Their father has been detained by ICE and they need help getting him back especially since he's their family's primary source of income! They also need money to help support their family so please help and commission them if you can!

There is no such thing as an illegal human being and if you think it's a scam please watch the full video!

Emi Koyama has passed. 🥀

[genderkoolaid]

Extremely sad to see. She was apparently only 51.

Folks, if you don't know who Emi Koyama was, you should. Her website (eminism.org, which is a delightful pun) has a ton of her work entirely for free.

You can read the Transfeminist Manifesto in particular here. Emi considered it a historical document and she wrote a very good self-critique in 2008 (included in the document) on the subject of the Manifesto, white feminism, and the lack of inclusion of trans and genderqueer people who aren't trans women. I highly encourage everyone who wants to involve themselves in transfeminism to read her work, not because it is perfect, but because I do think Emi Koyama's Manifesto represents the best intentions for transfeminism: the desire to challenge cissexism, to take activism seriously and compassionately, and a commitment to being open and honest about where we fall short and how we can do better.

I really appreciate this quote from her, which I hadn't seen before, on the subject of feminism needing to "fit in" trans people:

Cis feminists do not own feminism. We don't need to "fit trans people into feminist theory"; we simply need to challenge cissexism in feminist movements and theories. Trans people do not need to be explained by feminist theory; we need to start from the fact that trans people exist and matter.

And it would be a crime to not mention how hard she fought specifically for women of color, to challenge racism and imperialism (white/western and non-white/non-western) in feminist spaces and in general, as well as her intersex activism, and far more. She had such a drive to contribute to, engage with, and push for more and better feminist discourse.

You will be remembered fondly, Emi Koyama. Thank you for all your work and for all your life.

[genderkoolaid]

Wanna add to this post that Emi was heavily involved with a local sex worker peer support space, Aileen's, up to her death, and before her death she explicitly refused financial assistance for herself and asked people to support Aileen's as much as they could:

as of July 30 they've only raised 53% of their goal, & they could also use clothing donations & other supplies if you are local:

Donate to Keep Aileen’s Open in Emi's Memory, organized by Madison Zack-Wu

Please celebrate Emi's memory by keeping her organization Aileen’s open. Emi, c… Madison Zack-Wu needs your support for Keep Aileen’s Op

Emi, co-founder and co-director at Aileen’s, beloved friend and sex trade, trans, intersex, queer, disability, gender-based violence, and feminist advocate extraordinaire, passed away on Wednesday, June 10th 2026. In her final days, Emi was surrounded by her incredible and loving community and chosen family. Help us continue her life's work and keep her organization open and serving our community. Emi was the driving force that holds together Aileen’s–a peer-led community organizing and hospitality space by and for women living and working along Pac Highway. And, if you knew Emi, you would not be surprised to hear that her work at Aileen’s is a massive undertaking, because her dedication to serving the community meant she did more than humanly possible in a 24 hour day. It is crucial that Aileen’s continues to serve women who are experiencing homelessness, criminalization, and violence. Since 2019, Aileen’s has provided hospitality space, non-judgemental and accepting community, peer support, resources, harm reduction advocacy, and outreach services. Led by 6 part-time peer staff, Aileen’s aids community dealing with issues of poverty, criminal legal, CPS, substance use, domestic violence, police harassment and brutality, sexual assault and harassment, racism, transphobia, and more. Countless people rely on Aileen’s for necessities like food, supplies, showers, clothing, and a safe place to rest. Emi has been essential in Aileen’s ability to serve the community, and Aileen's was Emi's most cherished project. Without her or other support, the organization is at risk of shutting down. Weeks ago, when asked what all Emi does for Aileen’s, co-director Leslie said “Oh, she does everything.” It is hard to describe “everything”, but Emi handled: all grant writing and reporting, administration responsibilities, fiscal sponsor management, coalition building, court and political advocacy, resource accrual for survivor support, safety planning, and training/education for staff and community. Aileen's, and all of Emi's past work, is about liberation and survival under a system that has left so many without. With your donation, Aileen’s can increase pay and hire more peer staff, transfer daily operations, buy essential supplies like food, clothes, harm reduction items, and take care of basic costs not covered by grants. [...] *While $$$ donations are essential, Aileen’s is in serious need of donated clothing and some other supplies. Please contact donate@ (aileens.org) to coordinate making clothing donations and see our wishlist at our website.

you can read an interview with Emi where she talks about Aileen's here. if you want to honor her life, support the community she poured that life into!

