Welcome one and all to the 2023 himboff, yet another tumblr poll tournament! This time, we shall be pinning himbos against himbos to determine the himbo-est of all!
Sadly not everyone could show up to the wedding (because it would take me like an hour to edit this-) but regardless, with this we mark the true end of the himboff era!
Please check out my sequel @2023vampiretournament if you. Idk like my personality or something. It's smash 4 themed and I plan on going down until I reach the n64 version.
(If you stay following this blog I will still be using it to help boost other tournaments and general good causes if I feel the need to)
Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:
Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.
Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.
Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination.
e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee.
If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).
A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.
I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.
Do not forget that discord is still planning on moving forward with age verification and has only "delayed it" until "the later half of 2026." They are hoping you will forget while they quietly roll it out when no one is looking. Continue to message them about it. Continue to talk about it. Make it clear this is unacceptable. Discord is one of the only places left you can even talk about or share adult content in private at scale anymore. They will tell you "its not that bad if you dont use it for nsfw" but fuck them and fuck people who say that shit.
y'all empowered scammers way too much im getting spammed with identical and near-identical asks at such a rate there is no way any of these are humans like
Literally I swear I've received the exact same ask as the first one before I just didn't screenshot it when I did I remember the wording like. The fxck.
to the people doing these: you genuinely sicken me the way you're faking being genocide victims for a quick buck and if you don't change your ways I hope you rot in hell like I don't like to say stuff like this normally but like I'm so sick and tired of coming onto tumblr just to get these asks
Ok I have been getting this exact same identical ask on my main blog from multiple accounts like literally with no differences and I even blocked one after the first several and I just got another today. It's definitely a bot thing so like, I'm just posting the message thing to say "if you see an ask like this it's a scammer you will get the same thing from several accounts"
Like and it's. Really fxcking gross that people are using this for a scam like what the Fxck.
Ok I keep getting ones with like this same exact pfp can anyone like reverse search the image or try to trace the source at this point like I wanna know whose family these bxtches are stealing this from
Like literally the other account in the other screenshot had the same pfp I cropped it out but like I swear it and like several of the others did I know "source just trust me bro" but like. Wait I can go back and revert the screenshot actually I can fudging uncrop that
The only thing I recropped was an ask I sent that was privately answered by a mutual because I've. Had a long habit of hoarding those lol.
anyways uh Literally the same goddamn profile pic on different accounts what the fxck

Ok now they're not even TRYING to hide that they're bots like the same account sent me the same identical message within like a few minutes when I wasn't on like????? I don't know how or why a human would do this especially when again I put in my bio that I'm a minor and don't do signal boosts and . I'm fxcking tired-
like doing it the first time is like . I kinda think any account who would go into my ask box in particular is a bot for that reason but a Second time in a few minutes after the first with the same exact identical long message is like- this isn't human behavior I'm sorry like-
am I somehow wrong do people really think acting like this doesn't scream "bot" like????
As someone in an international relations class: I hate how the internet corrupts words until they lose meaning because it took me until that class to learn that radical feminism by its actual meaning is like. Really different from what most people claiming to be "radfems" use the term for
Basically:
internet radical feminism: Bullshxt terf behavior
actual radical feminism: feminism that recognizes/discusses intersectionality (the way things like race, class, etc. affect women's experiences)
Like. The irony of a lot of terf/"radfem" behavior also being like racist and shxt/refusing to recognize intersectionality as part of womanhood effectively like. Most directly in the way they treat trans women/the trans experience and womanhood but also like, a lot of their shxt also affects women of color or intersex women or just any women who don't fit into western standards of ideal womanhood it's like they're the inverse of the ideology they claim to be following.

Everyone has at least the basic understanding of what concentration camps were like. Forcing people to get their head shaved and denying them basic amenities. Think about the similarities really understand and consider how awful this is... how dehumanizing this is.... now imagine it happening to you.
here's a link to the article (wusf.org posted this from the marshall project which is what i've linked)
With new restrictions on gender-affirming care, prisons confiscate underwear from trans people and compel them to cut their hair.
it is heartbreaking to read, and i wanted to highlight some parts but it ended up being essentially the whole article.
one thing i do want people to know, even if they don't click through to read the article, is that one woman was put into solitary for ten days for refusing to cut her hair. then they put her in cuffs and dragged her off to the prison barber and did it. after ten days of solitary confinement. for having long hair.
Trying to mostly stay away from politics on this blog, but today there’s something I just need to say.
Kamala Harris just defied DECADES of inside-the-Beltway “wisdom” by picking Walz as her running mate instead of Shapiro. The gray-hairs were probably all telling her she had to go with Shapiro to court the independents. Instead of picking the moderate, staunchly pro-Israel guy, she went with a full-on progressive with a strong LGBTQ+, pro-choice, pro-union record.
