slamming the big red button on my desk labeled "bweh" over and over again to no discernible effect
I want you to read this story in its entirety, especially if you’re queer, trans, or BIPOC. I want you to see how all of this happens over months. I want you to watch what happened to me so you don’t let it happen to anyone else. So it doesn’t happen to you.
Spread this story.
Share via: Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn More Don’t look away from all this. It will […]
There’s been a lot of comments across multiple platforms, majority (surprisingly) supportive.
The responses are *so* interesting though. And I kinda wanna highlight some of the public ones. A highlight reel of sorts I guess? But also I just wanna say I really appreciate the comments you make to me because y’all keep noticing and pointing out stuff I hadn’t even processed yet below the surface stuff, like how the mediator never actually apologized about implying I had never experienced “real trauma” 🫠
Majority of the white folks that actually read through it all are horrified by what I got proof of folks saying. A few are trying to justify it or outright refuse to read it. The latter seem to be heavily anarchists afaict?
Then the BIPOC folks be in my DMs tearing crackers apart where they can’t get jumped or socially punished for it 💀
“Move at the speed of trust” is one of the things that got said to me that hits people like a freight train 🚂
I was playing a slight game of telephone here bc Alyssum ain’t got a Twitter anymore but out of all the things I said publicly today this the fight she picked??? 😭😭😭
This is partially deep-cut microblogging discourse but - someone tried to further hot allostatic load me IN REAL LIFE by accusing me of.. being nebulously associated somehow with a vague “bad trans femme” (I know who they mean, all I’ve done is say “don’t do racist stuff using ‘but it’s towards her!’ as an excuse) online. Meanwhile, they’re using that fact to justify..
*checks notes*
Calling a Black transfemme a serial rapist with the evidence of “just trust me! more is coming out about them any time now!”
But more than anything, I appreciate the intense cross-cultural BIPOC solidarity of a couple dozen all losing their minds over reading one of the most racist things they’ve ever read from a white person without slurs getting involved.
Collective gallows humor but it’s the sheer amount and variety of “White Mississippians are the most marginalized ethnic group” jokes I’ve heard/read today 💀💀💀
Anyway thank y’all for readin’
I’ve heard that people are scrounging for evidence of my “history of being a predator”.
Y’all know that I like. Provide all the evidence from my HAL, including my “victims” own words, publicly, right? The only thing I censor is my deadname they insist on repeatedly using.
You’d have to be ok with trusting the word of a literal Nazi, among others, to do it though. But it’s all right here, give it a read, all the evidence and testimony I’ve found since it happened is handily parked in one place. You’re free to make your own decisions.
Holy shit, this is so fucking horrific.
And what's with the content of these false accusations??! The 'sex act not agreed on beforehand' is having an orgasm? Strangulation girl's whole story is "I begged faer to do this kink scene with me AND FAE DID!!!1"?! And fucking Melanie seems obsessed with you identifying as a top, and treating that like it's a callout somehow????
like, holy shit. Are they intentionally trying to play out the roles of the scared white [top] in a cuckold porno, screaming about how the big scary Black [top] is luring away all the "newly-out white trans girls?" by being a hot top at them and having consensual sex and it being good?
Pretty sure you didn't consent to be part of THAT kink scenario for them! 😭
once you notice half of all memes are just a picture of a black person with unrelated text over them you really cannot unsee it
HELLO???

sometimes washing your hair, getting 8 hours of sleep, and doing some writing doesn’t fix it so you have to start seriously considering that the enemy air force has deployed some sort of microwave based weaponry or something
Holy fuck
This works best if you keep windows closed.
Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.
This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to
If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.
We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.
theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I’ve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume it’s a fair bit better.)
Image description: A white N95 is positioned under a banner that reads “what your mask tells me”. 7 speech bubbles around the mask read “you deserve access to this space, I do not assume those around me are able bodied, I acknowledge I could be carrying COVID even if I don’t feel sick, I appreciate my community, no death is acceptable when it can be easily avoided, I take my role in public health seriously, your life is of worth.” At the bottom is a collection of items used for COVID mitigation: an air purifier, a mask, a sticker that says I am vaccinated, a nose spray, a COVID test, hand sanitizer, and mouth wash. The colours are warm, cozy, and pastel. Watermarked by @graesalisbury

let it go my friend... i say this as a fat "ugly" dyke. your body is the vehicle w which you move in the world, give love, receive love, make things, SEE things, KNOW things. that's all that matters. beauty and ugliness are marketing scams esp for women. LIVE and FUCK THE WORLD it's not easy to get there but it's so sweet. ppl will love you fat and "ugly" i swear on god.
this is like a religious text to me and i'm not joking even a little
literally gave this advice last year to an 18 year old femme who was emerging from the comphet cocoon. she told me "i just dont understand how to signal that i'm femme but not for the male gaze" and i told her back "baby, you gotta get comfortable with being ugly. the thirty step beauty routine is designed to signal to cis men that you are available to them sexually. stop covering your skin, stop spending three hours blowdrying your hair. Get fatter. Get a bad dye job. Let your eyeliner be crooked and chunky. You can be femme and be very obviously a lesbian, I promise" and she! understood the assignment! she did it! and she bagged herself a bad butch! and if i never have any other impact on the world that will be my crowning achievement because she spent high school miserable with anorexia and now she is happy and loved even as she gets bigger and uglier!! i love her to bits!!
I feel like the first class you played in DND tells a lot about you

