Wait a damn minute Merlin is an actual nightmare of a servant. Imagine you're the Prince and all of a sudden and only two seconds after surviving an assassination attempt you're stuck with this scrawny, clumsy fucking dude with a really shifty air about him who spends literal days in the tavern with zero notice, steals your food, tried to spy on a guest, doesn't let you hunt, can never fucking be found when you need him even though he is the literal manservant to the prince, which you would think should be a priority but apparently he has better things to do, and is always talking like he's the only thing standing between you and certain death???? Then he gives you attitude? Literally I would throw things at him too. Arthur is misunderstood he's actually being too nice

People on tumblr are like "I'm handing all my mutuals a bowl of soup we are kissing with tongue we are the bestest of besties I am killing and dying for you" but sometimes me and the mutuals are posting completely different shit existing on the same blogging platform but really we're just standing in the alley going "ayup" at each other like fucking king of the hill.

desantis vs disney thing going on rn helped me understand something thats confused me about godzilla for so long
as a kid i never got why the citizens didnt like godzilla bc 'he was the good monster fighting the bad monster!!' without takng into account that godzilla was still smashing their cars and apartments and the only reason he was a 'good monster' is because he was probably territorial or the other monster just hit him first
however i still think godzilla rips but i will say being one of the little guys in the city watching powers beyond my comprehension fight over stakes beyond my control definitely does not feel like im being protected by 'the good monster' and more like im about to get crushed like an ant when one falls
So I've seen this circling in both TERF circles and in trans circles...
"Stop saying this is a genocide against trans people, that's disrespectful to Jewish people!"
First, it is perfectly accurate to call something a genocide when politicians are openly saying at rallies "transgenderism must be eliminated". That is calling for genocide!!
Second, there is more than one way to commit genocide; it doesn't just mean "forcing them to wear symbols, rounding them up and murdering them in camps". Genocide includes inflicting great harm to a group of people with the intent of erasing them from existence. Many different groups of people have had genocide committed against them, including the indigenous people of the Americas.
Denying trans people the right to transition, making it illegal to talk about trans people in school, forcibly detransitioning trans people, forcing them to live in the closet, forcing them to be sterilized in order to transition, labeling "living with a trans person" as child abuse so you can take away their children, and making it illegal to openly identify as trans, are all acts of genocide. They are all designed to destroy trans people.
Hey so, Jew here.
“Genocide” was coined to describe the Shoah, but—for once—the statement “not only Jews were affected” applies here.
You know who suffered more deaths per capita than we did? The Rromani. Less than one percent of all Rromani living in Axis-controlled areas survived the Holocaust. It’s hardly disrespectful to Jews to call that a genocide.
You know who we retroactively apply the label to? The Armenians. Look up the 1900 Armenian genocide.
A few other things that accurately get described as genocide: Pol Pot’s Cambodian genocide, the Trail of Tears as an instrument of genocide, the Khmer Rouge on a smaller scale have committed genocide. Residential schools? Instruments of genocide.
When a group of people is deliberately singled out for stochastic terror and destruction because they are some kind of minority, THAT IS GENOCIDE. The reason it took so long for us to have a word for it is because groups being large-scale targeted for a specific (usually but not always) ethnic reason usually just…disappeared. Newsreel footage of the liberation at Auschwitz is what changed that. We put a face to genocide in a way that hadn’t happened before, but we weren’t the first. (Nor was this the first genocide against Jews, but we tend to call earlier ones pogroms.)
And as a side note: FUCK you, TERFs, for trying to claim my people’s tragedy as a way to put down trans people. Because you know one of the first groups targeted in the early days of the Shoah? TRANS WOMEN. Because the push for trans rights and recognition was being led by Max Hirschfeld, a gay Jewish man. And furthermore, yes, we can say definitively that they were trans, BECAUSE HE’S THE ONE WHO COINED THE WORD “TRANSSEXUAL.”
And it was women just like you who were trying to pop out beautiful blonde Aryan babies for the glory of Hitler while my people burned. And who, today, deride the ethnic features of cis Jewish women as being “manly” and who “out” cis Jewish women and our cis Muslim sisters as “men” based on common MENA phenotypes that don’t match your racist slender-white-Eurocentric femininity. You participated in genocide then and you’re doing it now.
