I really hate the “posting =/= agreement” (posting doesn’t equal agreement) excuse.
If you don’t agree with it, DON’T POST IT. Don’t boost it, reblog it, or whatever. If you’re making a reply to debunk it, great. But don’t just post stuff out of context that you don’t agree with.
That excuse just comes off as a preemptive way to get away with saying something you know is bad, but you have a built-in excuse to share something you secretly agree with, and if someone calls you out for it you can just say “sharing isn’t agreeing!”

Sure! I made a whole list over on tumblr. Now granted it’s only three posts but it all happened clustered around the same time. Since I made this post here on the fediverse I haven’t noticed any new jumblr posts being erroneously labeled mature.

They’re by Jewish folks and some of them mentioned antisemitism. But antisemitic posts don’t get marked, just posts talking ABOUT it. Which is why I think it was caused by bad-actors reporting the posts.

Something weird is happening on Tumblr, where random Jewish posts are being forcibly slapped with the "Mature warning" label. This is bad for several reasons:
Firstly, these posts aren't "mature"
Secondly, a post being labelled as "Mature" hides it from users under the age of 18
Thirdly, blogs that post a lot of content that gets labelled as "mature" may have their whole BLOG marked as "mature". Against their will. Just for being Jewish

Happy Eighth Night of Hanukkah!
I think it’s special the eighth night is falling on the northern winter solstice this year. Across the world, we are all putting maximum light into the deepest darkness.
When it is darkest, we shine the brightest.

The 70 year old lady who i just saw buy a neon pink poster board from the dollar store is going to do truer art than anything AI can produce.

Just saw a retoot of someone claiming democrats never do anything to “lessen the horrors”.
That’s weird, because I seem to remember that the past two Democratic presidencies were full of the lessening of horrors. Some people seem to have selective amnesia about all the good things Obama and Biden did, it’s super odd.
Maybe they didn’t do the specific thing you wanted them to do, but to act like Democrats have collectively done nothing when they actually had power is a flat-out lie and folks spreading such rhetoric should honestly not be taken seriously.
Not only should they not be taken seriously, but there’s a chance you should treat them with suspicion. Russian-run accounts were literally found to be operating on tumblr during some of the recent elections. An enormously popular “leftist” blog was being run by Russia.
No, I’m not making this up:

Saw a fascinating deer interaction in the field behind my apartment this morning. The normal herd was about, eating grass. Three females and their babies, although their babies are these days more like teens, having lost their fawn coats.
But then they all lifted their heads and looked to the edge of the field, where a new female with her fawn were standing. She slowly approached, and one of the females who was clearly the leader of the group stepped towards her. Suddenly the lead female reared up on her hind legs and attacked the new female, who also reared up to defend herself. But the main female clearly won the brief fight.
The new female and her fawn stepped away from the group, and started feeding. Other members of the main herd started eating too. The lead female slowly followed the new female across the field a bit, and the new female retreated every time she approached, but the lead female didn’t attack again.
I don’t know ANYTHING about herd dynamics for white tailed deer, but I learned a lot just watching this interaction! I wonder if the new female will try to integrate with the herd. There were three females in the herd, guess I’ll look the next time they come through.

I think there's probably a link between the perception that trans men dominate trans discourse, that we're overrepresented in media, and that we talk over others, when statistically we are actually underrepresented, erased, and ignored…
…and the studied phenomenon that when men and women share a conversation, women were described as "dominating" the conversation when they actually spoke less than 50% of the time.
AKA it's sexism and misogyny. It's always sexism and misogyny. Which are things trans men have to deal with because surprise, we live in a patriarchal society that teaches everyone to be sexist and misogynistic.

No, Qatar is not getting its own air base on US soil.
They are coming to the US to train their Air Force on the F-15’s they just received from the US. This is normal and common and the USA has done this kind of thing for many other countries in the past.
Facilities are being built on a base in Idaho to accommodate the training. This facility won’t be owned by Qatar, it’s still US property. Building such facilities is normal and has happened before in US bases.
Nothing happening here is unprecedented.

Sex and gender are constructs of the Patriarchy. The patriarchy only recognizes two binary genders, which are based on one of two binary sexes that someone is assigned at birth. You are either assigned male and a man, or you are assigned female and a woman. Those are your only choices under the patriarchy.
Cis men are at the top, and cis women are below the cis men. But BOTH of those groups are above anyone who doesn't conform to the system. And, if we want to be specific, it's white cis men and white cis women.
Trans people, however, do not conform to the system. Therefore, we are all oppressed by it. We cannot be privileged by it, nor can we benefit from it. This is also why trans men do not fit into the patriarchal social class of "men": that class only contains cis men. Therefore, we do not benefit from any privileges assigned to cis men under the patriarchy. Because we're not cis men. And the only "man" the patriarchy recognizes are cis men.

I saw the PERFECT vehicle the other day. It was a truck, but it was small! It was so cute! And it was a Subaru! "That's perfect," I thought. I googled "Subaru Baja".

It’s funny watching an early episode of TNG with a bunch of extras with lots of lines who never become permanent characters and just disappear forever.

TNG is always putting Picard and Beverly into Situations.

I was an 80’s/90’s kid, so the Star Trek that was actually airing was TNG, DS9, and VOY. That said, my first memories of Star Trek are of TOS.
I remembering seeing an episode at a very young age where a plant attacks them. It was Christmastime, we were at my Grandparents’ house, and my cousins and I played Zombies Ate My Neighbors on NES.
But the most formative Star Trek experience is actually Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country! I know that one doesn’t get as much love as II-IV, but it was foundational for me. Seeing that pink Klingon blood floating in zero G… now THAT was a special effect.

I have to admit I kinda like using a social media site with a little jank to it.
“Yeah, it’s a bit clunky but I know the guy who built it! Every now an’ agin ya gotta go an’ kick it a bit t’git it workin’ right, but that’s alright!”
