every time i talk about eugenics abortion being bad, people assume i want to legally ban or restrict abortion of disabled fetuses, instead of noticing that sex-selective abortion is a similar issue with similar solutions that have nothing to do with legal anything.

disability activists generally want the following things, in order to reduce eugenics abortion:

- no more pressuring pregnant people to abort disabled fetuses or shaming them for choosing to carry the pregnancy to term (in case you’re wondering, doctors absolutely do this) - no more pressuring disabled and/or mentally ill pregnant people to have abortions or shaming them for choosing to stay pregnant (doctors do this too) - no more devaluing disabled people’s lives in pro choice rhetoric, such as by bringing up disabled fetuses as an argument or “gotcha” when arguing with people who think all abortion should be illegal - active valorization of disabled people and involving us in the leadership of pro-choice organizations - pro-choice organizations addressing the prevalence of doctors and society pressuring people into eugenics abortions - pro-choice organizations actively challenging and critiquing ableism in their movements, historically and currently - establishment of better support systems for disabled parents and parents with disabled children - better health care and better access to it

disabled people who criticize the eugenics abortion are not your enemies. we don’t want to force or pressure anyone to stay pregnant or to terminate. please acknowledge that it’s frankly terrifying for us when a fellow pro choice person directly defends the ethics of eugenics abortion to us.

LanguageGuesser - Discover languages, discover music!

LanguageGuesser is a game where you have to recognize the languages in random music videos.

Language Guesser is a game where you get music videos from YouTube and you try to guess the language they’re in! Good for learning more about different languages and potentially encountering some great new songs.

Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations.

yes this

most of the criticism i’ve seen of pf so far ultimately come back to this

is it an alright platform with a good community? yes. does it have a lot of potential? yes. does it have a lot of problems still being worked out? yes.  are the staff open and responsive? absolutely. do i recommend it? yes, if you’re willing to live in a house while it’s being built.

but it’s not a ready-made replacement for tumblr.  set your expectations accordingly.

[digitaldiscipline]

this echoes @lauraannegilman‘s recent post over there. 

[lauraannegilman]

I merely rebageled the post wherein someone else made these points well, but yes to all of it. Pf isn’t Tumblr. The makers looked to Tumblr for inspiration but they also clearly looked long and hard at other forums, most obviously Livejournal, and tried to cherry-pick what worked in building healthy communities and communication.

Imagine a world where medical diagnostics specialists and disability services assessors were advocates instead of gatekeepers. Imagine their target being to make sure nobody who needs help slips through the cracks and doesn’t get it, rather than to make sure nobody who’s trying to “scam the system” slips through the cracks and does.

Most of my posts are gone already. If you have enjoyed my work so far, you can still follow me:

On Instagram @placedeladentelleblog

On Twitter @EugenieGallien

On Facebook

And most importantly, on my blog

This is very depressing. I have been building this tumblr for 5 years (6?), I have nearly 60k followers, it’s my main source of traffic for my blog and now it’s all gone because apparently lingerie is too scandalous for Tumblr. I am livid, I lost so much.

[placedeladentelle]

I got my archive back! Still going to back up this Tumblr on my Twitter just in case, who knows where we’re heading?

WordPress will also import Tumblr blogs.

EDIT: Okay, as it turns out I actually have Feels about this.

“What’s your name?” “I’ve never had one.”

Not only is this objectively the funniest line in the entire thing, but it also speaks to something deeper. Like, every bit guy who was in one scene gets a name. But not her, the ostensible star of the commercial. She exists only to feed her Hungry Guys. Her name is “Babe, we need more Totinos!”

That actually says… kinda a lot about heteronormativity and marketing.

[gynoidgearhead]

They did two previous ones of these and, no, she never did have a name.

Love this sooooo much. It works on so many levels. SNL needs more of this kind of satire and commentary.

Things I love about this:

1) Explicitly bi woman played by bi actress gets lady love interest, and it’s played as adorable and a little hilarious and not weird and not titillating.  

2) There are zero white people in this scene and it’s so normal on this show I almost missed that fact. (The other actor in this scene is Terry Crews)

3) All sapphics are useless around pretty women: confirmed

4) Gina Rodriguez is in a hoodie and a t-shirt and some comfy jeans and cute ankle boots.  Zero hyper sexualization/male gaze.  Still confirmed as gorgeous and sexy.

5) Color Me Badd is playing, which is legitimately what plays in my head when *I* see a pretty girl, so thank you for hitting my demographic super hard, show.
