i am out here blocking and reporting porn spam bots literally SECONDS after they interact with any of my posts but somehow tumblr can’t get rid of them. ok

no matter what you are doing to occupy yourself while you’re there, being in a hospital waiting room applies a +5 buff to Boredom and a +3 buff to Advanced Boredom

i am currently looking for recommendations for compression socks from people who are AUTISTIC and have H-EDS or HYPERMOBILITY IN GENERAL with CIRCULATION ISSUES

(please only reply and/or reblog with suggestions and/or recommendations. DO NOT just signal boost without offering any info. thank you!)

here are some potentially relevant factors that my influence your suggestions, under the cut so i can freely edit the list if need be:

i need multiple options for different temperatures because my temperature regulation is extremely bad, which contributes to the circulation problems i experience.

i live in canada (this makes warm options especially important).

for autism reasons, i need to limit pilling as much as possible, avoid even slightly itchy textures, and minimize the dreaded red-indents problem.

i wear size 36-37ish (european) shoes and i am thin and bony (my bones are also thin).

i do not sweat much at all, but i do live in an area where it gets very humid in the summer.

i do not have the “extra stretchy skin” symptom, but my skin is fragile and very sensitive to things like chemicals and the aforementioned itchy textures.

i am okay with any length of sock if it works, but my preferredlengths are full tights, knee-high, and ankle socks.

i have no idea what level of compression will be most helpful and do not know how to test that, but i generally prefer to wear fairly snug clothing.

and most importantly (/hj) they need to come in plain solid black, because i simply cannot tolerate anything else. thank you for your understanding on this critically important requirement

do not assign morality to things that not everyone is able to do.

do not assign personality to things that not everyone is able to do.

do not assign any undue meaning to things that not everyone is able to do.

disabled people are not immoral, uncaring, or otherwise “bad” for being unable to do things.

if it ever seems like i’m a huge asshole about accessibility, that’s because i’m disabled and angry (no correlation). hope that helps!

okay but seriously why are the formatting buttons in the new post modal still obnoxiously vivid when i SPECIFICALLY changed all the tumblr color styles using stylus to make them less saturated and stop them from giving me a fucking migraine. they are fucking painful. people using the LOW CONTRAST theme probably don’t want to see BRIGHT VIVID NEON COLORS anywhere on our dashboards, TUMBLR

MOTHERFUCKER

THEY HARD-CODED THE FUCKING SVG COLOR HEX CODES DESPITE ALREADY SETTING THEM TO USE A MODIFIABLE COLOR VARIABLE.

in case y'all wanted to see the colors i want to be seeing vs the ones i amseeing…

bad, migraine fodder:

good, i can look at these (these are the colors i set using stylus and they use the same variables so they shouldbe the same):

@wiphi!don’t hard-code hex value colors. leave them variable. not only is it then easier for y'all to push changes if you ever need to, but it allows people who need additional accessibility tweaks to use stylus and other custom css addons in order to, y'know, NOT BE MADE COMPLETELY MISERABLE BY YOUR PAINFUL COLOR CHOICES.

once again: i use the LOW CONTRAST theme. this is because i need tumblr to be LOW CONTRAST. that includes ALL OF THE FUCKING BUTTONS

anyway casual reminder that i don’t use the tumblr app (because fuck website apps in general lmao) so currently BOTH desktop and mobile, for me, have this profoundly fucked up post editor going on where nothing fucking works properly and i can’t even select a chunk of text to backspace it within the SAME PARAGRAPH let alone multiple paragraphs. sometimes on mobile it spontaneously deletes entire paragraphs or even the whole post FOR me. and there is no undo button on mobile firefox mind you!!

i would not even be using the new post editor, except that the old one no longer remembers the tags i have previously used. at all. which is even WORSE for me given my memory issues and (yes i know you can’t see this right now) the number of fucking typos i make all the time. i’m always super careful to proofread and correct errors as best i can, but fixing my mistakes in the tags is SUCH a pain.

[ID: the new tumblr post creation modal, using the low-contrast theme. there are 12 separate copies of the “Go ahead, put anything” text that appears when a user clicks to create a new paragraph, the last of which has the user cursor on it and neon-bright, rainbow-colored formatting buttons off to the right side. there are no tags, no title, and no actual post content displayed. end ID]

so like. are there any exercise apps that just help you track your physical activity. and don’t do ANYTHING, and i mean anything, about food? except maybehave cute reminders to eat something and have a drink if you’ve just input a bunch of activity that you did?

like, i mean it. zero “burning fat” diet culture bullshit. zero “you must limit intake of this food for effective workouts”. zero “eat this much food to fuel your workout”. ZERO. NONE.

does such an app actually exist at all. and if it does, is it disability friendly.