FUCK you.
Trans genocide is real. You were its enablers then, and you are its enablers now. With love from a Jew: may your names be blotted out, and may all your teeth fall out but one, to give you a toothache.
First meeting 💙☀
I wasn’t able to draw anything for codywan week so take this silly thing <3
I was on FB when I found this old gem by @neil-gaiman
Do you remember it?
One day in South Africa I got David to record it on my phone, with a vague plan of auctioning it off for charity...
I really ought to find it again.
I just remembered my second Pride, where I made different flag themed daisy chain bracelets/necklaces to hand out. I need folks to understand something:
They were free.
They were fucking free.
They were maybe ¢60 of acrylic yarn each at the most, and the whole ziploc bag of them took 2 hours max.
Three people gave me sad eyes until I took their money.
Someone who was clearly the mom friend of their group made me take a $5 and gave a 10 minute pep talk.
At least four more people insisted on getting change to pay for the, once again, free bracelets.
In spite of all these shenanigans, the absolute best was this one person who I can only describe as, “queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend.” I can remember nothing of the outfit, only the impeccable vibes. I did the same thing I did with everyone else, explaining the bracelets were free, and they nodded along as they took the last 6 strand rainbow bracelet. As soon as they had it on their wrist, they pointed at something over my shoulder and, like a fool, I looked.
Next thing I know, they’re running off cackling, yelling, “YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME!” and I’m holding a fucking $20. I had to stop at least two people from chasing them, cause they thought the person stole something, and then they tried to give me money cause they thought it was funny seeing me flail over people being Too Nice.
That was the year I got reverse-robbed at Pride. I hope everyone out there is having a good time and, in particular, that queer surfer dude is out there still causing benevolent chaos.
After thinking about it for 15 minutes, I now know where the fuck my gremlin tendencies come from. I was always a little shit, and I always tried to be helpful, but this? This was when 19-year-old me realized that chaotic and good are not mutually exclusive.
The world has not known peace since.
WHEN WAS SOMEONE GONNA TELL ME THAT TUMBLR IS RUNNING ADS ON REDDIT RIGHT NOW???
Can’t believe I haven’t seen anything on here about the rich-people-tourism submarine (steered by a video game controller???) that went missing on the way to the Titanic ruins.
This seems like the kind of story this site usually latches onto
Tempted to think of this merely as another stage of "What Fresh Hell Is This."
The glass cliff, on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon by which women are more likely to be appointed to senior executive positions during times of organizational crisis, making them less likely to succeed. These newly appointed executives may confront internal board resistance, operate with less time flexibility, and ultimately receive shorter tenure than their male counterparts. And, when a woman CEO is terminated from her position, she is more likely than not to be replaced by a male (the “savior effect”).
He's stepping down so people don't pay attention to Tesla recalling 1 mil. cars.
They’re WHAT???
Also the woman named is an alt-right Trump supporter so....
It’s the second large recall this year! 🤗 The first was 350k cars in the US in February. The year isn’t even half over.
i want to be a cat. jobless. educationless. useless. there to be pretty and soft
Finally some good fucking food
Heartbreaking: the worst corporation you know just did a good thing
I mentioned it before but it is very striking to me that as of the last tumblr update, there are now no (0) ways to open someone's desktop blog from a dashboard post. like you can't access the url dot tumblr dot com page at all now unless you already know it exists. imo this seems like a canary that personal blog pages will be gone very shortly, which would suck, since to me that is one of the only good things this site has going for it
Correction: you can still open the top-level URL.tumblr.com link from someone's avatar on the dashboard (so, someone you follow). Actually, I should specify. Here's a post on the dashboard with seven ways to access a post:
So you can access the custom blog, but not a post on a custom blog, despite the plethora of links. Very annoying.
No, here’s the worst part: you can indeed get the link of the post you are clicking on and view it on the person’s custom blog!
IT’S JUST ON THE FUCKING MEATBALL MENU TIMESTAMP INSTEAD FOR SOME REASON I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS SITE
