bad day? long day? overwhelmed? confused? tired? bored? sad? everything feels weird and bad and you don’t know why? pick at your skin for at least an hour. you surely will not regret picking at your skin for at least an hour. because there are no consequences or open wounds. picking at your skin for at least an hour: try it today. no refunds.

If tumblr shuts down you can find me in living in a shotgun shack. If tumblr shuts down you can find me in another part of the world. If tumblr shuts down you can find me behind the wheel of a large automobile. If tumblr shuts down you can find me in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife. It tumblr shuts down I'll send myself an ask that says "how did I get here?"

A Little Reintroduction

Hey hi hello so it's been a while. Long enough that I'm going by a new name and have Been Through Some Things so I'm just going to do a quick update on how and who and what and why and whatever.

So, these days, I'm going by Figgy, Figgy LaFate if you need the whole rundown. They/they pronouns are preferred but honestly I'm not going to pick a fight if you call me something else, as long as you're not defaulting to one that isn't they/them. It's chill otherwise.

Okay, basic introductions out of the way, I'm thinking about reusing this for more of a review space? Maybe review is a strong word, but a sort of substitute/extra place to collate all of my reviews/notes about things I'm reading (books and comics), watching (movies and TV shows), listening to (music, podcasts maybe?) and playing (video games). I get exhausted trying to keep up with Storygraph and Letterboxd and everything (I say as though I plan to stop using them, I don't know, maybe I'm just trying to make my life harder).

Anyway, I'm also trying to make some efforts to do more writing after a long dry spell due to burnout and general Life Problems, so catch that over on @bafauxmetwrites so keep an eye out over there as well. I'm also just gonna tag this with all the shit I'll be using for that sort of thing, for ease of finding.

I think that's it, so, you know. Just so y'all know.

it pisses me off that so much of my political energy ends up going towards stupid basic shit like 'racism is bad' and 'queers should have rights', when i would much prefer to be arguing for the fringe opinions like 'destroy all copyright' and 'borders shouldn't exist' and 'abolish marriage' that i actually care about.

apparently everyone is sick of my shit and they’re going to kill me tomorrow. idk it’s just what I heard

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship

Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊

[thetransfemininereview]

What I cover:

- Citations from P25

- Historical overview of American obscenity law as pertains to trans people

- Assessment of trans censorship in Nazi Germany

- Three core philosophies for resisting fascist censorship

- An action plan broken down by interest group (readers, authors, etc.)

[thetransfemininereview]

I took absolutely no pleasure writing this article, but I have a lot of research around obscenity law and historical precedents for this that I know nobody else has access to, and getting the information out there is crucial right now 😔

[thetransfemininereview]

The core thesis of this article - one that echoes much of the other advice that I’ve seen floating around leftist spheres over the past week - is that our best defense against this type of censorship is mass grassroots action. If every person who reads this picked five books they want to preserve and five people they want to share this with, it would have a much broader impact than if a singular group of readers attempts to document and archive the entire corpus.

A centralized preservation effort can do immense work, of course, but it won’t be accessible to the trans people who need to read trans books and see trans joy to survive whatever comes next.

1 million reasons there will never be a good movie that is also a good dracula adaptation but one is that on the one hand i have come to believe you need someone with the genuinely spielbergian combination of a capability for true thrills and a sincere appreciation for and willingness to indulge in unrepentant sentimentality (jurassic park, like dracula, is both actually scary and unapologetically corny), but also you need someone who’s enough of a freak to recognize that the blood transfusion sequences need to be at least as horny as anything else going on. and those two things don’t usually go together.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

lake mungo is not a horror movie about knowing you're going to die. lake mungo is a horror movie about having a family who knew you so little that they don't notice your ghost and instead invent one to mourn, examine, and eventually let go while your real ghost goes unnoticed and abandoned

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

Support Emily on Ko-fi! ❤️. ko-fi.com/emilygwen

MY FRIEND EMILY DESPERATELY NEEDS HELP RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS AND CONSIDER DONATING TO KEEP THEM AFLOAT, EVEN IF YOU CAN’T GIVE TOO MUCH. THEY DO NOT HAVE CONSISTENT AND STABLE HOUSING RIGHT NOW AND NOBODY IS HIRING EVEN IF THEY’RE APPLYING TO JOBS DAILY. EMILY’S BILLS ARE PILING UP AND THEY’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF THERAPY + PSYCHIATRIST + DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.

Girl are you the Hays Code the way you consider media irredeemable if it depicts anything that strays away from the norm you're comfortable with or depicts anything morally questionable without definitively condemning it and anyone associated with it, therefore creating worse stories and content and making it difficult for people to engage with complicated issues from a nuanced and controlled perspective?
