if you try you can do anything

Have an animation I did at 3 in the morning.

I don’t feel like posting much today.

PRESS Ⓐ TO BE WEIRD AND UNSETTLING

I always get so fucking mad when I remember that it’s actually a 16-year-old Algerian girl who influenced BOTH Picasso and Matisse. and. No one gives a rat’s ass about her work which was very focused on women and nature. History -or people dare I say- didn’t bother to remember her name because she was a young Algerian woman and no one cares about Maghrebi/Arab women. unlike P*casso & M*tisse who both became legends, almost gods both during their lives and after their deaths, no one knows her.

Her name was Baya Mahieddine.

i hope that more people know about her now, especially seeing as OP literally linked to an article about a Baya Mahieddine exhibition in 2018.

It is remarkable that she had such a strong practise and had great influence at 16. Despite various disruptions that caused her to stop painting, she returned to her practise from the 60s until the end of her life.

More on Mahieddine’s work here.

y'know what? fuck it! shout out to all my fellow "stereotypes!"

shoutout to my fellow autists who do feel like a kid in an adult’s body because their mind works differently. shoutout to my fellow systems who have alters that lash out, and/or alters of fictives from popular media. shoutout to my fellow bpd folks who get clingy and have abandonment issues. shoutout to the autists who act "robotic" and love trains or dinosaurs. shoutout to the people with OCD/OCPD who do get obsessions with cleanliness and orderliness, who do wash their hands over and over, who do lock and unlock the doors a specific number of times. shoutout to the people struggling with intrusive thoughts that do get the violent ones and the sexual ones, not just the self-injurious ones.

shoutout to my fellow flamboyant gays. shoutout to the lesbians who wear flannel and have buzzcuts. shoutout to the aces who like space and cake and dragons. shoutout to the aces who are stoic and don't have an interest in bonding with people even non-romantically. shoutout to the nbs with neopronouns and names like "star." shoutout to the queers(or otherwise lgbt+ folk if you don't use that term for yourself) who have dyed and cut hair, wear a shitload of pronoun pins, wear a rainbow binder that can be seen, and love talking about how much they love being part of the community.

shoutout to my fellow activists who yell and get mad. shoutout to my fellow activists who bring up the problems in things, even if it means "always making it political." shoutout to the feminists who don't wear bras or shave, and don't get along with men.

shoutout to the men who struggle with emotions. shoutout to the men who love blue and camo and trucks and fixing things and sports and hunting. shoutout to the women who cry easily. shoutout to the women who take hours getting ready. shoutout to the women who love pink and shopping and shoes and cooking and taking care of kids and cleaning.

i'm very white so i'll summarize the next one: shoutout to all the BIPOC fitting into "stereotypes" as well. if anyone who is BIPOC wants to give specific shout outs, go for it!

to anyone who fits these or any other "stereotypes":

You are not a stereotype. You are a person with traits and qualities. You are not doing anything wrong by being true to yourself, whether that means fitting expectations or not.

Anyone who hates whatever group you are in for these "stereotypes" would hate your group regardless; anyone who accuses you of "giving your group a bad name" is deflecting the hate onto you because it's easier to pretend that it's nothing they are doing that gets that hatred; the truth is, bigots are bigots and they will always find a "reason" to be hateful. You trying to avoid "stereotypes" will never change that.

(do not fucking clown on this post. you will not get a debate from me, you will get blocked.)

obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.

Fuck you, completely and absolutely

Society if you could make AMVs just by thinking about them

Hey everyone. There's another app on the Google playstore. Pretty sure it's not official and it's making money from in-app ads.

I think the AO3's latest post about apps is here:

I don’t access Ao3 on my phone, but for those of you who do. wise words of warning.

Last time I looked, my best bet to use AO3 safely and free was to go straight to AO3.

I don’t understand the appeal of this. Has anyone ever thought “you know what would make AO3 better? Ads!”

Semi-regular reminder to my readers that AO3 does not have an app and every time you login through one of them, you are potentially comprising your account/password. AO3 has an effective design for mobile use and you can always add to home screen, if you really need an "app" icon.

Additionally, one of the main reasons to NOT want an official AO3 app is that it would force them to comply with Apple's TOS.

You know.

The thing that is widely believed to be behind the porn ban in Tumblr.

If you're accessing AO3 from your phone, you can use site skins to make changes to your liking: display in dark mode, hide certain tags/users/fics from view/searches.

If you can install firefox, you can also use extensions on mobile to make your browsing much more comfortable!

I guarantee you the studios are going through every outspoken actor's files looking for something, anything to discredit them. Ron Perlman is probably undergoing the deepest background check of his life right now, thanks to Bob Iger.

So brace yourself to hear some unsavory shit about your favorite actors in the next few weeks. Some of it might even be true. But that doesn't change the righteousness of the cause or the truths they speak.

I am begging y'all on my hands and knees to learn to support people's actions without valorizing them.

Also, think about how often you say something without providing full context and nuance.

Now remember how often actors are put in front of press cameras and expected to answer any questions that are fired at them within tight time limits.

Not every inflammatory soundbite or quote represents a person's full or current views. To shoot down your allies because of an unrelated instance of "wrong opinion" is foolish at best and actively harmful at worst.

^^^ this is what ‘divide and conquer’ looks like.

& honestly, if you’re not yourself a striking writer/actor/etc then it doesn’t matter much whether you fall for this shit. You’re not a part of this fight. But you can look at it and learn from this. This will happen in your own struggles for your own workers rights. ‘Dig up dirt on the leaders’ is a classic union busting technique. Be ready for it.

hi twitter! fun fact about tumblr: we love and support cisgender heteromantic asexuals and cisgender heterosexual aromantics because we believe they are just as much as part of the queer community as our hetero transsexual brethren! :D have a nice stay <3

you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here's how!

i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea

by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel

“fem-presenting” this, “masc-presenting” that. what if i wanna just be Presenting. i am showing you something and you have no idea what it is

*says a fact in a conversation and a wikipedia citation appears next to my head*

*clicks the citation*

*text pops up saying “this is not true. He saw this in a youtube video once in 2014 and took it as fact”. the words “youtube video” are underlined and in blue”

*clicks on the link*

Bitches out here roleplaying internet trolling
