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

1. Do you even know what a trigger warning is? Of course it’s subjective!!! Not everyone will be triggered  by something, and you don’t necessarily know if someone will be triggered by it or not. But, when you see something that, you know, is fairly obviously triggering, such as, you know A PHOTOGRAPH OF SELF-HARM, maybe you should consider that some people will be triggered by it. You could put “trigger warning: self-harm” or “trigger warning: discussion of rape” so that not to discourage people who will not be triggered from reading it.  If you legitimately didn’t know it would be triggering, apologize and change that.

2. You could put it in the title, or you could link to it. This is not an excuse. Figure something out.

3. How was I supposed to know that, scrolling though queersecrets, I would find A PHOTOGRAPH OF SELF-HARM?? How was I supposed to know that queersecrets was going to post something that would make me cry, hyperventilate, and throw up, something that’s probably going to keep me from getting a full-nights sleep for days. This is so disrespectful!
