Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear to you gadjo (non-romani/Roma people)
👏STOP SAYING THE FUCKING WORD GYPSY👏
You don’t have a “gypsy soul”, there’s nothing sexy about being forced to be a nomad because of government persecution
You’re not a “gypsy witch”, divinitation (crystal balls, tarot cards, palm reading, etc) was used to razzle dazzle the gadjo because governments made it ILLEGAL to employ Romani people
50-65% of the Romani population in Europe was wiped out because of the Holocaust because Hitler hated the “dirty gypsies”. You read that right, 50-65% of the Romani population DEAD because of the Holocaust.
No, you don’t have “gypsy style” because your idea of “gypsy style” is romanticized garbage, made up by European travelers when the camera became mobile and they explored Asia (this romanticization and fetishizing was a wide spread issue with each culture and population they encountered, posing the people in positions and outfits THEY DEEMED SEXY, not what the natives found comfortable/attractive). Fashion stores, STOP USING BOTS to auto like “gypsy” tags on Instagram, this is a HUGE problem there
Some Romani/Roma have tried to reclaim the term (similar to queer with the lgbt community), but many Romani still find the term gypsy incredibly hurtful.
“Kate McCormick, Seduced and pregnant by her father’s friend, Unwed she died from abortion, her only choice, Abandoned in life and death by family, With but a single rose from her mother, Buried only through the kindness of an unknown benefactor, Died February 1875, age 21, Victim of an unforgiving society, Have mercy on us.”
THIS is why we need to keep abortion legal and accessible to everyone who wants or needs one. We have the tools and knowledge to keep abortions safe and we can’t let ourselves regress in the medical field. FYI if someone wants an abortion, they’re going to get it by any means necessary.
Because most people never see farm animals being their most natural selves, people tend to think of them as almost inert. When any animal other than a dog is playful or affectionate, people say, “That cow (or pig, etc.) ‘thinks he’s a dog,’ or is ‘acting like a dog’” The reality is, most farm animals naturally romp, play, nuzzle, think, have best friends and show affection.

a few pages from the 19th century diary of miss elizabeth aveling. i don’t know who she was or where she was from, but holding her diary of sketches and daydreams was transcendent.
At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.
They gave me a number to shoot for. It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.
So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.
I got what I asked for.
If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known. I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.
You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.
Because this is crucially important
Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.
its actually really aggravating that any conversations about problems with tumblr always end up having to be all about fandom and peoples precious erotic fanfiction and fanart bc like “losing fandom history” is not an actual problem in the real world and constantly making it out to be some crisis makes all the complaints about this website seem like a silly gimmick to outsiders. no one pays attention to or cares about the actual problems with this website cuz the public face of the complaints is “fandom freedom is being threatened” and its annoying that that remains the case bc people always hijack the situation to make it about fandom bs.
like its apalling that articles about tumblr give barely a sentence to acknowledge that there were cp rings and pedo positivity blogs operating in the open on tumblr. of the most recent batch of news many only briefly mentioned how much the newest update is going to affect sex workers before dovetailing into paragraphs about fandom artists and the “november purge” (which lmao a lot of those artists were not deleted out of the blue they were notified and it was bc of underage nsfw fanart, p much everyone i follow who was actually deleted by accident got their blog back) and the na/zi problem is only being brought up as a zinger about nipples when there should be articles about radicalization on tumblr the same way journalists have written about facebook and youtube.
like its just so frustrating. the entire website is not all just for fandom. there are sitewide problems that have nothing to do with fandom. the way these problems are being addressed currently is fucking over people who make a living from adult content with adults for adults only and it has nothing, i mean nothing, to do with fandom. any crossover is because everyone on the website is being affected by their terrible algorithm lmao not bc fandom is being targeted.
I know there’s a lot of tension after Tumblr’s new policy annouced for December 17th, but reblog this if you aren’t leaving Tumblr so that other blogs can know they aren’t going to be completely alone!
Listen, we made it through the election of 2016, we can make it through a tumblr purge. I’ll be hear eating popcorn and enjoying the panic.
No way I’m quitting this, I’ve always been a silent member of lokisarmy on Tumblr and nothing is going to change that. Unless someone will start talking to me. No more silent but still here.

Get your infinite food exploit out of here you cheater. People like you ruin the survival horror experience.
I use Safe Mode and filter out NSFW, but I have still gotten unasked-for
erect dicks and other private parts stuffed in my face every so often.
Too many users aren’t considerate enough to go to the trouble and tag
their shit. And, that “explicit” button doesn’t do shit if you want to
look at their site or their archive.
