[dragongirlsweetie]

when people say "death to america" they mean they want the communist death army to storm every city in america and kill everyone there including babies and old people and animals too and then they are going to take a bunch of bulldozers and dynamite and such and demolish all of the buildings and trees and mountains and everything until the entire country is just a smoldering crater. just wanted to clear that up

slightly more serious less flippant version of my post from yesterday: whether you ar doing so from a point of pro- or anti- nintendo or video games it is so silly to talk about whether 'video games are more expensive now' 'video games have always been this expensive' when what you're talking about is exclusively big-money titles that you're buying on release day at full price. that's not "video games". that's "video games made for current-gen hardware by activision/nintendo/EA/etc". its like saying "Movies nowadays all have Iron Man in them"

many of the best video games of all time are made by one weird trans girl and available for free Free on itch.io. many more are made by two autistic finnish guys and available on steam for like $10. the "video gamse used to be even more expensive adjusting for inflation" thing is only true about usamerican kids who were playing the new nintendos at the time, to me as a kid "video games" were like ~$8 from a guy with a cd burner or when i was slightly older like $20 for three from the second-hand ps2 games bin. like get some fuckin perspective on the medium god damn

[txttletale]

i get that it is recreationally fun to whine and hate. i support all whiners and haters and i agree nintendo should be bankrupted and have to sell all its games for negative ninety dollars. but if new mario games are $80 i just think its really easy to not buy new mario games. like when peoplare like "games are 1 squillion dollars" im like okay maybe for you if you want to buy the new zelda or cod the day of release. for Me, video games are like $15. sometimes $0

Frankly, I don't buy the theory that the repeated sweeping deletions of trans women's blogs have principally been the product of bad-faith mass reporting campaigns abusing automated moderation. I've been falsely mass-reported before, on multiple occasions, and nothing's ever come of it. Someone is pulling that trigger.

[porcelain-dollbones]

i don't really like it when western mythological terms are applied haphazardly to essentially unrelated ideas. this is a completely lost battle but a lóng is really not a dragon, it is its own thing with only surface level similarities

[porcelain-dollbones]

i especially dislike many works that try to fold all sorts of different mythologies into a single consistent schema because they tend to heavily privilege western conceptions in doing so- see 'dragonology' books twisting basically every mythical reptilian under the sun into the mould of 'a species of dragon', implicitly centring the beowulf-style firebreather as the default from which all other mythologies derive, or basically anything that does worldwide vampire bloodlines

[porcelain-dollbones]

relatedly a qílín is not a unicorn, a fènghuáng is not a phoenix, and a jiāngshī is not a vampire, and it can impede understanding when they're approached from the standpoint of being the 'chinese version' of these concepts from western myth

[morganitism]

Like it really just doesn't get any clearer than this. Racialized transfems are only seen as a thing to be used by everyone else. I make a vent post about racialized transfems being treated like an object to benefit everyone that isn't one. First it gets hijacked by a bunch of whites going "white person here, I totally get it" as if you could understand even a modicum of the hell that racialized transfems live in daily. Then after I call the white people out, a bunch of TME TMRA types look at the post and go "well clearly this is a post for ME to hijack!" And then after that I get to be directly compared to objects by shitfucks on tumblr trying to be quirky. The response to me being asked to get treated like a person has been "no". It's only a matter of time before the fucking TME he/him therians invade my post being like "well why would you WANT to be human when you can be a dog instead". I hate you people so much. From the very bottom of my heart I hate you.

[winged-void]

maybe chase and hunter wanted to kiss but couldnt, did you consider that?

there are dozens of strange tmes in my notes who are shipping the dudes who used to chase me around and call me a faggot in middle school

[winged-void]

im not joking, if you check the notes of this post it's like. constant. that and asking me if my name is prey. it's weird and annoying and im tired. tumblr users see two boy names and that's all it takes for them.

trans women who "don't mind topping" or are "fine with having a penis I guess" take my hand

[mousidy]

swag if you genuinely enjoy these things but it's staggering the number of trans women I've known who feel this way and eventually realize they need bottom surgery more than they realized. take my hand it will be ok I will still love you

[mousidy]

it's scary to go against what people expect from you, and it's scary to accept that you want to summit what seems like an insurmountable mountain but it's ok. I love you. I know you can do it. I can't wait to see the glowing smile on your face

legalize copyright infringement

[janmisali]

to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"

[janmisali]

a few people in the notes seem to be under the impression that this is a stance that requires caveats. so just so we're all on the same page: no exceptions. "stealing art" (copying existing works for personal gain) is a good thing.

