RE: trigger warnings

answer: no

1: a trigger is subjective
2: pointless for anyone reading from the blog because text comes after the image anyway

if you don’t like it unfollow and/or block from appearing — it’s that simple

And Queersecrets shows yet again that they’re unwilling to actually consider the feelings of anybody.

Things like this remind me why I’m not following @queersecrets.

I was following @queersecrets for awhile, but I quit out on that. One of the better decisions I’ve made recently.

Nice going, Queersecrets.  This just adds to my vindication in not following any -secrets project.  I find them at best voyeuristic, at worst catty.  Having been recently reminded of how important trigger warnings are (THANK YOU author who didn’t think to put them on!), I shall restrain myself from going “fuck you.”
