whatever it is you are looking for, you won't find it here

[sin0fempathy]

seems like tumblr finally realized the bad optics of not having the trans colors represented anywhere in their little performative pride like animation.

anyways transfems are still being banned en masse from this website for “any reason or no reason at all” and having their accounts taken down again and again when they attempt to remake. this includes accounts that had originally been around for over a decade, after they did nothing but get a bit too loud about being transfem. don’t shut up about it.

[puppetstuffing]

hi, puppet again. rb to spread around and help it please

that blog didnt even last FOURTEEN hours!! ugh. and theyre still claiming its spreading "child abuse material" when literally all its posted was two small posts about eggs and a dono post

well anyway, puppets a homeless and disables trans women who lives purely off tumblr donations, it knows it asks every time its nuked but if you can help it'd greatly appreciate it, paypal here..

tumblr is also very blatantly trying to make sure it dies and never gets the connections or help it needs so.. idk if you have any way of connecting puppet to some places to talk or make friends or just. not die alone, it'd appreciate that too♡

sorry it has to do this every day, its not its fault they keep banning it though..

puppet loves you ♡

Trans woman in need!

Hi! I'm Mordred! I'm an unemployed trans woman who writes smut, makes zines, does photography, and does sex work. But because of a recent hate campaign by a bunch of terfs, I have been banned from PayPal and venmo and can't really make money off of those things anymore. I've been struggling for months looking for a job, but I am disabled which makes it really hard to do.

I'm in desperate need for money for the two bills above, and rent, and meds, and groceries. If there's any way I can get help with these things I'd be eternally grateful. I'm trying to get by until my husband and I find a new apartment we can afford better (it's in the works) but for right now I desperately need help.

DM me for zelle. In absolutely necessary moments I might be able to share my husband's paypal in dms.

[maidslime]

Bills paid but I still can't really afford dish soap or my meds. If anyone wants to throw stuff at me that'd be neat. Don't need a lot.

whenever the conversation about difficulty and accessibility in games come up i want to slam my head into a wall because noone thats speaking has anything more than a surface level understanding of what "difficulty" even is

[kirikomamura]

your game should have accessibility options, but if your only accessibility options are "turn off central game mechanics" then you have made shit accessibility options.

[kirikomamura]

you know what accessibility option doesnt completely fucking butcher your game while allowing almost everyone to play it? an option that is not available in 99.99% of all games ever made? easy:

[kirikomamura]

bonus points: if you put a game speed slider in your game you can also allow Absolute Fucking Freaks to turn it higher than 100%

i mite not be ok soon

[decompose1]

it's actually crazy like kind of unbelievable how much racism ppl just expect you to put up with to be polite. like i have so many little experiences where a friend-of-a-friend said something awful and racist to me and i am very clearly hurt and upset and then the friend just expects me to be polite and not say anything not react not even be angry. like when ur not white ur never allowed to be angry. if ur angry ur being too aggressive. you never get to expect an apology, either. expecting an apology for the racist way people hurt you is always asking too much. you never get an apology. you never get to be angry. you never get to say it hurt you. you're just supposed to pretend you didn't hear it, didn't read it, didn't notice. you let things go because it's the only way to have friends.

[decompose1]

🤪 LITERALLYYYYYYYY. ive learned being schizophrenic and native is not a good combination you get this rancid ass combo of like Wise Spiritual Noble Savage or Scary Dangerous Insane Person and u are always one of these things and it will change on a dime depending on ur mood and how much the person talking to u likes u lol

Marketable plushie or homunculus? part 2: oh no it's starting to multiply

[molsno]

every spellcheck algorithm when you type a non-english name: uh oh! that's a typo! let me go ahead and fix that for you

[molsno]

does anyone else remember when google's facial recognition algorithm tagged a photo of black people as gorillas? racism is so often built into the technology we use every day and it's absolutely disgusting. and it doesn't have to be this way! it would be so easily avoidable! but the tech industry doesn't care. the tools built by the tech industry reflect all of the biases of the people who develop them, and they are most often built by people who don't consider non-white people with non-english names important enough to spend any additional development time to account for them

[molsno]

and y'know on top of that, these decisions reflect US cultural hegemony! just earlier, I tried implementing spellchecking in my program, and no matter what I tried, I could not get it to stop flagging the vast majority of non-english names as "errors". here's the readme for the library I tried to use:

it makes such a big deal about how inclusive they want this list to be. so, where did they get the majority of these names?

US census data

the tech industry by and large does not consider anyone living outside of the united states to be people. I even checked, and the difference between the final list and the file us-census.txt is only a few hundred names. and sure, this is just one spelling library, but it's one with over a million weekly downloads on npm and over 27,000 dependents on github. I guarantee that several of the websites and programs you use every day depend on this library for spellchecking, and whoever wrote this library decided that a list of names of people living in the united states is "good enough". it's maddening!
