Emi Koyama has passed. 🥀

[genderkoolaid]

Extremely sad to see.

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 Emi considered it a historical document and she wrote a very good self-critique in 2008 (included in the document) on the subject of the Manifesto, white feminism, and the lack of inclusion of trans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.

Hey guys I made a pride flag for when your gender is nobody else's fucking business! Check it out!

[flagellant]

happy one year anniversary to this post getting marked as "potentially mature content" and then never leaving content review when i appealed. tumblr's own default loading graphic is considered by their own tos "potentially sexual" it seems.

@support you got any explanations for how this post got flagged? or why it never got reviewed? or what mature content might potentially be happening? believe me i am ALL ears

[flagellant]

it's 2026 and this post is officially no longer "potentially mature" and is just "mature". so: either tumblr's own default loading graphic is now confirmed to be explicitly sexual and pornographic

or the concept of a pride flag is considered to be inappropriate for 13 year olds.

happy pride 2026. here's a pride flag for when corporate interests of a site run by dogshit transphobes, handwringing pearlclutchers, and "powerless" "allies" tell you that pride and your gender is no one else's fucking business:

When I was in undergrad, there was a time when I had classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I would I work on MWF. While there was that one week I had to take off from work to write my final essays, in general I had better time management skills on the times when I had to work part-time while going to school than when I decided to just not work at all and focus on school.

I think I having more free time just let me procrastinate for too long. But I also think doing manual labor in between reading and analyzing texts relaxes you.

Adam "TheBrometheus" Lane Smith is a Marriage and Family Therapist and self-described "author, expert, and media personality" who makes his living off of selling coaching and courses based in attachment types theory.

I cannot find any actual scientific backing for this claim that "you are overusing some parts of your brain and underusing others," or any evidence for the methods he provides here. Importantly, "left brain vs right brain" is bullshit (you use both sides of your brain for all tasks) and I do not trust the brain science advice of someone who thinks its true.

I mean. Seriously. "If you are worn out by heavy emotional tasks, go to the gun range????????" Or martial arts? Where is the evidence that "something visceral" (which means what exactly) is what helps with emotional burnout, and why are his only two suggestions for that "do something violent" as opposed to like. Skydiving, or getting into running? Also, if we're supposed to be doing the "opposite" (again, defined by what) of what is burning us out (what if its multiple things? seems like a pretty obvious thing to bring up) then why would the solution to creative burnout be to engage in stories of a different genre, which would... also be using the "creative parts of our brain"? Why would genre matter if this is about brain parts?

This seems to me like pop neuroscience that just sounds true, and is banking on the reality that burnout (which is caused by many different things for different people) isn't cured by going on vacation. That isn't because of how your brain is being used or not used, it is because we live in Real Actual Hell (capitalist imperialist modernity) and even if you can get the rest you need to have some positive effect on your burnout, that shit is then negated by returning to the environment that burned you out. Because of the Real Actual Hell of it all. And like, yes, obviously if you are constantly doing one thing every day and its draining the life out of you, having Other Things you do that you enjoy and give you energy and stimulation will feel good and be helpful. That can be true without any of the shit he's saying being true.

Classic pop pseudoscience takes a real problem, and real things that some people find genuinely helpful, and then creates a theory that ties the two together with a sprinkling of actual (often outdated or decontextualized) science, and all of that makes people feel like it must be grounded in scientific truth. Do not trust the health advice of random people on Xitter saying shit with confidence.

@hyperlexichypatia I know you talk a lot about shitty brain science, I'd be curious if you have anything to say on this.

[shnowyfox]

it would be so awesome

it would be so cool

[shnowyfox]

ig since this is getting some amount of attention i'll also use this post to educate about the problem to the best of my ability (if anyone wants to chip in about it be my guest im certainly not the most qualified). and yes i get yall are upset about the porn bots but this isn't about bots this is about our sisters being harassed and threatened and having their accounts wrongly terminated. 2 years ago The CEO of Tumblr continuously terminated a trans woman and her alts and then continued to harass her on Twitter, threatening to call the cops if she continued to dispute the wrongful terminations of her blogs. Threatened to call A Person With A Gun to her home over an "explode him with hammers" type post. Trans women have been a continuous target for unjust termination by Tumblr's moderation staff regardless of their blog's content for years, and have failed to step in against users who harass trans women for a long ass time.

funnily enough kym has like the most complete and comprehensible coverage of the ceo's little stunt that i've found so far. link to their article

An animated like button is not enough to excuse the mountains of bullshit they put trans women through on this site.

There has been over the years a proliferation of MRA rhetoric about family courts as an example of 'anti male biases/ misandry' in society. These arguments are based on nothing other than lies and vibes that are easily absorbed as under the conditions of patriarchy it is hardly difficult to convince people that women are evil privileged bitches who live life on easy mode.

This idea is, in simple terms, absolute nonsense that persists for no reason other than misogyny.

It has been shown time and time again before this UK article + study that family courts are institutionally biased against women despite what most people believe. A woman who alleges abuse against her ex partner is MORE likely to lose her case and access to kids then those who don't. (1) Claims of 'parental alienation' further compound this (2). Especially, as these legal processes are often used by male abusers as a way to maintain access to their ex female partners in order to further harm, abuse, and degrade them (3).

Family courts are not bias against fathers or men, they are not stacked in favour of the mother, and they certainly don't just let women 'take the kids and money and run'. They, like all major institutions formed under the conditions of patriarchy, are deeply misogynistic in their functions, treatments, and outcome.

MRAs lie. Misandry isn't real.

[meangirlnurse]

there is no nursing shortage btw. just a shortage of nurses willing to work under the terrible, unsafe conditions created by capitalists 👍

[meangirlnurse]

how to solve the nursing shortage:

mandatory patient-to-nurse ratio laws modeled after the laws in California

pay nurses more

🤷‍♀️

[meangirlnurse]

perpetuating the myth of a "nursing shortage" only benefits the healthcare administrators fucking us over, giving them an excuse to claim that they can't help but short staff the hospitals because there just aren't nurses to fill those roles

nurses literally make up a full 1% of the US population. there is no nursing shortage

[meangirlnurse]

3. also unions

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

[lastoneout]

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

The first LGBT group I ever joined asked me to leave because they didn’t consider asexual to count as queer. It wasn’t visible enough to them. And more than that, they were concerned that I was a CisHet man only using the label of asexual to sneak into what was meant to be a safe space

Now that I’m out and transitioned, I still run up against this suspicion that I’m just infiltrating spaces and making them dangerous for the people they’re meant to protect

I’m tired of being seen as a predator when I’m just trying to exist
