“using they/them pronouns are default and not misgendering”
they/them pronouns are used when you don’t know a persons pronouns, that’s correct. but when someone tells you not to use they/them pronouns but you continue to do so, you are misgendering them. there are no ands ifs and or buts when it comes to this.
you. are. misgendering them.

bad at math/science: you must be stupid
DO NOT USE .CO .VU
Please for the love of all that is holy DO NOT USE THIS TO PERSONALIZE YOUR TUMBLR. It’s covered in adware and every single time I click onto someone’s tumblr who has it I have to run my spybot and then it catches a bunch of stuff and in one case one of these addresses downloaded an adware program onto my computer that prevented me from hitting back on my browser and had loud popup ads now and then and annoying blue hyperlinks everywhere. It took several hours of my time to remove the darn thing from my computer completely.
“But I can have a cool personalized name with .co .vu!” Yeah, you know why? Because most people don’t use it so names aren’t taken. Why?
Because it’s covered in adware and spyware.
If you respect your followers AT ALL do not use this. Please.
This is actually a really fascinating scam.
So, you know how how “co.[country abbreviation]” is commonly used to signify that a site is from some country? For example, “amazon.co.jp” is the Japanese version of Amazon dot com.
The people selling “co.vu” sites want you to think that that’s what’s going on–that you’re getting nice good web addresses from Vanuatu.
But what’s actually happening is that they publish your sites as a subdomain of a site called “co” that is in Vanuatu.
In other words:
In the url “http://amielleon.tumblr.com”, “amielleon” is the subdomain, “tumblr” is the actual site, and “com” tells me that it’s a commercial site and probably from America.
In the url “http://mytrashyotp.co.vu”, “mytrashyotp” is the subdomain, “co” is the actual site, and “vu” indicates it’s from Vanuatu. But they WANT you to think that “mytrashyotp” is the site, and “co.vu” indicates that it’s a commercial site from Vanuatu.
What are they getting out of this? The ability to throw shit on top of your blog (like adware) and also leech off your content for search engine rankings.

why the hell am i putting so much effort into the school part of this artwork
ok so we’ve all seen that post about how the avengers would react to a creeper hitting on a girl in a bar
but imagine how the harry potter characters would react
- harry would quickly slide in, using his “boy who lived famous 5ever” status to distract the creep, giving the girl a chance to slip away
- ron would just walk up and be like “oi what the hell is your problem” because fuck it he was no tact
- hermione would either calmly tell the guy to leave and invite the girl to sit with her or go BALLISTIC and hex him depending on her mood
- ginny would just hex him
- luna would start talking about nargles or some shit and scare the guy off
- neville would approach the guy, a bit nervous, and politely but firmly tell him to back off
- dean and seamus would start making out to make the guy uncomfortable and make him go away
- so would james and sirius, i guarantee it
- lily would OWN that motherfucker verbally and we all know it
- hagrid would just loom over the guy and just glare until he left
- mcgonagall would turn into a cat and yowl in his face really loudly
- remus would tell him to leave and if that didn’t work, after three warnings, he’d step aside so lily could hex him
- fleur would distract the guy, get him to hit on her instead, and then slam that motherfucker’s forehead into the table while bill cheered in the background
- bill would start hitting on the guy in an equally creepy fashion
- mclaggen… was probably the guy tbh
