We Are Well Beyond Canary In The Coalmine Warning Levels With The Way Trans People And Particularly Trans

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.

Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.

Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.

And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.

How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.

I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

I haven't posted in a bit. I've been too excited for an upcoming con to post lol

But I did give 'drawing a Kobold' a chance. That went like this:

This is Mamimi, my white Kobold girl. She's the party bard who speaks very cryptic but also quite poetic words. She uses her bardic exterior to sway out information from people but is currently following orders from her Master (I'd say if I wanted to spoil) [Some of them use Tumblr and could find me on accident lol]

She has got quite a few little details that fall more in line with her true identity, but I'll say that when/if they find out ;)

When I was walking down the street after a long night of (insert cool/ relatable thing here), I was approached by some (target demographic). They asked me how could I, a (insert adjective) (insert age) year old have so much time for (insert cool/ relatable thing).

I told them, its because I run my own business. I also tell them I make 2,500 dollars a month, mind you.

They gasp at my entrepreneurship. "2,500$?! You're pulling our leg."

It's the truth, I tell them, I gain nothing from lying.

"What's your business called then?" They ask,thinking they've cornered me.

I proudly proclaim to the street: I WORK AS AN ENTREPRENEUR UNDER (insert scam name here)

All of them laughed in my face as they walked away. Luckily, my best friend, the streetlight, was watching the whole time. He put a hand on my shoulder and told me:

"If you wanna shitpost, don't make it this long."

I was stunned, so I asked him, "What do you me

Yugioh, I doth inflicted upon you

"Hey Sunny, you like Yu-Gi-Oh, right?"

"Haha yeah I do, why?"

"Do you have a favorite character?"

U H

..Maybe?

They really are! I could tell reading out Odile's lines helped Sunny enjoy her character even more

Okay so I gotta screech about something for a moment

I beat ISAT (In Stars and Time) just the other day- FANTASTIC game!! Good god it is the best game I've played in ages. Please, if you like RPGs, time loops, amazing characters and puns, give this game a shot!! (Though do read the warnings of course, like with any game)

But there is one character in particular I'm typing about today (Do not get me wrong, I adore ALL of the characters! I quite literally do not dislike a single one!)

[Putting a Keep Reading thing so that I won't clutter people's boards]

☆ ODILE! ☆

I love her so, so much- Like, my friends could tell you, I would smile and giggle and have a wonderful time whenever another golden line from her would cross my screen. Writing? Fantastic. I have so many screenshots of her and interactions she has with the party,,

And I'mma be entirely honest! She's really pretty to me, I would love to give her a kiss if she let me!! She's funny, smug, sweet- What is there not to like with her for me? I can't entirely show too much without showing spoilers, so I'll keep it short for now.

But my god, have you SEEN her low-hp sprite?

WHAT A WOMAN!!!

(❁´◡`❁) As soon as I'm not a coward, I would love to learn how to draw her,,,

People love to pretend Ai is a neutral ground when it comes to art. "Ewwww! Artists cost money! We don't have the ability to pay them, so we'll just generate it!" I'm not afraid of saying any human art is better than any ai generated image because it has soul! Had this exchange blurred his name because even if he was a dick and kept calling me kiddo (reddit behavior) I am not after his head.

He wants to white knight for ai so whatever at the end of the day. He's just a fool who doesn't know what it means to be an artist, but this entire kicking up of sand got the creator to make a pinned comment here:

Seriously, I know art isn't easy, but giving up and just generating it is quitting. The towel is thrown in before the game starts.

An artist friend told me that in order to get better, you have to try. Pick up a pencil, a stylist, anything! You can do it if you put your mind to it, and while I'm still not where I wanna be, I encourage everyone to try.

I've never wanted to draw out of pettiness before, but I'm not going to draw it because artists aren't free, and they shouldn't need to be for people to consider commissioning them
