idk who needs to hear this (me) but eating less will NOT make you feel better and you literally need food to be healthy and have energy
if you replace random letters in a word with numbers or symbols, this does not ‘protect people from being triggered’
if someone is triggered by the word ‘rape’, seeing ‘r@p3′ is not going to somehow evade their trauma responses and make them completely fine with the concept. they still know what fucking word that is.
you have done literally nothing except make your text annoying to look at, REALLY annoying to hear from a screenreader/text-to-speech program, and made it difficult-to-impossible for people who genuinely are For Real Triggered just by seeing certain words or concepts under discussion, no matter how vague, that they have to blacklist and avoid it, because now they have to try to guess every fucking homestuck 1337$P3@K ass alternate spelling you can come up with
please stop doing this. it is so stupid. think about it for three seconds and realize that seeing a word without the vowels in it is not going to prevent someone from comprehending the meaning of the word if the word itself is a trigger, and instead just use the fucking word so they can blacklist it. thank you. this has been a psa.
I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is
I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.
Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.
Here’s proof of what I mean:

For @nostalgiamonth‘s Tech/Objects Thursdays: Manual typewriters! Also know as: “You don’t realise how weak your fingers are until you try to type on one of these.” Nothing beats the sound of pounding keys and ratchetting the paper down into position and slamming the carriage across.
