Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!

This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!

{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}

I noticed in the comments that some people can’t see the thread, so I took screenshots for y'all!

More will come in reblogs, since tumblr has an image limit

I get annoyed when people downplay Helen's beauty, actually. I've seen people saying the double casting for Helen and Clytemnestra in that movie makes it so much more interesting, when it... really doesn't feel like it. You cannot strip Helen's divine beauty when it is the sole catalyst for everything that has happened to her. You cannot say "oh Helen wasn't actually beautiful, she was just —" because it simply isn't that. Helen was the most beautiful. Helen suffered for being the most beautiful. Trying to basically erase that is erasing a major part of Helen's character. And no you cannot replace her either, you cannot say "oh x person was actually just as beautiful as her, but she —" because Helen. Was. The. Most. Beautiful. It is integral to her character that she was the most beautiful. However, her being the most beautiful does not mean other women were not beautiful either, which is what some of you cannot seem to understand, and that too is also incredibly odd. Penelope does not need to be as beautiful as Helen to be beautiful. Clytemenstra does not need to be as beautiful as Helen to be beautiful. The way you all seem to subconsciously think other women are immediately unattractive simply because they are not as attractive as an outlier is odd.

“it’s also good to learn that life isn’t fair!” i don’t WANT children to accept unreasonable discipline from adults!! i don’t WANT children to expect the adults in their lives to punish at random and ignore their explanations!! the world isn’t fair but we could sure work to make it fairer

So I had this half lucid dream where I was swimming in a lake with my crush and his friends and we climbed up onto this very low dock that dipped just a little below the water. I thought “Oh I want to hold a water animal!” and what I WANTED was a dolphin, but my brain couldn’t quite conjure the image of a dolphin, nor could I recall the word “dolphin”.

So after much thought as to what a dolphin looked like, a giant banana with floppy banana peel dog ears, banana peel fins, and two beady black eyes hauled itself into my lap from the waters of the lake.

And I remember thinking “... Now wait... something is not quite right with this...”

I sat looking it over for a moment until I realised, “Oh I forgot a tail!” so when I looked down, the creature had a fish tail, and I was Quite Proud of how well I had recalled what a dolphin looked like from memory, and it deserved to be drawn:

And I remember

thinking “… Now wait… something is

not quite right with this…”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

What conservatives are DESPERATELY trying to keep from you is that they are too late. You can live a happy, successful life as a trans person now.

I don’t even mean some vague notion of “trans joy” I mean you can make it. You can be a young trans person who grows into a middle aged trans person who gets to be a wrinkly old trans person.

Even if you didn’t get to be a trans kid more and more kids are getting to be trans. They exist right now! They will also grow up to be trans adults and we get to be the ones to show them what that looks like. We get to pave the path that SO many people fought to forage

One year ago, trans women held an iconic topless protest outside the Scottish Parliament. I love it when trans women hold topless demonstrations. If they're arrested, the state must admit they're women. If they aren't, it exposes the obvious contradictions of defining trans women as legally male.

Now, a year later, Parliament has its first two transgender members, one of whom represents JK Rowling in Edinburgh. We can't attribute this momentum solely to the protest, but the direct action seems to have galvanized a new political movement of trans people across Scotland.

rich people should not be allowed to access, collect, modify or wear ancient artifacts as fashion statements. they're historical pieces that belong in public domains & should remain accessible to everyone. this especially applies to colonial artifacts & jewellery. end of discussion.

[shadeslayer]

every now n then i think about how native americans as human beings just dont exist in like 99% of mainstream media. in movies or tv shows or books or video games or you know even in porn like we just arent people. when theres a native character theyre like a wild west indian. like truly to ppl we all died back in the 1900s.

[probuccalfat]

why do so many freaks go right to “there should be exams or tests before you have kids” when the real solution is better social services, robust infant and child development education that is accessible both financially and schedule/distance accommodating, and resources throughout any stage of a child’s life. genuine question like did you think about any social development before going straight to eugenics

Because Tumblr is very English speaking and some ppl like France a little too much I just want to remind you of a few things:

- France abolished the Code Noir 2 months ago. That law project that said hey you can enslave, mutilate, kill, cross breed, etc. black people at will bc they're not people they're property ? Yeah. Abolished 2 months ago. We are in July 2026.

- the last human zoo closed its doors in 1994 in France due to social pressure. Not bc they were running out of business, no. Ppl still visited that place until it closed its doors. No, it was bc (black) French people were fed up. That human zoo was specialized in displaying black (presumed Congolese) people in fake huts in enclosures, for white entertainment.

- now while this might no longer be the case, when I was growing up, I went to a French school (as in. It was an international French School w the French flag n all) and the way we were taught French geography was that France has the biggest and largest access to the sea in the world. And they'd show us a map of France and its colonies around the world. It's all occupied indigenous lands. I don't know if they still teach that. I hope not. But they absolutely did until I graduated high school in 2017. Again, I write this on July 21st 2026, for the record.

Anyways that's all I have for now. Y'all don't hate France enough. Y'all need to hate France more.

"making proshots accessible will ruin ticket sales" meanwhile starkid straight up dropped a digital ticket for a show that is Currently Running and i wouldn't be surprised if More people bought tickets as a result

"some people use terms like guy, dude, girlie, sis, queen, man, etc gender neutrally" and "terms like those can make trans and nonbinary people uncomfortable regardless of intent" are two statements that can exist at the same time

I use dude/man gender neutrally, it's just the way that I talk and those around me talk and has nothing to do with gender. my friend uses girl/girlypop/queen gender neutrally. but I also acknowledge that it makes some people uncomfortable and I try to stop if they say it makes them feel bad! my friend knows that using girl/queen makes me dysphoric and avoids using them for me! both things can be true at once and we are human beings with a wide emotional range and nuance for language
