The age verification thing is horseshit!!!!!! full stop!!!!! Everyone knows the moderation on this site explicitly targets transgender people, especially trans women & transfeminist allies, people of color, and other marginalized groups, often marking their blogs and flagging their posts as mature.
This new update will explicitly take away the visibility of marginalized people. Raise hell about it. Write reviews and call in like we did for the reblog update. If anything, this is even more important than that one, especially for trans women and people of color who are already flagged.
maybe I like talking about the weather okay…… it’s not awkward to me. we’ve both been outside today and the sun and clouds were there too, let’s discuss.
We could all really benefit from being more attuned to the natural environment. It’s better for us, it’s better for communities, and it’s better for the land. Please talk to me about the weather.
Nothing has done quite so much damage to my internal vocabulary as the construction #MyNoun. I don't remember if it was from that "tour of my jar, this is my twig #MyTwig" or if it was from "inappropriate attachment to objects, my tuube #MyTuube" but either way it was one of you fuckers on here. I do it every time there's my noun #MyNoun
Nader has spent the last eighteen years of his life in the Gaza strip. He has witnesses war after war, famine, fear, and death. His little cousin is now a toddler and has known nothing but terror herself.
If you'd like to help my friend Nader and his family afford food, medical, and housing costs please consider contributing to Nader's fundraiser, or reblogging! Thank you so much.
my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
