Do Not Follow

I hope most of these people aren’t on here but just in case, do not follow if:

  • You’re Alt-Right/Neo-Nazi/White nationalist etc, or an apologist for people who are

  • You’re a Trump supporter (probably covered by above)

  • You’re a TERF or otherwise transphobic

  • You’re homophobic/biphobic/anti-LGBT+ in any way

  • You’re an ace/aro exclusionist (should be covered by above but the people it applies to don’t think it is, so I made it a separate item)

  • You’re truscum or anti-nonbinary

  • You don’t think anyone should be allowed to reclaim the word ‘queer’ as a personal identifier

  • You think paedophilia or being ‘minor attracted’ is acceptable

  • You think sending people death threats can ever be justified

  • You’re a porn blog (as in all or mostly porn – I’m an adult, so blogs that post occasional nsfw content aren’t a problem)

  • You’re anti-religion (as in against religion altogether – simply being an atheist or someone who criticises the problems caused by some religious groups is absolutely fine)

  • You support Autism Speaks or the idea of ‘curing’ autism

  • You ship incest or adult/minor pairings. I’m aware I can’t tell people what to ship, but I want to completely avoid that content because it makes me deeply uncomfortable

Do not complain to me that I’m ‘lumping in X group with Y group’ - this is not a list of people I think are equally bad, it’s a list of people I do not want to interact with me or my posts.

More Pre-Following Info

Minors are allowed to follow me, but be aware that I’m an adult, and while my blog is mostly safe for work, I don’t filter every post I make or reblog based on whether it’s appropriate for younger people or not.

You can unfollow me at any time, even if we’re mutuals, and I will not do anything about it. If you want me to unfollow you, I will if you ask me to, or you can just block me. I promise it won’t matter. Chasing down people who unfollow to yell at them is petty and immature, and I’ve got better things to do. If you’re not enjoying my content any more, feel free to leave, no hard feelings.

Tagging preferences

I don’t have any triggers, but I find it helpful if you tag nsfw, gore, and any posts containing aphobia and/or ace discourse.

I try to tag things that could be triggering, including rape, abuse, p(a)edophilia (I tag with both the British and American spellings), police brutality, violence, transphobia, homophobia, eating disorders, ableism and possibly some others I’ve forgotten. If you need something more specific tagged, feel free to message me on or off anon (if you message about this off anon I will answer privately)

Askbox/DMs

Anyone can send me asks or dm me as long as the messages aren’t rude or inappropriate.

Mutuals are encouraged to message me. (That’s not intended as pressure, I just love making online friends)

If you want to ask something off-anon but don’t want it published, just put (private) or something and I won’t publish it.
