Hey everyone following me! Just a heads up, I got a new device! But due to my absolute stupidity and lack of patience, destiny has made it so that I can't get on this account with the new device.

So, this account will not be active anymore. You will not see any updates/new reblogs on this account.

If you still want to hang out and share content with me, you can look up my new account!!

Look up calminggoat4u and we can continue to exist together!!

Until then, it was absolutely amazing to experience everything with you guys, and I'm gonna miss this blog.

- Bye guys!!!

Resources for Depicting Trans Women!

This is one of my most frequent asks (followed by how to depict trans men, but that merits its own post.) As such, I wanted to hand pass the mic to trans women with a masterpost! 

A disclaimer: many of the resources included below apply to trans people of all genders, but all are from trans women, and apply primarily to trans women. 

Happy writing, everybody!

I don’t know what to fucking say anymore.

I’m tired. I’m hurt. I’m sad. And angry, like, really FUCKING angry.

They were children, they were only kids. And they found 215 of their corpses buried near those goddamn schools. It shouldn’t even be called a school.

As an indigenous person, this is fucking heartbreaking. But it’s not like it’s new. Shit like this has been happening and will continue happen unless we do something about it.

Sign a petition

Support indigenous artists/creators/actors

Educate yourself on residential schools and the generational trauma that we endure

Just PLEASE for the love of god talk about this.

We can’t keep letting shit like this slide. That was only one school where they found those kids. Imagine how many more have mass graves on the premises. This isn’t just “a dark chapter in our country’s history” this was and still is the whole fucking book. There are people in my community who have lived through the horrors of residential schools and many more that live with the trauma it brought.

The link below me is a petition to call for a national day of mourning for the kids who didn’t make it home to their families.

Please sign and share it. Remember these kids and the horrors they went through because we should NEVER forget this atrocity.

Hello please reblog this if you're okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

I’m just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got it’s 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

Here we go! The Qian Qiu/Thousand Autumns finale and the extras!

Like I said before, I set out to edit the mtl for the last chunk of Qian Qiu/Thousand Autumns, and then was overcome with excitement and went on to do all the extras too. I have no Chinese of my own, so I really, truly cannot guarantee any accuracy or consistency with the other translators, because there are like twenty of them. But hey, it’s better than raw mtl. And this content… tastey. I don’t care what anyone does with this material, just please don’t go saying that you were the one who went to beat your own head against a brick mtl wall. I do like to receive credit for my own stupid decisions.

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life.

Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.
