I like Star Wars. A Lot.

I left tumblr about two months ago. Actually, I left social media in general about two months ago. It was bad for my mental health. There was a brief adjustment period, but I’ve been much happier and feeling much better since I left social media behind. I had one queued post that went up a few days ago, but aside from that, there’s been no activity on my account.

Hopped on tonight (obviously), and holy shit tumblr has changed a lot in the past two months.

I do not like the new interface at all. Tumblr live? wtf is that bullshit. get that off my dash and burn it with fire. My activity feed was nothing but pornbot follows, so I went through the housekeeping of reporting and blocking all of them.

Gotta say, this hasn’t inspired me to want to come back.

wild how much fatphobia completely does away with so many things typically regarded as aspects of male privilege
“men’s clothing sizes are simple and easy both to navigate and to find” unless they’re fat
“men don’t have to deal with street harassment” unless they’re fat
“men don’t deal with groping and nonconsensual touching from strangers” unless they’re fat
“doctors take men’s health problems seriously and their pain is seen as real” unless they’re fat
“systemic infrastructure like medical research, crash testing, etc, is all based on men’s bodies, so men get a world that’s literally made for them” Unless They’re Fat
That’s because one of the functions of fatphobia is de-gendering. Being fat makes you less man and less woman. Because being fat makes you less human. Like for the same reason why fat women’s clothes is always hyperfeminine because you have to be performing gender that much harder to be treated like your gender. Fat men have to as well, and there’s a clear difference between how ppl treat fat men who are hypermasculine presenting (beard, lumberjack outfit, ykwim) than like softer looking fat men.

Any of my BC followers know of resources for finding a therapist that is covered by MSP?

I need help, but it’s gotta be covered. The last time I had a therapist I was referred by my doctor, but that was a total disaster and I’m not keen on going through my doctor again, I prefer to choose one myself.

I genuinely hate to say this but please reblog if you hit the like button for a larger sample size thank you <3

I have adhd. One of the things that does is make me very susceptible to short video clips and infinite scrolling. If I’m not careful, I can easily end up swiping to the next clip all night. And not in a metaphorical “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse” way, but in a very literal “it was 10pm when I started and it is now 8am” way. It is the worst and I hate it.

Unfortunately, because it’s a very lucrative model, most social media platforms have adopted some form of it so they can have a slice of that sweet money pie. Facebook has “Stories”, Instagram has “Reels”, YouTube has “Shorts”, and Tik Tok is Tik Tok.

Initially it was pretty easy to avoid, but as time goes on, they’re pushing it more and more. Instagram is practically unusable for me at this point. You’re a photo sharing app Instagram, why the fuck do you need “Reels”? It’s marginally easier to avoid on FB, but not by much. I almost solely use the FB messenger app at this point, and they’re even trying to push it there now.

I don’t really have a point beyond that the situation sucks, and I legitimately worry that this trend isn’t just unhealthy for me, but for everyone.
