tumblrs being transphobic, with the ceo himself starting an actual harassment campaign against a transfem & also banning transfems who post abt it.

Oh shit, I had not heard about that.

I would like to say I don’t understand why this shit keeps happening, but I actually do understand it way too well. It just makes me so sad and angry. Especially on a site where people find and make their communities.

So much of this is about ego, and the people with power wielding that power to protect themselves and failing to protect others with it. A mere hint of negative sentiment towards them is harassment that is dealt with immediately and harshly, but a dozen complaints about discrimination or threats or bullying take ages to process and frequently come to unsatisfactory moderation decisions.

Whatever the sentiments of the people running this hellsite, you are always welcome in my corner of the internet, wherever you find it. You are all wonderful, and we all deserve to feel that part of this space belongs to us and those to whom we can connect.

Transphobia has no place on tumblr, period. Or anywhere else in society for that matter. It is that which should be being rooted out.

#this is not related to herpetology #except that it is #because trans rights as well as those of every other member of LGBTQ+ affect every field #every fandom #every one #this is the first time ever I have written out a long tag rant and decided it needed to go into the main body of the post instead #meaning I had to type the whole thing again because you cannot easily copy and paste large numbers of tags #But I think it is important to see the full message from the start #rather than relying on someone else to screencap it #which I always appreciate #but not everyone always sees #anyway I am sorry especially to those in the community who are trans and who feel this most acutely #I stand with you #and I think the bulk of the community here does too #and that voice is something the leaders need to listen to #virtue signalling is not enough #actions speak louder than words #okay real tags now for searchability purposes: #about me #tumblr #trans issues #transphobia #transgender

The great reddit blackout is happening today to protest reddits plan to charge third party apps outrageous prices to continue to make reddit accessible to people with disabilities and those who moderate large subs for free using bots to keep the communities safe and free from hate. Some threads are going dark until the 14th, some till the end of the month when it's officially decided whether the increased prices will go through, and some are going dark forever.

Don't let corporate greed win. Stand with your community, stand with your disabled friends, stand with those who create a space for those who have none and don't let them fall

#reddit blackout #reddit #we can resist the future they want for us #community #disability #blind #sight impaired #moderators #disabled community #resist #i stand with you #the world is built on the people who run things for passion not greed

Hi cris

You being a historian I wonder what's your opinion about israel and palestine. You don't need to answer if you don't want

I stand with Palestinians

I believe that any person, regardless of their profession, can read on the topics and comprehend that there are nuances to every conflict. I will not speak over the voices of palestinians and jews who are commenting on this topic. As a communist and historian, I can give your other people's words:

Against the loveless world by Susan Abulhawa

This story was one of the first books about the topic I read, it will sure cause a big impact on your opinions.

Freedom is a constant struggle by Angela Yvonne Davis

My sweet, sweet Angela. I highly suggest that people from the US read this ASAP. It is a very very interesting discourse that she brings about US history.

The Hundred Years' war on Palestine: a history of settler colonialism and resistance (1917-2017) by Rashid Khalidi

A difficult read for many reasons, it is academic but also brutally painful to read. It is a really good insight on the entire history.

Palestinian Identity by Rashid Khalidi

Good for those who wish to know more about what Palestine is and why they deserve their right to exist as people.

Honorable mentions: I have not read those, but they were reccommended to me by a fellow historian:

1. Palestine by Joe Sacco

2. A land with a people by Esther Farmer, Rosalind Pollack and Sarah Sills

3. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe

4. The question of Palestine by Edward W Said

Every time I think "Oh you know things are going pretty well with my Dad maybe he's not so bad..." he does something to remind me that he's still a shitty fucking father.

And this is why I defend Zeus as hard as I do because the only times in my life I have ever known what its like not to have an asshole for a father is when I've been in Zeus' presence.

#Ill probably regret getting so personal and kind of dark here and delete anyway #But I'm just so fucking mad right now #to anyone who has been emotionally and mentally abused and gaslit and dismissed pls know you will always be safe here #I see you #I get you #I feel you #I stand with you #The path we walk is fucking hell and completely unfair

Roe vs Wade is huge news, even up here in Canada. I feel for all the American citizens with female reproductive systems that have had basic human rights taken away from them. I don’t like posting anything political on here, like ever, but my heart is breaking for all of the women in America who are scared, angry and anxious right now. I can’t imagine and my heart is breaking for you all.

