I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

🏳️‍⚧️ TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY 🏳️‍⚧️

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN

[chloebangbang]

I do typically find myself taking a fairly moderate position with regards to things like transphobic moderation decisions. Not in that I don't think these corporations are often evil, but that the evil is a lot more banal than folks seem to recognize. A company will not usually have a raging transphobe on moderation going out of their way to ban trans women, but trans women are more likely to get reported due to harassment campaigns and general transmisogyny, and those reports are more likely to have action taken on them due to unexamined biases on the part of the moderation. That is, of course, still Very Bad, but its the usual type of bad, not a grand evil conspiracy, but the normal, banal type of evil, that of corporate bureaucracy and internet culture largely endemic to every online platform.

But. Like. At some point, after the CEO of this website admitted that there was, indeed, Tiffany Tumbles the Tumbling TERF taking out hits on trans women, and then going off site to harass a woman that got banned off of his website. After dozens of transfems were banned in the span of minutes, with the stated reason of their ban being "we may ban users for any reason, or no reason at all." Like at some point I stop being able to provide a nuanced and grounded opinion here, right? Like at some point the signs are pointing to "some employee or CEO or someone else in a position of moderation wanted to ban a lot of trans women and thought they could get away with it", yeah? Like. What am I even supposed to say here? I feel like "any reason, or no reason at all" really says more than I ever could. Like come on, at least try to come up with an excuse here

thank god they already undid the update because every single user yelled at them

[transjudas]

reminder that staff has said they don’t pay attention to feedback on posts and the best way to tell them how you feel about this upcoming notes update is by sending feedback at tumblr.com/support!

[catgirlnipples]

I got an autoreply. Basically they don't read any feedback anywhere then? Because thats the only thing that could explain why they thought this would be a good idea.

[transhuman-priestess]

I did not get that as an autoreply. I got this

even if theyre not monitoring feedback they'll see their inbox fill up

[transjudas]

the thing with so many companies is that it really does seem like they will make providing feedback/asking for support as complicated an confusing as possible. i do think it’s important to keep emailing (and also replying to their original post linked in the first part of this post)! whether they listen or not, they will not be able to say we didn’t tell them we are unhappy with this decision.

i do think there is something funny about how adults who write fanfiction or fanworks for media made for kids or teens are seen as losers when the actually adults who work on said shows are usually low key in their 50s.

"imagine being 26 and writing Danganronpa fanfiction" well kodaka was 32 when he made trigger happy havoc I don't think there's an age limit on making edgy murder ocs.

Hi Anne I don’t know if you remember but a while back I had asked you if you knew about the current operations of Gaza Soup Kitchen. I just wanted to report that I got an email from them last week or so saying that they’re still operational in Gaza and have been making hot meals for iftar this Ramadan. They included some photographs in the email, so from what I can tell they are still on the ground providing help!

That's awesome. Thank you for the update! I appreciate it. Everyone, please consider donating to Gaza Soup Kitchen as well and set your donation to be on recurring basis!

so. not to doxx myself (i've talked about this here before though) but i live in Kansas. and my license was just revoked very suddenly and immediately because i'm trans and had changed my gender marker.

so now i cannot legally drive or vote until/unless i let them force me to carry around a card that misgenders me and outs me as trans, because i certainly don't look female anymore.

[xochihuacoyotl]

so hey if you have the means and want to help with any of this, please consider donating to the ACLU of Kansas because they are at least going to try to do something to push back against this, and i'm such a panicky wreck that the only thing i can do to get through my immediate gut reaction to having my license revoked tonight (i cannot stress enough that i received the letter today saying that my license is no longer valid tomorrow) is focus on the fact that there's at least one entity trying to protect me and my fellow trans kansans.

Support the ACLU of Kansas Foundation

i've seen many of you on my dash reblog fundraisers and campaigns from palestinians, especially those that have been vetted and verified. it's a massive help for those families. but today i want to talk about the person behind the verification: mohammed ayesh @moxayesh who has done the legwork to make sure these campaigns are legit.

unfortunately his own campaign is struggling. as many of you may know, mohammed has recently gotten married! he and his wife farah are trying their best to start a new life with a fresh start. their campaign goal is $10k, of which they currently have $3211. you can donate to them on chuffed here.

i also want to mention mohammed's little brother, yaser @yaseergaza. yaser is hard of hearing and has a cochlear implant. however due to the situation in gaza, he often struggles to keep his cochlear implant charged, and he has also had to discontinue his speech therapy sessions. he is trying to raise funds so that he can continue looking after his health, and currently has $695 out of a total goal of $10k. you can donate to him on chuffed here.

mohammed has done so much for so many families in gaza. i do not want his own needs to be sidelined. if you can donate anything, please do. and even if you cannot, please do share this post so that it reaches someone who can help. thank you.