[janmisali]

some of you seem to have bought into the capitalist lie that copyright infringement causes artists to "lose money", which fundamentally assumes that everyone (or even like a notable portion) who obtains a would-be-illegal copy would have otherwise paid full price to obtain the original. and like we all know that's not true right

[callmeirony]

So without copyright, what would prevent capitalists from taking a book and selling copies of it at a much lower price than the author? (thereby preventing the author from making money on their creative work)

[janmisali]

okay so where did I lose you

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

Jaia's prison ID number is 3492500039. The state of New York handles commissary money transfers through JPay. Monetary support is crucial for even a 'short' stay in prison, all the more so for trans women who are disproportionately mistreated by corrections officers and other prisoners, and frequently placed in solitary for their 'own safety'.

JPay offers convenient & affordable correctional services, including money transfer, email, videos, tablets, music, education & parole and p

Other's tags, but I'd like to highlight the fact you can no longer just *find* an article that's giving the actual testimony anymore.

Information like this is being actively scrubbed from the internet (specifically google, facebook, and most major news article sites in terms of verified examples), and we should all be highly aware of that fact.

[tgirlmaomao]

they are renaming 'video games' to detach them from a curse of history which strangles their potential into a suffocating mass of numbers and sensations emulating the primitive feedback mechanisms of glowing small-change machines and fascist pen-and-paper slaughter fantasies. now they call it an 'interactive picture-sound' (intps) to emphasize both the key components present in the object for analysis (pictures, sounds, and their interplay with agent interaction) and to form a bridge between the peer mediums of pictures (images) and pictures-sounds (formerly, films/movies/video). things called 'video games' will still exist but they will be as husks shambling through a dead mode of creation and understanding. this new paradigm will serve to transform the 'player' from a passive agent reacting thoughtlessly to simple stimuli into a true thinking creature as important to the intps object as the creators of the work itself in a way often claimed at present but never fully achieved

reminded me of this talk

GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/4aa826d9d

[deepseasmetro]

Nobody has donated to this GoFundMe yet!

per the fundraiser, aerial has 2 younger children, both of whom are autistic! homelessness is difficult enough to navigate alone, let alone with 2 kids with extra needs and considerations.

please consider donating even a couple of bucks to get this fundraiser off the ground!

[deepseasmetro]

I've just donated 5 dollars. I can't afford much else, but if even a quarter of my followers all donated just 5 dollars, this GFM would be fully funded immediately!

even a little bit can go a long way.

"I would never jeopardize the beans" pales in comparison to it's newest successor, "beans r not woke. How could u do this?"

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

hey so did any other transfems get in trouble for crying as a kid? for example id get yelled at or in trouble for something and it would make me cry and then id get yelled at for crying about it, often with a "toughen up" or smth similar

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

oh yea the "stop that or ill really give you something to cry about" yea mhm yep ok fuck

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

lots of people saying shit like "this isnt a transfem thing it's a child abuse thing" and like, fucking obviously

maybe consider that i never implied it was a transfem exclusive experience and take a couple seconds to think about why it might be especially traumatising for us to be told to "man up" and not express emotions as children and that i was seeking to not feel alone and to commiserate within a community that i know will actually give a shit

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

if you're gonna reblog this please make it this version, if i have to see one more condescending comment about how all children go through this im gonna be on the news

[loth-caatgirl]

one time in elementary school the teacher put on some video and a man sung "its alright to cry" and that very fucking day, i got home, cried about something, and was beat and sent to my room for crying as a "boy" and thought about "but that song said its alright to cry"

hang on holy shit it's this one

thank you, Rosey Grier, i think I'll cry again rn

[hoodiesnightmares]

“You’re so quiet” thanks every time I’ve tried to enter this conversation you’ve just flat out fucking ignored me

[hoodiesnightmares]

People in the notes are mentioning not knowing when breaks in the conversation are and I get that (god do I get that) but this post was specifically inspired by the evil ass phenomenon of “I was not interrupted, I added something and no one acknowledged it in any way, be it by the conversation completely stopping there or by them picking it up where they left off like I didn’t say shit.” Like okay what did I do wrong can someone tell me I didn’t mean to kill the vibe here
