Is it just me or is everyone on facebook boring and do I want to murder my family?
I still don’t have computer access and I won’t be getting my old laptop back. Hoping that job I applied for comes through.
EDIT: It’s just me, for now.

Apologies for my absence. I’ve been using a rather old, albeit reliable, Dell laptop for the last year or so and the hard drive has finally decided it’s had enough (I can’t blame it, really). So, I’ve taken my “good” laptop (quotation marks because it’s a Vaio) in to PB Tech to be repaired after all this time and it looks like the faults with this one...
My mother has always treated me like owing her my existence is some sort of privilege, when in reality every day I spend living in her house is another day I totally regret. I can’t fucking stand her.

Geeks
tylercoates:
occupythedisco:
I think the reason I find geek culture so obnoxious at times to engage in is because the people are for the most part the same privileged dips that inhabit mainstream culture, but with the added detriment of a victim complex. They’re still largely white and center their race, they’re still largely straight and center their sexuality, they’re still largely cis men...
myheadisweak asked: I'm in the same boat as you. Maybe you need new friends, or a change in scenery.
I think I need to adjust my understanding of friendship and liking people and enjoying their company because I’m not really getting a lot of enjoyment out of any of these things at the moment.

On identifying as queer
My sexuality is not normative. But it looks normative. My romantic interest is primarily in men and male identified people and I’m a cis woman whose appearance is pretty femme. When I spend time with the people I date, we look like a straight couple.
But sexual attraction is a whole different story for me....

Having freakishly large feet isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You don’t know true sadness until you find out that a pair of shoes you really want only goes up to size 12.

Here’s my evidence that it’s not “normal”:
I’ve never had a crush on a celebrity, ever (and yes, I’m ages past puberty).
I’ve never found anyone “physically” attractive….just aesthetically so. This means I literally do not experience sexual attraction.
What I DO experience is emotional attraction…as in, if I’m not emotionally connected to you, I’m not going...

Different types of attraction.

Sexual attraction: When one desires to have sexual relations with another specific person or persons. Sometimes it is felt along with other forms of attraction such as, romance, friendship.
“That guy is so damn sexy, I could take him to bed and shag him all night long.”

I hate when people think I'm straight.
queerandpresentdanger:
Especially when they’re men and they do it for the express purpose of common ground by objectifying women.

“Bisexual” is not oppressive, can we talk about...
mikroblogolas:
This topic has been discussed to death, and yet it continually comes up in tumblr discussion. So let me establish once and for all (I swear, I will never discuss this again) that “bisexual” is not an oppressive identity.
Bisexual is not binarist.
The argument that it is binarist posits that (1) bisexuality is attraction to binary-identified (sometimes people throw in “cis” too)...
So, they performed the surgery to remove the blood vessel cluster, which has been sitting there idle her whole life, and they did a brain scan to check for other clusters and didn’t find any. The doctors are holding a conference in about an hour because there’s apparently a “big story” behind what has happened to her. Otherwise, the next 24 hours are crucial in...
My mum woke me up about forty minutes ago, at about 5:20 am, to tell me that my cousin had just suffered a massive brain haemorrhage, completely out of the blue, and had been flown to hospital for emergency surgery and could very possibly die. There is apparently a cluster of veins in her brain, that have possibly been there her entire life, but weren’t meant to be there at all, which burst...

"Friendzoned? I thought we were legit friends."
Friend-zoning is a stupid concept. Forgive me because this is gonna come out sounding muddled, but I need to get this down for my own sake.
Sure, I understand what it feels like because everyone does and you’re not as special as you think you are. I was thinking about this and was trying to reason a scenario it which using the term “friendzone” might be acceptable. Like, if...

A Brief List and Analysis of White Savior Films
iamabutchsolo:
A White Savior Film (WSF) is a movie that features a white person coming into the lives of a person or people of color (POCs) who are often low-income, troubled, and/or severely oppressed. The troubled times that the people of color are in can be a product of oppression from other white folks, or their own doing. Either way, the White Savior comes in, quickly sympathizes with the...

you know when you see someone so perfect it makes you want to gouge your eyes out
So, I don’t like everyone I follow. Sometimes, I just have this morbid fascination with people, or I get off a bit on criticising them for their every post.
There’s also this interesting dynamic that revolves around the inanity of tumblr in general, in which some of my most favourite and least favourite blogs are some of the most inane.
I don’t feel bad because tumblr is all...
