Would you mind being sent asks abt your Getter OC?
man I havent talked about Haruka in a while. I haven't really been on this blog in a while

I know you don’t post about Getter anymore, but have you seen the first episode of Arc yet?
Not yet, haven't had motivation to watch anything
Look, obviously OP was being sarcastic when he said Goldberg is “doing the work,” but the love of God, I am begging my Black elders and Black neoliberal wannabes to please stop tryna turn Whoopie Goldberg into some kind of wise old sage. She made a few good movies, once. And it’s cool if you still enjoy them. But she ain’t Nostradamus, and she has deadass been on the wrong side of PLENTY of serious issues. Here is the deeply fucked up mentality of someone who still believes it took “courage” for a white man to wear blackface and repeatedly say “nigger” to a mostly white audience: Goldberg has defended Bill Cosby against rape charges, Ray Rice & Chris Brown against domestic violence charges, Mel Gibson against antisemitism charges, Rachel Dolezal’s foolishness,…. she defended the Bush Administration’s torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib ffs. 🙄
Why tf is anyone still listening to this trash ass woman??
"This is an extreme emergency, this is stressing me out and I cannot keep silent about it. I owe 1.2k that's due this week, I know it's an impossibility to get this cash so I'm preparing for the arrest and imprisonment that is to come in the future if I cant make due. All of this is wild because its discrimination and yet I'm powerless to do anything. There is little I can really do. I dont have a lawyer, nor access to such care. My social workers are unable to help me with this kind of thing and I'm at a loss. Remember I said I'm better at losing? This is another brick in the road I have to overcome. If I'm jailed I'll be prepared for it. I do not have or will get a stimulus check because I do not qualify. If anyone can give any advice I'd much appreciate it"- @galacticfaemua

hello friends! i am dyslecidic and i have a developmental disability. i want to read all of the books and stuff about antifa but all the words are too long. do you have ideas?
How about videos? Here’s our YouTube playlist of 400+ antifa videos. This one is a good place to start.
Oxford University was going to open source its vaccine, then the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation stepped in and convinced them to sell exclusive rights to AstraZeneca. Now AstraZeneca is failing to deliver and poor countries are struggling to access vaccines.
Advocates of cheap and widely available vaccines thought the pandemic might change business as usual. They were wrong.
Got an urgent request to share this, I hope someone out there can help him out. Please reblog if you cannot donate.

I was wondering what kind of female black characters do people want to see more of? Like, them being soft or selfish?
Black Girls & Women: Representation We Want
As a Black woman reader, I definitely want to see more soft Black girls and women in literature. Girls with their own self-interests (caring about oneself isn’t necessarily selfish) and not always someone else’s caregiver is great too.
Here’s my list!
More Black girls...
In love
With close family bonds and healthy relationships and support systems (that don’t require enduring abuse, fixing their partner, or overall emotional labor to earn domestic happiness)
Being protected
As main characters, heroines and anti-heroes
On adventures
In fantasy and magical settings
In historical settings as peasants, upper-class society, and royalty
Descriptions of Black Afro hair, skin, features as a normal thing in books (see this compilation) and not in an Othering way
On the other hand, vibrant, sometimes hyped up descriptions that allude to their beauty (see this ask. Or this one). Not Othering, just appreciating!
Put us in fancy dresses and give us a sword and let us dance at the balls and have admirers!
Experiencing complex emotions not necessarily in reaction to racism or racist violence
On the book cover! And with an accurate, not light or white-washed model
~Mod Colette
Responses:
@madamef-er
Soft black girls and nerd girls who like cute things.
Shy black girls not just in situations with boys.
More lgbtqia+ black girls. Studs! Femmes!
Gender fluid and non conforming constantly changing their style because they like it!
Spies and not just as the 'sexy bait' or 'weapons master' let us sit behind the computer for once and be hackers and stuff
@tanlefan
Black girls who are just...people.
I want a fantasy escapism adventure that isn't a thinly veiled discussion on slavery or racism or any other aspect of The Struggle. I am tired.
Can I just have a happy Black girl who believes in fairies or something?
@esmeraldanacho-1776 More autistic Black women/girls! I don't care what genre really; just have them in there!
@briarsthicket And enby black people!
@mattiekins
Def soft black girls.
Energetic and playful.
Or shy and quiet.
I want to see more black girls who are nerds and not just mommy mommying or nanny nannying everyone.
I want black girls who want to be a ballerina, or a talk show host, or a game designer etc.
I want a black girl who gets to be happy.
Who doesn't have to act older than she is and be the shoulder for everyone, always.
@xiiishadesofgrey
I want more black lady nerds, if we’re talking modern settings!
More black ladies who have a sporty/playful nature!
Who aren’t afraid to get dirty and make chaos, without being dirty or frowned upon!
Strange as it sounds coming from me, more black princesses! Brandy as Cinderella in the 90s was my first Cinderella, and I LOVE that.
Please, god, more black wlws.
@daintythoughtswritersblock
I want to see tropes exercised

