Anyway bi people are queer because they are attracted to multiple genders not because they are ‘same gender attracted”. Bi people aren’t half straight and half gay that’s not how being bi works and you don’t magically stop being bi if you enter into a ‘het’ relationship. Straight passing privilege is shitty idea used to make bi people feel like they should be thankful that they are silenced and also shame them for having the audacity to date someone of an opposite gender. Besides the queer community isn’t a fucking oppression olympics you don’t lose your card for not having enough bigots attack you per day. 

Bi people are still bi no matter who they choose to date or not date. Stop trying to tell bi people who they can acceptably date and what they get to call themselves and how they can define their attraction. 

“straight passing privilege” is a shitty concept that harms everyone, including “straight passing” gay people.

what a world we live in where erasure is construed as a “privilege”

twitter etiquette for new users

  • replying is how you make friends! reply to anything you want and be friendly. don’t make rude jokes if you’re not friends already though!
  • quote retweeting is a no-no. when you “retweet with a comment” it’s not liked by content creators because it makes a new tweet out of their tweet and they don’t get the likes and retweets they would get if you’d just retweeted it straight up. if you want to comment on a retweet, reply to it or post a new tweet starting with “LRT” which stands for “last retweet” (it’s fine to quote retweet dumb memes and so on.)
  • you can make your tweets private. this means no one but your followers will be able to see what you post and no one will be able to retweet your content.  you can switch back and forth between private and public at will. some people make a separate private account to tweet personal stuff and let mutuals follow it only. it’s a good way to keep things separate.
  • what is privatter? privatter is a third party web app that content creators can allow to be attached to their twitter. it lets them tweet content that they can make exclusive to logged in users, followers, mutuals, or a specific list of users. as long as you are logged in to twitter and fall into the intended category, you’ll be able to see it. 
  • you can mute people you follow. (and those you don’t, ofc.) you can also mute words and phrases and entire conversations. if you mute someone you follow and they reply to you, that reply will still show up in your notifications. it’s a good way to keep the peace!
  • you can limit notifications to people who follow you or to mutuals. (notifications from people you follow will still show up regardless of which option you’ve selected.)
  • miscellaneous tips and warnings: if you accidentally unfollow and refollow someone, it won’t show up in their notifications as long as it’s within a couple minutes. no more accidental stuff. everyone can see who everyone follows so watch out. people will know if you unfollow. if you want to report someone and want them gone forever, report a tweet where they used a curse word. screenshotting tweets for harassment is a no-no and can get you banned. don’t be lame. don’t be a dick. vaguing others is generally really bad form and so is complaining about content within a fandom you’re in. use the mute tools at your disposal and don’t be a spoiler. you won’t come back from a rep like that and everyone sees everything.

that’s it! happy tweeting!!

how do i keep all my content together on twitter?

  • threads are your best friend!! you make a tweet with your commission info and links and so on and pin it to the top of your page. then reply to that tweet with a copy and pasted link to the tweet where you posted the art/fic/etc you want to not lose. reply to that new tweet with the next piece of artwork and so on. you can also make a unique hashtag for your content to use when you post, so that when you search that hashtag later you’re able to see just your art. good luck!

pillowfort-io:

Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)

Fyi

Hey just fyi I tried to make an account earlier today and discovered that Pillowfort is down. Apparently so many people are migrating to it that they need to do some sort of maintenance or something?

WTF IS HAPPENING TO THIS SITE!?

Tumblr is where I got my start as a comic artist. Where I first learned about things like acknowledging my own privilege and black lives matter and LGBTQ+ and sex positivity and body positivity and SO. MUCH. MORE.

It just sucks to see a site that had such a positive impact on me literally go up in flames. I hope we can get through this.
