you can call me proxy. she/her, 20s, & i'm transfem
i'm using this sideblog to write normal sister activities because i can't connect it to my writing on main at the moment. plus, i want a good place to reblog stuff i can't on main. there's a lot of explicit stuff here.
i like writing stuff, and i could use the practice with erotica and beyond. look at #mysis for me. okay?
Noterook is a social platform where your posts live on your device, not on a server. You have a Book - you write in it, and when you find something you love on someone else's Book, you staple it into yours. That's how things spread: not by algorithm, but by people actively choosing to keep something. If a thousand people staple a post, it exists in a thousand places. No single point of failure, no one entity controlling it.
The server is a phonebook, not a filing cabinet. It knows your username, your avatar, and that's about it. Your content is stored locally, cryptographically signed so nobody can forge or tamper with it, and cached on the server only as an opaque blob it can't read. When you go offline, you choose how long that cache sticks around - anywhere from zero seconds to thirty days. If the server gets subpoenaed or hacked, there's nothing useful to take.
It's built for people whose posts could be used against them - queer folks in hostile places, artists, writers, kink communities, anyone who's watched a platform promise safety and then sell them out. No engagement metrics, no algorithmic feed, no ads (user self-service ads for shilling your own commissions nonwithstanding, at a later date). You own your copies. Export your data whenever you want. The architecture is the policy: if the server doesn't have your stuff, nobody can take it from you.
It's like tumblr but if it was made by someone that doesn't hate you and has no desire to add features for the sake of adding features. I'm going to finish the site and then I will let it live in maintenance mode forever occasionally doing security updates. If I ever decide that I no longer want to do Noterook, I will open source it for the community to take over.

No more waiting, no more debating, get your hrt! "What if I'm not actually trans?" You are, now go. "I'm scared!" We all were, now go. "What if my friends don't accept me?" Then they weren't your friends, now go. "What if my spouse doesn't accept me?" Get divorced, now go. "There's a long wait to be seen at the clinic." Then get your name on it now or diy, now go. "I'm scared of the doctors" Diy is safe and easy, now go. "I'm scared of transphobia." Choosing to remain depressed and hurting to satisfy bigots means the bigots win.
It's time to pursue your happiness, it's time to pursue your true self, stop allowing yourself to live in agony, go now.
how about you stop turning a blind eye to how this website is run by white supremacists who ignore how twerfs continue to stalk trans women and are in fact complicit with how many of us are deleted, harassed, or both
why wait for them to try again? grow a spine. keep going and bully them nonstop until they stop terminating trans women and promise to not even attempt to reintroduce this. keep bullying them until they have remotely ethical practices. keep bullying them after that because they deserve it. never stop bullying tumblr staff.
already seen similar posts to this but like hey! great job bullying tumblr staff relentlessly bc they made a rlly bad ui change. could you keep doing that until they stop banning trans women and enabling their stalkers to have voices here? just maybe? for me?
You can access it here. Please reblog this post when you see it so more folks can get access and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao

"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!
Anonsee has painstakingly curated a thorough archive for people to educate ourselves on transfeminist womanism and be good allies with. There was never an excuse to not learn to be better but now even less so. Please go through and share this archive!
And say thank you to Anonsee and all other black transfems, as well as Lorenzo and Jonina Ervin + all the writers and artists 🩷 Please support them all by sharing and donating (if you can)!
I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
wait hang on. generalizing the ideas in the prev tags, the use of audio/video to chat with each other is reay good, whether its sexual or not, whether the system shares memories or not. i mean, with us, we already use heavy blankets and stuff to help simulate hugs, and it helps that we can yap at each other in real time and divvy up control of the body. but, like, being able to hear each other speak (even if we already know what we're going to say) and even see each other doing anything does sound really nice.
that being said, i can only imagine how that might be for systems with more more opaque separation / less system cohesion than that. i know intrasystem dynamics can be very different between e.g. DID and the flavors of OSDD that preserve active intrasystem commumication. i know journaling / intrasystem discord servers can be used, so video / audio feels like it should follow. i think it's more about how the ways relationships between alters manifest in the first place, or any power dynamics between alters that front for different purposes, or anything like that, might differ between different system types.
lots of research to do in lots of different ways! but it opens up a lot of possibilities, i think
imagine a machine that grants wishes, but it takes away something of equal value to you. you can optionally offer it a sacrifice, but this desire is counted as part of your wish, so the cost is higher to compensate. if your offered sacrifice is not deemed worth enough, the machine may do nothing, or it may grant the wish and take the excess as it sees fit.
i am the keeper of the machine. tell me what you want, and i will relay what happens.