@missnancywrites
More Black Girls...
With diverse cultural and social backgrounds!
That are nerdy, girly, intelligent, ditzy, all the personality types that white girls in literature get!
That are fragile, shy or anxious. Almost every single black woman I’ve seen in media or otherwise are wise and adult. Let us be an absolute wreck, or an anxious mess!
In science! Characters like Shuri, Moon Girl and Iron Heart in Marvel revitalized me, cuz young black girls only get two types. Both these girls are in intellectual and in science, but have bery different personalities.
In interracial relationships, and not because they hate black men or something along those lines. They just happen to be dating outside their race, black women get hate for that in real life and it’s unfair. Let us have relationships outside our race! That said...
In platonic relationships with black men! I think that’s important, cuz I don’t often seen black solidarity unless it’s for the purpose of showing how diverse the writing is. Let them share interests, daily frustrations that they would only understand, but don’t force a romance.
In solid friendships with other black girls! For some reason, we’re pitted against in each other inside and outside of writing! Write some sweet wholesome friendship!
With different sexualities! Let there be some that are ace, others are gay, bi or pan! Just be sure you don’t sexualize them, or turn em into a robot.
•Who are dark-skinned! This can be seen a lot in tv or movies, but when you want a black girl in your stuff don’t just hire a light-skinned black girl or a biracial black girl. It’s not the same.
Who get to act their age! Black women have a long standing history of being adultified, starting from a very young age, and it’s extremely harmful. Little black girls can wear what they please, the problem is people sexualizing them. Let the teen black girl be a teenager, she can look out for her siblings but she isn’t the keepern the house or their lives. Young adult black girls are not ideal housewives or capable working machines, they mess up and mess around just as much as any young adult.
With mental/physical disabilities or illnesses. Alongside with being forced to be more mature than they are, disabilities/illnesses are never taken seriously and we’re forced to just deal with it. Having black girls who happen to have these issues, but also have a healthy support group is always good!
@ink-and-roses
Seen as beautiful and desirable and NOT in a hypersexualized way
Interracial relationships are wonderful because black girls are beautiful and lbr everybody sees it
Sensitive and allowed to feel something other than righteous anger
Some black girls are skinny! Some are big! Some are slim and some are curvy! There’s no mold!
Dark skinned!
A YA protagonist out to save the world from something other than racism
Superpowers or magic that doesn’t come from generational trauma or slavery
Black characters who support other black characters. None of this token crabs in a barrel business.
Black girl nerds and punks and goths exist. I promise.
And this may be a personal preference but I’m not against the idea of a damsel in distress. We are always being strong. Let her be soft and delicate and cared for. Let her be princess carried and rescued from the tower and the dragon.
[Note from Mod: It’s not just you! I love a Black damsel being saved and protected. What is progressive for one woman varies due to historical and present depictions and is why intersectionality in feminism is so important! -Colette]
@nightlyswordswoman
As a writer, I write a lot of my black female characters like this because I rarely ever see black women being represented in these ways! ESPECIALLY on the covers of books, unless the author themselves is a black woman and even then its rare.
Too often black women are stereotyped as strong protector types that are always rough, tough, and don’t need anybody in books (and real life), when that’s honestly just dumb and inaccurate--black women are as vulnerable as anyone else (in some cases, even more vulnerable, but that’s another topic).
So yeah, this list is 100% accurate and I encourage those who are interested in writing black female characters (whether you’re a black woman or not) to consider writing them like this, because the stereotype needs to die lol.
But wait, there’s more!
@just-a-swsh-fangirl As an anime fan I kinda want to see a white male protagonist be paired up (romantically) with a black female at the end of the series. It would make my black self happy to see a girl like me in an important role like that.
@tgingwe
Black girls in STEM, pleaaase
Black girls with ADHD, depression, and other mental health conditions!
Black girls with supportive families!
Pan black girls!
African black girls, with cultures that impact their lives and with complex relationships between their specific identities/cultures and the idea of being perceived as just black outside of Africa!
Happy Trans Black girls!

