I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms.
Leslie Feinberg on trans exclusion in feminist spaces.
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
From TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.

Interested that no one has tagged something new yet! I'm wondering if there's just not a ton of super specific tropes we associate with gothic Americana?

“Why are you so upset about adult content bans? You don’t even post that stuff. can’t you just look at porn somewhere else?”
Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.
#whether you like it or not adults should be able to have their space for these things without a company deciding it’s not safe enough#for advertisers#not only that but they’ll find a way to tie those things to lgbtq+ inevitably#it’s always been this way they’ll strip everything until it’s uniform#it’ll be clean for the giant corporations and they can feed off of us all they want#even if you’re not into kinks and shit dude that doesn’t mean everyone has to suffer cause it won’t effect you
48hr tumblr blackout proposal
tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:
- reverse the recent image viewer update
- scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
- let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
- increase efforts against spam / porn bots
- make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
- let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
- commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
- (suggestions welcome!)
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.
(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)

People online are insane they could see some clothes and a single (1) pair of shoes on the ground and talk about “that’s gross it’s so messy in here 🤢! How do you live like this😦?”

Pokémon breed variants have made a comeback across the regions, particularly in grass types such as Leafeon.

The indoctrination never stops.
Conservatives need a minority target to keep their followers focused/unified on hate. As the followers obsess on hate, their lives/emotions are much easier to manipulate.
Conservatives always vow to restore the country to some distant past that never existed.
It's an endless loop of failure.

Other little guys can run, play, and frolic in the sun but I can walk! (They can walk!)
Other like guys can roam, upgrading and changing homes, but I can walk! (They can walk!)
And sure, I might not have a funky design, but I like to walk; for me it works fine. You can find me in Paleozoic years And guess what, I'm still here!
@onenicebugperday I think this little fella gets to be an Honorary Bug.
Absolutely counts as a bug! Horseshoe crabs are chelicerates and not crustaceans so they're more closely related to spiders than they are to crabs.