I know you're still figuring things out about it but what do you think of the steam machines operating system? All i have is a laptop that could die at any moment and i was thinking about a steam machine instead of a gaming laptop but idk if it would work like that
Talking purely software and OS: If your main concern is gaming, SteamOS is genuinely one of the best choices assuming you are okay with the occasional bit of tinkering and researching how to do specific stuff online if you ever run into an edge case. It has a ton of customizability and the only real major downside is that there are a selection of games which require a level of anti-cheat that Linux is not currently permitted to translate through Proton, which is how a vast majority of games run on SteamOS/Linus to begin with. The games that tend to not work are usually limited to modern online games like your Call of Duty's and your Destiny's and your Fortnite's. But otherwise the overall performance benefits, lack of bloat, severence from Microsoft entirely, and wide community support are incredible benefits. And if push REALLY comes to shove and you absolutely require windows for something, it is fully possible to install Windows on the system as a separate bootable partition or just replace the OS with it altogether. But I wouldn't personally recommend the Steam Machine if you don't intend to use SteamOS haha, there are more sensible options for sure.
If your focus isn't very specifically the likes of simple stuff SteamOS is good at like gaming and web browsing and discord calls and whatnot, you may need to look into what's possible for your specific needs. Linux is definitely not one-size-fits-all unfortunately. But man I've been in love with the Steam Deck and now the Steam Machine for so long now, the whole ecosystem is in a very good spot (pricing aside)
if you want to dress gay but aren’t sure how, you need to focus more on finding clothes you actually like and that make you feel good when you look in the mirror. develop your style independently of what you think looks gayest and trust the homosexuality will follow. it goes where confidence and self acceptance are

That's what we call a chirurgeon.
many girls i've spoken to struggle to identify and follow their own desires in part out of a fear of selfishness or arrogance– after all, if all you ever do is whatever you want to do, how can you account for the needs of others?
the truth is that within the families and friendships that are worth maintaining it is more often the case that what benefits us the most also benefits others, and each of us have a far higher potential capacity for identifying our own needs and wants than anyone else, even if it's very hard to do that sometimes, especially coming from cultures that train us to put everyone above ourselves.
this is all the more reason to practice. every time you put what you want first when you do know it, it becomes easier for you to see it and pursue it in the future. this is a self reinforcing practice, and people find it extremely attractive. you could be the direction and the will someone needs to find that in themselves too. each of us that does has produced something of immeasurable value
dropout posts on the dash, where's the video of Sam Reich joking about transfems being predators
kill your white boy for me
kill your white boy for me
remember that time they aired an episode where Chris Grace said "Esk*mo kiss" and, in response to the backlash, they and Grace separately issued statements + edited it out of the episode? still waiting on Reich's statement about this
hint: this time it can't be played off as an honest mistake.
#am i dumb i genuinely don't understand what his comment was supposed to mean#even the... host? seemed confused #like i genuinely don’t get it #and i am trans woman fyi #is it really that simple and I'm just like “that can't be it”
it is that simple, yes. a rich, powerful white man essentially said, "funny to be called a pedophile by a man wearing a lot of makeup" and expected everyone to laugh at it.
it's notable that the response was confusion. they knew that what he said was objectionable, they were trying to find a way to avoid that conclusion and couldn't find one. I also had this moment of confusion.
we, all of us, have been taught to dismiss and excuse transmisogyny. we've internalized it, the confusion happens automatically. deliberate effort is required to overcome that impulse to dismiss, and even that relies on us having noticed it happening at all.
he didn't acknowledge it because he knew he didn't have to. everyone in the room let it slide, they aired it uncritically, there is no outrage about it. it's just an awkward joke.
It's kind of killing me that people are so determined to say maybe he didn't mean it, maybe he didn't connect those dots so exactly...
Is that not part of the problem? Is it NOT part of the problem that we can give plausible deniability to this because maybe the person perpetuating the bigotry didn't KNOW he was?
I don't care if he somehow didn't know what he said and his that connects to larger bigotries, several people in this room DID. Even if the dots aren't as easy to connect, there's a balk.
And even ALL that aside, yeah, the joke comes down to "interesting to be called any kind of degenerate by a man in makeup" and it is part of the larger problem of transmisogyny. No matter how you wanna try to water this down, it's still a problem.
#hang on I watched the video and I'm a bit confused#is 'nonces' a term for pedos
you are not at all confused, you are in fact correct. sit with me and contemplate the fact that you understood it and yet you were confused
Also like. Most bigotry is unintentional. People acting on ingrained biases and repeating things they've been told their entire life without realizing what they're doing is far more common than deliberate attacks, that doesn't excuse or justify it.
You are still responsible for harm you do unintentionally. If you stretch and accidentally punch someone standing behind you you apologize, you don't start going on about how you couldn't see them when they're upset about it.
says a lot that the videos are taken down rn
Tumblr hates trans women, this is a known fact
Like it's really not a surprise that they (staff) keep banning trans women, they hate trans women and therefore do not apply the same moderation standards they do for other blogs
When I was running the amtrak-official blog and in the closet, tumblr intervened several times as a result of the trademark filings to defend my blog, stating satire, but in May shortly after I came out as trans, I was randomly terminated for a week with no explanation given
