Harmitage is on the scene!

I post things I am practicing (mostly digital art.) Be kind, rewind, chat a while. I am overly opinionated and in conflict betwixt loving everyone and her villain arc.

”But why do you need Pride Month?”

I remember my parents and their friends and family always taking opportunities to say homophobic stuff, especially when schools teaching about the LGBTQ was brought up. My parents would make me skip school on IDOHOBIT day and if the school was doing an event for pride month.

But there were days when my class taught about it, and it gave me a jumping point for when I eventually did my own research.

[harmitage]

There is something funny af to me about how the great unifying event, the world cup. Is being squandered by America.

While all is Gucci within cohosts and resented neighbours to America; Mexico and Canada.

America fails to fill hotels, seats and flights. They can't do grass right and they can't be dignified enough to let Iranian sportsmen relax in-between games.

Meanwhile trumps birthday parade and display of wannabe dictators power was far more pressing and worthy of the resources, to only be enjoyed by one egoistic maniac.

America... Guys.... Impeach the fat fuck so you can rebuild what little international graces you have left...and Oh boy are they barely a thing to begin with.

I'm 36 and I feel 80

I am soooo fucking tired.

I've cleared beaches and woodlands of human rubbish.

I've taken part in relief efforts caused by poor government foresight.

I've clear debris from natural disasters in foreign lands.

I've made damn sure that every animal I've witnessed hurt or sick has had a fighting chance to recover

I've stood, yelled, cried and partied at humanitarian rallies.

I have fought, I have supported and I have tried and tried to make this a world I can be proud of when all I wanted to do was wipe our miserable species off this planet, because I genuinely believe nature is better without us.

Despite all that. Our governments don't learn from history, they don't listen, they keep to their hatreds and bigotry and let it control them.

While we are out here breaking bones and splitting skin to make change and peace happen, it's always out fucking governments that obliterate our every effort.

I am sooo fucking tired. I do t know how much fight I have left in me.

If we can't change for the better then I don't want to be a part of society any longer.

...

Fuck it.

[harmitage]

Like actually tell me please.

What is the point of anything. Why pour all our energy into making a better world?

Why do it when some prick in a suit can self serve himself another few thousand bucks by talking shit about dick in a room with other suited bastard's and sign more bigotry and damage into action by waving a pen around a bit?!

What the actual hell are we doing?!

Transphobia is about to be signed into law in the UK. We can fight this.

I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the Mass Lobby at Parliament on June 25th, 11am-4pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality

Last year we broke the record for an LGBT+ mass lobby of Parliament. Will you help us break it again? Join us on 25th June 2026 to demand be

The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It becomes statutory guidance in the UK by the end of June.

Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or don’t pass too well.

A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Ask your MP to:

Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate, and use their free vote on the EHRC Code of Practice.

Support any motions rejecting the EHRC guidance. As of June 4th, Labour MP Nadia Whittome has submitted a prayer motion - Early Day Motion 240.

Write to Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities about our concerns

Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.

I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.

It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:

Worried about what to say? Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. You will also get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.

Money issues? Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.

Got a refusal or no response from your MP?  Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if they’re already in Parliament. Even if they don’t, they’re made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.

Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:

Organisations can’t provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination. e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, men’s rugby group including trans men (12.68).

Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee. If you’re a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from women’s bathrooms if you’re perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a ‘third space’ bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)

Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).  A women’s only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).

Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ‘lesbian’, and therefore no longer have legal protections if they’re discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).

Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.

I have also made a PDF printout of QR codes for the government petition, email your MP tool, and mass lobby link to pass around your communities. DM me and I'll send it to you.

[harmitage]

I guess I'm not working on the 25th...

Please give it a read if you are a prisoner to the UK bigoted ways.

This is the kinda romance I need in my life.

Yeah on head, scowling silence and all tension.

I get heart palpitations just thinking about it

[harmitage]

Trump again. reaffirming climate denial by getting rid of the proof thats its happening. This very thing is why girl scouts died. Trump is once more killing people.

[harmitage]

Ngl

I resent being intersex and the problems it's caused me.

I hate that transitioning is a life saving medical procedure for me. It kinda stole some of the agency I felt about coming out of the closet.

I love being me.

Sometimes that love is hard to maintain.

I'm still gonna do it even if I want to not exist some days.

Fight me.

[veguinsky]

Had to celebrate the finale by drawing Dina as Pomni and María as Jax ❤️💙 Hope you guys like it! Which one is your favorite?✨ You can see the bikini version here 👏

[harmitage]

Hyperfixations? Bah! Pull up a fricken chair and listen a second!

