Because Apparently This Needs To Be Brought Up Again: The Non-man Loving Non-man And Non-woman Loving

because apparently this needs to be brought up again: the non-man loving non-man and non-woman loving non-woman definitions of gay & lesbian enforce a binary and are inherently harmful towards multigendered individuals.

you are free to use these definitions, if you desire, but do not force them upon others. i do not want to be involved in your binary nor do many other people.

queer love for women and queer love for men are 100% acceptable definitions.

RADQUEERS GO AWAY

Tumblr Migration 2: Reddit Boogaloo

We all know about the Twitter immigrants, but there seems to be radio silence on what's happening now with Reddit users from certain subreddits doing a similar thing.

What's happening?

Reddit is restricting their API later this month and killing off third-party apps. An AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO Steve Hoffman was held and it was clear that he would continue with the changes.

In protest, thousands of subreddits across the site are planning to go dark for 48 hours on June 12th. Some are planning to continue indefinitely until the changes are reversed.

Okay, so how does this affect Tumblr?

Some subreddits (mainly queer and left-leaning meme ones, don't worry too much about Reddit Atheists™ overrunning us) are encouraging their users to jump ship to our beloved - and beloathed - hellsite. There will be another influx of new users and many will be unfamiliar with how the site works.

What do us Tumblr users do?

Show them how to use the site; introduce them to the site's culture, tell them to reblog shit and curate their dashboard. Sorta like how we welcomed Twitter users back when they flocked here. Kungpowpenising optional.

I'm new from Reddit, what do I do here?

CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND BANNER TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT BECAUSE THIS SITE IS FILLED WITH BOTS AND YOU MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ONE. This is the FIRST thing you should do after getting a blog.

Other folks can help you with stuff like curating your dashboard or creating sideblogs (or you can look shit up) but please, PLEASE just give yourself an icon and reblog some stuff so people don't mistake you for a bot

you the person reading this

YOU are an mspec gay and / or an mspec lesbian!

Reminder that bi lesbians are valid and the split attraction model is for everyone. this blog is a safe place for bi lesbians, we do not gatekeep labels here.

google docs HATES them! writer has a style that actually sounds like someone talking, not like a perfectly grammatically correct robot!
