I know we always go “haha dude go touch some grass” but no like actually some of you need to disconnect for a bit. Go do something irl. Some of you are getting way too comfy telling people to kill themselves or you think they’re disgusting just because you don’t like them or they like something you dont. Have a chat with your family or friends. Go eat an orange. That’s fucked up to say, man. Dont do that. Block them or whatever. Go lay on your floor or something. Self care.

The way my face looked seeing this message,

Thank you! You know I couldn't keep all this cuteness to myself!

[moonbeeorangeheart]

Queen, you are beautiful❤❤❤. I am sorry if you were forced to post these pictures to prove you are black.

Thank you Nonie!!! Thats v sweet of you.

No one forced me, and I'm not scared of having my face out there. But the fact that someone in our community lied about their race, and now racialized people have to prove they aren’t lying... is really annoying.

Hope your day/night is going well! Thanks again for making me smile.

For anyone wondering, this is amazing enrichment for the animal and a great way to involve guests! The lions aren’t forced to play with the rope if they don’t want to, and these guys (and anyone else who tries this out) have an awesome close up and hands on experience, all without having to come in direct contact with the cat!

This definitely counts as #actually cute. This video is from the San Antonio Zoo, and the lioness’ name is Axelle. As @ordinaryredtail said above, the tug of war interaction is entirely voluntary on her part.

My guess is that the zoo staff did use some positive reinforcement training to teach her how to pick up and pull on the rope at first, because that’s not necessary something a lion would just do on their own. While it’s also probable that she’s rewarded with something tasty did choosing to engage with the members of the public like this, Axelle wouldn’t be engaging if it was a negative experience for her (there aren’t enough snacks in the world to coerce a lion into doing something they find actively distressing). If she didn’t want to participate, she could just walk away.

Some sanctuary and animal rights groups have taken issue with this interaction because they consider it unethical to ask a lion to engage in any “unnatural behavior” “for the benefit of the public,” calling it exploitation. It is worth keeping in mind, however, that learning and engaging in novel behaviors is hugely enriching for animals in human care, and that lions have no concept of exploitation. As long as the lion is not bothered by the presence or noise of the crowd, is not injured or harmed, and is engaging on an entirely voluntary basis, this sort of thing is entirely ethical. It is far safer than any type of interaction where a member of the public is coming into direct context with a big cat, but still allows people to directly experience the sheer strength of a lion up close.

Have you ever been so sick/sad/tired that you had to take all the hairties off your arms?

[woundthatswallows]

god made us mutuals because he knew if we knew each other in real life we would start a cult 

[sunforgrace]

it’s like I DO want to be feminine in the way a man is feminine. if I’m performing feminity I don’t want it to be read as an inherent reflection of my gender and who I am. I don’t want someone to call me ma’am or be called a girl. like. it’s drag. only it can’t be drag for me, because it’s not actually subverting anything, is it? so I’m in this spot where I either cannot allow myself any femininity or I do and accept the consequences of perception. my wearing eyeliner isn’t a subversion, a quiet rebellion, it’s perceived as fulfilling an expectation. somehow I can never be masc enough to be percieved as I want to be, so any introduction of femininity feels like a defeat. and yet sometimes I want to wear the pretty things that are still in my closet! or play around with makeup. but it isn’t a young boy getting into his mother’s vanity and heels, it’s growing up into the fulfillment of the wants of the mother and the rest of society as a blank whole.

For everyone with social anxiety, this is a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect in your interactions with others; you just have to be kind and that’s literally it. That’s all that’s necessary of you. You don’t need to say the perfect thing or anticipate what they would want you to say or even exude confidence if you can’t.

Social anxiety tells us that we have to be perfect in in our social interactions, but no one is. Social anxiety sets us up for a level of expectation in our social interactions that we have no choice but to fail at, and then fall into a cycle of self-hate for failing and striving even harder for perfection.

Welcome back!

What message would you send the people who supported Len and are still friends with her and supports her friends?

Hello Non!

If you’re looking for the actual discourse I’ve reblogged some posts b4 this. This post got long. And I hope I don't sound pretentious. I just have a lot of thoughts and emotions. Okay? Ok.

I don't really have anything to say to those people. They made their choice. Now I know some of those people haven't seen the original post because of it being framed as a doxxing attempt. We may never know fully who is "on what side," and I don't think we need to.

I know a few people who definitely see/have seen what's going on and are choosing to remain silent. I still follow some of them, because they make great fandom content. But some of those people I don't /won't trust in the same way after this.

To the people who are actively supporting Len. Remember that their choices in this show their character. That's the end. I don't think we should be trying to punish anyone. I think we should stop worrying about Len& co entirely. Block and move on. They've made their choices.

It's time now to go forward while taking Len as a case study of our fandom. I think this whole situation highlighted not just a manipulator among us, but also how prone we still are to cliques. How fandom is still dominated by white voices. And how often we throw around terms and jargon, often without truly know their meanings, in order to seem reputable.

Also! THE INTERNET IS STILL FULL OF STRANGERS DON'T PUT SO MUCH SENSITIVE INFORMATION OUT THERE. IT'S DANGEROUS.

With these things in mind, I think we should focus on the rest of our community.

What I think we can do as a community moving forward is to be more honest, kind, discerning, and inclusive. It's okay to have a small circle you trust, but is that circle diverse? Are you checking up on your friends/mutuals after you reblog their art?

