If you see the quote "I refuse to share my body with a man who wouldn't defend it politically" or any variation of it floating around the internet — it was Kat Blaque who originally said it and she would really appreciate it if people gave her proper credit for it but it's gone viral on a lot of different platforms and most of the people sharing it don't know it's from her or choose not to credit her on purpose.

Like I just know terfs are going to be parroting it pretending it wasn't said by a black trans woman about herself & her life.

what is HAPPENING

[moonglade-poetess]

Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree:

Please just use Sparknotes if you're going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAI shit doesn't actually know what's important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I'm begging.

[the-barefoot-hatter]

oh my god, there's whole books series that ALREADY do that. Have they never heard of the No Fear series published by Sparknotes? It puts a plain everyday english translation on the opposite page from the original text, plus character lists with descriptions and helpful commentary.

stop using AI for things that already exist!

Ashley also known as squidkid1111 took their own life after facing bullying from the cosplay community due to them being a cosplayer of color. Rest in peace.

[uptownlowdown]

a reminder that racism in fandom/nerd/hobby spaces has real life consequences, and is not something you can simply filter or block out of existence. people whine about “serious” topics ruining fandom, meanwhile Black fans are routinely belittled and harassed simply for existing in these spaces.

rest in eternal power, ash. i’m so sorry this happened to you.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Also, because they were* a Black cosplayer. Not just "of color", they're not synonymous. Say Black, please. Harassment for cosplaying while Black comes from nonblack fans of color, too. Many Black cosplayers will tell you of the baffling experience.

*correction: I heard they went by she/they but the post says they. My apologies.

We need to start talking more about Congo (DRC). I literally never see posts about it anymore.

Remember to:

Avoid buying new tech if you can

Try to buy refurbished if you absolutely need to replace something

Boycott vapes if you haven’t already

Hold tech companies accountable for this

[librarycards]

here (and this is only from a cursory search) is what tech overconsumption is fueling:

Apple accused by DR Congo of using conflict minerals

The tech giant says it "strongly disputes" the claims and it is "deeply committed to responsible sourcing" of minerals.

Humanitarian Crisis in Congo Is the Sinister Underbelly of “Green Tech”

The “green tech” industry is reproducing the same colonial and extractive patterns that got us to the climate crisis.
