at some point in your life you are going to do or say something racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted. Your goal is not perfection, your goal is to be the kind of person that the people you've hurt feel safe being honest with when that happens.

[puppygirllaika]

since people keep adding this kind of stuff in the notes: no, self-flagellating and making a big show of apologizing and "doing better" is extremely not the same thing as making people feel safe about telling you when you've been shitty. in fact, doing so is in many ways anathema to it.

[agoatnamedadam]

If anyone wants some suggestions of what you should do when someone does you the kindness of pointing out that you said something fucking stupid I have a few tips as someone who's had to unlearn a lot of shit. Apologize, and then say thank you. They were rolling the dice that you wouldn't be a huge dick about being called out. It says a lot about how good your relationship is with them that they felt comfortable enough to tell you. Then, shut the hell up. Do not try and keep talking. Give yourself a minute to process any feelings. Because it does suck and it does hurt to be hit with the realization that you said something hurtful. This is your job to process and deal with on your own. Not with the person who pointed it out. Especially if that person is part of the community you were being racist/sexist/bigoted against. They might talk to you about *why* you shouldn't say that. Let them if they want. Take the chance to learn and try and listen the best you can. (Note, this does not mean allow them to abuse you. You don't deserve to get cussed out for a little slip. If this starts I suggest walking away and ending the interaction.) Finally, give yourself a break. You're a person, you're learning. Everyone fucks up and this is your turn. Learn from what happened, If you have questions either respectfully ask if they're willing to answer stupid questions, while understanding that one person does not speak for an entire culture or gender of people. (I have black partners, I've come to them several times and gone 'Hey can I ask a stupid white person question?') Or, you can always do research online. It is okay to make mistakes and fuck up in social situations. The key is knowing how to recover when you do, apologize when appropriate, and not to turn a fuckup into an entire 'pay attention to me and comfort me cuz I'm sad' time.

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.

Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said "I want my father back, you son of a bitch"

[galwednesday]

A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless." The Princess Bride's revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you."

Gonna vent for a sec. My wife is amazing, does so much for me day after day. I am grateful for everything she does truly. She could of gotten me nothing for christmas and I would of still felt like I owed her for all the day-to-day things she does.

But there is a slight problem today with presents. There was a specific desk I wanted and it was very expensive that we saw when we were together earlier in the year. Its a lot pricier than what I would normally spend, like $500, and she got me a cheap version of a desk that has the same layout. L shaped desks. But it has next to no work space and none of the things I wanted the other desk for. Its small and there's nowhere really for my tower to go or any storage options in it. I wouldn't of expected her to get me the super expensive option, but getting me a cheap version of it is worse than not getting me one at all.

I'm not going to say anything obviously, but now if I get myself the nicer desk she'll know I don't really like the one she got me. She already cried today because I got her more things and more expensive things than she got me. (Which I don't care about, I wanted to spoil her as a thank you for everything she does for me.)

I know I'm complaining about a very nice gift, but it's very hard trying to act excited about this gift while moving my setup onto it. I'm hoping this screaming into the void can vent some of my feelings about it. It's still a nice desk, its still more space than I have currently have. Even though its not a desk I ever would of picked for myself, its still a kind and thoughtful gift from my wife who's currently making me a waffle breakfast for Christmas.

I need a project to work on that is *not* the huge holiday show my business is participating in this weekend.

I'm gonna give a go at Baldurs Gate again this weekend. I'm gonna make myself play for an hour and focus on it and we'll see how far I get.

The reason I probably shouldn't be allowed to make movies is I have no impulse control and I would immediately make something called Revenge Of The Dead Tranny Hooker. It would be about a trans woman trying to break into acting, but no one wants to hire her for anything except playing a sex worker who gets murdered. Then one day she does an open casting call which runs her through a series of increasingly bizarre line readings, which it turns out are meant to summon an eldritch demon to grant the movie producer god-like powers.

The culmination is supposed to be sex on the casting couch, but she ditches at the last minute, destroying the ritual and splintering the extradimensional entity across California. She unknowingly receives powerful extradimensional blood, while the rest of the fragments seek out the powerful and violent people of the world. Meanwhile the movie producer uses his new powers to transform his PAs into henchcreatures, and sends them after the protag to finish her off. She discovers her new powers in the ensuing fight, which also seem to be gradually altering her body every time she uses them.

The rest of the movie is a steadily escalating game of cat and mouse between trans woman and movie producer. While the former transformers the fragments into powerful psychic weapons like chainsaws and spiked bats, the later uses fragments to make himself bigger and physically stronger. At first the fights are short and brutal, the protag outmatched and outgunned, but she gets more confident to the point of an anarchic battle of against the LAPD led by a demonic police captain, including a scene where she stands on the roof of a speeding police car and rips the driver through the windshield.

Her eventual form is some kind hyper sexual draconic mantid squid rippling with biomechanoid components. In the fight with the producer he thinks he's winning by tearing apart the last of her human flesh, but this just complete her transformation, letting her easily overwhelm him. It's implied from that point forward she plans to conquer the world.

Sorry that one got away from me.

Any marginalized person on tumblr: yeah so that’s been my experience as a marginalized person

Five hundred people who can’t read: ummm OP don’t you know that there are OTHER people who are MORE oppressed and marginalized than you? Suspicious that you didn’t even mention that — I will now consider you one of their oppressors.

