Pay Attention to Ferguson

Please pay attention to what is happening in Ferguson right now.

The people of Ferguson are staging a peaceful protest regarding the unlawful, tragic murder of Mike Brown, and the police are responding with rubber bullets (one man has been injured so far) and tear gas, calling the protesters “fucking animals.”

The police are wearing full military gear. They are responding with absolute violence.

The police are trying to cover up their vicious, unconstitutional actions, telling the news crews/journalists to leave the scene of the protests so they can “clean up.” They’ve completely sealed off Ferguson. THEY’VE TRAPPED THE PROTESTERS (and regular people who would like to go home) INSIDE AND ARE TRYING TO FORCE THE MEDIA OUT. They are harming and threatening to arrest journalists who do not comply.

The Ferguson PD have created an illegal police state. This is, by all means, unconstitutional. BUT IT IS NOT A NEW OCCURRENCE. If you are shocked by this display of police brutality, then you must have missed the last 50 years of anti-black history. And the saddest part? This is not the worst case of it by any means. I beg you, please, pay attention to what is happening and commit it to memory.

Here is a petition to change the current laws and stop the police from abusing their power. I urge you to sign it. And I urge to you share your outrage over what is happening. Tell your legislators, your communities, your social media cohorts. SHARE IT BEFORE THE POLICE AND MEDIA COVER IT UP.

The officer who murdered Mike Brown, the disgusting pig who shot this boy 9 times, is on PAID LEAVE right now. THAT SHOULDN’T EVEN BE AN OPTION. 

The peaceful protesters of Ferguson are being gassed and shot at for seeking justice. PLEASE DON’T IGNORE THEIR STRUGGLE. 

PAY ATTENTION.

EDIT:  Here’s a link to an LA Times article, summarizing the events of the evening protest.

Things To Remember

Don’t be angry at yourself when anxiety/depression flares up. It isn’t your fault and no one blames you and if they do they’re pieces of shit.

Don’t orbit around your perceived value so much. You’re not the sum total of what you produce.

Don’t let yourself wonder why people love you. That’s not how it works. There are not stark, individual reasons that a person can enumerate about why they love you. It’s the entire, unique combination of what and who you are.

watch out for cis people who ask you about your “true name” because they will try to bind you to the faerie realm so that you can no longer walk among mortals. make up a name so they let their guard down and you can steal their firstborn.

a helpful tool for critical media analysis ive found is asking yourself "what purpose does this scene serve?"

it helps you better understand how successful media is constructed. "oh, this scene is for exposition to help the audience understand. oh, this scene is for character development to make the audience care about the characters." almost every scene in a good piece of media will have an easily readable purpose (or several) once you start looking for them.

if a scene appears to accomplish little other than displaying a scantily clad woman, it isn't there to display Strong Fictional Female Character Making Her Own Fashion Choices. that scene has a very intentional purpose crafted by a real fucking person, and the purpose is turning on the men in the audience

so the next time a scene feels awkward or off or pointless to you, ask yourself, what purpose does it serve? did it succeed or fail? what would improve it, and what adds nothing to the scene?

tbh i hate “artist advice” that never thinks of any disabled artists and as such is only useful to able artists

you know the types. the “never stop drawing or you’ll get bad!!” “it doesn’t matter if you aren’t feeling it, just draw! or you will get bad!” “never stop drawing ever or you will stagnate”

like, protip: that just makes me feel terrible and both emotionally and mentally drains me even more to where i want to draw even less. thanks for that

Truscum are not interested in supporting and uplifting other trans people. They’re interested in making this shit into a game, and the name of the game is Who Can Be a Better Lapdog. For cis people, if that needed to be clarified.

They’re so caught up in making sure cis people are comfortable in trans spaces and that trans peoples’ lives and experiences are palatable to cis people and that cis people “take us seriously,” when the fact of the matter is, transphobic cis people are never going to take us seriously.

Either you’re a good little lapdog for them, dropping all your shit and your gender too to rush to their aid and make sure they never have to feel a negative fucking emotion, and you get pets and long-winded speeches about how “ur not like those other trans***** ur a good transs*******☺****,” or you say one fucking thing out of turn or do anything they don’t like, and you deserve nothing short of derision and threats. You fuck up catering to a transphobic cis person, they’ll out you. Not a second thought in the world. You are nothing to them. For some reason or another, truscum haven’t learned that yet. They think that there’s something they can do to make them like us.

They will never like us, never take us seriously, and never be interested in our feelings. You don’t cater to your oppressor and hope that one day that’ll be enough. It’ll never be enough. They will take, take, and take, and then your ass is on the curb, or more likely, dumped somewhere because you didn’t dance enthusiastically enough and they decided you didn’t deserve life.

Whether you’re binary or not, dysphoric or not, transphobes are not your friends. Don’t let them convince you that they are.

girls with facial hair are cool and cute and if someone tells you otherwise you must have misheard them because they weren’t really talking because trash cans cant speak

comparing genders w/ ur friends and swapping to obtain rarer, more powerful, and more badass looking genders

girl hate is toxic, I don’t have time or patience for girls making fun of each other’s bodies etc

research something for months or even years and you’ll be told you’re not qualified to self-diagnose, despite knowing more about your specific conditions than your average therapist

mention you have a trigger and suddenly those same people become experts in exposure therapy without any prior research or consent

Testosterone is considered a Schedule III controlled substance because cis men irresponsibly use and abuse it to sports better and other horse shit.  Meanwhile, “transtrenders” continue to totally not affect my access to hormones in any way.

and yet who do you see truscum complaining about? not the cis men, no, but the vulnerable young transgender teens who aren't even on T yet. amazing :')
