IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

Please fucking lie to your employer. Like they don’t need to know your mental health issues or what drugs you do. Ffs

[thecolorsfucked]

its not lying if its to employers or cops

and look up ur rights on what they can and cannot ask u many places ban asking about ur record and transportation status and things like that resources will also tell u how they reword sketchy questions so ur prepared

here’s a quick guide for Americans with very common interview questions I’ve been asked:

🚫 illegal: how old are you?

⚠️ dicey: what year did you graduate?

✅ legal: are you 18 or older?

🚫 illegal: do you have kids?

⚠️ dicey: what responsibilities do you have at home?

✅ legal: can you adhere to this schedule?

🚫 illegal: do you have a disability or are you mentally ill?

⚠️ dicey: is there anything we should know about you that would interfere with your job?

✅ legal: can you perform these specific (named and described) duties?

🚫 illegal: have you ever been arrested?

⚠️ dicey: would you like to tell us about any problems you’ve had with the law?

✅ legal in 37 states: have you ever been convicted of a crime?

I recently filled out an application that asked me what kinds of medication I was on. Naturally, I said I wasn’t on any because. That’s so illegal.

Lie on your job applications.

Irene, Kim pisses me off so much in Mystreet.😭 Like seriously, it's so clear her only reason for existing is to get possessed by Ghost/Emmalyn. Without Ghost, she's nothing. She has no character or personality aside from stock nice, nervous girl, and has no interesting relationships with any of the characters. Sure, there are some sweet moments, but genuinely she takes up so much unnecessary screen time that could've been given to characters we as the audience already care about, such as the rest of the pre-established main cast??? I've seen so many people talk about rewrites where pre-established characters take her place and actually do interesting things with it, not only for Ghost, but also for the existing character! Special shoutouts to Vylad and Laurance! Overall, Kim just feels like a lazy way to implement Emmalyn without having to actually balance using a character with actual personality and fans.

By the way, no hate to Mystreet Kim fans! I'm just airing out one of my own frustrations with Jess' writing.

Cannot express how disinterested I am in seeing traumatized characters "reconcile" with their canonically shitty parental figures.

[rederiswrites]

I probably don't have to even say this but this has turned out to be the most "omg Blorbo from my shows" post I could have made. I have no idea who tf 90% of the people in the tags are but you're very passionate about them.

special defense

does this count as anything ???is this art

[unpeeled-human]

im capping it at 59k notes. thats it. shows over everybody

[niyarest]

the amazing digital circus is a show about empathy and what it does to you if you go too long without a support system so the show starts with sympathizing with Pomni (the most empathetic person, easy), ep2 is empathizing with an NPC in a game (no flaws), ep3 is empathizing with a man who has dementia, ep4 is empathizing with someone who annoys you when they're unmasking, ep5 is asking you to empathize with a rich white woman and so on....

so it all works up to the empathy boss - a bush era edgelord millenial trans girl who thinks she's Max from Sam & Max and is inherently unworthy of love

and some people failed the empathy test

[deadsh33p]

Exactly the show is not asking you to forgive her the show is asking to empathize with her those are different things

[snail-speed]

Yeah no just boycott the game at this point

Extra link to thread here.

I can't tell you what to do, but if you're willing to support the victims, consider not playing the game nor buying merch from official sources.

If Qwel is willing to waste the earnings of her IP on legal scares against people whom she knows don't have the financial means to fight her frivolous threats, then it's clear that she's the one to blame for the current decline of the game.

I should also point out that bot activity has spiked ever since Joji posted that tweet earlier. Notably over at Twitter, but over at Reddit (where I'm the most active) I got a DM from a certain burner/bot account that was attempting to perform platform manipulation a few weeks ago.

All victims wanted was for Qwel to take accountability. All the community wanted was for Qwel to take accountability. All the game needed to keep chugging along and continue to be a phenomenon was for Qwel to take accountability. Literally why the fuck are we doing this.

[raye14402]

Okay things are definitely getting worse regarding Qwel's shitty actions. Joji, a former staff member has received a cease and desist. Qwel may be attempting to silence others who've spoken out against her besides Joji, but since I don't have Twitter, I wouldn't know. I saw someone else post about it and decided to spread the word.

Running your reputation and potential financial future into the ground like this at 21-22 is fucking ridiculous, Qwel. Get your shit together and own up to your goddamn actions. Do better before you ruin more people's lives.

imagining someone in the world making use of my 4pm on a monday doodles is sick as hell

People on twitter are acting like Artfight is more about getting free art from big artists you like by attacking them and less about appreciating original characters (which have been relentlessly bullied by almost every community for years now) and its getting annoying so heres your reminder that you should be drawing oc designs you like and nobody is obligated to attack you or at all

[artistformerlyknownasbutttrumpet]

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!!!

[cactusringed]

But seriously though. Learning to draw fat people will make you a much better artist. Understanding how skin and fat behaves and folds in certain poses, and being able to adapt complex poses to fit a fat body (as usually references are with thin models) will help you TREMENDOUSLY. Drawing fat being properly affected by gravity will aid you in ALL figure drawing in the future. Like if you have any sort of interest in drawing humanoid figures (AND furries) you really ought to learn how to draw fat of all kind.

a week into artfight i would like to give out the following reminders: it is okay if you thought you were going to participate but ended up not having time. it is fine if you started out enthused and then lost steam. you do not owe anyone revenges. you are not 'behind' and you are not letting anybody down. it is a silly little game for fun. do not forget this.
