should also add: it's not even always rational. people can do things together without me! you aren't going to invite 15 friends to the movies every single time! and yet i still wince. i think the curse of growing up a lonely kid gave me permanent fomo.

and I don’t mean hurts like “oh man that sucks.” i mean hurts in the way that it lingers in my mind for DAYS

it sucks that no matter how old i get, seeing friends hanging out without me still feels like the deepest betrayal there is. i wish it didn’t but fuck it hurts every single time

a search of his name on bluesky yields a scant four results, so i will add a fifth for all to see: avi schiffman is a fucking sack of shit loser and the strongest argument i’ve seen yet for bringing back in-person ass kickings, something his little ai device can’t do.

getting asked this a lot, understandably! i’m trying to figure out a new way to make them accessible.

in the meantime, if there’s a story you can’t find, dm me and i can help you out. i’d appreciate a kofi donation if you do - i’ve had one tip on there in the last 12 months 😅

When will we be able to access the rest of your stories again? I miss how convenient it was to read them through Tumblr.

not only was robert redford a dedicated conservationist, true movie star, and global icon, but he was also smoking hot for his entire life and that’s something to aspire to

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Thank you to the eagle-eyed reader who DMed me to let me know that my tumblah had vanished. No, I did not delete it myself. I've received no communication of any kind nor did I have any flagged posts to my knowledge.

Have emailed support to see if I can be reinstated. 🤷‍♂️

I like the ones that tell me I’ve defaulted on my student loans (I don’t have student loans) or my car is going to be repossessed (I don’t have a car)

HILARIOUS that I never had any issue in the years during their infamous "porn ban." Go figure.

Reuploading an old obsession, based on 'Upgraded' by @aardvarkia.bsky.social
#APTF #Masculinization

A young adult sitting in a first-class seat on an airplane, sipping from a glass, as his left hand firmly grips the incredibly oversized hairy gut that has splayed his shirt wide open. It's too large for him, but his expression is unfazed. A large seat belt wraps around his midsection.
