Welcome!

Hello folks! I'm BulletBillTime, but you may call me Billie! I'm a hobbyist who loves to dabble in many creative hobbies! This includes, but isn't limited to: drawing, writing, video editing, level design, game dev, programming, web design, and more! I'm by no means an expert in any of those, but I know enough to bring my creativity to life!

This blog is mostly going to be a hub for whatever creative projects I have going on, from genuine attempts at art to brainrot fandom garbage. (Mostly the 2nd one, but who knows!) Aside from the usual string of reblogged posts, you can expect art, and the occasional ramble about whatever is on mind!

(If you want an easy access to the stuff I make, you can find tag lists in the Useful Links page of my blog!)

I also have a website on NeoCities!! It's a WIP, but I'm working on adding more to it! You can see some of my projects, and things I like! You can also sign my guestbook if you'd like!

now now i know we hate pjackk but if were getting serious here it WAS a character sideblog run by a transfem & i genuinely have to assume thats why pjackk was banned in the first place. i hope we all know this is another case of staff nuking a popular transfem blogger & not just like "lol pjackk got killed because he sucks"

And you know what's even more "fun" about this centering of temperate and northern climates as the standard? Is that even someone like me, who was raised in a hot climate in the Southern Hemisphere, sees it as a kid but realizes it as an adult.

You start to wonder why in every fiction that reaches us, EVEN IN FICTION WRITTEN HERE, jungles and deserts are considered "exotic" and "hostile" and are never home to any main characters, why they're always "exotic", never "home". You start hearing people who wish they had snow in Christmas (which is in summer) and you realize that's nonsense but it takes a bit of thinking to properly articulate WHY is that nonsense. You see city planning bringing plant species from the north which don't grow here, people trying to imitate northern climates where it just doesn't work, and you think that's silly, until you start learning about how these are just the tail of actual plans of transforming colonized enviroments. You hear comments about how people in hot places are such and such and you of course realize that's discrimination and racism, but you also start to connect the dots about how the discrimination goes against the very place they live in.

There's layers to this, that's what I'm saying.

@staff stop terming my friends. Why are you letting nazis thrive and terminating trans girls fifty times in a row

[crotchapplin]

They reinstated Pjackk, a blog that's been abandoned for over a year before getting terminated, but none of the trans women who were termed for posting selfies and talking about their days

[missstrogen]

damn happy pride huh

[missstrogen]

reminder that staff never answered my messages regarding my original termination with nothing but automated boilerplate stuff until they blocked me from appealing.

Staff doesn't want trans women

I just find it really weird that all of my trans focused posts EXCEPT for the nonbinary focused posts tend to pop off. Like the fact that I'm trans is negated by the fact that I'm nonbinary to some people.

[agender-witchery]

People will say TMA and transfem to mean trans woman when those terms very explicitly are designed to include nonbinary people who are marginalized along the same lines. Enbies can experience transmisogyny. Enbies can be transgender and feminine.

I'm tired y'all.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.

The pjackk thing was done to distract from the ban waves, by the way. You should care more about the people living off of donations being wiped off their primary platform than one inactive blog being reinstated.

Losing my mind over this

Never forget these two queens putting on the most showstopping tiktok of all time

[doubleca5t]

imo one of the funniest genres of dude is the ones who post shit on social media like "in 2024 I don't have time for fake friends" "so many people trying to betray you and stab you in the back, can't trust anyone but yourself" "I got a lot of enemies, a lot of people praying on my downfall" and then they work at like the mall or something like bro what kind of life are you leading there cannot be that many people out to get you

upon further reflection the type of guy I was trying to describe here is just drake fans

Trans youth denied hormones twice as likely to attempt suicide, survey finds

A Trevor Project survey found trans young people who were unable to access hormones were nearly twice as likely to report a suicide attempt

A major new survey from The Trevor Project released on Wednesday (6 May) has found that transgender and nonbinary young people who wanted hormone therapy but were unable to access it were nearly twice as likely to report a suicide attempt in the past year compared to those currently receiving hormones.

According to the report – which included over 10,000 responses from trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people – 15% of trans youth denied access to hormones reported a suicide attempt, compared to 8% of those able to receive care.

When you advocate for taking medical transition away from minors, you advocate for their death.

A lot of these people prefer a dead boy to a living girl

HAPPY PRIDE DOGGIESS!!!

been laughing at this for the past 15 minutes btw

every Porsche vehicle in Russia stopped working, for reasons that are unclear but apparently related to their anti-theft satellite connection, and I need everyone to understand that this is bad.

it's bad if this was intentional and a company can just decide to brick your car remotely whenever they like. it's bad if this was accidental and your car needs a constant connection to a satellite or it stops functioning.

it's bad even though it's Porsche because if they can do it to rich people with luxury cars they can do it to anyone. it's bad even though it's Russia because a) not every Russian is responsible for the acts of the Russian government and b) if they can do it in Russia they can do it anywhere.

this is not a "lol Russia get pwned" moment, this is another example of corporations ending the concept of ownership.
