thread on why people put content warnings on mastodon, for new users <3 

(reposting from my old account)

okay so, in my early days on mastodon, I didn't understand why people were expected to put content warnings on politics

to me, it seemed like another example of a community trying to stay together while excusing people for views that completely exclude the members the community's most marginalized members, and an attempt to silence those members.

as I stayed on mastodon however, I realized that this, just wasnt the case

Reminder to self: gotta follow lots of folks.
This ain't twitter--people don't flood your TL like they do there, so follows are cheap and good!

Like FFS I never thouight it'd be IMPORTANT but here I am.

Okay, so... I'm mostly male presenting but I have two girl nipples and 1 boy nipple.

So, am I tumblr safe?

Sorry I've been quiet folks! I had a gigantic Roadkill-Esque adventure involving $700 in car parts, three days of auto repair, getting sprayed with antifreeze, and one evening with an absolutely Worth It couple of furry friends.

Before: Hey remember Every time you were socially Awkward, EVER? Now you do!

After: Hey, yeah, I saw you were getting really depressed about Summer, 2015 so I redacted those bits for you. Now you just remember the Good stuff being Important.

Multiple systems before understanding what's happening: Every mental illness known to man in rotating order.

Multiple systems once you know what's going on: Pitting your mental illnesses against each other in a Hunger Games style battle royale.

It's really hard to express what I'm feeling as something other than:
"What malevolent spirit is going around fucking with the heads of all my friends?!"
Because seriously, I've given the same therapy routine to five people in a row now. It's starting to feel more like an exorcism than anything.

So, my hair elastic just straight up died at the end of the day.
Pulled it off, floofed out my hair, and was cleaning up the shop when my co-worker Orion, the adorable little 19 year old straight boi walks in the shop and I Saw him jump three points on the Kinsey scale.
"Woah. I never get to see you with your hair down. that's incredible."

I've joked before that the only deciding factor on my Gender is a generic hair tie. I just got to see it in Action.

On lunch, having that panic feeling, but a system check comes back negative for anything to be anxious about.

Alright, got an intruder, weapons lockers are hot, shoot first ask questions later. Anyone important can be put back together after. Not getting overrun by Xenos again.

Sometimes you have to lay traps for yourself loaded with Nice things. Little rewards or surprises that help guide you Towards happiness.

Most of what actually Works is tricking yourself into being happy about what you've already earned, and unfocused on what you lack.

I have this bad habit of misreading a blueprint and making Stainless parts when the print called for Delrin plastic.
