my toxic arknights trait is that i like when playable characters are actual scum of the earth. making them playable is an interesting narrative decision all by itself and i'd rather have a racist grandpa on the roster than a unanimously morally correct cast of friends. this is just my personal take though if you think otherwise that's obviously fine lol

“Why are you scared of dating” I’m not scared of dating, I just haven’t found anyone’s company to be more enjoyable than my own. And also I don’t care

"very guilty and problematic client" holy copaganda batman

sentimentalslut

let’s start parsing who does and doesn’t deserve representation and assign moral weight to agreeing to protect their rights I don’t see how this could possibly go wrong

The purpose of a defence attorney is to make sure the police have done their job. The prosecution says "they did the thing" and the defence says "well can you prove it?" and if they can't, the defendant goes free because the prosecution fucked up.

All they have to do is their job. As long as they don't fuck up doing ther job, the guilty will go to prison. The reason the guilty go free so often is because the police are constantly fucking up and not doing their damn job.

parkchanwoohoo

It's very telling that these people can't really conceive of a situation where they might be wrongfully arrested for something and labeled "very problematic and guilty" and may, in fact, need exactly the kind of legal representation that they're side-eyeing. Even in the realm of thought experiments there are the categorically ""problematic"" and they can't even imagine a world where they could ever be lumped in with them, even wrongfully, because surely people would OBVIOUSLY know they're innocent, surely this only happens to Others

derinthescarletpescatarian

#even if the client is totally guilty#the defense attorney's job is still to make sure they're treated fairly#even guilty people should not be abused by the system because no one wanted to speak up for them#once again as soon as we decide some people don't deserve rights#we're on a fast track to no one has rights

transcyberism

❌🚫🙅 "transmasc hyperinvisibility"

-> nonsense, redundant term (hyper-invisibility? as in more invisible than invisible?? Is the issue really just that people can't see us? Why can't they?) that frames our issues as if they're the opposite of trans women's issues (i.e. the opposite of hypervisibility)

✅💯👍 "transmasc erasure"

-> correctly frames it as a distinct and often purposeful/active removal of trans men/mascs from discourse and public life that doesn't directly have to do with trans women

You know how right wing media runs off of BIG SCARY EMOTIONS instead of fact?

Left wingers do this too. Except instead of "THEY'RE EATING THE CATS AND DOGS" it looks like:

"No one else will ever accept you."

"You're too oppressed to be understood by anyone but us."

or

"Anyone outside our group is dangerous."

Check in with yourself about how online communities make you feel.

Do they make you feel hopeful, or hopeless? Connected, or isolated? Accepted, or tolerated?

Do they encourage you to think for yourself, and use critical thought? Or do they ask you to accept without thinking and toe the line? Is there open communication, or are differing opinions bullied into silence?

Beware of anyone who tries to isolate you.

Beware of anyone who tells you no one else will ever love you like they will, that no one else will ever accept you.

Beware of anyone that tells you life is nothing but pain, or that there is no hope.

Hopeless, lonely people are easily controlled.

I know things are scary right now. I'm scared too.

Look out for people who WANT you scared.

Try to find spaces that make you feel like change is possible. Look for people who make you feel empowered to do something!

Look for the helpers.

"Beware of anyone who tries to isolate you. Beware of anyone who tells you no one else will ever love you like they will, that no one else will ever accept you." "Hopeless, lonely people are easily controlled."

^THIS!!!!

There are many valid reasons to be angry, or scared right now. But don't give up on hope, and don't let anyone isolate you.

Keep healthy boundaries. Find communities that aren't just in a constant state of doom. Find communities who also help and support one another, and who act in ways to help facilitate meaningful change in the world. And for the love of all that is good, please stay away from people who would weaponize your trauma/pain in order to control you whilst otherizing someone else!

getting teary eyed thinking about gerda gottlieb's paintings of her wife after she transitioned

thing is, for a lot of these paintings it wasn’t “after” lily elbe’s transition. there was no after to it. the one op posted was painted in 1928. this was 2 years before lily legally changed her name and began undergoing revolutionary gender affirming procedures. unfortunately she died due to complications of an experimental uterine transplant in 1931.

up until that point, during the day lily continued to dress in masculine clothing and even attended galleries showing gottlieb’s paintings of her. which was kind of iconic. she got to stand in a room full of people who were marveling her beauty, not knowing she was right next to them. it must have been such a cute little secret for them as a couple.

here’s gerda and lilly together

not to mention that for most people there is no real “after” to a transition. especially for these trans historical figures who had to balance identity and safety at all times.

i think having a wife paint these portraits must have felt really amazing for lily. to be able to see herself through the eyes of someone who loved her. i’m very much seconding op on the getting teary eyed.

here are some of my favorite gottleib lily paintings

"transfem" "transmasc" cute do you mean non-binary people or are you misusing non-binary terms to describe binary people :] and hey are you defining transfem and transmasc with amab/afab which are intersex terms :] the clock is ticking

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!

{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair.
