Today in “which of you nerds is parked next to me right now,” I know you’re out there

Official Post of Massachusetts

you know its telling how few people on the internet actually spend time outdoors in general and around actual gay men in particular

because to hear even Tumblr the "gay gender website" talk people only wear harnesses while strapped into a sex swing while being fisted

but the reality is that the harness, both leather and spandex, in gay male world is like stiletto pumps, a bright red lip stick, a short skirt or push up bra.

sure some people are wearing those things because they're about to get laid or hoping to. But lots of people wear them just to feel sexy, confident or powerful. And there's nothing X rated and "shouldn't be seen in public" about any of that.

lots of gay guys wear harnesses to bars or clubs not because its a sex thing, but because its a sexy thing, they feel attractive and confident.

I get that gay men feeling attractive and confident terrifies people, but if you're at Pride and a guy walks past you in jeans and a harness, either shirtless or over his shirt, he didn't violate your civil rights or do a sex thing in front of you, he's wearing a totally appropriate outside that makes him feel confident and powerful.

grow up, deal.

I own this exact harness and I wear it to play Beyblade. unironically

And you do indeed look very cool and powerful playing Beyblade

I do suffer the american condition of liking to drink huge drinks

Lemme get a little sippy

saw this post & blacked out for 30 minutes & came back to awareness having had created this. the creative urge overtook me.

“He would not fucking say that” except its the badly written source material so he did, in fact, say that

he did fucking say that but they don’t know him like i do

He said it, but given it was a stupid ass writing decision, I’ve elected to ignore it

I think that part of what irks me about AI being used even for "small" stuff like meme graphics (aside from all the larger problems obviously) is like.... the time spent on it was part of the humor. "this is a silly inconsequential joke but I had to stop everything and spend 5 minutes making it" was, at least for me, part of the joke. Someone really took time out of their day to make me look at something silly they took time out of their day to make. Now it's like someone took time out of my day to make me look at something no one even made. Stop wasting my time if you aren't wasting yours too.

me: *Closes three tabs of Wikipedia and nine of Mirriam-Webster* i can finally finish writing that tumblr post

i am EVIL!!! no I don't want to join your found family please go away,,

I'm literally pointing a death lazer at you

*sobs*

stop asking about my dad

realizing that the online sphere and especially tumblr is NOT a good sample for ‘what everyone thinks’ is so, so, so good for your mental health and moral OCD. i swear to god. realizing that you don’t have to live your actual life like you’re being hunted for sport because the average tumblr user will hunt you for sport for wording something slightly weird or engaging in the wrong stuff or whatever is so incredible. like no you’re actually not fucked up and evil for not donating or for watching that one indie cartoon or questioning a post that everybody is agreeing with. that’s just tumblrs georg making you feel that way

opened my wip and didnt immediately write a thousand new beautiful and perfect words so i'm going to smash my laptop with a hammer

nodding my head to show that i approve of all the shitty things this character has done because i'm a bad person

the point of fanfiction is to write something so self indulgent that nobody else has thought of it before or cares

theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.

Forever jealous of the Merlin cast. Imagine being in your 20s in the 2000s and your life consists of getting paid to do medieval larping, while surrounded by only attractive people.
