Tumblr-Centric
Saturday, 28 November 2020 12:30 am(Relatedly, I have much to lament about nonbinary discourse so often taking place on Tumblr [1], and I think these are the consequences of that [2].)- From a recent comment thread on a post from before I appeared on the Pillowfort scene.
Yes, I found this from Coy's hitching post. I could probably comment on the post itself, but I'm more pulling this out in a 'maybe come back to this' sense. I have a draft that's been collecting some dust from earlier in 2020 called 'Reasons Why I’m (Jokingly) Disowned From Nonbinary Tumblr Spaces' because I didn't click with a section of nonbinary tumblr I tried looking into at one point. I'm not entirely sure it has actual relevance to Coy's original post or the comment thread discussion, but I've been trying to think of how to translate some old gender related posting into a 'hey, I should probably mention this on this new platform' post of some sort.
This post is a cross between 'that linked tumblr post is interesting' and a heads up that I might write about this sometime before 2020 ends.
Archival note: I did not, in fact, write about this before 2020 ended. Some of these links seem to be from publicly visible but rather personal posts, so I only have two archival links:
[1] How Using Tumblr is Undermining Your Community, archived Pillowfort post or WordPress post.
[2] Re: lack of a nonbinary community, archived Tumblr post.

Survey Venting
Tuesday, 28 July 2020 12:30 amOn the one hand, I would like to boost someone's survey, but on the other hand, I don't particularly feel comfortable boosting it without some disclaimers around question phrasing.
