Petition to the Government of Canada to grant asylum to transgender and non-binary people from any country that has laws hostile to them, including countries historically considered “safe” such as the UK and the USA.
okay but this actually kinda fucks. like the design is so covert and well done. no one who isn’t on here would think it’s anything but some meaningless artsy aesthetic quote
So Cecil won the Sexyman Rematch and honestly, isn’t that just the essence of modern tumblr?
Like when the original match was on Twitter, Sans won. And like, sure that makes sense and he wasn’t a BAD pick and I don’t think people still voting for him are wrong, but it’s also just the obvious “lol isn’t tumblr so weird?” pick that you’d EXPECT a bunch of ex-tumblr users on Twitter to choose. Like, haha we picked the weird skeleton guy as our sex symbol, wasn’t tumblr a wacky time?
Because the users who fled to Twitter did so because they realized tumblr was a cringey hellsite and wanted nothing to do with it. They were embarrassed by their tumblr phase, and they still are.
But the tumblr users still here are the ones who decided that, yeah, we’re cringe as hell, who gives a shit? And because of that, the current vibe on tumblr is just, overall, an unabashedly honest revelry in our weirder interests. Like, yeah, we’re still a mess and a hellsite and there’s toxic shit, but it’s the internet, what do you expect? The tumblr community is able to look fondly on the cringe of the past and move on to the sincerity of the future, and that’s part of why we picked Cecil.
Because yeah, it’s still weird and So Tumblr that a guy with no physical appearance won the sexy tournament, but if you look at the people celebrating Cecil’s win, that aren’t focusing on that aspect so much. They’re celebrating everyone’s favorite canonically gay uncle who dresses like a loser and loves his husband. Cecil is cringe, but we love him.
This isn’t ex-tumblr picking the wackiest choice, it’s current tumblr looking back on that cringey era and finding the joy in it, and I think that THAT is just so tumblr
