hey, i made a thing for Transgender Day of Remembrance---if you're in a good enough place mentally, maybe check it out

IN MEMORIUM - TDoR 2023 on Scratch (mit.edu)

details are in the project description, but obviously, TW: murder, suicide, violence, transphobia

additional notes:

the project is currently unfinished, but it WILL be finished eventually.

it was... both emotionally taxing and cathartic to make, and my hope is that it will be in some ways cathartic for anyone who wishes to mourn those transpeople who died or were killed in the last year. however, the target audience is people who aren't yet aware of the scale of the violence against trans people.

yo, my friend brings up some good points here.

don't get me wrong i absolutely love the fact that people are pushing back on mojang and microsoft over the mob vote. i am overjoyed at the trend lately of widespread action from userbases to push back on companies making decisions that screw over their users for the sake of money (twitter, reddit, unity, etc). but let's not miss the bigger picture here.

the mob vote situation and others like it are microcosms of capitalism as a whole; people are upset because they've noticed that entities with enough resources to provide whatever they want to are providing only the illusion of choice, and never actually offering---let alone giving---people that which they actually want/need.

petition and boycott, both of which are being employed by people opposing the mob vote, are mechanisms of political change. the unified mobilisation of the community is akin to unionising.

so just,,, remind people: if they think boycotting the mob vote is a good thing to do, they should also support labor movements and anti-capitalist political groups.

because they're the same thing.

one is but a smaller, more digestible version of the other.

oops

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!