Who cares if you like a thing to the point of obsession?!?!

May I remind you sir madam or thems that no scientist, mathematician, politician, artist or juggler ever became what they were without that very obsession!

Hyperfixations? Let that bitch consume you, you sexy, smart beasts you!

THE LIKE BUTTON IS GAY FOR PRIDE MONTH??????

Edit; you need to reblog the pride tags for it to work on reblogs (On web at least) (for me you do, may be a me problem)

[harmitage]

Oh you bet your booty badonkabutt it is! Happy pride forever!

[harmitage]

The rhetoric around trans people is unhinged on news media… SO

I think we should start leaning into their worries in ways thats way worse than they ever thought.

Going by a comment about moon eggs… I think the trans community should all start acting like we are moon worshipping cultists trying to bring about the great egg crackening of the moon.

Let the doomsayers spin tales of the end times. Let conservatives have to buy another night light so they can sleep free of the boogymen we are.

May they all stare up at the moon at night with telescopes checking for cracks.

If they want monsters, then I say give it to them. We are not friends, they do not deserve our good graces.

Just a smol reminder. No matter how XX or XY you feel. There is a solid chance you are neither of those. Go learn about the many many MANY variations of chromosomes, learn a little more about yourselves. Who knows, maybe even YOU may not be as cis as you think.

Change.org - Petition To Hire 1,000,000 People To Put Their Fingers In The Shoot Hole Of Peoples’ Guns So They Can’t Shoot Them

[mycatisnamedfrank]

It’s still gonna shoot… And they’re gonna lose a finger

[bidoof]

No. The finger blocks the bullet. We can do this

[domozillla-deactivated20181216]

This is a gun we’re talking about. The projectile is fired using an explosion, not by compressed air of a toy gun or the elastic forces of a sling shot. People would be lucky if they only lost their finger.

[bidoof]

The finger blocks it

[dildomuncher3000]

The finger won’t block it - the shaft is only there for keeping the bullet straight, all the propulsion happens behind the bullet. The bullet would rip through the finger, not that many would actually fit without the victim being a child, and beyond.

[bidoof]

The bullet would go forward a little and then hit the finger and stop it’s not that hard to understand

[fifty-percent-possessed-deactiv]

People are going to lose their hands. Go watch Mythbusters. They did an episode on this, the hand fucking exploded.

[hungwy]

No, the bullet would start to go but stop at the finger. Thats basic physics. Also hands dont explode normally they did something wrong.

[blipblerp]

Why the dingleknockers would you even consider sticking your finger in the barrel of a loaded gun?? the amount of force propelling the bullet at that close of range would shatter the finger at the very least; this is a petition for 1,000,000 people to loose the use of their hands. If a bullet explodes the back of a persons skull when they shoot it in their mouth it sure as hell will explode a finger.

[gorps]

No the finger would stop it

[joryboi]

I’m loving the idiocy of this post.

Ppl with brains: ummm finger go boom…

Others: no bullet stop. U no kno fisics >:V

[foulserpent]

no the finger would stop it

[indianworiorprincess-blog]

You guy who think the bullet would stop at the finger have never shot a gun and can volunteer to it their fingers in the barrel of my 9 mil and I’ll I’ll the trigger and see if it will stop the bullet. Dumdasses

These fuckwits are back again? How’s it going, Nine Finger Nasty? About to turn into an Eight Finger Egghead?

@meatswitch @raptorific this is a US based site. US Americans are known for two things- obsession with guns and incredible stupidity. Had this been anyone else, I’d say they’re trying to fuck with us. But with US Americans, about 70% of them are dead serious about mangling their hands trying to stop a bullet.

[meatswitch-deactivated20231107]

I’ve had four years to think about it and now I think the finger would stop it

[gorps]

I just tested it with my buddy. It stops the bullet

[several-large-churros]

….Mythbusters WELDED A METAL SPIKE into the barrel of a gun to obstruct it, something heaps stronger than a human finger (and sealed the barrel better with the filler metal used to fuse the metal spike into place and prevent the explosive gases from escaping) but even that didn’t stop the bullet from doing damage.

[gorps]

It’s because they didn’t use a finger like I did

[harmitage]

Men get decent pockets in their clothes because mens clothing is so creatively dull that having pockets carrying things couldn't fuck up the aesthetic any further.
