I burst into the Unicode consortium office my eyes bloodshot my arms bursting with folders I slam my resume on the desk saying I come up with many important emojis you will love please gives me a chance. What about an emoji that means “doctors who listen” or one for “civil disobedience” what about the “glyph of “tingling” please only just give me the chance I can make you “dollar sign eyes and dollar for tongue”. How about an emoji that means Zendaya okayyyy. my fingers dripping with blood from carving out the svg files with my bare knuckles I move closer and someone hits a button that’s silently call security but I don’t care I keep going my pitch. The “cancelled” emoji will make yuor engagement rise I am saying. This one is a work in progress but I am calling her Linda. Sis you ever stop and think how come there is no moji of “age gap” or “anti trust law” I’m an ideas guy i am screaming I am ideas guy. I smile at you and my face is the perfect curved sliver. The soldiers are on their weigh but it’s too late. I take out my 🔫 put me in the database I growl attractively you “snivel” back (no emoji for that btw) please please whatever you say. The soldiers arrive and I grab you “hostage style” (no symbol of that) the guards are saying “whoa there.. whoa there buddy” before they can act I bang them with my squirt gun. “I AM YELLOW” I shouting “I AM LIKE HOMER BUT ROUND”. I plug my dongle into computer beginning the upload. The Unicode troopers keep coming but I am slinging smileys from my pouch like a throwing star. The files are flowing to the cloud. Wham “vaseline emoji” wham “gender neutral mouse” wham “standup but the comic is bombing so he start doing mean aggressive crowdwork” yoir era is over now I am the consortium now I cackle I take out my poloroid and snap a quick photograph of your scared and pale face as your blood vacates it no doubt flowing downward because of sexual feeling. I shake the photo to make it develop faster but it doesn’t work (look it up) and there are no more army on the way. Just you and me and the computer. It dings to completion but I have one more file to add. I look at the picture in my hand. You look… beatuifoul. I think I will call thjis one.. come uppance… I said and slam it into the disk drive. You smile and we embrace. All is forgiven because I give you the highest honor there is I have make you An Emoji which should be the heist honor in my opinion. Do you remember when they offered jordan peel the role of the poop in the emoji movie and he was so insulted he decided to make Get Out do you remember well those days are gone. Being an emoji in my regime is it like a presidential Medal of Honor speaking of which we are giveing a speech at Unicode plaza the crowd is cheering and the president is there but this one is Nice. They saw my vision. No longer will the consortium limit human emotion to an exclusive set of several hundred image now emoji is for everyone. And one more thing the eggplant is no longer “lewd” we can make a new emoji of “lewd eggplant” for placate the freaks but some of us regulars just want to say vegetable without everyone thinks penis all the time. The crowd is cheering me they are saying red one hundred and fire symbol. they think that I am 🆒 they finally think that I am 🆒

i think the OG "eminem buys a car" video has been copyright claimed everywhere and i'm distraught. there's a shorter version on youtube but it's missing a whole bit from the middle

invoking marx's theory of labour on a post with the main message "if you do not contribute labour you're worthless and should be abandoned" is honestly astonishing

[default-cube]

also "if you're a puppygirl who isn't doing the dishes you're basically a man" is just such a disgustingly horrid take. perfectly fusing ableism, transmisogyny, regular misogyny, i can only assume the article is meant to be ragebait

sorry i shouldn't be vagueposting when i dislike other people doing it. this is about tara knight's "dump your puppygirl"

it's just frustrating how you can point out that none of the problems with AI are new and people will interpret that to mean "everything is fine and we just have to accept this new normal", rather than understanding that to mean "we need to change our thinking and tactics to address these issues more broadly and at their root causes instead of buying into AI exceptionalism, which may involve reevaluating other technology we're already alright with"

i guarantee you no person with a conscience is Pro Data Centers Poisoning The Water, and there are a lot of reasons why someone would want to point out that this phenomenon predates ai that don't just come down to running interference for tech industry ghouls.

reject the western gaze!

mutual aid means no hierarchy between givers and receivers

a new mutual aid org, Bridge of Solidarity, has been established in the gaza strip by 17 year old poet yazan mohammed in response to the exploitative practices conducted by some charities and encouraged by the existing charity-based model of fundraising for gaza. according to BoS: "the western attention economy and pity economy plays a large role in who lives or dies in gaza." essentially, people need to make themselves marketable in order to receive lifesaving aid; people who are not marketable die. yazan himself wrote about the damage this can do to one's self image, which you can read here.

after trying for a year to respect his own privacy, my friend siraj was also pressured into posting images of his son's emaciated body in order to gain sympathy from westerners.

we cannot keep forcing people to do this anymore.

here's a declaration of their values from bridge of solidarity's most recent post:

Our organization is against the Western gaze. We refuse to humiliate people. We refuse to force people to take photos. We refuse to force people to take photos with our flyer or logo. People will receive aid freely without being forced to pose. We will respect people's privacy completely. Our principles include autonomy, dignity, sovereignty, mutual respect, and mutual aid.

this org will prioritize giving aid to people without phones or social media, who do not speak english, and who do not have outside support or living parents. these are the people who are not palatable to westerners but who deserve to live with as much dignity as everyone else

as of five days ago, BoS are working on a water truck delivery

The Transfeminist Womanism Archives

You can access it here. Please reblog this post when you see it so more folks can get access and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao

This archive isn't complete, as no archive ever is. I'm constantly taking suggestions on what to add to it or changes to make. If you'd like to see something added to the archives or are having technical difficulties, please send me a DM. Current content categories and archivist's note below cut.

"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"

Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.

Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.

If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.

NEW: If you are Black and/or Transfemme and would like to potentially include your art in the archive - visual, audio, or otherwise so long as its digital, DM me!

If you'd like to tip me for curating this archive, you can do so through vmo @AnonseeStoryweaver or Cshapp $tshenta

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.

this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!

like thats the big thing, regardless of whether or not any of the individual transfem users who get banned Deserved those bannings, pointing out the double standard in where and when terms of service are actually held up is the big thing here. sometimes bigotry doesn't look like giving marginalized people consequences for No Reason sometimes bigotry looks like making sure marginalized people receive consequences for their actions overwhelmingly more frequently than privileged groups. deciding who you actually enforce your rules against is a big way this sort of thing manifests.

[dumbpuppyfag]

so like. okay so like you have this online ecosystem where everyone's all fractured and algorithmically siloed into their little groups, right?? and the only contact they have with outsiders is through screenshots, meaning you're only ever seeing the stuff that's objectionable or funny enough to be screenshotted in the first place. and the people who rise to the rank of screenshot curator are the people who spend all day sniffing around the other camps for stuff to screenshot. so you have this epistemological chokepoint dictated by someone whose main hobby is sneaking around with a camera getting all up in someone else's business and making it into a public spectacle. and the easiest way to make it into a public spectacle is to make your audience scared and angry. and the easiest way to do that is to play on existing negative biases, like pushing an open door yknow?? so you have this dynamic that rewards prejudice and elevates it to a position of narrative authority. and the people who can do this the most effectively and consistently are the ones who have no qualms about stalking marginalised people and crafting narratives about how they're scary and evil. and you reeeaaally gotta question whether or not any of this is actually beneficial to anyone or if it's just doing to you what fox news did to your dad, yknow??

Ramadan mubarak!

Israel's siege and bombing of Gaza have not ended, and we know from past years that the violence tends to escalate during the holy month of Ramadan. Time that should be spent in prayer and reflection is filled with worry and desperation.
