I honestly believe that people who lost their childhood, teenage years to mental illness and/or trauma are so strong for still being here. Especially once you’re about 18-25 and trying to relearn how to be in society and healthy and human.
Especially when you decide to work towards getting better.
Especially when your life isn’t where you wished it would be.
Stay alive okay? If you lost your youth, I’m sorry and I’m so proud of you for still being here. Keep fighting. Your best years are ahead of you.
This is my naughty blog right now. Notice how the icon is that snazzy default thing?
That’s because it’s set to explicit, a setting that was locked after the great purge:
BUT
If you right-click on that toggle and click “inspect element”, you can change that.
Notice how the input tag has a disabled attribute? Just remove that whole thing:
The toggle is now active
And toggleable
And now, after a quick refresh, my old (crap, but real) icon and header image are back, and the blog is no longer treated as hidden or explicit.
The goggle also disappears after the refresh, but it’s worth noting that you can also edit the toggle back into the settings panel and change your blog back to explicit if you so desire.
This is a perfect example of the laziness of tumblr’s devs. They haven’t removed the functionality, they’ve just kinda-sorta hidden it a bit; the end-point that the explicit toggle hits is still there.
Please reblog this and post this is discords where people are having trouble with their blogs
My name’s Charlie, I’m a working nineteen year old who identifies as a transgender man. Part of what I experiance is gender dysphoria, which for me manifests into a physical and mental discomfort with my body. Over the years to combat this I have been wearing a binder, which presents the appearance of a flat chest. Unfortunately, there are medical side effects to this, one of the more common ones being severe back pain which in these years has warped my spine. To move on from using a binder and to help reduce my chronic back pain, as well as my dysphoria, multiple doctors have suggested that I undergo surgery that will give me a flat chest. This surgery would improve my overall quality of life.
This is where my gofundme comes in. Top surgery is, unfortunately, not a cheap process, the surgeon I met with has given me a ballpark of $8,000. Unlike many others my age, I am 100% financially independent. I am not in a position where I can easily save money as I live paycheck to paycheck. Working 40+ hours a week I am working to pay as much as my bills allow,however, if I continue saving the way that I am I will not be able to get surgery for far longer. My dysphoria and chronic pain does not account for this, and I fear that if I continue binding every day that my spine will warp further.
Anything helps in this process, and I truly am grateful for even those who read this. Donate if you can, otherwise please share. Thank you.
i love cutthroat kitchen but bingewatching makes it really stand out how often alton brown refers to himself as ‘daddy’ and makes contestants wear spreader bars
We met Alton Brown at a show he did here - we paid the extra cash to meet him and get a blurry cellphone pic with him and have him sign a picture. He noticed my (male) companion’s pocket watch, and proceeded to order him to take it out of his pocket. It wasn’t obnoxious, it was in a Dom tone that brooked no argument. So he complied. When he found out it wasn’t wound, and so not working, he was deeply disappointed, and told him to do better next time.
If this guy isn’t a Dom, I’ll eat that spreader bar.