Black girls with healthy relationships with their parents
black girls who are indecisive about their lives and struggling to find their place in the world and the reason not being racism
LGBTQ+ black girls with families that accept them and celebrate them
More black witches/magic users who don't fall in the magical negro type.
Quirky black girls who have endearing and unusual interests
Black girls who both love sterotypical and non-stereotypical black things
Black girls having supportive friendship groups and not being the one who constantly needs to support the others
Black girls saving the world
Black girls having a love interest who loves them and cherishes them not because they think they are weak but because they want them to be safe and happy
Black girls being the cherished love interest
Black girls being thought of the most gorgeous girl and not being overly sexualized
Black girls and their siblings/friends going to another world a la Chronicles of Narnia
Black girls being the chosen ones and saving the world
Black girls in medieval fantasy stories and not just being a slave or the handmaiden of the white princess
Black girs with different and complex relationships with their womanhood and how they express it
Black girls with different hair textures
But above all else I just want black girls to be able to have the same range in character as their white counterparts. I am tired of never being able to relate to characters that look like me

I’ve found myself wondering “Where are the trans people of color?” a million times.
In my life, I’m often the only person of color in a room of trans people. I’ve noticed it is harder to find pictures and reviews of products (like packers, skin tone binders, or breastforms) in the non-white skin tones. I see fewer pictures of POC post-surgery, and fewer people of color documenting their changes on HRT. Selfies of trans people, binary or non-binary, tend to skew towards the white and AFAB side. Hopefully, this blog can provide a sense of community and inclusion for all trans people of color.
This blog is a place where we can answer that question. Where are the trans people of color? We’re right here! We’re talking about how our day went, about our families, about coming out, about our pets, about our transitions, about our ups and downs. We are here. We exist. This is a new blog for TPOC (trans people of color) to submit selfies of themselves and other content!
Anyone and everyone is allowed to follow us, all support is welcome, but only TPOC can send selfies/content.
Please reblog and spread the word!

ADOPTION FUN FACT
If you’re adopted internationally into the United States, BY adoption LAWS you’re legally a citizen, but you still have to apply for documentation and if it’s not done by the age of 18 you have to pay over $500 and get a judge to reopen your adoption case.
Even More Fun Fact: No one actually tells adoptive families, this so many find out after they’re 18 when their kid needs to get a passport, wants to apply for financial aid, get certain jobs, vote or some other shit that requires proof of citizenship and now it’s too late because they’re 18 or over.
AND EVEN MORE FUN FACT! You can sometimes even be deported because you can be considered foreign-born, non-citizens!
Oh and they won’t accept adoption papers or a birth certificate as proof.
Adoption is FUN.
Do it now! Seriously. Even if you think you are safe. Do it.
Many people are finding that even a birth certificate is not valid proof anymore. Texas birth certificates are notorious. So notorious that I have 3 friends who can’t use them to get passports! Don’t think everything is hunky dory. You must nail down your citizenship.
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/filling-out-form-n-600-application-certificate-citizenship.html
Plus the cost for your citizenship certificate is almost doubling this fall.
SIGNAL BOOST.
Some Naturalization/Citizenship Certificate tips from me, the person who front-end processes these forms for half the country: the passport people are absolute garbage at sending your Naturalization Certificate back to you. Unfortunately, they also require it for you to get a passport. If you don’t get it back, whine at them about it and they will probably cover the cost of the replacement.
Also! It takes up to 12 months to get a replacement certificate. If you urgently need your Natz Cert to visit your dying relative in another country, the word you want to use is ‘Expedite’. Not ‘ASAP’. Not ‘rush’. Expedite. Write a letter explaining why you need it expedited, if you do. Otherwise the USCIS data-entry grunts (me!) aren’t allowed to throw it into the expedite line and it gets relegated to the Backlog Crypts.
Also! You need to get a new Naturalization Certificate if your name and/or gender legally changes, because a lot of places want your proof of citizenship for things like Social Security and student loans and Medicaid/EBT/welfare benefits and drivers’ licenses.
ALSO ALSO both the N600 ($600) that you use to apply for your Naturalization Certificate in the first place and N565 ($345) that you use to apply for a replacement certificate are eligible for FEE WAIVERS. It’s called an I912. Learn it, love it, use it.
Please for your sake make sure you are using the current version of the form. The most common reason I have to reject an N565 is because someone sent me something that expired in 2013. The current one is seven pages long. Please send the government all seven of them.
Dont mind me, just running ass home and then to the government so I cant get deported.
ALL OF THIS. I used to work for an immigration firm, and getting it done after age 18 can be hella difficult. But also, NO ONE tells adoptive families this, and it sucks. Spread the word!
