“Personally, it has taken me 47 years to stop calling people who are mean to you ‘in love’ with you. It took a long time because I think that as little girls we are conditioned to believe that cruelty and love somehow have a connection and that is like the sort of era that we need to evolve out of.”
A lot of folks seem to be unaware, so here’s a really weird thing about tumblr: if you have profanity in one of your tags on a post, that post won’t be visible to anyone viewing any of the other tags. So if you have one tag that’s “name of show” and another tag that’s “i love this fucking show”, as far as I can tell anyone viewing the “name of show” tag won’t see your post. Seriously, it’s only visible on your blog. Even deleting the offending tags won’t bring it back–you need to delete and recreate the post.
If you’re posting something with the intention that it be seen by people who don’t follow you, make sure to double-check that you can actually see your post in the tag!
Benji’s Closet was an organization dedicated to assisting transgender and other LGB+ individuals. We were a major resource, and we answered many questions a day from people who needed support, and now we have to start again from the beginning.
We’re doing this now under phoenixcollective, which I feel is a much better name regardless, but every reblog helps. staff has refused to get back to us in regards to our blog being taken down and we weren’t given a reason for it.
Hell, I’m hoping this gets big enough that staff is willing to give me a real explanation as to why almost half a year of work done by a team of people for charitable purposes was completely wiped off the site without any real help from them.
