fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"

A good video that accurately explains why stud is a term used for black lesbians only, not white, not poc, BLACK

I’m not even going to say please. Respect black identities and labels, they are ours for a reason.

Imma need this reblogged by white queer tumblr users since it’s mostly yall who wanna use it or want to know why you or other white people shouldn’t/can’t use the term “stud”

[video description: a tiktok made by @/callmekellin, responding to a comment that reads “what does being black have to do with being a stud …….”

the person in the video is a fem presenting black person in their car. they say “i love that you asked, lemme give you a little history lesson. full disclaimer, no hate to the commenter, i’m just giving everybody a bit of a debrief! now firstly, let’s talk about where the term stud actually comes from.

back in the days of slavery, when people still used to refer to us as animals, black people that were taller were known to be stronger because they could do more work. so down in the south, they started comparing us to horses. that then coined the term[s] studs for men, and stallions for females. like megan thee stallion. it was really big in the south. to compare us to animals.

but enough about the bleach brigade, let’s actually get back into the history. as you know, or if you don’t know, black women were not able to enter the working class until well into the 1960s. before then, there was a small populous of women that were still working, even though they technically were not supposed to.

‘how was it possible?’ these women would be dressing more masculine—using binders in order to help put down their chests, dressing more in a male form—and because of the fact that most bleach bandits believed that we, as black women, were already masculine, they got away with it. thus coining the term, in the black community, “stud.” because all the dudes knew, but she was one of the guys. so what did it matter?

any time the chlorine community would come up to black people and be like “hey! is that a female working!?” the guys would just save her and be like ‘nah, that’s a stud right there.” it was joke to them because they all knew. but as times changed and slang did too, the black community still keeps it close at heart. and yes, it was rooted in racism, but we’re taking it back for ourselves.

so once again, if you’re not a black, masculine lesbian that wants to be called a stud, you’re not a stud. you’re a masculine lesbian. even a butch if you want to. i hope that explained it!” end video description.]

@kneadbees you asked me about what "stud" meant!

Serious talk with my Tumblr girls

What's the point of us calling out the dudes that constantly send us unwanted shit and harass us in the DMs, if some of you keep reblogging their asses (and even dicks)??

If any man you see me interacting with here is a jerk or a predator, my DMs are open for you girlies. And if you agree, reblog to show you're open to do the same for your mutuals.

This is only a safe space if we look out for each other, cause they won't. ❤️

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

maybe i just haven’t seen it so far but i haven’t encountered any post like this for the detrans/fakeboy/fakegirl community and it’s so fucking crucial!

also this applies to any person who acts as a jerk or a predator, not just cishet men!!

Hello there! Hope your day is going well!

Yesterday I was looking for good reference photos to use for practice at rendering darker skintones, and I noticed a lot of the same kind of racial bias photography pitfalls happening that made so many photos 'bad' photos to use as ref material, to the point that my friends helped me put together a guide on how to determine if a photo is a good photo to use as reference material when it comes to darker skintones.

I thought sharing it with you and your followers would be a good idea!

Example of a good vs bad photo reference (of the same model ie Khoudia Diop) below and why:

The good reference photo aka the left photo: balanced neutral lighting, good exposure, good range of values across her face, nothing is overly washed out or in shadow, the variance of undertones in her skin are visible, and the whites of her eyes and highlights of her face don't overtake the rest of her skin in prominence.

The bad reference photo: the white balance is shifted to focus on the details of her white outfit, and so her face and hair are underexposed. This flattens her face so that it appears as just a few muddied desaturated dark tones, while her teeth and highlights starkly pop out from the darkness. If you aren't zooming in to see the details, it all blends together in a disappointing flatness. This photo does this Black model a disservice, as the photographer and/or editor did not take the time and effort to re-balance the values so that her face would be exposed properly.

Photography, like every other facet of life, has problems of racial bias. Kodak didn't even start accommodating for rich darker skintones because Black families complained about how their photos developed; it was furniture and chocolate companies complaining that the color film couldn't properly capture the differences of their light brown and dark brown products that finally pushed Kodak to change their film color formulations to better depict the darker browns necessary to render dark skin. The history of photography and color film is quite interesting, just as the history of racial bias in the artform is depressing.

There's a short video from Vox that talks about the subject.

The full guide I put together can be found here if you wanna see and/or share it. I hope it is helpful.

Thank you for your time and I hope you have a pleasant day!

Khoudia!! I wanted one of her smiling that was still nice. Her teeth contrasting her skin is not necessarily a bad thing, that's not something she can help, and she should always smile! I love seeing her skin shade in the sun, it really is a beautiful dark. But for sure, every time they take pictures of her outside, they never do right by her skin tone. Oh, the modeling industry! Thanks for sharing your guide!

@modelsof-color do you have some pieces for Khoudia?
