I think people underestimate the power of tumblr. The amount of information that is being sent around that can quickly go viral is a great tool to use for people trying to get the word out on anything they want. So for people to just dismiss an opinion just because they first heard it on tumblr is well quite frankly, idiotic.

tumblr does for social justice what peta does for animal rights

this is seriously the best analogy ever

Okay, can I say something from experience here?

When I first joined tumblr I literally knew NOTHING about racism, or cissexism, or transmisgyonny even. I’m a white kid who grew up in a mostly all white town and believed that while racism still existed it was mostly gone in the world and wasn’t that big of a deal any more. I had no idea what cissexism even was or what transmisgyony was EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRANS because I’m a trans* male for once so I never experienced it and I had INTERNALIZED so much cissexism and transphobia into my own brain that I seriously didn’t think it was that much of a big deal.

You know what changed my mind about all these things? Tumblr. I followed people who were from other countries, cultures, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, etc. Through their blogs I got to learn about how they experienced the world differently and while I will NEVER understand what it’s like to be a person of color or a trans* woman I HAVE learned what privilege is and in what ways I had it. I learned that certain things I had been saying/doing were actually racist or homophobic or transmisgyonistic. NOT to mention that I learned about things that I hadn’t even thought about like fat shaming and rape culture. That’s right, before Tumblr I had NO idea what rape culture even was and I learned that things I had been saying were actually contributing to it.

You know what I also learned about through these so-called “social justice blogs”? HISTORY. I learned about history that wasn’t filtered through the white-washed lens of a history text book. I learned that there were in fact people of color in Europe back in Mozart’s day, that there were women pilots in Russia who helped bomb the Germans in WWII, how the oppression of the indigenous people of Australia breaks almost every law of the Geneva convention, and that -HOLY SHIT- Africa actually is made up of many countries which have internet„ clothing, water, and a middle class!

I was ignorant before Tumblr, disgustingly so, and even though I know that I’m still VERY ignorant when it comes to the world I’m learning, and MOST of my learning is done through Tumblr because here people who don’t normally have a voice are able to make posts and have other people who don’t experience the same things they do SEE them, and if those people choose to (and they SHOULD choose to) then they can LEARN from the posts they see and become a better person.

“Social justice” Tumblr helped ME PERSONALLY become a better person. So go on, say that people blogging about their oppression doens’t teach anyone anything. I fucking dare you.

Also, PETA is horribly sexist, classist, cissexist, racist, and ableist, and comparing a community of largely marginalized people who are hurt by PETA’s actions to PETA is a really really shitty thing to do.

Like my favorite part of the job (besides the gossip) is when people get really angry with me when I state that we don’t have a “list”. One women threatened to call the FCC and report me, and I had this response to give her:

“Oh ma’am…. Ma’am, let me stop you right there, that doesn’t apply to us. That only applies to people who are selling stuff. We are not selling anything, so yeah you can try if you want, but you’ll be disappointed. Obviously you don’t want to do this wonderful survey, so like I’m going to say goodbye and hangup. Goodbye.”

Everyone was dying, but my supervisor told me I should have like tried to get that survey. Girl had me fucked up if she thought I was going to work with a belligerent women like that. I aint on commission.

Peep this insider tip about surveys over the phone

Sat, 25 May 2013 00:24:24 -0400

The Do Not Call List doesn’t apply to people who are giving out surveys on the phone. That only applies to telemarketers.

Some call centers who are feeling the pressure from clients to perform well on a project will keep calling you even after you hang up on them.

SOO you need to state that you do not want to participate in the survey for us to stop calling you ON THAT PARTICULAR SURVEY or else we will keep calling you.
