a doxx just went up for L / transgender voices project. it is faked by transgender voices project herself. I was aware of this ahead of time because she could not stop jokerposting. do not trust any doxx you see of L

I have been working on a big proof to get out ahead of this plan with the parody blog, and that is going up in a few minutes. I kept this information under wraps so we could drop the whole proof at once without her deleting evidence. if the doxx is of a real person at all, it is not the L of transgender voices project

[mousidy]

the proof has been released

it shows where the person behind TGVP jokerposted about the fake doxx plan, and it connects together transgender voices project and the blogs sweetrapisteyes and isuggestsexualassault, providing evidence these are all run by the same person

(some links are still currently being added)

[mousidy]

I'd like to point out, by the way, that she uses her blog isuggestsexualassault to pose as a transfem and go around telling people on tumblr they should be raped. not remotely shocking behavior for the person running a blog exclusively for stories of transfems committing sexual assault

[mousidy]

no lie we thought we had more time before she dropped the fake doxxing. this shit is exhausting. the few days where TMVP wasn't posting were bliss, then she came back and I found out about the plan to throw some rando under the bus and I felt a sense of obligation to beat her to the punch and prevent a rando being doxxed and targeted. this shit fucking sucks and she's gonna keep endangering people and eventually I have to say enough is enough and it's not my job to protect people from her and actually take a goddamn break like I've been wanting to

hello trans man on tumblr dot com. i am speaking directly to you right now. Do Not Go Down The Transandrophobia Rabbit Hole. like every other ~ progressively branded ~ vein of transphobia & transmisogyny that came before it, not only will it not save you, and not only will it make you a miserable, hateful person, but most importantly, you will be contributing to the systematic oppression and alienation of trans women in a time where it is suffocating them in literally all walks of life, public and private. you will drive the women in your life away. you will show that you are an unsafe person to be around. it is not cute, it does not describe experiences that we don't already have the words for, and it's preventing you from seeing the systemic causes of the very real threats that are actually affecting you as a trans person.

no, white baby, racism isn’t a valid trauma response.

“The Militarization of the Police Department – Deadly Farce,” an original painting by Richard Williams from “The 20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things of 2014″ in Mad magazine #531, published by DC Comics, February 2015.

[spaceraptor]

Here’s the original, for comparison. And here’s a bit more about the artist and why he created the piece above for MAD Magazine.

[pennamerequired]

Richard Williams on Norman Rockwell:

“For most people, he was the painter of ‘America,’” he added. “But even he said his vision was what he wanted ‘America’ to be. It was a mythical ‘America,’ a place where all people were decent, honest and full of good will. His work was full of gentle humor that made you feel a little better; even if you knew it wasn’t really true… you just wished it was. My parody of Rockwell’s painting simply says, ‘That myth is dead.’”

[1-420-666-6969]

I think it’s relevant to add that even Norman Rockwell chose to leave his cushy job at the Saturday Evening Post because he wanted to make artwork that was more radical. The Post had rules that wouldn’t allow him to do artwork depicting black people as anything other than servants. The job paid really well and that was a huge reason he continued on. But he wanted change that and so he moved to Look magazine.

A lot of people know about the very first piece he did when he left the post which was the The Problem We All Live With which depicts Ruby Bridges walking to school under federal protection.

But I don’t think enough people know about Murder in Mississippi which depicts three real civil rights activists who were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and sherriffs. The magazine ran the sketch instead of the finished piece because they felt it had a more striking statement to accompany the article. Norman Rockwell would finish that version after publication which is here

Rockwell’s legacy is sanitized because he decided to maintain his job at the Post for so long despite his frustrations with not being able to express himself. The civil rights movement was just his final straw to change what he could with the little time he had left. Look magazine received a lot of hate for Rockwell painting these as well.

Another favorite piece of mine is The Right to Know which depicts an integrated populace questioning their government. In 1968, the year of Vietnam and the year the Fair Housing Act only just got signed in months prior:

But I think it’s important to include the caption Rockwell originally wrote for the piece as well. I think it represents how a 74 year old Rockwell felt about the America he believed in and the people in it:

We are the governed, but we govern too. Assume our love of country, for it is only the simplest of self-love. Worry little about our strength, for we have our history to show for it. And because we are strong, there are others who have hope. But watch us more closely from now on, for those of us who stand here mean to watch those we put in the seats of power. And listen to us, you who lead, for we are listening harder for the truth that you have not always offered us. Your voice must be ours, and ours speaks of cities that are not safe, and of wars we do not want, of poor in a land of plenty, and of a world that will not take the shape our arms would give it. We are not fierce, and the truth will not frighten us. Trust us, for we have given you our trust. We are the governed, remember, but we govern too.

[batboyblog]

I’d just like to briefly say even Rockwell’s seemingly feel good Americana pieces are often more political than people today realize for example

likely the most famous picture of a Thanksgiving dinner ever painted and you see it all the time.

What you may not know is its actual title

“Freedom From Want” it’s a part of a series of 4, including this now famous meme

“Freedom of Speech” These paintings were illustrations of FDR’s “Four Freedoms” speech where The President laid out a vision that would become what the Allies were fighting for in WWII universal human rights that became a part of the UN charter.

So this homey American Thanksgiving scene was also a bold statement that no one in the world should go hungry

Rockwell’s work was very political, he used that Americana small town America vibe of his work to make what he was saying feel very close to the viewers he was trying to reach and also his optimism of the human spirt but for sure not blind to the need to build a better world.

The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Easy carb add on:

Cookie

Fruit (canned or fresh)

Chips

Piece of bread

Popcorn

Crackers

Easy protein add on:

Nuts

Spoonful of nut butter

Cheese

Roasted chickpea snacks

Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)

Small canned sausages or similar

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sugar in there.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

It can be easy to confuse the two, but you don't actually "wish you were more disabled", you wish your disability was taken seriously and was properly accommodated and that you had access to the support and resources you need - and that desire is so valid. You deserve more. But the sad truth is that no level of disability actually guarantees a sufficient level of support. So you have to work to separate your very understandable desire for more support from the incorrect assumption that other disabled people are consistently receiving what you aren't. All of us are getting fucked over in this society, and no group of disabled people actually has it easy.