She’s making a leap of faith here. She’s betting that progressives, young people, and marginalized people will show up for her if she shows that she’s listening. As someone who lived through several decades when progressives didn’t have a voice even in the Democratic party, I can’t begin to tell you how huge this is.
In the coming months, you will no doubt read/hear things about Harris or Walz that you won’t like. Some of it may even be true. There may well already be things you don’t like about her.
Unfortunately, the choice isn’t between a perfect candidate and an imperfect candidate. The choice is between an imperfect candidate and possibly the most disgusting man on the planet, a guy who isn’t even trying to hide his plans to destroy the US. If Palestine is your #1 issue, know that he will do everything he can to pour gas on the flames until there’s nothing left.
Harris made the choice to listen to progressive voices. If she loses because we didn’t show up for her in huge numbers, we’ll likely be wandering in the wilderness for decades more while the planet burns around us.
(Oh, and we’ll need to show up again in ‘26. Let’s not make the same mistake we made in 2010, when the left stayed home after electing Obama and Republicans won big everywhere, which led to the extreme gerrymandering we’re still dealing with in many states.)
@el-shab-hussein you are tripping over your own lies. Keep switching up the story, scammer. First he was ashamed of their behaviour for sending a multitude of (automated) porn bot asks:
and now suddenly when we provide massive proof it is a scam, you switched the narrative to 'they got hacked'?
Basel-1995 is clearly a bot and I am absolutely convinced you are a scammer abusing REAL people who need food and shelter for your own benefit. For more info: read this
I stand by my last post:
@staff feel free to delete my blog if I am wrong but please look into @el-shab-hussein as I am convinced they are very adept at leading a scam ring.
Ok I don't know what the fxck is going on the only reason I'm bringing this to The Big Guns here is because.
1: Who the hell is prismatic-bell like sorry if there was already a post made about this but like. That feels like something that should like Be Addressed here
2: why are people defending a pornbot
3; why are the replies saying it's racist to not defend a pornbot do white tumblr users know what racism is (my west asian xss seeing you all right now 😭)
4: but also why the hell is the pornbot ask not linked to when the other posts are that feels a bit out-of-place but like. The replies aren't saying anything useful they just kinda say shxt and don't like put any reasons for it is the pornbot ask screenshot real is what I'm asking. But also they kinda confirmed that those asks did happen in the other posts so uh maybe it isn't really that needed since the other stuff confirms it too.
5: WHO IS THE FXCKING VETTER?????? "my vetter" AND WHO IS THAT. I can get not sharing the personal information of someone else but you should at least say who your goddamn vetter is if you wanna be trustworthy because PEOPLE SHOULDN'T JUST TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT THIS IS LITERALLY AS GOOD AS SAYING "just trust me bro"
6: but like yeah literally I feel like it's kinda sus that they went from saying "they're embarrassed for how they acted" to "they got hacked and never did anything wrong"
7: can y'all catch me up on what this situation is I haven't been active on tumblr as much what is going on even fxcking
8: can y'all stop being stupid please just behave yourselves istg like the replies didn't even read the post it feels like 😭 like am I missing context here I'm not exactly following every single blog involved keeping up with it like drama i just saw a post cross my dashboard and it looks egregious like this but like. Please what the fxck is going on are people really just going on the offensive on-impulse like this??????
Reminder from someone with actual literal brain damage from a brain injury to stop fucking using "brain damage" and "brain injuries" as a means of describing someone whose opinions you don't like or deem as stupid.
It's ableist and offensive as fuck, and for some reason a lot of leftist people think it's okay to use. I've seen posts replying to right wing racists calling them "brain damaged if you believe this" and "do you have a brain injury? do you not understand X?". Just now I saw a beautiful post about fat people throughout history that was absolutely ruined by opening with "How do we break it to boomers with actual brain damage and nostalgic brainrot, and the 'tradwife' thirsting Andrew Tate fans..." before continuing to say that fat people existed throughout history.
Brain damage does not make you racist. A brain injury doesn't make you stupid, or fatphobic, or unaware of history and politics. Stop fucking using my disability as a catch all to describe people you think are shitty. Y'all use it like it's a replacement for how people used to use the R-slur, which shows you learned absolutely nothing about why the R-slur was wrong to use and decided to throw in other disabilities instead. Fuck off and stop doing it.
(And don't do it with other disabilities either, because I know y'all do.)
I know a lot of people with brain injuries. They're smart, and funny, and compassionate. They learn about the world and care about social issues and wish they could go to protests if their disability won't allow them to. Are there right wing people with brain injuries? Sure, absolutely. But they are not right wing because they have a brain injury, and using any disability as an insult is still fucking ableist.
Tldr - stop using brain damage and brain injury as an insult. It's ableist and incredibly offensive.
Honestly, once you start removing ableist and sanist language from your vocabulary, it opens up a whole new awareness of just how despised those groups are. Disability justice — and especially IDD justice — is a huge missing piece from most leftists’ politics, but I promise, things will make a lot more sense once you incorporate it
