online transfem spaces are sometimes kind of bad at distinguishing whether something's a Transfem Experience or a Traumatized Women In General experience, but all in all that's still better than the general public's attitude of "well if it's not a Normative Cishetero White Woman Experience it's not a real Woman Experience at all"

[tpwrtrmnky]

"there are a lot of similarities between trans women's behavioral tendencies and those of traumatized cis women" isn't some random idea i'm pulling out of the ether btw it's. a pretty standard transfeminist observation. like. if you find that idea strange and unfamiliar it's time to touch book instead of just digging yourself deeper into discourse

UBI needs to happen. via antiwork

[hasufin]

I think most importantly, it would give us the leverage to say “no”. To walk away from bad jobs and abusive managers. To refuse to work in unsafe environments. To demand better pay.

To demand better, because the options are no longer “suck it up” or “die”.

[tehamelie]

The counter-argument: Not having UBI is in the interests of those in power who want to do anything to the people they are in power over in order to remain in power.

If the greed of the few should come before the need of the many.

Seen a few posts on this and thought I'd put in my two cents.

Whilst it's correct that tumblr has no control over the ID thing, what they do have control over is their mature content filters. If you weren't before, now is the time to get really fucking insistent that they fix their extremely broken mature content filters.

Politely.

"Dear tumblr,

The combination of the new ID verification requirements, and the extremely janky mature content filters, means that tumblr is now unusable for me. Any posts that get tagged in error as mature will be completely blocked out, and I won't be able to see them.

It would be helpful if you had a function that allows the userbase to report incorrectly applied maturity filters for staff to remove, so that I can continue to enjoy my favourite site. Otherwise, I will be forced to leave the site until the ID legislation in my country is repealed/reversed."

Ta-da! That easy. Feel free to copy that text if you want. Feel free to mention you won't be going through ID verification due to concerns about the security of your data. Expand on it however you want, I'm not your parent.

But this is an opportunity to present a solution to something that's been pissing us off for a while now, and it gives us, the userbase, a better opportunity to combat report bombing of trans folks and black folks. I think we're morally obligated to push for this.

We got the reblogs rolled back. Time to leverage that unity for this as well.

With Tumblr starting to roll out age verification, it feels like a good time to bring this up.

I went to my app store and turned off automatic updates back when the staff tried to roll out their reblogs bullshit last month or whenever that was. The age verification is only in the UK and Brazil for now, but it'll probably spread.

Go to the app store and turn off automatic updates. Do it now. I will probably never update my app again. The people making these decisions can't be trusted and when the "age verification" database inevitably gets hacked, they will have some limp excuse and keep on doing it.

[doodle-dust]

Friendly reminder that age verification is NOT safe, i repeat

THIS SHIT IS NOT SAFE!

Also on age verification: I have been on this website since 2011. Unless you think I started blogging at age 2, you KNOW I'm an adult.

#the fact that 'can prove access to an online account at least 12 years old' or even 'account to be verified is itself fully 18 years old'#AREN'T accepted methods of age verification is such a telling sign of what the real purpose of age-gating laws is:#data harvesting and deanonymization and the buildout of state-controllable ways to restrict both content and internet access itself en masse (via @shinelikethunder )

Every Website right now: Give us a scan of your driver's license or be banished. It's for safety.

Every Website for the last 10 years: Oopsies we had another massive data breach! Tee-hee!

[wonderidolhaze]

I don’t know how many people are going to see this blog, but I need you people to know that you need to fight against tumblr’s age verification like we did the reblog update.

whether you’re in the uk or Brazil doesn’t matter, age verification affects everyone.

fuck tumblr staff.

[eyecantread]

Fuck "age verification" and everyone who supports it. What websites and fanfics I view are between me and God
