many people were confused about some of my previous posts, so for the sake of clarity i am condensing everything! tumblr has extremely transphobic moderation practices, often flagging completely innocent posts as explicit, solely for containing trans women in them or mentioning transgenderism. while letting untagged porn in sfw tags (ive literally seen porn tagged as "sfw agere") and blatent hatespeech, especially twards trans people (just look at the "gender critical" tag) go completely unchecked recently the CEO of tumblr had a big public hissyfit about people (rightfully) calling him transmysogenistic, going into random trans womens dms to harrass them, and saying that predstrogen saying she "hopes he explodes with hammers and then explodes again and hammers fly everywhere" is a death threat and saying he is calling the FBI on her (repeatedly misgendering her and calling her "it") and many bloggers, apon speaking out about it or even making harmless jokes (one trans woman posted a picture of a car and a hammer with the caption "reblog to scare matt" and got nuked for it) and many are very very angry (rightfully) about this whole affair and tumblr in general. if you would like to look into it i reccomend scrolling the "predstrogen" tag as she is the case most people are talking about at the moment. So, what can we do? this is clearly an ongoing issue, and, dispite having lost a lawsuit about their transphobic moderation in the past (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement) its clearly not gonna stop with just user complaints, as staff members are perfectly content to just go scorched earth on users who even so much as lightly poke fun at them well if you want to help you should contact the human rights commision (i will give clear details further down) ! you dont have to be in the US, nor be an adult to file, and it only takes a few minutes. this is the best and most effective method to fix this, because it hits tumblr where it hurts. human rights acencies have a lot of legal and financial power and tumblr CAN NOT just ignore them, and given that this will be the seccond time this is happening, the commisions shouldnt be playing nice anymore eaither. its really important that AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE FILE, and with different examples! while maybe your case might not be enough to prop up a lawsuit on its own, we need to prove a general trend. so every little bit counts! to respond to another question abt this ive gotten, as for what exactly to report, you should a) write about an act of discrimination youve recieved on tumblr that was eaither administered by a staff member OR that staff refused to give adequate moderation action in for example : a terf posted some blatent hatespeech targeted twards you, and you reported them, and staff looked at the issue and refused to persecute it. example 2 : you were unfairly flagged, deleted, or otherwise punished by a staff member and you are queer ( AND the post they banned you for has some kind of tie to your gender, ex : a sfw transition progress photo ) OR b) if you have not personally recieved something like that, please look for other peoples stories (THEY SHOULDNT BE HARD TO FIND, within the last couple of hours trans people have been being banned LEFT AND RIGHT for trying to speak on this. i would reccomend checking some of the tags related to what happened with predstrogen) and you should describe that incident as best as possible (be sure to disclose that you are speaking for someone else, ideally you should tell the story of someone you know, if possible.) you can also mention any reports you have made twards people posting blatent hatespeech that, opon reveiwing tumblr refused to prosecute dispite it being very obviously against terms of service. just so nobody gets confused about the filing process, im laying it out in more plain languadge!!

first you should email the SF HRC (san francisco human rights commision), at [email protected] and say something along these lines :

Hello, I am [full name] from [country or state] and I am filing a complaint against Tumblr, witch is owned by the parent company Automattic Inc. located at 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110.

Tumblr has had previous issues with the NYC DHR for their moderation being unfairly biased against trans women (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement).

Despite a legally binding agreement with the NYC DHR, staff members still regularly harrass users based on their gender or sexual orientations. For example : on [date of most recent infraction] [describe incident] (if you are describing an incident that did not happen to you specifically, say something like) This incident involves the user [username] who I am not affiliated with (or/) who I am filing on behalf of.

I can be reached for further inquiries about this incident at [email you want to talk over] or [phone number you want to talk over]. (if you would like to be anonymous) However, In the event of legal prosecution against Automattic I would refer to be kept anonymous, where possible, in court proceedings. alternatively, you can also call the SF HRC at : 415-252-2500, you can use the above text as a starting point for this as well, next you want to fill out the form for the NYC DHR (new york city department of human rights) here : https://www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page for company you wanna put : Automattic and/or Tumblr for address you wanna put : 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003 for phone number you wanna put : [phone] and for category of discrimination you can put : Discriminatory harassment and basis of discrimination you can put : Gender; Gender identity you can then use a similar script on the written section of the form. when describing a specific incident, you should attach as many screenshots and links as possible! (for links, include both a live link and an archival link, so take a capture with the internet archive and have that as an alternative, incase a staff member gets petty.) this should only take a few minutes at most, and it helps alot! you can fill this out if you are a minor, and you dont have to be a us resident, please please take the time!!! and, just to clarify because there are many posts going around that are confused about this tumblr moved offices to san francisco recently, so their main HQ is at : 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110 they DO still have an office in new york city, and thats where their PREVIOUS HQ was, the address is : 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003

Jesus could walk on water like that because he was actually one of those pooltoy furries. The church doesn't want you to know this. Because of woke.

