vigilante bouncing on it when

jordan - 28 - he/they - minors not welcome - if you inconvenience my scrolling by being a shithead ill probably block you - ask me about my growing orv charm collection and obsession with bob reynolds

[soppingwetguywife]

new pinned bc im procrastinating

jordan - jay - newt - gunch / 21+ (i probably wont remember to update this for a while so who knows i might be 30 by the time i remember it exists) / he/they, it/its if youre cool and if i say you can use it

transmasc genderfluid system, panromantic and somewhere dubious on the grey-ace spectrum, white "australian", disabled

i believe in a free palestine, landback to all indigenous stewards across the world (but focusing mainly on First Nations politics as i live in so-called australia), as well as freedom for ukraine, sudan, iran, and... well, the list continues to grow, but i am anti-war and anti-american imperialism even more so

transandrophobia is a real thing, trans infighting is truly the most embarrassing thing you can be doing as world governments try to eliminate our rights, we do not need to argue over who has it worse when all of us are being oppressed

speaking of which, i love all of my queer brethren, as well as intersex people, disabled people and neurodivergent people! we are stronger together! i am trying to stop rbing negativity as much this year, but i am not perfect, so take my opinions and tags with a grain of salt

as im an adult, id prefer kids dont follow me, 18 and over is great but 21 and over is preferred, ill likely rb mature content because art should be admired, especially the human form

i dont really have a dni anymore because its not like itll stop you but i block liberally so if you get blocked dont, like. freak out i guess

idk i dont have more to say now have a good one

[transramblings]

Actually I'm not done talking about Elliot Page. You know that tweet that's going around that goes like "I always thought he was a terrible actor and hoped he would get better after transitioning but he is still bad" and people are touting it like it's peak ally behavior and I really don't get how they can't see how it's blatently an excuse to shit on him but woke? He's not a bad actor. He's never been. Even if you thought so before, how would you judge the difference? He's been in two badly reviewed seasons of the umbrella academy and five minutes of the odyssey, because transitioning just so happens to be bad for your career? Moot point bc he is not and people are just foaming at the mouth to be cruel to him without being accused of transphobia and it's clear as day.

aw mannnn

[napoleononthebellerophon]

the amount of lawsuits these exploited children are going to be filing 20 years from now is going to be crazy and im all for it

[nedlittle]

if i were a respected british actor with any principles at all i would simply not agree to a project whose earnings will have material consequences for trans people but maybe i'm built differently

So scary to like a mutual's post because what if they remember they hate me and then shoot me with a gun

[redstonedust]

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[melanqueerly]

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

[phinarei]

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

Because Tumblr is very English speaking and some ppl like France a little too much I just want to remind you of a few things:

- France abolished the Code Noir 2 months ago. That law project that said hey you can enslave, mutilate, kill, cross breed, etc. black people at will bc they're not people they're property ? Yeah. Abolished 2 months ago. We are in July 2026.

- the last human zoo closed its doors in 1994 in France due to social pressure. Not bc they were running out of business, no. Ppl still visited that place until it closed its doors. No, it was bc (black) French people were fed up. That human zoo was specialized in displaying black (presumed Congolese) people in fake huts in enclosures, for white entertainment.

- now while this might no longer be the case, when I was growing up, I went to a French school (as in. It was an international French School w the French flag n all) and the way we were taught French geography was that France has the biggest and largest access to the sea in the world. And they'd show us a map of France and its colonies around the world. It's all occupied indigenous lands. I don't know if they still teach that. I hope not. But they absolutely did until I graduated high school in 2017. Again, I write this on July 21st 2026, for the record.

Anyways that's all I have for now. Y'all don't hate France enough. Y'all need to hate France more.

France overturns law classing people as property – 178 years after it abolished slavery

National assembly votes to repeal Code Noir under which enslaved people were beaten, raped and killed

Bamboula's Village - Wikipedia

OP, I hope you don’t mind if I add some sources. I assumed that the ‘zoo’ would be a hangover from colonial times, but it actually opened in the same year it was closed- 1994. According to the wiki article, the ‘performers’ were Ivorians under the purview of cote’d ivoire while I’m France, and the whole thing was meant to drum up tourism to the country. They were paid below minimum wage. There’s no word on what happened to them, only that they were ‘ordered out of the country.’ The manager also stole their passports to prevent ‘illegal immigration’.

@creekfiend was very kind in sharing some writing resources with me, and I thought I'd pass along the kindness by listing them down below.

N.K. Jemisin's article 'Describing characters of color in writing'

Mary Anne Mohanraj's article on approaching characters of colour

Renee Harleston's article How to 'Write Characters of Color Without Using Stereotypes'

Working with Colour, a resource site for writers

the book Writing the Other by by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, which had a description that cut deep, because I've definitely fallen into this trap out of fear:

and then a video recommended by @sheprd (thank you!) about pitfalls in descriptive language

if anyone else has more resources to add, feel free to reblog with them! this is something I want to learn more about.

[pangur-and-grim]

I was talking yesterday about how I should probably change the skin colour of a character in a not-yet-written book, because that character is a large, aggressive dragon-shifter and I was worried about her being read with unintentional and offensive subtext.

I haven't gotten my hands on Writing the Other yet (it's still in the mail!) but from reading my way through these articles and watching the Princess Weekes video, I now understand that 'white-ifying' a character you're worried about is a lazy and cowardly solution. so, if I do ever finish the book Eres loses Everything, I'll keep her as is, do my best to be thoughtful, and hire a sensitivity reader to pick out any blind spots.

thank you to everyone who passed on resources, I really appreciate it!

[pangur-and-grim]

here are a few more resources I've found, if anyone’s interested:

Hungry trans girls' only bedsheet is falling apart, and rent has taken all our money!

[Image ID: a torn blue fitted bedsheet on top a bed with white mattress cover visible underneath, showcasing 1 of several large tears of the sheet. End ID]

Hi again. My wife and I are as yall know a trans girl couple, disabled and unemployed, struggling to get employment and just lost the bit of help we'd been getting. Now that rent has gone and emptied our bank account, we have no money for food and our only bed sheet has decided this is the perfect time to rip up. We tried sewing it and new holes have just formed instead, and I don't think it will survive the next wash. If you can contribute to helping us replace it and to helping us Eat!! We would appreciate it 🩷

A decent bed sheet seems to be going for around $75 and we could use around $100 for groceries, if you can spare even a few bucks it'd help a lot
