malaria! were some kind of lesbian-agenda group - she’s just like ‘Back then...

You don't have a duty to forgive anybody
because they are/were mentally ill
because they say they’ve changed
because they’ve apologized publicly
because they call themself a feminist

A lot of them seem to come off as “Hey, do your duty and go out and make a suicidal person not kill themselves!” But sometimes you can’t help somebody with the issues that are making them suicidal (like physical/mental illness), especially if you’re some random tumblr follower.
