@pure-mornings I started the next set of tests, I thought I’d tag you since you asked about other skin colours, here are those results so far:

Hey @Staff

You wanna hyper-sexualize and demonize female nipples? Here, have some sexy male nipples on an actual demon (with bonus additional adult content!):

Buffy looked over her shoulder back at him, her eyes widening as she watched him tug his foreskin back and give his cock another long, lazy pull. She pulled the lever to shift the water so it ran out of the showerhead and straightened, licking her lips. Her eyes flicked to his nipple rings and Spike grinned. He could give the Slayer a show if she wanted one—one the future version of him hadn’t obviously ever given her. Vicious pride filled him as his free hand circled his right nipple for a turn before tugging roughly at the bar. A jolt of pain arced down his belly and he groaned, jerking his cock a bit harder.

Buffy gave a little gasp and stepped toward him, her eyes on his reddening nipple and her growing arousal perfuming the air.

“Want to give it a go, luv? Give it a nice…”—his tongue curled behind his teeth—“yank?”

Buffy whimpered as she stepped backward and blindly climbed into the tub. “Get in here.”

He thought about refusing—teasing her with a bit more of a show—but her hungry gaze halted his words. He climbed into the tub after her and nearly fell on his arse when she leapt up and wrapped herself around him, her momentum shoving them both under the spray of the showerhead. Buffy’s warm lips assaulted his cool ones with nips and licks worthy of a vampire. Her hand not wrapped around his neck slid down to his nipple and slowly rotated the bar.

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

#just not fucking.#I can live with that.#honestly this is slightly irritating but not ‘THE SKY IS FALLING’

Yyyyyeah except they’ve already:

purged the ‘chronic pain’ tag

purged the ‘top surgery’ tag

made ‘trans’ tag inaccessible to non-functional

deleted a bunch of chronic illness blogs

deleted a bunch of chronic pain and chronic illness posts from blogs they’ve left (like mine)

This isn’t just about ‘oh no you can’t look at people fucking anymore’ (even though lots of sex workers are losing their means of supporting themselves). This goes a lot further, with a lot more chilling effects. 

The sexualizing of things like ‘top surgery’ or declaring all ‘trans’ tagged things to be … sexual… is really, REALLY fucked up. Never mind the fact that ‘chronic pain’ had NOTHING to do with sexiness, and we’ve been given no explanation as to why disabled people were considered acceptable collateral damage.

[vaspider]

ALSO I had a post flagged earlier today for a cartoon picture of Mario in a bathing suit. Mario, from Super Mario Brothers. 

Someone else reported a picture of a cartoon scorpion with a hard hat on being flagged as pornography. Tagging things as ‘queer’ or ‘gay’ gets them flagged NSFW. (Hey, guess what I’d been tagging my t-shirts, because they’re pride stuff? Oh right. Queer. Gay. Pride.)

This is a fucking problem, let’s not blow it off.

[thebibliosphere]

I know some people are too young (or simply weren’t involved in fandom back then) to remember what went down with livejournal and a couple of other sites “back in the day”, but it all started out as “it’s okay, we’re just removing the nasty porn”, and then “okay well, just make sure you put your porn behind a cut, no, wait jk you need to host it externally, a link is fine, maybe” and pretty much devolved swiftly into “actually sweety, LGBT content is inherently NSFW by default because it might make the kiddies gay if we expose them to it, so y’all need to leave now byyyeeee”.

Like…that happened. And it took nearly a decade for the fandom spaces to recover and stabilize and to get to the point where LGBT content creators could host their content without being told “you’re not welcome here” and I’m just sitting here, watching as youtube demonetizes LGBT content creators, and Facebook flags up LGBT ads as “inappropriate” and now tumblr is going through the queer and gay tags and just mass blanketing it as inappropriate, while actual pornbots and nazis wind up in my recommended feed.

Like I am uncomfortable y’all. I am looking around at everything I’ve built and all the friends I’ve made and I know we’re all looking for the next safe space to jump to while hoping we don’t lose each other overnight like “the olden days” where you’d wake up and your fave blogger was just gone.

And usually it was because they’d drawn or written something as simple yet explicit as a kiss. It was just the wrong kind of kiss.

So yea, the sky is not falling, but the ice under our feet sure is making worrying sounds.

[weavethewild-deactivated2022060]

The entirety of the chronic pain tag is gone.

Why

[etraytin]

And for those saying written fandom is unaffected, the entire back archive of The Sunnydale Herald, a blog which aggregates links to fan content for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and contains nothing explicit itself, has all been flagged. It’s not just porn, not even close. It’s hitting fandom in a thousand places already.

Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease

[erinbowbooks]

Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero.   She:

 was admitted to Julliard at 8.  

was performing in top venues by 16.  

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.  

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.  

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.”  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.  

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.  

She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten.  But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.

Let’s un-forget her.

[serakosumosu]

@deadcatwithaflamethrower

[adsumcirrat]

As a piano player I just want to point out a few things:

- the basses are on the left, the highs are on the right. Easy if she’s playing just one at the time as she’s always facing it. But!

- when she plays the two at the same time, she had to reverse the motion of just one hand for that specific point in time and go against what the usual muscle memory is saying.

- the cool contrast of negative-coloured keys on the left piano? Nice aesthetic touch, eh? But yunno, if you train your brain to associate specific colours with specific things, and then reverse it, you again need to break the conditioning. Imagine driving a car and seeing a STOP sign written in green and then GO written in red. And a lot of pianists associate the black and white combo with specific placement of tones.

So. Not only was Hazel Scott a genius, I also suspect she had a non-standard neural connections to be able to do that and not fry her brain.

An amazing chapter of that engrossing story, The Darkling, that made me do a few more mood boards… it’s really all @iamoffyourbird ‘s fault. Set in 1977, I think Broken Oath totally could be the movie they would have gone to see in this chapter - but that is my Darkling headcanon, which @iamoffyourbird can correct if needed :)
