Please all, at least spread this. It isn't a hard thing to just slap reblog. She's real scared funding won't be met. I love her so much, please help me help her.
maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english
El problema es, como bien has dicho, la accesibilidad y la visibilidad.
Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.
Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.
A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.
La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.
Casi todo esto se puede achacar al imperialismo cultural estadounidense. El inglés es útil para comunicarse con gente de todo el mundo, pero su omnipresencia sirve de barrera para todos los demás idiomas. Quizás habría que reflexionar un poco sobre por qué coño el resto del mundo tiene que tragarse años de clases de inglés para hablar del juego que le gusta en una red social mientras muchos angloparlantes no se dignan ni a meter un texto en un traductor automático y prefieren pasar de largo.
On Monday Nationals MP Alison Penfold introduce this private bill to federal parliament in an attempt to reshape the Sex Discrimination Act to target trans people while claiming not to target trans people

Please help spread this petition far and wide for visibility
The above reactionary bill was made in retaliation towards a trans woman winning a case in federal court against transphobes so now they're accellerating to hurt us all (Giggle Vs Tickle)
Hands off our Protections Our communities are facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years. Right no
Please sign that petition if you can, this bill is worse than it seems. Its primary purpose is to exclude trans women from women's spaces, including bathrooms, prisons, homeless shelters, and sports. It also cements transphobic, intersexist, and acephobic beliefs that are already somewhat present in Australia's law.
It is worth noting that this bill is being pushed by the National party, one of Australia's main right-wing parties. The party currently in power is the Labour party, our biggest left-wing/centrist party. The party pushing for this bill does not have the votes needed to pass it, and thus either needs to convince centrists to agree with them or are doing this to curry favour for the next election or some other goal.
When it comes to the bill itself, they are defining anything relating to one's sex in terms of the sex binary in a way which excludes intersex people in many ways. They also are changing the definition of sexual attraction, and the main change this makes is an exclusion of non-binary people in attraction. However, it is also worded so a trans woman lesbian is considered straight, and their definition also doesn't properly include asexual people. Those wording issues are already present in the original law, however.
They are also explicitly stating that it's okay to discriminate against transfems in women's spaces of any kind, including prisons, bathrooms, homeless shelters, and sports. That is the main change being pushed for.
Keep reblogging this please to help gain attention to the issue! Labor, the majority government, have been especially quiet about this issue while right wing media has pumped out tons of anti-trans political puff pieces while only one Greens member and one Independant member have spoken up!
Email or call your local MP if you can and tell them they need to publically push back and press them on the harm this bills mere existence is causing! Lately Labors silence on issues is not a good one and they are far from being functional enough for the people since doubling down on right wing policy.
A simple reminder: Labor is not your friend, they're bought out and working for someone else
You can also email and call your state member, not just your federal one as if they get enough complaints they may additionally bother the federal MP on your behalf! Make noise at all levels of government!
If you don't know who your member is you can use this link to look up both state and federal members, just use your postcode or suburb to check.
Two counter protest events have been made as Far-Right groups, Such as One Nation, attempt to coordinate across the country!
Magandjin ('Brisbane') on 12th of July at King George Square!
Naarm ('Melbourne') on 4th of July at Parliament House steps!
In the mean time spread the word, make more posts about it all, email or call your MP and tell the community! If you're outside of Australia your reblogs are very valuable!
If you're an ally then you need to get noisy and stand up for trans folk, make sure we're not the only ones talking about it

yandere gf: [digging her nails into her palm] yeah that sounds fine with me
HERES MY 1000000% WRONG BRAINROT THEORY ABOUT THIS GUY BUT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT
I know we've been saying this is Sigurd but like,,, what if this isnt? I keep thinking, they showed us Luxord, Strelitzia, Vali and Xehanort, and they're all characters we know the face of. I know we've seen Sigurd before with the hood and the jacket pretty much almost lines up with his design, but that could also maybe be the uniform of his society?
This might be the KHML brainrot talking but what if this is Brain, and he's simply wearing the same uniform because he is/was in the same society as Sigurd in the end?
(Under the cut as to why I think this is a possibility)
1) the eyes
Notably, on a first glance he looked like he had brown eyes, but its actually central hecterochromia. The centre is gold/brown but the rest of his iris is grey. And guess who has grey eyes?
(His eyes might be a kinda grey-purple colour but that could be down to stylisation but also note, Eraqus does have grey eyes although more blue toned than Brain's) BUT- thinking back to the central hecterochromia, we dont know what happened to Brain during KHML, so maybe something occurred for this to happen?
2) The flow of his hairstyle
The flow of his hairstyle is very similar, if not the same to Brain’s (I did also refer to who is possibly Luxu at the end of UX to get a better look at Brain’s hair, also ignore how messily I threw the images into the canvas)
You may be thinking, hey doesn't KH4 have more wavy hair compared to Brain? Which yes, true, but this is something else that could be drawn down to either stylisation or maybe just Brain's hairstyle has slightly changed over time as its been grown + cut.
3) Facial features
They're eyebrows, noses and mouths look exactly the same plus its funny how we see this guy of all people with a breif smile when we've seen Brain on 2 occasions with the same smile.
4) IDK IM GOING INSANE IM PRETTY CONVINCED THIS IS MY BOY
