everyone is embarrassed of their fourteen year old self trust me if you’re fourteen right now you will regret whatever it is that you are doing at this moment
What, being a SuperWhoLockian, Tumblrian, and just being generally pretty good? I don’t think so.
screenshot this and look at it in 3 years
Wow holy shit guys, it’s been approximately 5 years and I’m drunk enough to not regret finally acknowledging this Surprise surprise, I was that kid I know the above is the most cringy 14 year old thing to say, but hot damn y’all I was a child and I had just found an online community of people where being a fucking nerd was “hella cool” and oh my god I was having a blast, and with my new fragile self confidence I decided to say “no I don’t regret what I’m doing/what I like right now at this moment because I don’t hate myself and that’s pretty neat!” And y’all remember 2012-2013 tumblr that shit was absolutely cringy, I was just repeating phrases I’d heard. But then, it got turned into a “laugh at the child” and then I got dozens upon dozens of hate messages and my confidence about literally everything got shattered I had messages telling me to kill myself and messages calling me a snowflake and an idiot and a c*nt and all those other words that are meant to hurt you. Even years after I changed my URL, I’d get a sinking pit in my stomach whenever I’d see this post go around again because I knew I’d get those three or four snide anons asking “so do you regret it?” And yes I absolutely do, fuck off So yeah, I was a stupid tumblr kid and probably shouldn’t have commented But I didn’t deserve the onslaught of hateful messages So now y’all know, it’s me Surprise, or whatever
hello! I’m sorry for dragging you through the mud in the first place. seventeen-year-old me was not as evolved as she thought, which I’m sure is a surprise to no one. there were absolutely tons of comments exactly like yours, but it got singled out just because I was going through a sarcastically-responds-to-comments phase and I happened to see it. I’ve heard people use this post as an example of how young teens are stupid & don’t know anything, and I’m sorry that you became the poster child of that patronizing and invalidating idea.
sidenote, who the FUCK calls a 14 yr old a c*nt & tells them to kill themselves??
Thank you for commenting, op ❤ I really don’t blame you at all for what you said, I want to call out my 14 year old self just as badly lmao But I really appreciate the overwhelming positive response to this I’d hope we can sort of grow as a community from this, but I won’t get my hopes up lol
Holy shit this went so much better than I expected.
seeing someone’s work on ao3 after seeing their username on tumblr is like seeing your friend dressed up in formalwear when 2 hours ago they were eating pizza in their sweats on your couch
and then when you see a writer who you know mainly from ao3 on tumblr it’s like running into the local news anchor at the grocery store
you know who they are but they’ve never seen you before
She reblogged the post I did about Millennials and self-esteem – I think it was actually for the commentary that others had added, but I’ll take the free publicity 😀
Can I have your attention for a minute? I feel like I have an important(ish?) thing to bring up here.
Y’all know that all too familiar feeling when scrolling along here that you feel like everyone is the same age?
That’s not the case. And it can be a dangerous mindset.
Just a friendly -scary- reminder that I’m actually a grown ass adult, turning 21 in a month or so. And whilst my intentions are not predatory in the least, I want everyone to feel safe in thier online environment.
If y’all don’t want me, a grown ass adult to be following you; that is okay. This is supposed to be your safe space.
Please know that its okay if y’all wanna ask me politely to unfollow. I won’t be offended- I am completely aware of the age gap and I want y’all to feel comfortable.
And to my fellow older peeps- if you get offended when a 13-15ish person asks you to hit unfollow? Y’all should probably ask yourselves why that is the case. These are kids we’re talking about. We should want them to feel safe.
Aight. With that out of the way, feel free to go on your merry way.
It’s important to add: you don’t have to ask politely. Just ask. Or block, whatever works best for you. It’s not a minor’s job to coddle their adult followers. Not at all.
I hate how on Tumblr, a username like lisa486 is almost certainly a pornblot, while someone named solidsnakesasscheeks is almost certainly a real person
So if a porn bot reblogs and puts a link to your selfies you can do this
SO IF A PORN BOT PUTS A LINK TO A PORN SITE/VIRUS YOU CAN FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO HAVE IT REMOVED. ALSO IF ANY REMOVES THE ORIGINAL CAPTION OF YOUR POST TO BOOST THEIR BLOG YOU CAN REPORT THEM (AND GET THEM REMOVED) TOO.
YOU CAN ALSO FILE A DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) AGAINST THEM TOO. http://tumblr.com/dmca
WHY DOESN’T THIS HAVE MORE NOTES?
Because my face has appeared twice now 🙄
This is still happening, so a reblog for those who need it
It’s so sad how many notes this has, it shows just how bad this problem is. This is the exact reason it took me so long to post any personal photos. Within the first 5 minutes of posting my first personal photo, I had to do this.
@hate-police – I think this might help you w/ what we talked about b4?? ❤