You are a god. A young one perhaps, but in an age like this that little matters. You are a god, a being so intrinsically tied to the breath of the world that birthed you that her beating heart is like your own. You have seen mortals come and go, their lifetimes passing for you like a brief autumn breeze, you have watch empires claw their way out of the rubble of their forefathers and return once more to dust. You are a god, and that means that eternity should lie before you.

At least, it would've, had you not become hungry.

See, you are a god. And you are hungry. And these two things aren't meant to coincide.

(But this cannot be your fault, you think. Hunger is not a part of your nature, it is simply the price of your birth. See, when your mother world welcomed Death, his hunger changed her. It brought safety and balance, but you have never cared for either. Death brought her hunger, and so you blame Death for the way your heart aches.)

A hungry god is a reckless god. A brutal, desperate god. A god that turns on its nature to preserve and protect, that ceases to give so it instead can take and take and take.

You are hungry. You take and take and take.

Your foremother no longer speaks to you. See, she is afraid of you now, afraid of the thing you are becoming. She is far older than you, old enough to know better. (And yet her domain still infuses your own. How could it not, you suppose— how could the God of pirates exist without the sea? You pretend not to notice her ocean's newfound indifference, nor the way the waves that once cradled you seem set to swallow you whole).

You are a lonely, hungry thing, and you take and take and take. Those who follow you do not do so out of pride anymore. The worship that feeds you is done now out of fear. It changes you, this terror. It makes you something cruel. (This is the price of feeding your hunger, the stake of a god. To be worshiped is to become infected by belief. It does not matter what you mightve been, what heart may have still thudded in your chest. Your followers believe you to have a heart as cold as steel, and prayer by prayer their thoughts become truth).

You are a god and you are lonely. You take and take and take.

Someday the aching will ease and the blood beneath my nails will dry, and I will finally be able to pretend I have not been wearing the corpse of my youth like a funeral shroud, nestled in the ashes of the pyre.

You know what they say about witches, how people will find a space to house the blame.

(I housed it in my body, in the shell of a child who died with their father. How guilt and shame make heavy, hollow hearts)

I am trying now to pour the bile out of me, to empty my pockets and mind of the words you said. I don't want to carry the weight any longer, let me shed this shroud, this second solemn skin. Let me leave behind this bed of embers, there are gentler ways to find warmth.

(There are arms that hold me as if I am something holy and a love that sees what I am. No church has brought me such peace as this; so tell me, is love not religion?)

I will flee this smokey memory for a kinder place to sleep. Teach my darkened lungs to breathe,

I rise no longer burning from these embers.

hey @staff do u mind explaining why my post explaining how people can contact the NYC DHR if they have experienced discrimination from staff members on your website is inaccessable when you try to click to see the original post? when none of my other posts do so? because i know this isnt my internet. and i would like to know more details so i can forward them to the commision themself, as censoring or punishing users for posting publically available legal information about how to deal with harrassment is very blatently a violation. would appreciate more info :) thanks

I wish I lived in a world that wanted me.

Like, a world that wanted me to live in it, that wanted people like me to stay alive in it.

I've been burnt out for three years, and some days waking up feels less like living and more like dreaming. I try to explain to my mother that, at this rate, I will not survive college. I am running on fumes, I tell her, and someday soon there will be nothing left in me to save. She does not understand, simply asks why I cannot do as I have done every day for the last 20 years and move forward. I do not know how to explain that in high-school the engines of my mind caught fire, and nobody cared to repair them. That I have been pushing these shaking limbs forward with my fading will for two years. That if I do not find rest, she will bury me alongside my father.

She tells me this is how the world is. I spit back, why? Tell me why it must be this way.

Why must it be this way?

Why must I struggle every day to survive? I am tired, I tell her, I am sick. I cannot walk forever in the desert repenting for the sin of being born unwanted, I cannot survive while begging on my knees for the rest of my life.

You were healthy once, she says. As if that means I'd be well forever. You walked farther before.

I want to scream, I want to sob, I want to take the bandages off of my feet and wail, yes, and look what it got me. Instead I sit silent, knowing not how to make her understand she is digging my grave with her open hands.

I look into the world through the window to avoid her gaze, and I see it burning. She asks if I've considered getting a job.

I do not think a job could save me.
