The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

Minors are not property.

Adults should not be allowed to control minor's basic health, like eating meals when hungry, stopping eating when full, drinking when thirsty, using the restroom, etc.

Adults should not be allowed to deny minors healthcare. This includes mental health. This includes letting trans & gender diverse minors have access to their desired puberty.

Adults should not be allowed to force/coerce intersex minors into having unwanted HRT, genital mutilation, reproductive mutilation, breast mutilation, etc.

Adults should not be allowed to force/coerce minors with bodily differences (ie; polydactyl, craniofacial differences, etc) to have unnecessary medical procedures to "fix" it.

Adults should not be allowed to mutilate minors' genitals for the sake of "cultural practices" and puritanism.

Adults should not be allowed to isolate minors from society.

Adults should not be allowed to deny education to minors when a topic makes them "uncomfortable." This includes teaching minors about queerness, sexism, race & racism, disabilities & ableism, paraphilias & paramisia, sex, reproduction, etc, etc.

Minors. Are. Not. Property.

Participatory performance, custom neon, welcome mats

Nicholas Galanin

Tlingit/Unangax, born 1979

Seattle Art Museum Commission

Artist's statement:

Neon American Anthem is a participatory installation designed to activate the American Art galleries at the Seattle Art Museum. The work offers visitors a place to kneel and follow the directive of a neon sign on the wall that reads, "I've composed a new American national anthem: take a knee and scream until you can't breathe." The work creates an intersectional space for catharsis; to mourn the loss of lives, freedoms, and safety for people and lands subjected to American violence, and to protest continuing oppression.

The neon sign embodies capitalism, its text a pointed reference to the murders of Eric Garner, George Floyd, Tyre Nichols and all people of color who have been murdered at the hands of police and agents of the American state. Asking participants to take a knee is a position of deference turned refusal; to scream until you can't breathe encompasses protest aimed at tearing down the systems built to enforce Whiteness, White privilege, heteropatriarchy and capitalist control. / end]

nothing is more tumblr than having a tumblr sexyman wiki and then warn you to not find some of those men sexy because it's problematic

[abyssalaquarist00]

pick up that non-fiction book

[abyssalaquarist00]

not all of us can live in fantasy 100% the time like i see some people on here do and it's refreshing to learn something new. its been philosophy, essays, and history for me and i feel much more at home on planet Earth for it knowing that people have been struggling and wishing similarly for millenia.

its not that fiction doesnt have its place, its important and healthy to exercise the imagination, but non-fiction can do so much to boost and supplement that. if not for yourself, for your art or for the people you're around

[abyssalaquarist00]

"representation matters!" but you wont read or engage with non-fiction works about any demographic outside your own

[abyssalaquarist00]

this version of the post doesnt seem to be getting much traction but this is arguably the most important reason why we should be reading nonfiction in addition to fiction

[afincf-tirwer]

Something I don’t think I’ll ever be over, is how Yao and Ilyukhina died for nothing, and yet at the same time, *didn’t.*

Because they both volunteered to board the Project Hail Mary to search for a solution to astrophage, they were both willing to die in order to give the rest of humanity a fighting chance of making it.

And they both died before ever even seeing Tau Ceti.

And it feels so unfair, because they went all that way for nothing, they died without even getting to try and save the people they were going for.

So they died for nothing.

Except they DIDN’T.

Because their deaths saved Grace, and in turn, saved Rocky and Erid. Without the surplus coma slurry, Grace wouldn’t have been able to go back and take Rocky home, and Erid would have had a much harder time with astrophage.

This isn’t particularly coherent, but I can’t stop thinking about these two people who were willing to die for their world, died before getting the chance to fight for their species survival, and yet their deaths meant the sole survivor of their crew could save both their home, and another.

There’s just something so devastating about that to me.

i talk about empathy, but i have also hurt people.

i talk about personal growth, but sometimes i repeat the same patterns.

i talk about healing, but sometimes i keep living in the past.

i give positive messages, but sometimes i’m the one who needs them.

i talk about love, but i still carry pain in my heart.

i talk about having a positive mindset, but there are days when everything consumes me.
