I am afraid, but I will sing. My writing blog. My Aesthetic Tag. Some tunes, too.

I sound so homophobic whenever I talk about keeping bears out of theater spaces I swear I’m talking about Ursus americanus

[raccoonmilf]

I’m a costume designer and there are live bears outside the theaters on a regular basis. We have received multiple warnings. They have already gotten in to some other buildings.

Exit Pursued by a bear happened to you?

Let's take a moment to appreciate just how amazing the title cards were for Batman the Animated Series.

[forgotn1]

Oh! I actually know what made these look so iconic!

The backgrounds for the entire series were done on black paper, a first for any animated show. It's Batman, which means everything is at night and incredibly dark. So, the majority of the backgrounds were going to be black anyways and using black paper would cut down on the time it took to create all of the backgrounds. Adding color over the black paper instead of the traditional method gave it a much more stylized look that helped make it iconic.

It also forced some other creative choices, such as using an airbrush to do all of the background art. During the early testing, they found that using an airbrush was easier to apply paint with than a paintbrush and that it looked better. Airbrushing let them be more experimental with painting techniques, such as the spattery fades you can see in the "Bane" and "Deep Freeze" title cards above or the soft, deeply shadowed face on "the Last Laugh." The overall effect of airbrushing on a black background is a much darker, moodier vibe than could be achieved with a traditional approach.

They cared very deeply about the art of the show and how they were going to create it. It wasn't just about the story or the character. In the words of co-creator Eric Radomski: "As opposed to making shows just to sell toys, we've made quality films."

My new pet peeve is people completely misunderstanding the term Male Gaze and making the term female gaze based entirely on that misunderstanding

the white boy of the month pushing his hair back and reading poetry for the camera is not the equivalent of the dehumanization of women in visual media by way of presenting them primarily as vessels for sexual gratification

Self identified TERF John Boyne is coming for Oscar Wilde next lol

Same fucking guy that fucked up so much holocaust education curriculums with his highly inaccurate, borderline nazi sympathetic 'The boy in the striped pyjamas'. Same guy that put a fucking legend of zelda recipe in his historical fiction book. But I'm sure this time his research was flawless and his theories about alternative history are completely free of bias 🙄

Not to even mention that horribly transphobic 'My Brother's Name Is Jessica' book.

We actually didn't go hard enough on him at any point, clearly, because he's still at it. When they had to cancel the 2025 Polari prize after nominating him, because everyone else withdrew in protest, he said the backlash made him think about abandoning writing. He should have kept to that. Maybe if everyone hates this new book we can still make it happen 😭🙏

Earlier today I made this flag, which was well received on my other social media, so I'm taking it here.

This is a flag for pornography destigmatization. Pornography, both making and engaging with, needs to be accepted as a part of life.

It should not be equated to abusive media, because there's lots of porn that has been made ethically - you can choose individual creators or even fictional art. It should not be treated like some kind of a corrupting substance, it doesn't have any properties that would make it different from masturbating to your fantasies or engaging with some other form of entertainment media. It should not be pushed out of the public spaces, out of mainstream sites.

Pornography and freedom to get involved with it needs to be protected.

Visual symbolism: the center shape is a reference to a video tape. Green heart is for non romantic sexuality destigmatization. Pink stripe above is to emphasize porn creation as a marginalized genders' rights issue, purple stripe below - marginalized orientations'.

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

3D printed objects are not inherently food safe. do not prepare food with 3D printed objects.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

[its-the-blob]

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

[ralfmaximus]

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.