Let bi girls unapologetically call themselves bi and talk about their boyfriend without sacrificing their queerness

Let bi boys unapologetically call themselves bi and talk about their girlfriend without sacrificing their queerness

Bisexuality is queer, regardless if their attraction/dating habits seem more focused on different genders.

art tips

don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is

I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician

you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind

My wife pointed out to me the other day that apparently most people were literally only taught how to say Sorry and not how to Apologize or even that they are different things so here.

If all you ever do is step 1, not only did you not apologize, but people will rightfully stop believing you and start getting pissed or hurt.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

[uncleromeo]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

[pendragyn]

it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

[triflesandparsnips]

Reblog if your ask box is open.

[clouds-of-wings]

It's probably not JUST from hate asks though, seeing how there are also fewer people who rant in the tags of reblogs than there used to be, likes outnumber reblogs by so much, and tag games have very nearly died out. I think it really does have a lot to do with how social media has changed, as OP has said, to re-enact the old pre-internet division between creator and audience.

I see this on other sites too, for example FB recently got a redesign that made comment sections much less visible and it doesn't indicate anymore if your friends already interacted with a post. It also doesn't put your friends' comments on your timeline anymore. It's a shift from interacting with people you know and also with some pages to being a passive consumer of posts by pages first, and if you're lucky you'll see some stuff your friends are up to...

the continued blood donation bans for gay men is ridiculous. it's discriminatory and an extreme disservice to anyone who relies on donated blood to remain safe and alive, especially considering how many parts of the world continue to face blood shortages.

"but it's because of the increased risk of HIV!!!! because HIV has higher transmission rates for people who have anal sex!!!"

you know who is capable of having anal sex? Anyone with an anus. Anyone of any gender of any sexual orientation with an anus is capable of having anal sex. That is not an exclusive activity to gay men, so it makes it very hard to understand why these screening questions specifically target men who have sex with other men. So perhaps a more appropriate screening question would be "have you engaged in any sexual activity that puts you at high risk for contracting HIV? (unprotected sex, anal sex, etc)". It focuses on specific risk vectors instead of identity and orientation.

(Sexually active gay men are not even necessarily having anal sex. Equating sexual activity to penetrative sex is an inaccurate and incomplete view of sex as a whole, and equating "gay sex" exclusively to the act of penetrative anal sex is queerphobic and transphobic on so many levels it's truly hard to comprehend)

All donated blood is rigorously tested to make sure its safe and doesn't contain any bacteria, viruses or toxins that could be harmful to the recipient. regardless of who it comes from. so to insist that sexually active gay men explicitly can't donate blood remains discriminatory and ridiculous

[tenorstosterone]

I have good news! If you're in the US, the rules got updated in the last few years and screening questions are now gender-neutral, asking about how recently you've had anal sex or new partners. I think Canada is similar, if I remember my last blood donation right.

[gender-incinerator]

I didn't know this had changed in the US too! Yippeeee!!!! Canada has similarly updated these questions in the past few years, and here's the link to Canadian Blood Services eligibility criteria and screening.

Donor eligibility and process Ready to find out if you can donate? Sometimes, due to factors like recent travel or medication, you may need

So please, please please PLEASE donate blood if you can! (I'm no longer able to donate due to chronic illness, and as a former regular blood donor I'm devastated I can't do more to help, but many of you still can!)

I truly hope that countries that continue to enforce these donation bans rescind them, so that as many people as possible have the opportunity to donate safely and without prejudice.
