PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation
tl;dr: claims that the guardian's Susanna Rustin is writing a piece on diy hrt and contacting trans people for comment is false.
on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:
today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.
it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.
but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.
the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.
you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!

I am speechless.
My post about hateful AO3 spam comment bots is barely 2 days old and then I find this in my inbox.
I'm pretty sure this too is a bot, but just in case there's any sort of human being involved in this: I am not interested and do not consent to any of my works being made into NFTs or, while I'm at it, fed into shitty AIs or anything of this sort. If any of you use my works for such purposes, you are doing so against my explicit wishes and without my consent that you need in order for it to be legal. You have been warned.
To my fellow fan creators: Do not respond to such messages. Report, block, delete.
NFTs have been a complete and utter failure, and many people have lost tons of money - a truth that even the most deluded optimistic NFT fans have had to accept. If you need further information on this, I recommend this video by Folding Ideas on YouTube.

hot take but “kill all men” and similar proclamations that all men are evil and inherently bad is not feminist and is only making things worse, pushing men to become like Andrew Tate. it is also removing accountability from men who are actually bad; “you can’t get mad at me, it’s in my nature!”
you are not helping anyone. not yourself, not women, not men. you are just hurting actual good people while the people you are trying to hurt are enabled. you are not turning people away from misogyny, you are pushing them towards it.
hating all men is not cool. it is not feminist. no issue is solved by simply reversing who is being affected.

I'm trying to post more often! Both here, and stuff in progress on Patreon, bc I realized I am constantly working on something anyway and there's lots of stuff just hiding in sketchbooks forever otherwise
SO!! I have no plans to paywall any finished stuff, but if you're interested in a never-ending stream of whatever the hell I'm doodling that day, it shall now be chucked into my $2 tier, over here
Here's a little sliver of an Umami piece I'm picking at, having a normal one
#art#doodle#psa#ocs#umami#oddside#i also have some ideas for stickers in a lower tier but I may need to hit a certain threshold of income first#my patreon basically goes entirely to rent as it is rn#BUT EVENTUALLY..IMAGINE...Little stickers to go with my Big stickers :D

⋆ ˚｡⋆𐙚˚ PSA
hi guys.
as most of you probably know, i’ve been dealing with quite a few…comments from some anons. this whole situation has been weighing HEAVILY on me and is starting to affect my day to day life as well as my mental, physical, and emotional health.
and that is where i draw the line.
this is something i do in my free time for quite literally shits and giggles. and it should not be a stressor in my already stressful life.
so, after the event, i’ll be taking like a three day break. no logging in, no answering asks, no nothing. i’m outta this bitch frfr
this also means i’m gonna push out opening my inbox bc i don’t want it to be flooded while i’m trying to heal my mental health lmao.
SO
INBOX OPENS MAY 14TH AND ANY REQUEST SENT IN (not related to the event) WILL BE DELETED.
this is not what i wanted at all, but ig you shitty ass anons win. congrats, here’s your gold fucking star.
are you proud of yourself? are you?
ANYWAYS love yall and im super excited to keep working on my event and could not thank you all enough for your continued support.
i love you guys so much!! please know this isn’t what i wanted but it’s what’s best for me 😌🫶

Accessibility within the RPC
How we can make it a better place for everyone. These tips are coming from a accessibility educator and web tester. It's not comprehensive, but meant to give you a crash course. Especially on the most common RPC trends.
General
The more you deviate from standard English writing, the more people are going to be less likely to be able to read and interact with you. People with disabilities, neuro-divergence, or even normal people whose time is limited will be effected with each deviation.
While tools exist to make these things easier to curate someone's experience, their functionality is limited. The large majority of them work by modifying standard English sentence structure. They tend to break or not function properly otherwise.
Some screenreaders for example struggle with all lowercase/uppercase text, double/multi spacing between words, lack of punctuation, etc. They will end up reading the text back in very odd ways.
Color can be make it difficult as well. The themes on Tumblr are varied. Your writing partner could be using these theme and your colored text is nearly impossible to read because of their theme. There are also color contrast issues for people with varying degrees of color blindness.
Accessibility is not one size fits all. Talk with your writing partners about their specific needs.
Tips for a more accessible blog and replies
Look for themes / carrds that are W3G compliant.
Don't use all lowercase text in your replies ( lapslock ).
Don't use all uppercase text outside of well-known acronyms.
Don't put multiple spaces between your words.
Use punctuation in your sentences.
Don't use color in your blog's text.
Use themes / carrds that say what the button/link is for. I, II, III, IV don't really give an indication of what's there. List it out: Rules, Muses, Connections, etc.
Make sure your theme uses at least 16px font sizing. Tumblr's post small font is 13px which is below the standard. The regular font however fits.
Don't make important links or link context like text appear on hover. A mobile device can't see it. Someone who is keyboard only can't either.
Again this isn't comprehensive, but it will give you a start. This is to help be more inclusive with your replies and blogs. This isn't to shame anyone for their aesthetics, but to point out things we can all do to make the RPC more accessible.
What if I like my aesthetics and don't want to change?
That's fine. Just understand it means fewer people can read, process, or comprehend your writing. Better yet if you don't want to switch and instead compromise? Make it very clear in either your rules, pinned post, carrd, etc that you will absolutely switch to regular formatting upon request.
This will help bridge the gap that people with fewer spoons to reach out over this will feel more comfortable doing so.
At the end of the day when we make our replies and RP blogs accessible for those who need it, we make it more accessible for everyone.

Hey.
Don't do this. Don't anon and send a link. Immediate block. (Obvs you were being malicious so you don't care.)

Be careful what you click out there. People want to steal your shit or infect you. I am not looking to get .//hacked here. Kthx bye.

It's okay to feel disappointment
It's true that there's nothing to be ashamed of if you take longer than other people to graduate college, or wait until you're older to get married or have kids. It's true that it's okay you're not seeing anyone or you didn't get the job you wanted
But it's also okay to take a moment and feel disappointment if things haven't gone the way you thought they would

I’m gonna be offline for the next twelve hours, as I am travelling. I have been notified of more shit flying around, but I do not have time to deal with it.
The things we HAVE said and done we've already apologised for, in public and/or in private. The things we have not... are categorically untrue, and wildly dishonest. That is all that needs to be said at this point. The attempt to 'hit back' is truly embarrassing.
Please reach out to @em-writes-stuff-sometimes if you need any further clarity. I will be online again once I am back in the UK 💕

Alright, a little formal PSA is needed. So, as a lot of you may know and/or have realized, I've bitten off more than I can chew. I've gotten a little over my head with threads and thinking I can handle it because I want to roleplay with everyone - however, it's becoming a bit much ... I'm not dropping anything unless the thread hasn't been responded to in a month, the respondent hasn't been on in over +2-3 weeks, I don't have any muse for the thread anymore or it's key to my Lucifer's story.
I already dropped a few for my sake, for the time being. It'll probably be a bit before I do a starter call again, but don't let that deter or stop you from making me a starter or if you ever want to pick up the thread again! I tag everyone's urls ( new & old ) in threads so you can always look back up if we had one before! It never hurts to hit me up or ask!
With that, I hope this is understandable and I will try ( if sadness doesn't hit me late at night ) after my kiddo goes to bed tonight to start more on my drafts. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🥺❤️👑
