Alright, everyone.

There’s a strike for Palestine from 16-22 June (mainly shared through the bird app), but I’m strongly requesting people strike and boycott here too!

In joining in, I’m doing singing and voice acting commissions, but you’ll be sending money to Palestinian GoFundMes instead!

Details under the cut!

When you bid, state how much you will donate, and to what link / means / to whom you’re sending your money to.

Should you want to donate to other causes than Palestinian, that’s definitely okay.

What’s required is payment proof before I start working on your commissions. (I’m gonna take a while to do it, anyways.)

So here’s what I can do for you!

Voice acting: androgynous + femme voices, little bit of fry scream

Singing: RnB, pop, musicals

Audiobook + passage readings also available, if you need something long-form!

Fandoms: NSP, Undertale, BTS, KPop, Genshin (sumeru biased), Broadway

But feel free to suggest things from any media. It doesn’t need to be fandom-based at all!

I can work with any language (English, Mandarin, Korean, Bahasa of both types, Arabic etc.) I just would need romanization as a reference, and I can look for romanization on my own if you cannot provide it.

To see my ‘resume’, look for the tag ‘my voice’. It’s already tagged on this post.

I post more voice acting on my other blog, @sliding-graphite. The more serious voice acting tag is ‘Damien does a voice thing,’ but ‘my voice’ will show the same results.

[sliding-graphite]

I’m extending the voice acting + singing requests to… forever? Forever, but at a snail’s pace, for persistence and sustainability reasons!

Send the link to a mutual aid you want to support, let me know your request, and we’ll work out a timeline together!

The mutual aid link can be for any cause, and if I have hesitations on your request, we can talk it out!

My ‘resume’ can be found with the same tags! They’re ’my voice’ or ‘Damien does a voice thing’ on both blogs!

when you're feeling bad about yourself and/or the world it really truly can help so much more than you might think to go find something you can do to put some of your principles into concrete action.

not prioritizing the things you think are actually important feels bad!

so does seeing work so big that you can't imagine any progress being made.

doing something practical to act on your principles, ideally with other people, can make you feel more like yourself.

it can also help with those feelings of overwhelm with the world to actually do your part and to see that you're not the only one willing to put in the work.

('The Rules of Engagement with White Fragility', continued from last post)

"If you insist on breaking the cardinal rule, then you must follow these other rules:

2. Proper tone is crucial- feedback must be given calmly. If any emotion is displayed, the feedback is invalid and can be dismissed.

3. There must be trust between us. You must trust that I am in no way racist before you can give me feedback on my racism.

4. Our relationship must be issue-free - if there are issues between us, you cannot give me feedback on racism until these unrelated issues are resolved.

5. Feedback must be given immediately. If you wait too long, the feedback will be discounted because it was not given sooner.

6. You must give feedback privately, regardless of whether the incident occurred in front of other people. To give feedback [publicly] is to commit a serious social transgression. If you cannot protect me from embarrassment, the feedback is invalid, and you are the transgressor.

7. You must be indirect as possible. Directness is insensitive and will invalidate the feedback and require repair.

Turkey to imprison LGBT advocates, criminalize same-sex ceremonies in new bill: report - Stockholm Center for Freedom

Turkey’s justice ministry is drafting legislation that would imprison people for publicly praising LGBT identity, criminalize same-sex engag

[bisexualantagonist]

EXTRA INFO:

The Bill hasn't passed yet; however it is very likely. Turkey just shut down the social media accounts of LGBT+ organizations, and quietly banned/"made not possible to see" multiple dating apps for LGBT people such as Taimi. These are small steps leading up to this. Just less than a year ago the distribution of Estrogen was made ten times harder and hormone replacement therapy laws upped the transitioning age from 18 to 21. Please speak for us.

Repost, now do your honors.

[dragonsblowingoutbirthdaycandles]

your life is not an optimization problem

[dragonsblowingoutbirthdaycandles]

as in you'll never achieve the perfect daily routine, sleep schedule, coping mechanisms, mannerisms, fashion sense etc. even after years and years of healing and improvement and self-discovery. you will never be so good at life that you manage to utilize every waking moment. its great to be productive and all but sometimes you'll suck ass. sometimes you'll take eight hours to be done with a twenty minute job. you'll prioritize the wrong thing. you'll sleep for 12 hrs just to avoid being awake. you'll relapse. and you'll relapse again. you'll forget to turn in the assignment. you'll order too little food. life is far too large and complex for you to even experience it completely, much less try to make sense of and control it. you can't. please give up on that and be at peace with the hours you lose. they are not separate from your life.

