Some sources about the British gay slang of Polari:
“How gay men used to speak - A short film in Polari”
“A brief history of Polari: the curious after-life of the dead language for gay men”
“Polari: The code language gay men used to survive”
“Polari, a vibrant language born out of prejudice”
The Polari Bible

This is glorious and even thought it doesn’t fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share
It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you’re in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don’t reply back when it checks your status, it’ll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.
It doesn’t require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn’t need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.
MORE INFORMATION
I see that I’ve lost followers today. That’s okay by me. If my blog offends or upsets you, feel free to unfollow me. I used to say pre-Trump era that I didn’t talk politics with people. I didn’t want to offend anyone. But you know what? My conscience will not let me be silent. This is my blog. It is anti-Trump. It’s anti-racism. It’s anti-misogyny. It’s anti-judging anyone for their body size or religion or sexual preferences or preferred pronouns. It’s feminist as fuck. It’s pro- everybody deserves the same damn rights & privileges as the next person. To be honest, if you’re silent on or in agreement with what’s going on in this country right now, we are not & will not be kindred spirits. I try very hard not to judge others, but on this, I am judging & taking the measure of your character very hard. So unfollow if you need to.
I love this movie so much, I just want to watch it with someone rn 😩

Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
Please do tell me! I love hearing about other’s passions!
Someone: oh there’s this show I’m watching... oh, nevermind, it’s silly you probably don’t wanna hear about it
Me, knowing fully well how much it sucks to have your passions invalidated and how cool it is to rant about something you love:
Love these, my favorites are, in no particular order:
Little one
Kitten
Princess

yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.
like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.
but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.
and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.
PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.
REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you
