Fascinating how white liberals and white supremacists get along perfectly 

Excuse me, but I’d really like to fucking know why somebody felt the need to put a June 2017 timestamp on a November 2016 photo taken of a Jewish journalist who was not only assigned to interview Spencer for her election night coverage article, but was also racially and sexually harassed by him during said interview: 

“I feel like this is an inquisition”—when he refused to say whether Hitler was good or bad—“he’s an important historical figure”—or whether the Holocaust was good or bad, said that the anti-Semitic alt-right trolls haranguing me and other Jewish journalists were “just kids having fun,” and when he slid his finger down the back of my dress and said, “You have a slit here.” Surprised at my request not to touch me, he asked me to “calm down.”

I’d like to know why somebody thought it would be funny to take a photo of a Jewish woman who immigrated to this country as a refugee, misrepresent its context, gloss over the harassment she endured (both from Spencer and his followers throughout the campaign), and then compare her, a victim of white supremacy, to a fucking white supremacist. 

Because I know people took Trevor Noah to task for hanging out with Tomi Lahren, but I don’t think anyone compared him to a white girl with friends in the KKK, so…

Ace/Aro education scribble PSA

[Caption]
Hey, PSA:

Don’t be arophobic when supporting asexuality!

DO THIS:

“I’m asexual and panromantic, so I feel romantic attraction, but not sexual attraction!”

NOT THIS:

“I’m asexual but I still want a partner just like anyone else! We still date and fall in love like normal people!”

Don’t be acephobic when talking about aromanticism!

DO THIS:

“I find people sexy sometimes, but I’m not attracted romantically to anyone!”

NOT THIS:

“I don’t really do relationships, but of course I still have normal urges. It’s human nature!”

Sometimes, in asexual & aromantic communities, we throw each other under the bus when trying to explain ourselves.

Usually we don’t mean to, but let’s try hard to avoid “education” that relies on casting other groups in a negative light or erasing them altogether.

Love, your friendly neighborhood ace/aro

See how J.K. Rowling can appropriate a culture and make money off of it and yet actual Native women like Joy Harjo and Joanelle Romero aren’t even allowed to embrace theirs in this industry?

Joanelle Romero is told by studio executives that nobody wants to see
Native people in a modern narrative and Joy Harjo is told to remove
Native people from her stories if she wants her stories to be a success.

But NATIVE PEOPLE are the ones who aren’t being cooperative when it

comes to representing ourselves in the media? It almost sounds like the
media has a goddamned problem with us. But what else is new?

So on top of having medical bills out my ears, I also don’t have a place to stay at the moment. So really anything helps! Especially since I can’t move back into my apartment for another month or so! 

I’m still dealing with breathing issues to the point where I’m periodically wearing a face mask to get through the day. I’m literally worried that at some point I might not be able to take a puff out of my inhaler and suffocate to death as a result.

TUMBLR 101: HOW TAGS WORK! (May 2017)

Tags vs. Search

The first 5 tags!

  • The first 5 tags are your best bet! 
  • Only the first 5 tags show up in tracked tags. Tracked tags are more reliable than search if you want your content to be seen and / or reblogged.
  • Put the important tags (ex. show name, actor name, artist name) in the first 5 tags.
  • Only the first 20 tags show up in search.
  • Only the first 20 tags will cause the post to show up in the tag on your blog
    (i.e. asoiafuniversity.tumblr.com/tagged/resources)
  • So start with the important tags for tracked tags / search, then add tags like “my edits” or “mine” for your own blog organization, and then add FEELINGS and TAG COMMENTARY at the end. 
  • Only new posts will show up in public tracked tags or search. Reblogs will not show up in tracked tags or search.
  • Avoid unnecessary punctuation. Apostrophes ’ are ok to use, but tags with a slash / or a hyphen – or a plus sign + or an equal sign = will NOT show up in tracked tags.

Tagging Etiquette

  • Don’t tag your hate; it’s considered rude
  • If you use anti tags like #ANTI SHIPNAME, everyone who is searching for SHIPNAME will see your anti post. Don’t use SHIPNAME when creating your anti tag if you don’t want people to get upset about it. 
  • Don’t put something that isn’t an edit in an edit tag. People are going into the edit tag to look for edits and if your post isn’t an edit, it defeats the purpose of the edit tag. 
  • Don’t spam the tags. 
  • Reblog; don’t repost
  • The OP (original poster) will often read your tags when you reblog a post, so if you say something nasty in the tags, the OP will (probably) see it. Say something nice instead!