[tricky-bastard-pokemon]

ok so

everyone knows about this meme, right?

but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!

This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.

She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:

He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Look how happy she was to hear that!!!

anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.

[tasmanianstripes]

For these who don’t know: The restaurant she worked at closed down but she left before that and opened her own bakery, that’s apparently very successful!

She has a youtube channel where she shares recipes and cooking advice!

Lately, we have been posting some exciting queer stories, and the response has been massive! You made it clear that you needed to hear some good queer news to balance out all the chaos in the media. So we are making a space for these stories!

Starting in May, we are going to release a compiled list of good queer news for our patrons on the 20th of every month!

We will still be sharing the stories individually on social media when we find them, but the compiled lists will be for paid patrons only.

Join our Patreon to access the monthly list of good queer news!

Justin Chin — Making Queer History

Chin’s work also resists treating identity as stable or coherent; instead, it presents it as unevenly acquired and structurally constrained,

Born in 1969 in Malaysia and raised in Singapore, Justin Chin came of age before establishing himself in San Francisco in the 1990s as a poet, essayist, and performer. Over the course of his career — cut short in 2015 following a stroke linked to complications from AIDS — he developed a body of work that persistently examined how the languages surrounding sexuality, race, and identity are produced and circulated through culture. These vocabularies, rather than emerging organically, appear in his writing as learned systems that are absorbed, repeated, and often imposed in ways that obscure their underlying power. Chin’s work also resists treating identity as stable or coherent; instead, it presents it as unevenly acquired and structurally constrained, frequently at odds with lived experience. Across his poetry, essays, and hybrid prose — both published and performed — he refused both simplification and the pressures of respectability that often shape how minority subjects are expected to appear.

Apparently today is Loving Day, named after Richard and Milford Loving, the interracial couple whose lawsuit against the state of Virginia resulted in interracial marriage becoming legal in the United States. And so this day was made as a holiday for interracial relationships. I think that's very cool and deserves a tumblr post. Happy Loving Day to everyone in interracial relationships!

Knot Body

By Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch

Bringing together poetry, essay, and letters to “lovers, friends and in-betweens,” Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch confronts the ways capitalism, fatphobia, ableism, transness, and racializations affect people with chronic pain, illness, and disability. knot body explores what it means to discover the limits of your body, and contends with what those limitations bring up in the world we live in.

Trans Rules of Engagement - INTO

We are all flawed, traumatized humans at the end of their rope.

[headedoutleft]

Principles

1. We are all flawed, traumatized humans at the end of their rope. Many of our actions say more about the conditions we live under than who we are as people.

2. No one is disposable. No one is unsalvageable.

3. Life holds greater value than being right or comfortable. Hurt is preferable to death.

4. No one should be deprived of community.

5. Harm does not require further harm. Punishment does not equate protection or healing.

Can you please take a moment to think about all of the eggs who died before they got to crack into chicks? Just a brief moment for me, I think they deserve that

[dorkydoggogirl-blog]

These are the ones I think of for Transgender Day of Remembrance. All the ones that never made it there. The ones that never cracked and died not knowing. I keep on wondering how many desperate and confused teen suicides could've been explained. We'll never know for sure, but we know they're there.

And for the ones where they did know, but it wasn't good enough. Children with parents and teachers that use the correct pronouns have 40% reduced suicidality. That's all it takes. Getting access to HRT seems to also cut suicidality by about 40%. So many of us don't make it, while they wait in queues or fail to convince those around them for basic understanding.

So I light a candle for them. Every year. And while know most of them won't even get to have their real names remembered, I will mourn them for who they truly were. Whether they ever got to acknowledge it themselves or have it acknowledged by anyone around them. I know you. I will remember you. I will mourn the women that never got to really live.

20+ powerful historic images of queer & feminist resistance

A newly released archive of vintage photos offers an intimate look into the radical queer activism of 1980s and '90s New York.

The collection, Arresting Images presented by Fugitive Materials, includes over 150 images by photographer, queer social documentarian, and street activist Dona Ann McAdams. The photos give us a rare, up-close view of queer liberation uprisings, ACT UP protests, pro-choice activism, and other elements of everyday queer and feminist life during this period in NYC.