Do we look the other way at all discourse? Or are we taking the time to decide what is worth our energy and what is good for our health and community?

There need be no witch hunts, no call-out posts made every week. People see life differently. I may be an obstacle in someone else's life. And that's fine! I know right now there are some unsavory things being said about me. But I can't control that. And I don't need to.

What I do control is how I respond. People are allowed not to like me! People are allowed to have different views, opinions, thoughts, and feelings than I. That's what life is, and that's part of what makes it so cool!

I just hope in these continuing conversations about fandom, identity, friendship, and...life on the internet! That we learn that differences are okay. Good even. You don't need to tone police other people's emotions and thoughts.

Some opinions may be red flags but some opinions are just opinions people have that are different from yours.

No one race/ethnicity/gender/identity intersection is a monolith.

One Black woman's life and art won't be the same as another's. My experience as u.s. american is not monolithic. The queer experience differs all over. I love the color orange and oranges, you may not! That doesn't have to make us internet enemies or mean that we don't co-exist in fandom.

I also know that subjects of lived experience and identity are much more personal and often more painful than colors or aesthetic opinions. But because of the intimate nature of these issues, I think that is a call for us to talk more not less, to give grace, and be patient.

I don't think there's an easy answer or any real "fix" for these problems. They exist systemically in life and so we perpetuate them online and in fandom. All I can do is give suggestions.

Make friends. Have fun. Be honest. Stay safe. Protect yourself. Don't believe everything you read. Take time to laugh. Put your thoughts out there! If you see something you think is cool, share it! If you see something suss, research it! Be kind to others and yourself. Drink water. Cry when you need to. Make sure you're taking time away from this platform, and the internet in general!

Overall...don't be a dick?! And if someone tells you that you might be acting like a dick, take a minute. Do some reflecting. Then respond. Be open to examining your biases, and navigating others. Take care of your mental health.

Be a good person.

Also, this is a Hellsite. I hope to see you around.

I hope your day/night is fabulous. 🧡😚🌻

A Clarification Regarding LGBTmazight's Exposé and Bloggers Claiming there is Proof of her Identity:

In the past week, we have received these three questions multiple times, so we are going to answer them here before leaving you for the weekend:

Is the post doxxing?

No, it is not.

We shared only what Len herself put online first, and even then, as mentioned in the main post, we were careful not to include anything that revealed her full name, which she shared online multiple times even as an adult.

We also did not include many other things she openly discussed and posted herself, such as pictures of her family, of her home, and of her car with the license plate uncensored. In 2017, two weeks before before her 23rd birthday, she openly discussed her father's place of work, and since 2011 she has been talking openly about the occupations of her mother and at least one other adult family member. She also openly disclosed text messages between her and her family.

These are details that we would never reveal under any circumstances, and we were horrified at her disregard for her family's privacy and safety.

Are the photographs we used used to expose what she truly looks like pictures of her as a minor?

No, they are not.

The earliest picture we shared goes back to February 24th, 2014, when Len was 19 and fewer than 5 months away from turning 20. She shared them openly on Tumblr for a selfie game and was aware that the user who, at the time, was her girlfriend, had reblogged them.

Person X contacted me privately, and told me there is proof of Len's identity and all what you wrote in the post is a lie. Is it true? Did you make everything up?

No, we did not.

You can check for yourself how WayBack Machine works, but you will only find confirmation of the fact that it is impossible to fake entries.

We are curious to know what Len's proof of her identity could possibly be. So far, we've heard shifting stories about people seeing her father's passport, her passport, videos of her, or family photographs. To this we answer: we never denied that her father was born in Tangier and that Len was born in Athens. Regarding family photos, however, there is a great deal of doubt. Around 2016, she said that most if not all the pictures of her father's side of the family had been lost in a house fire, which was why she was unable to show them online (to hear her talk, this is only one of the many house fires that both sides of her family have endured). We have also never denied that her mother's family is ethnically Greek, because it's one of the few things Len rarely if ever changed over the years. Her mother has always been Greek and Len has always been born in Athens.

If she had an actual defense, she would have posted it already. She hasn't, because she doesn't have one. She pretended to speak Darija, pretended to have been poor and lived in the housing projects, pretended to have been a hijabi woman, and pretended to have lived in Morocco. And this is just a taster. She never had a problem mentioning her parents by full name on Twitter when she wanted to talk to Western Twitter users about how foreign and oppressed she and her family were, so the excuse that she has lots and lots of evidence regarding her identity but just can't post it because she would doxx herself is preposterous.

The fact that many Kpop fans are coming forward to say that they thought for years that Len was Chinese/Asian-American shows that this pattern of behavior (entering a fandom and ascending to the role of overly powerful authority figure by pretending to be the same ethnicity and race as the main characters/people in it) is one she has often repeated. We would not be surprised to find that her claims of being ethnically Jewish, for example, stem from Tumblr's celebration of the Jewish roots of the Marvel comics' creators and Stan Lee when the MCU fandom was in its heyday.

In addition, we noticed that none of the people who are defending her by claiming that there is proof of her identity are willing to address her dangerous political beliefs and views.

Len has shown herself to be a constant if not outright compulsive liar. The many pieces of information that she has thrown out over the years regarding who and what she is cannot be put together to create a coherent whole. It is impossible. And there is no defense in the world strong enough to overcome what she did to other people instead of, to quote a current phrase, getting off the computer and touching grass.
