i get that its very amusing to you guys but when non-brits make fun of heavily accented british dialects and say they’re impossible to understand or they sound funny or stupid its just like… why are you helping these elitist english pricks out? its historical fact that the upper class in the UK Deliberately cultivated a southern “"english”“ accent amongst themselves that they decided denoted ‘status’ and have since called all other british accents 'unintelligable’ in order to protect class boundaries. accent is Such a sensitive race and class related subject here - oftentimes your accent is Assumed to indicate if you’re intelligent or not which is just Bullshit. its used to gatekeep jobs and housing and schools. so can you at least Try to stop making fun of british regional/working class accents and bully the posh english twats instead. we get enough shit at home without americans or whoever else on twitter joining in
we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don’t even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i’m opening fire
*sound of gun cocking* they can be disabled
tumblr’s current business model isn’t profitable and never will be and no amount of scolding from staff blogs or tumblr ad-free pay piggies is gonna fix that. don’t let yourself be guilted into buying merch, badges or ad-free. you’re throwing your money into a bottomless pit while the techbro ghouls running this website laugh about you at their next board meeting while applauding the shmucks coming up with new ideas on how to twitter- or tiktokify the website
“but tumblr needs to make money!!!”
if tumblr really wants its regular user onboard with keeping the website afloat then we should at least demand that they do the bare minimum in keeping the site functional. and right now, they’re not even doing that. every change they’ve made lately has made the website/app worse. i should give my money to tumblr so what—they can make a more intrusive version of tumblr live? remove the chronical dashboard? come up with an even more transphobic way of doing content moderation? yeah, no thanks
Apparently this has the remaining chemists all in his menchies right now due to cis being a Latin term meaning “on the same side” I.e. Cis-alpine, cis-isomer etc.
my best friend from high school is a chemist and when he joined an LGBT group in college, the first question from the people there (for whatever insane reason) no context no lead-up was “cis or trans?”
and he, as a good chemist was like “oh trans of course” (“because it’s more stable” he said to me later) and the people were like “yay cool!” and he hung out with them for MONTHS with them thinking he was either a trans girl or trans guy (he is neither, just very short and ambiguous). until it came up again when someone was like “wow cool we’re all transgender at this table” and he’s like “but I’m not???”
they got very upset and accused him of lying to them to join the group?? (he is gay) and then he remembered that very first conversation and was like, oh motherfucker.
this is the same friend who got hit on by a lesbian in Toys R Us because she thought he was a butch girl. until he was like “oh yeah I’m getting a gift for my boyfriend” and she was like, “oh my god I’m so sorry, I thought you were gay!!”
and he’s like, “I am…”
and she goes “…you mean, you’re bisexual?”
and he goes “…no…just gay…”
and this back and forth continues until it slowly dawns on them both that this girl completely mistook his gender and she is so DEEPLY mortified. and my friend starts trying to console her like “oh well I admire your gumption, you’re very brave for asking me out, never give up!!”
