thought this would be good to share.

[this-is-trans-joy]

everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

“transgender men dont need a new label to describe their oppression! there is one already. its called transphobia”

omg so true bestie we should keep pushing the narrative that “man” is the default state of being. im super transfeminist btw.

[transmasc-theory]

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or is he so afraid of being assaulted in men's spaces if he is outed that he will use women's spaces?

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or is he asking you not to erase his lived experience?

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or has he been scared by all the posts mocking male transition results into thinking he'll be a laughingstock if he starts balding?

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or has he seen masculine people be treated as inherently predatory so often that he holds this back to be seen as a person?

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or is he trying to avoid being treated the way you treat masculine people?

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or is his childhood still influencing how he conducts himself?

Does that trans man actually "want to be seen as a woman" or is he speaking about misogyny he has experienced?

My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic. (A typeset is shorthand in fic binding circles for a fanfic that has been formatted/designed and paginated like a book, to be printed out.)

You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright or cream colored paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.

Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.

You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.

Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.

Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)

If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.

hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.

There are a lot of fake Wigglypaint sites and apps and a lot of them have stolen art in their galleries!

The program is originally from itch.io. The owners of these fake sites stole work from the artists who posted their wigglypaint drawings on itch.io so they could have something in their community galleries to lure people into thinking they were legit.

I've been talking to artists whose work was stolen here on tumblr and on instagram and everywhere else and absolutely no one whose art was taken from itch ever gave permission for their art to be used by any of these fake sites.

Wigglypaint.com: Art theft. Jigglypaint app / Jigglypaint.com: Art theft. Wiggly-paint.com: Art theft. Wigglypaint.run: Art theft. Wigglypaint.fun: Art theft. Wigglypaint.online: Art theft.

And so on.

Even Wigglypaint.net, which doesn't steal art directly, uses AI-generated images to advertise their subscription plan ($49usd/year) while blocking comments that mention the username of the original creator of Wigglypaint in the social area.

All these sites are trying to get artist's money for a free art program.

Wigglypaint is always free on itch.io from the original creator, or you can use free 16-color modded versions like WigglyPaintPlus. (Or mod the program yourself! You don't even need to know how to code.)

But please, please don't give money to art thieves, AI bros and scammers.

The writeup about all of these sites can be found here.

If you think you might be an affected artist you can search for your itch.io display name in this spreadsheet. It may load slowly, there are more than 2000 instances of art theft in there.

whoever made the story for this game hated kids so much

[campyvillain]

would you believe me if i told you the story of this game put the possibility of death and dying and terminal illness in my head as a kid. i was 4. the dread i felt for this game cannot be replicated

[campyvillain]

i just barely remember what this game was about because i was 4 but basically you’re a dog and you live on an island and your dog family has a dog sister. or brother. i don’t remember. your dog sibling falls ill with a terminal illness or it is heavily implied that it will be fatal. there is a scene where the ill dog sibling tries to go to a party and they collapse and the audience is led to believe that they died. they do not die but are bedridden. your dog father tries to find a cure overseas but goes missing and is pretty much as close to “confirmed dead” as you can get in an e for everyone title. then you try to find a cure overseas and your boat gets separated and you get lost at sea. you do not die and end up on another island. a doctor is there. from that point i do not remember anything about the game other than giraffes try to attack you or something . i had to stop playing because this game made me So upset i was afraid to touch it. the game looks like this

[puffydove]

If you’d kept playing you would’ve been so much more traumatized than you already were, it does not get less intense. Allow me to tell you about some of the other fucked up plot points/subplots:

You don’t just get separated from your boat, no, it’s MUCH more upsetting than that. There’s a storm, and the captain says you won’t be able to make it to the island. The idea of returning home without a cure is so unbearable to you that you jump overboard and try to swim there. You almost drown, but a bird you nursed back to health earlier in the game alerts a resident of the island, who saves your life.

The town’s water supply gets poisoned at one point and everyone gets sick but you. You have to find a healer in the woods because even the town doctor can’t help

A nurse dog on the island is afraid of the color red and is mercilessly bullied by a group of dogs in her town. You have to help her get over this fear. It originated from a traumatic event in her childhood where she thought she killed her best friend.

The doctor who helps your sick sibling also has a traumatic past. His fiancé got terminally ill and because he argued with another doctor on the best treatment, she died. He visits her grave often.

The miracle cure (a flower) you’re searching for to save your sibling? When you find it, it’s wilted. If you can’t find a way to restore it, you know your sibling will almost certainly die.

Also the literal apocalypse has been building up for the entire duration of the story, and you have to literally travel to an alternate dimension to consult the queen of a mythical race on how to save the world

To get a magic stone that will help you save the world, you have to fight a giant dinosaur skeleton referred to as the “Ancient Monster” and it is heavily implied that it fought your father at some point, and may have even killed him. Yes this is still the same game

Yeah but that game was really something. There are pirates. There are poisonous snakes. All of the enemies have the ability to kill you. The soundtrack is phenomenal. You have a magical sidekick named Petasi. One of the game’s central themes is the importance of kindness. I tried to play it on my own once and got killed by a gorilla while trying to find grapes.

I know a lot of the folks who follow me here are white. I know that statistically, white people are more likely to listen to other white people as voices of authority when it comes to race — especially if they do not know where to begin when it comes to anti-racist practices.

So, I'm gonna be brutally honest with you other white folks — You have to care about Black men. You have to care about Brown men. You have to care about Native and Indigenous men. You have to care about Asian men and that means all Asian men, not just East Asian men.

If you are white it is imperative to EVERY kind of anti-racist belief and action that you vocally care about men who are not white.

Lift up, support, and platform the voices of non-white women who are discussing misogyny in their communities, BUT — this is also imperative to remember — those conversations are not for you to add your voice to. Especially if you don't engage with non-white people, communities, or culture in literally any other context. It's straight up just not your space and that's okay. Sit with that. Please.