Unrelated but any time someone mentions clown makeup I'm reminded of how highly successful stage magician Penn Jillette almost flunked out of clown college and had to take remedial clown makeup classes.

[cuprohastes]

My father was a magician and a clown. When he died, we cleared out his old clotehs and there was his clown suit.

"Oh I'll take this down to the charity shop" said my mother, missing hte part where no sane person is going to wear a clown suit.

"Nah" said I, "Have them dress him in it when they cremate him."

There was a pause and my throw-away joke started to slowly solidify into 'Yeah let's do that'.

A discussion was had with the mortician who had a bit of a worry that the costume would involve giant clown shoes which would prevent the coffin closing.

Luckily it wasn't that sort of outfit.

I told this to my dear friend who immediately envisaged someone trying to close a coffin onto a dead clown, only to have the big red nose go *Sad honk* every time there was an attempt to close the lid.

The awful hilarity rendered her incapable of standing.

[whumpster-fire]

The poor mortician can't figure out why it still won't close, and has to remove 5 dead clowns from the coffin before it finally shuts.

The conversation surrounding cultural appropriation has been so severely mutilated by white “allies” that the original intention behind that conversation has become almost unrecognizable in most social contexts.

[afronerdism]

To explain what I mean, the conversation around cultural appropriation was started by black and native people to discuss the frustrations we feel at being punished socially and financially for partaking in our cultural heritage while white people could take, I.e. appropriate, aspects of our culture that we are actively shamed for and be heralded as innovators. It was about the frustrations we feel when the same white people who shamed us would take our culture and wear it as if they were the ones who created it while still actively shaming us for doing the same.

The original push behind naming cultural appropriation and having these conversations were so that we as a society could evaluate why we were punished for our heritage while white People were not. It was supposed to be about seeking solutions. The idea was to create a society where we could celebrate our cultures with impunity. It was never about telling white people that they “weren’t allowed” to do certain things. We did ask that white People stop doing certain things because they weren’t doing them respectfully and were not invited to do them, but the primary reason we asked them to desist was to reclaim the things they had stolen and to reassign them culturally back where they belonged.

White “allies” saw these conversations happening and instead of trying to aplify our own voices or even try to learn about the complexities behind why we were saying what we were saying, they instead began screaming over us and creating a narrative that was hardly even the bones of what we originally set out to say. It was like they took the conversation we were trying to have, completely decontextualized it, and stripped it of all it’s nuance in order to gain social currency by seeming progressive.

So the conversation around cultural appropriation went from “This aspect of our heritage belongs to us and we find it egregious that we are shamed for it. What steps can we take to address the racism that’s creating this situation as well as rehome the things that have been stolen” to “you’re not allowed to do that because if you do that you’re racist, we don’t really understand why that’s racist but you’re not allowed to do that and if you do that you’re a klansman no exceptions. So you’re not allowed because because”

At the end of the day, did I like the fact that sally was wearing dreads? No. But my primary concern was not that sally was wearing dreads but rather that sally could wear dreads and I couldn’t. THAT was the intended focus of those conversations. It was about addressing the inequality. It was about us. Now the conversation is just about sally and were completely forgotten.

White People are always asking me what they can do to help. You want to know? Stop talking. Aplify our voices and shut the fuck up because you all have pretty much derailed this conversation and many more like it to the point that we no longer are trying to make steps to understand and dismantle the racism around cultural appropriation and instead are just using it as social shaming tactics.

[afronerdism]

TL;DR: read my post. Most things worth learning about can’t be summarized in the bullet points of a buzfeed article. Don’t come into academic circles and complain because everything hasn’t been conviently summarized for you. Stop pretending that things aren’t accessible to you because you refuse to do the intellectual labor that is learning.

[agoatnamedadam]

I would also like to highlight the ending passage in this extremely well written post.

"White People are always asking me what they can do to help. You want to know? Stop talking. Aplify our voices and shut the fuck up because you all have pretty much derailed this conversation and many more like it to the point that we no longer are trying to make steps to understand and dismantle the racism around cultural appropriation and instead are just using it as social shaming tactics."

My fellow white people who want to be part of making the world better; shut the fuck up, listen, and for the love of fuck use your privilege and voice to lift the voices of others when it comes to injustices faced by other cultures.

The City of Atlanta Georgia has decided to demolish the research and conservation center of the Amphibian Foundation. This organization works tirelessly to conserve the Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, Newts, and other amphibians in the United States. In addition, they provide key education for herpetologists on the care, conservation, and preservation of reptiles and amphibians.

This emergency need is compounded by the government mass firing of conservation officials and the pulling of funds from many of the country's conservation organizations.

If you can help please donate here:

Support AF's Emergency Fund

The building where AF is located will be demolished in June 2026.

Key points from the Amphibian Foundation.

Our building will be demolished in 2026, and we need to identify a new location (or locations) for 7 labs and over 1,000 animals, many of which are endangered and part of critical conservation programs.

We've identified a new location for most of AF, but not our research and conservation programs. We have an amazing lead, but it's not confirmed yet.

Our first fundraising project is the AF Emergency Fund as the minimum cost estimates to move this many labs and animals safely is $50,000. (It costs about 50 USD per animal to move them)

If you can't donate.. please share... here.. and everywhere else.