(note: when i say “app” here i mean to be inclusive of mobile apps as well as any other variety of application, whether it comes with its own hardware or is on desktop or whatever else, idk.)

it is so hard not to use the word “greenery” for the plants in glacial thaw you don’t understand the plants are all orange

i completely DO NOT understand why or how people can get addicted to gambling. like on an external “this is the reason” level i do, i know it has to do with some risk/reward shit in your brain, but on a personal level?? no, i don’t get it. i will never comprehend that experience the way someone who can actually enjoy gambling will comprehend.

gambling minigames are even worse than fishing minigames, imo (and i fucking hate fishing minigames). they are a complete and utter waste of time. even when i’m on a ~winning streak~ every time i have to spin the wheel or pull the lever or Whatever makes me more and more pissed off. i HATE chance-based shit, especially weighted chance-based shit. even in games that are literally biased in favor of the player and simulating real gambling badly on purpose, it’s infuriating. it’s the fucking worst.

and like the worst fucking part is that in games like pokémon or stardew valley that lock some item that you need for 100% completion behind a gambling minigame, i wind up playing the stupid minigame anyway because it’s the most cost-effective method to get what i need by a factor of ten- or twenty-fold if not more, and i’m a stingy motherfucker who wants to spend as little money as possible when i have it because i grew up fucking poor lmao. so it just feels like i’m getting railroaded into wasting either money or time. there’s no winning. it’s horrible and i despise it.

i would ratherfucking grind to earn prize tokens. give me an efficient way to grind. don’t make gambling the by-far-most-efficient way to earn fucking prize tokens for unique items, game devs. fuck’s sakes.

“the eridanus constellation is three billion lightyears away”

that’s not how constellations work that’s not how constellations work not all stars in a constallation are equidistant from earth you haveto say something like “at nearest” or “at farthest” or “on average” or give a rangeof distances that the stars fall into because the stars are not stuck to a series of concentric spheres around the earth with each constellation glued to a certain sphere

the eridanus constellation contains stars which are at or above approx. 10.5ly distant (the nearest star, according to the data i have, is epsilon eridani, which is given with a distance of 3.2161 parsecs or 10.491 lightyears in the last version of the HYG star database i downloaded; wikipedia claims “10.475 ± 0.004 ly” and does not have an attached citation for this information). many of the stars in eridanus are way, way farther away than a mere ~10.5ly, and i’m sure plenty of stars and other objects visible in the eridanus area of the earth’s sky do exceed 3 billion ly, but you cannot claim in any accuracy that the entireconstellation is 3 billion lightyears distant. fuck’s sakes.

acceptable reasons to exclude someone from the queer community:

• they, as an individual or movement, have a known pattern of being dangerous/hostile to other queer people (whether that be bigotry, being a predator, threats and/or violence, etc.)
  
• they, as an individual, just don’t want to be included personally

unacceptable reasons to exclude someone from the queer community:

• fitting a stereotype
• notfitting a stereotype
  
• “weird” labels
• multiple labels
• combined labels
• hyper-specific labels
• vague labels
• “conflicting” labels
• new labels
• old labels
  
• labels you personally don’t understand
• labels you personally don’t think are “allowed” to be queer
• labels that are exclusive to queer people from marginalized groups you’re not a part of (racial, cultural, disability, neurotype…)
  
• broad labels like two-spirit and intersex where some-but-not-all of the people included in the label identify with the queer community
• anything to do with their pronouns
• anything to do with their presentation
  

(do not tag as slur; you will be blocked)

May i add

Do not exclude someone for actually using the label and identify with queer.

Period.

hi, i’m op. i’m queer. that’s one of my primary labels as well as my umbrella. queer as a label has always been included in this post, under “vague labels” as well as under “old labels”.

i phrased this post without using many specific labels among the examples deliberatelyandon purpose, because i intended (and still intend) the post to be radically inclusive and using specific examples can imply that any labels which “didn’t make the cut” aren’t being included. they are. “queer” is every bit as included in this post as “cupiofluxromantic” or “pluralgender” or “stud” or “bi lesbian” or “just not straight/cis” or anything else you can possibly think of.

so you may add, but you didn’t need to. it’s already there.

i love blocking people for tagging my identity as a slur <3

people saying “old english” when they mean early modern english is… just. so silly. old english would be way more incomprehensible to modern listeners than anything written in early modern english is. shakespeare is notold english and it’s so, so funny to me when people think it is

why is it that every time i think “hm, i have too many tabs” and try to clear some of them out for better browser performance, halfway through that process i find myself in the bardcore corner of youtube, jamming out but also wondering how the fuck i got there

gods i hate the word “throuple” so much. if i ever wound up in a triad with people who insisted on calling it a throuple i would 100% dump them both.

aroace experiences? in MY protagonists? it’s more likely than you think!

so anyway, what if there’s two different version-exclusive final evolutions for every starter in scarlet and violet, purely so that absolutely nobody will be satisfied with what happens to the sprigatito line RE the bipedal/quadrupedal debate. i think that would be hilarious
