My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Being outed against your will is wrong - even if it goes well. 

Let’s say someone tells your parents (or a sibling or a friend who didn’t know yet etc.) that you’re queer, and they do so without your consent. Luckily, the person they told turns out to be supportive and open-minded, so the outing has no dire consequences for you. In such situations, you may feel (or the one who told them may tell you) that you have no right to feel upset or hurt. After all, you just gained a new supporter, right? They may even tell you they did you a favor and saved you the trouble of having to come out. 

But that’s oversimplified. The decision how and when to come out is so personal. You had the right to choose the “how and when” (and also the “if at all”), and the person who outed you took that decision away without asking your permission. That’s upsetting and hurtful, regardless of the reactions and results of their actions. They broke your trust by telling a secret, it’s as simple as that. 

You deserved better than that. You deserved to tell it to the people you wanted to tell, at the time you wanted to tell them, in the way you wanted to tell them. It wasn’t fair to take that from you. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

a crossover absolutely nobody asked for!

i can't express enough how much i love missy and malakai, their friendship and how they just get each other on such a deep level. how their aboriginality is expressed in how they dress and decorate their spaces (malakai often wears mob-owned brands, missy has an "always was always will be" sticker on her car and her hair tie during the footy game is black, red and yellow). how cheeky and playful they are with each other. how apparent it is when they're in scenes by themselves that they code-switch when talking to their non-aboriginal friends.

i like to imagine florida is the inverse of the phrase "it's easy, it's not rocket science!". he can, in fact, understand rocket science perfectly fine. he wrote a thesis once, believe it or not (nobody believes it). aerospace is his jam. marine science? yeah, pretty good at that. he cannot, however, understand (although not limited to):

gender

the law

consequences of his actions

what are appropriate things to say in a conversation

how to not voice every little thought he has

basic math (if not in regard to anything he's interested in, or it's something that he has to do)

basic reading (if not in regard to anything he's interested in, or it's something that he has to do)

that no matter how much she coos at the honey badger it will still maul her

he can't just give an IOU to the IRS instead of paying his taxes

jail is actually a real place that people go to

how to stay on topic

"fuck it, we ball" is not applicable to a natural disaster

the hurricane will not avoid him even if he "asks nicely"

the hurricane will not hit him even if he "asks nicely"

not everyone understands the complex inner machinations of his mind and his reasons for doing bizarre things

why tomatoes are fruits and not vegetables

why starfruit is not a shape named after a color

they don't always have to be the center of attention

some things are not meant to be eaten

the alligators will not listen to her every command nevermind, apparently they can do that

Headcanon: when Texas is feeling particularly bitchy he'll call California Poppy to mock the close friendship they once had. This used to really upset Cal, but now he just calls him Tejas in response.

New York is very proud of his boy

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Damn right we're gonna get blueberry slushy .

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

another super insulting part of the watcher situation i haven't rly seen ppl addressing much

ryan deadass saying smth like "nobody else on youtube has made tv quality content"

like... i really feel like it's important to highlight that bc not only do they obviously have no respect for their audience, but that statement shows they have no respect for their peers in the industry, either.

not to mention it is a shining example of bleeding arrogance to such a high degree, you will straight up fucking lie bc you're truly convinced you're that special when you're anything but.

there's been NUMEROUS online creators who were recognized by entertainment industry workers BECAUSE they made tv quality content & even full stop blockbuster quality content.

bo burnham started on youtube & is now one of the most wellknown & loved standup comedians of our generation, with numerous netflix specials & even a movie he wrote & directed under his belt.

the try guys, fellow ex-buzzfeed employees, had their own tv specials on food network (based off their youtube shows, btw) & a documentary made about them as well

rosanna pansino has also been on numerous food network shows both as a host & a judge

quinta brunsun, another fellow ex-buzzfeed employee, went on to create her own whole ass sitcom that has been highly praised

matpat cameo'd in the fnaf movie because of his theories & multiple other fnaf creators had small cameos through the employee of the month board easter egg

markiplier made multiple high-quality shows on youtube & is now working on a highly anticipated movie (he was also planned to cameo in the fnaf movie but couldn't due to conflicting schedules with his own movie)

hot ones got their own tv gameshow due to their popularity & they are still one of the most wellknown, beloved & respected internet shows

many short films made on youtube went on to premiere at film festivals & even in theaters

the hit horror film "talk to me" was created by youtubers rackaracka

webseries of actual fucking tv shows have also existed for literal decades

the list goes on.

to seriously think that overproduced bullshit is all you need to make "tv quality content" is not only tone-deaf, but shows they do not even know what they're talking about. many tv shows & huge blockbuster movies are made with absolutely microscopic budgets & small teams, & they still get praised & awarded for the passion, dedication, & creativity that shined brightly under those restrictions.

the blair witch project is probably the most wellknown & highly praised example of this, but it is far from the Only example

it is a whole other slap in the face, again ESPECIALLY when puppet history is one of their most popular shows, to spit in the face of internet history. to see the success of their predecessors, even ppl they fucking worked with at buzzfeed, & deny them of all their success & efforts to get where they ended up.

no, y'all are not the first people to make "tv quality content" on the internet. FAR from it. because your crap isn't even genuine "tv quality".

but you are the first ones to ever disrespect not only your audience, but your own fucking industry & your peers on this level.

& you are the first & i sorely hope the only fuckwads dumb enough to pull a stunt this fucking stupid, out of touch & utterly tone deaf.

want to be clear that if i ever talk about a headcanon and then later discuss a headcanon that is directly contradictory to the first one, that’s because headcanons exist in a quantum state where they are all simultaneously true and not true up until the point where i discuss it in detail, in which case that is the one that is true in that instance. schroedinger’s headcanons

Say whatever you want but Missy explaining Orpheus and Eurydice to Spider while he listens with genuine awe going "woag. Fr?? No shit?? Thats tragic asf waog.." is indeed peak romance and you can't do a thing to change my mind

Hi! I'm the anon who a while back said they were going to their first autism event. Just wanted to say how it went. It was a good first experience. It was mostly catered to families with young autistic children, lots of arts and craft things for children only. I had wanted to bring my ear defenders but I couldn't find them and I had hoped maybe the event would have some to borrow/rent out but alas no. They had a little tent for the children to get away from overstimulation of noise but adults weren't allowed to use it.

There were puzzle pieces everywhere. I saw only two booths there that had the infinity symbol. Only one family wore red with the symbol; everyone else wore shirts with jigsaw puzzles in bright primary colors. My boss also had no idea about autism in general (why'd you sign us up my dude) and I had to give him quick crash-course lessons on things because he kept making comments about some of the people/children there from not knowing any better.

I'm looking to see if the host's website would take suggestions for next year and see if they could include autistic adults more (there was only one booth there that I would consider for autistic adults; it was for group living).

That is very disappointing. 😞

Sounds like it was more aimed towards parents and carers?

I hope they take suggestions.
