Let’s go ghost hugging.

[nonbinarypastels]

hey pals if someone posts a set of pride flag themed art that doesn’t include a certain flag please consider

a - remembering that tumblr has a limit on how many images you can have in a single photoset which varies based on the size of the images you’re uploading; it is impossible to include ALL THE FLAGS in a single set, especially if the art in question has a large file size

b - searching the person’s blog to see if they’ve already made art for the flag you want but posted it in a different set

c - searching for terms on the person’s blog to see if there’s any evidence whatsoever they actually hold bigoted views towards the group whose flag wasn’t included

and d - if the answer to b & c is no, asking politely if they could make or if they are planning to make a version of the art with your pride flag on it

before you immediately jump to screaming “oh my god, op, why do you hate __?”, assuming the only reason your flag isn’t included is due to malice when there’s no evidence of that whatsoever, and attacking the person like an entitled asshole

okay?

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

[mmmmmmmilo]

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

You can sign the petition even if you are non-European. I recommend you do, as many of us fan content creators are indeed in Europe. We would also lose access to non-European fan creations, meaning less readers, less fans and less customers for your home-made merch, commissions and such for you.

[thefuzzycomic]

I’m reblogging this to FUZZY as this is extremely important. If I lose access to Tumblr, you will lose access to FUZZY. I would most likely even lose access to Webtoons, as it does have fan comics! Not to mention Patreon is not safe from this either.

[noonymoon]

PLEASE EVERYONE IN EUROPE SIGN THIS PETITION

WE CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN !!!

[subconsciousmindposts]

Hey. Stop Scrolling.

To everyone reading this. I’m so glad you’re alive. I’m so proud of you. Keep going. You’re almost there.

Pass it on.

I was doing laundry and found $2 in my jeans. Reblog to find $2 in your jeans when you need it the most.

This is your casual reminder that yes, your wip is worth writing. You’re not wasting time. Creativity is never a waste.

Shuri: Remember that time you dared me to lick the swing set?

T’Challa: No, I said “Shuri, don’t lick the swing set”, and you said “Don’t tell me what to do”, and then you licked the swing set.

This isn’t a competition but Black Panther had the best representation of women in fantasy, sci-fi, and film as a whole. You don’t see a teenage African princess being the master and director behind the creation and innovation of the country’s most advanced technology on Earth, you don’t see a love interest with dark skin that still maintains her badass characteristics and ambitions and dreams of her own and be desired all at once, when was the last time you’ve seen a woman (black, dark skinned woman at that) lead an army of women to protect a nation and be regarded as the most powerful warrior respected by all. When have you’ve seen so much women in power and positions of respect and relevance to the plot and still managed to live at the end. You’ve seen it now.

[askanonbinary]

Let go of the notion that “nonbinary” is synonymous with one experience, one gender feeling, one gender completely removed from the binary. You can be nonbinary and align or identify with a binary gender or both binary genders. Open your mind to the possibility of just how big nonbinary is. Nonbinary is a huge umbrella term that covers such a wide range of experiences that just one person can’t possibly describe them all. Open your mind to the openness of nonbinary. It is a non-constraining gender/label/term.

[versrights-deactivated20180511]

would it be illegal if we started abbreviating classical literature as clit?

[ruindunburnit]

It would be illegal if we DIDN’T

[dontwantthenextcommanderiwantyou]

“So what are you studying in college?”

“Clit”

So if a sexually active lesbian studies classical literature she’d have a “double major in Clit”

Capoeira.

[doubledoseofdopamine]

That’s probably a superpower.

[jamaicanamazon]

Fuck it up !

[sallgud]

Disguised as dancing African slaves in Brazil would practice this capoeria as a fighting style

[608608608]

^^^^ that’s one of the best pieces of information I’ve heard today

[earthshaker1217]

Black ingenuity is everlasting

[sodomymcscurvylegs]

It’s the reason it’s so acrobatic and requires the use of your legs more than anything. It would help slaves fight when they tried to escape and Capoira was created specifically so they could:

a.) Pass it off as a dance with the slave masters unaware of it being a fighting style.

b.) Be able to fight even with their hands shackled.

It’s has a super neat history!

Cudjo Lewis, the last surviving captive of the last slave ship to bring Africans to the U.S.

[revolutionarykoolaid]

It’s so significant too that this narrative was collected by Zora Neale Hurston, one of the greatest authors and anthropologists of her time. She was shunned by the “gatekeepers” of both of these professions, largely because of her Blackness, her womanhood, and her uncompromising commitment to honoring and showcasing both in her works. She died penniless and alone in a state-run institution in 1960. All of her works had gone out of publication by then. It took more than a decade before she was rediscovered. A young author by the name of Alice Walker had come across her work and was deeply inspired by it. “In 1973, after an exhaustive search, Walker came across Hurston’s unmarked grave in Ft. Pierce, Fla. She purchased a headstone for Hurston’s tomb and had it inscribed “A Genius of the South.“”

It is through Zora Neale Hurston’s pioneering sacrifice, and the acceptance of that inheritance by Alice Walker that we have found this missing piece of our history. Without the courageous and unfailing work of Black women, we wouldn’t have Cudjo Lewis’s story. We are slowly regaining a narrative that’s been hidden from us, one that continues to be lied about. Trust Black women to lead the way.
