Supporting LGBTQIA+ Artists

Hey Tumblr!

We’re so excited to introduce some amazing LGBTQIA+ artists for you to support on Tumblr. As part of our Educate. Advocate. Celebrate. theme for this year’s pride, we asked some of the best artists on Tumblr about the role their art has played in forming their identities. Whether it be a follow, sharing their work, or even buying their products, check them out!

This is by no means an exhaustive list. Feel free to use #Tumblr Pride to share other artists that we should support. Let’s spread the love!

Milomars (he/him)

Milo of @Milomars is a queer trans artist and plant enthusiast working out of the Boston area. He says, “Creating art has been a way to explore the human figure as well as the gender spectrum. Through art, I have been able to discover what type of person I am, as well as what I want my art to represent for me. I was able to find comfort in my identity and in my trans-ness through my work.”

Browse his collection of handmade products here.

YoMeryl (she/her)

@YoMeryl is a dynamic art + animation duo based in Los Angeles, consisting of Bronwyn Lundberg and Sarah Zucker. Bronwyn is an animator and painter known for her iconic work Lesbian Last Supper, and Sarah is a writer and artist who is also a Jeopardy! Champion. Sarah says, “Art reminds me that I am the architect of my own identity and that my notion of myself is as fluid and malleable as any artwork I’m creating.“

Check out their prints, shirts and pins over here.

Cat the Frazier (she/her)

Cat Frazier of @AnimatedText is a proud Black queer woman, also known as the internet meme queen. “Art has allowed me to create a world in which I wish I lived. It also helps me process anxieties, and connect with other people.”

Looking for the perfect baseball cap to say it how it is? Head over here!

Kylie Wu (she/her)

Kylie is the creator of @TransGirlNextDoor, where she shares comics about her life as a trans girl in her 20s. “I’d say my identity, personality, and beliefs, etc. influence my art and keep providing new ideas for my comics.”

Want more? Of course you do! Here you go!

Topher McCulloch (he/him)

Designer, developer, and illustrator Topher is based in Chicago and loves to @makesomethingawfuleveryday. “Through art, I’ve been able to explore queer identity, gender norms, aesthetic appropriation, nostalgia, and the internet. Art has helped me investigate and come to terms with my own identity.”

Sungjin: What's wrong with Jae?

Brian: Turns out he doesn't handle alcohol very well.

Jae: I'm gonna steal the declaration of independence!

also I learned about this project called “queering the map.” the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasn’t safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces

so every dot on this map is basically someone’s queer experience: coming out, meeting their future wife, seeing another gay man in public for the first time, anything you can think of that truly left a mark on them

it started in Montreal and is primarily English-language with most pins dropped in the US, Canada, and Europe, but there are people all over the world who’ve shared their experiences. it’s great to look at places near you but it’s also great to see that even people in places you thought were the middle of nowhere are happy with themselves and finding community and living their lives

Happy 2019!

As 2018 comes to an end (it’s currently December 31st at the time of writing this) I have some things to say.

First of all, 2018 was not the perfect year, I will have to admit. We lost many amazing people this year and many other events happened, it is simply impossible to say that 2018 was a perfect year. Because it was not.

This year, MNL48 debuted. Yay! I became a fan of MNL48 around March of this year, just before the Final 48 got announced. I’m so proud to say that I’ve been with MNL48 this whole time, and will [hopefully] stay an MNLove for the years to come. MNL48 went through all the difficulties to become what they are today, and I, as a MNLove, have stayed with them throughout that process. Salamat po MNL48, for what you’ve done this year, and thanks to all the MNLoves I’ve met as well. Let’s get through 2019 together! :)

As for Hello!Project this year, it’s been hard. We’ve had some amazing things happen, like USA by DA PUMP as well as Morning Musume ‘18 in NYC + Mexico, but it’s been hard. Especially these past few months. Two wonderful girls graduated from MoMusu this year. I wasn’t a big fan of Harunan (to be honest) but I really liked Haa-chin. I’m just sad that we don’t see her anymore. Aika and Riho also left this year. Aika was one of my favourites. She went for her dream and I love it. I know that Riho will also be successful. As for Yossy... well.. For me, Yossy was not a member at the top of my list, but I still liked her a lot. I felt like I was betrayed [sorta] when I saw the news. I absolutely hate Yossy now and believe she should have gotten a harsher sentence.

Ayacho announced her graduation this year also. I feel kinda weird knowing that Ayacho will be gone in a few months from now. I’ve been a HaroWota since late 2016 and heck, Ayacho’s been leader this whole time. I can’t believe she’ll be gone in one night. I’ve looked up to Ayacho a lot and now I can’t picture her graduating. But, it’s reality.

Lastly, I apologize that this post is very long. I just wanted to say some final things before we go into the new year. Thank you all very much for the wonderful mess 2018 has been. Let’s continue into 2019. Happy new year!

13th Gen is just adorable. Just look at the gap between their personalities and how they complement each other. I feel my heart go soft looking at this two interact.

I hadn’t seen any English reports on this but its too good not to share.

So right now there are pretty crazy right-wing nationalist sexists in Japan. They’re dressing up in WWII military outfits, they’re standing outside of Korean schools (in Japan) shouting that Koreans should be killed, and just generally being horrible human beings. For reasons unknown, the Japanese police haven’t done anything to stop them, and when people get physical with the right-wingers and a fight breaks out, it’s not the right-wing people who get punished.

Enter: the Yakuza.

Yakuza, for those who don’t know, is the name for the world of Japanese gangs, commonly known for being covered in tattoos. A few retired yakuza members (most of whom are notoriously and vocally conservative) got tired of this extreme right wing BS. They believe that picking on people who are weaker than you, like the children at the Korean schools or refugees, is embarrassing, and not something to be proud of. They want these right wingers to man up (the group is almost entirely men) and shut up.

These old retired yakuzas start showing up at the right wing protests and intimidate the hell out of these guys. When they feel like it, they’ll use physical force too. The police don’t mess with the yakuza so these right wing protesters become human punching bags. All their talk of killing Koreans or their superiority to just about everyone flies out the window when these gangsters roll up.

It started with only one or two yakuza who were bored and fed up, but more and more started to come. They started training in boxing and street fighting, and wouldn’t you know it…the number of right wing protesters got less and less.

Then, people of other walks of life joined in too. With the yakuza throwing the police off, professors could join by writing about the issues profusely. Suddenly a ton of otakus joined too, using their art and community to protest. They’d show up in droves and stand behind the muscle (yakuza) and make a ton of noise. They literally staged an “otakus against racists” rally.

Slowly, the protests have seen the right wing attendance drop more and more and I am living for these “manly men” being trashed by retired gangsters and fans of Love Live.

In conclusion:

First, I’d like the extreme right wing to gtfo

Second, I’d like a manga, then an anime, about these yakuza who befriended professors and otakus to fight neo-nazis. K? cool.

Concerning Yoshizawa Hitomi

Former Morning Musume member Yoshizawa Hitomi, who was arrested for drunk driving on September 6, lied to police about her initial alcohol consumption.

She told police she drank 3 cans of Chūhai (a Japanese alcoholic drink traditionally made with shōchū, carbonated water flavoured with lemon, however modern day Chūhai is sometimes made with vodka in place of shōchū).

She later admitted to drinking other alcohol as well as the 3 cans of Chūhai.

Yoshizawa’s breathalyser test from earlier showed a level 4 times above the legal alcohol level in Japan.

Her mother-in-law attempted suicide after a reporter asked her about Yoshizawa. Luckily, she survived after being rushed to the hospital.