#I stand with you #my government is appalled #and I think a lot of other counties leaders are too #I hope I’m not overstepping my bounds by saying this

[eosofspades]

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

#oh the experience of being 13 years old and seeing all my friends talking about wanting to have sex and obsessing over it #and being like 'we are all literally WAY too young to be having sex what the actual fuck are you talking about #why are you even considering it when we have much more important things to worry about. like how much middle school sucks' #you know what though. i still stand by this. that was an entirely reasonable thought to have and i WAS being normal about it #anyway #mine #asexuality

[angelboybreakdowns]

high school teacher voice hello neurodivergent openly queer kid everyone sees as weird. you need to select a partner for this group pr- what do you mean everyone partnered up already? what do you mean youre the only one left without a partner? well i guess i have no choice but to force you to walk up to a random set of friends and join their group while they ignore you for the entire class again

#‘why arent you participating 🤓’ idk maybe bc the ppl im grouped with ignore everything i say even if im standing directly in front of them? #/nav btw #rambling

[aropride]

i love cishets and their somewhat ugly pride merch that lets us know they're at least fairly safe to be around i'm serious. like genuinely being like 13 and seeing random adults at the store in black "love is love" shirts where every letter is a different pride flag and the whole thing clashes horribly was the most comforting thing.

#text #this is part of why i cant stand it when teenagers complain abt their parents getting them 'cringe' pride merch #like is it cringe MAYBE YEAH ! but at least they support you bro . at least they're trying . some of us dont get that

hey! for todays protest, i made this little zine about palestine (holding just simple and basic information).

you can download the zine here, fold it yourself, and distribute it around.

no credit is needed. feel free to leave it around bars, protests, or wherever. simply print it (borderless) and fold it. here is a tutorial on how to do it.

dont stay silent. there is a genocide of horrendous, atrocious proportions going on. also if you are a zionist here to argue with me, i dont plan to entertain you at all, not on my art blog. fuck off, you'll be swiftly blocked. i see enough of you clowns on my main and i have no energy for you. you can skip the death threats too bc i dont give a shit.

(i'm off to get ready for a surgery now, i just wanted to post it before this. if you need anything, i might take a bit to reply)

#free palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #anti zionisim #israel is a terrorist state #israel is an apartheid state #palestine resources #gaza #palestine #art #comics art #art zine #p.s. i usually put my socials on the end of my zines #i didnt do it here not bc i dont stand behind my words #but bc im not interested in self-promotion over palestinian dead bodies! #srsly you dont have to credit me i just hope this zine gets distributed #and as always do *not* sell this. #its a free resource based in what ive learnt from palestinians themselves #its not made for monetary or followers gain

Imagine actually being so evil that you'd rather make sure your writers suffer financially instead of just paying them the pay they deserve. Hell truly has some seats reserved already, holy shit.

crowley used the metal tool in season 1 to start time, and we learn that he's used it first to start space. to create the stars -- he still remembers how. he still remembers all of heaven's passwords: in the book crowley is described as an optimist because he has the "utter surety... that the universe would look after him". not god, but the universe. and of course he does: he helped create it and he's looking after it, too.

think about it: aziraphale had a sword, but crowley is about to face satan who wants to destroy the world, and crowley's only weapon is a tool of creation

#more importantly it's always been noted that his imagination #is why he stands out from the other demons #it was his imaginative questions that kicked him out of heaven #but it was also his imagination that was always his weapon #and his saving grace that got him out of scrapes #that kept his bentley together #and i just. crowley and creation akkdssdkf #he also still has a goddamn book about stars #do you understand #he didn't just keep the metal tool #he also keeps with him a book #about all the nebulae #he created #my edits #i'm still not okay #once again neil gaiman was insane for this #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers #good omens 2 spoilers #goodomensedit #tw: flashing gif #good omens meta #tw: flashing lights #tw: eyestrain

"love is in the air" wrong! that's the buildup of static electricity before the discharge of lightning. you'll want to seek cover. quickly
