this moment will be frozen in time!

"What about you? Aftershave and a haircut. That all for me?" gay sex would fix them actually.

tumblr: constantly be aware of your own privilege. constantly be aware of your capacity of be evil. hey i know you really like that new piece of media but make sure you're aware of all of the problematic elements all the time. hey i noticed you reblogged a post from a designated Bad Person so please make sure you do a thorough background check on everyone you reblog from to make sure they're not bad, otherwise people might get the wrong idea about you. always be aware of everything bad that's happening in the world all the time because silence is violence. i see you not reblogging this post btw. activist burnout is a privilege so be aware of that. xyz people are required to reblog this post. if you're not constantly fighting against designated Bad People you are inherently complicit and therefore a Bad Person.

[ID: two posts on Mastodon.social by @ mhoye

first post: I think it’s important to repeat: “you don’t have something to hide” when you put blinds up on your windows or close the door when you’re on the can or wear clothes.

Privacy isn’t about having something to hide. It’s not about keeping secrets. It’s about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for it is “dignity”. Your inherent dignity as a human being.

second post: Everyone who’s ever said “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” is somebody trying to bully you into giving them the power to strip you of your dignity at a moment’s notice.

On a whim, whenever it’s convenient for them.

That’s the fight. It’s not about privacy, it’s not about secrets, and it never was. It’s about power. end ID]

From Ursula Vernon: Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat.

I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

In other words:

we are so back

early episodes of Buffy are like "high school sucks, you should be at the club" and then they go to the club and something tries to kill them

I'm so mad that genshin impact is like that because every time i think of just about everyone involved with kaehnri'ah i nearly throw up

-the abyss twin who has undoubtably seen so much shit it's unreal and misses their sibling so much but can't leave now

-Dainslief who has been at it for 500 years, is immesurably tired, watched everyone in his country get turned into monsters, watched his comrades slowly degrade, whose brothers are traitors, and whose old friend leads the abyss

-Kaeya who got dropped off in an unfamiliar country, got told that he's their only hope and then got abandoned!! And that's before all the drama with his adoptive family

-CALIBERT who was like 10 and got turned into a monster and then his dad used him to make the loom of fate. Who manipulated people's memories to include him after 500 years of just silently haunting, and they loved him so much that they reported him missing en masse because he's supposed to be there and he's not

-capitano oh fuck

-Vedrfolnir my love my Cassandra

doomed by the narrative but not to death. doomed to survive. doomed to stay alive inside the story. doomed to never escape the narrative, not even through death. you are allowed no exit. there is no way out for you and there never was. you couldn’t die if you wanted to. the narrative has a hold on you and it won’t let go. death is too sweet a doom for you. the story has something much worse in mind. there is no way out.

all politics about ai aside if you use it to create fanwork you're just a fucking dweeb

not to show my jock colors on this my nerd blog but the whole fucking point is that it's for love of the game. sweat over it or get the fuck out. i'm no gatekeeper but if you're using ai you're not even playing. you're trying to pave over the baseball diamond and make it a parking lot.

Update to this post- Sinners had the best opening weekend for an original film in over a decade.

Also part of the reason it's success is being undersold is likely because Coogler made an unprecented deal with Warner Bros. where he gets ownership of the movie back after 25 years so the execs are panicking.

Coogler stay winning.

Crutches poses

Video description:

Tik TokVideo. A song plays in the background.

Starts off with a pale person using forearm crutches and wearing black alt clothing moving slightly away from the camera until they get into frame. Text reads, "Interesting pose references with crutches!"

Each pose is stanfding, and held for a couple of seconds.

The first pose is the person and leaning to our right, legs somewhat apart and crutches even wider apart.

The second pose is the person holding their feet similar to 4th position in ballet, with one leg in front of the other and the feet pointing different directions forming somewhat of a square. Their crutches are wide apart and their hands have all the fingers visible while on the crutch [handle? words hard].

The third pose is a thoughtful pose. The person is leaning on one crutch to our left, with their feet crossed. They are staring at their raised hand like they're inspecting their wrist or nails.

The fourth pose is an contrapposto pose, with their legs wide apart to the side and their crutches wide apart with one in the front and one in the back, forming somewhat of a 'diamond' of points on the floor.

The fifth pose is similarly contrapposto, with their legs wide apart to the sides. They are holding the crutch to the left, and balancing the crutch to the right on their shoulder while their hand is in a pose that looks like it's using magic.

The sixth pose is the person leaning forward on their crutches in a very 'floppy' way. The elbow to our right is resting on the crutch, and the other elbow is loosely holding the crutch, which looks like it could fall.

The seventh pose is a contrapposto with the legs similar to the fourth pose, but this time both their arms (and therefore crutches) are facing towards the camera and providing support in front of the person.

The eighth pose has the person with their legs in a wide stance, and leaning on one of their crutches with their elbow quite casually.

The ninth pose has the person leaning entirely towards one side, with their weight entirely on one crutch--almost like someone leaning against the wall, but on their crutch instead.

The tenth pose has the person standing, with one crutch as support and the other arm and crutch held directly towards the camera, like the crutch will touch the viewer soon.

Then the person has a caption "kay gonna go pass out" on the screen as they sit down.

Someday I think we will be able to talk about the hypervisability of non binary people afab without blaming them for it or calling them slurs over it. Why is hypervisibility something that happens to you when it comes to trans women, but for non binaries afab, it's seen as something they did to themselves. why are non binary people always "taking up too much space" in the community.

Are they really? Or is it, when we take a step back, actually non binary people afab getting a huge spotlight on them, and that's why there seems to be so many. Why is it seen as a "privilege" when in all other cases, it's not.

hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one

Folks in the UK, could we have some trusted links to charities?

There's Mermaids which is always a great option, and then Scotland-specific there's LGBT Youth Scotland, to give you just a couple. There will absolutely be more that other people can suggest though!

switchboard.lgbt and akt.org.uk are two i regularly support, and there’s always stonewall !

trans aid cymru is a mutual aid group rather than a charity but ill always shout them out for wales specific trans community support! they have a donation page here

Scottish Trans Alliance do good work, and more locally to me and also locally to the evil billionaire funding so much of this (we are deeply uneasy neighbours I live in constant fear of seeing her) and also Parliament, Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh do a lot of community work. Resistance is everywhere, both national and local, official and grassroots, and if you have no money spare to donate then you can donate time, if you have neither you can - you Must - reach out to even just one trans person near you, because community starts with smiling at your neighbours, knowing names, noticing if they're struggling. I survived thanks to one queer person I never knew the name of and spoke barely one sentence to taking 10 minutes out of their day to drop off an LGBTQ youth centre flier for me back in 2016. It starts small. It moves mountains. We are not budging an inch. I love you.

i hate the part of depression that’s like all the things that bring me joy are empty and i can’t do anything. like come on bitch i know you love book can you just be happy about book :/

People are like “it’s so beautiful no clouds at all” it could use a little clouds if I had to be honest.

it literally could use a little clouds if i had to be honest

Regular reminder that mocking, demonizing, insulting characters based on their physical appearances and facial differences has incredibly harmful and tangible effects on people in real life. 

Fictional characters won’t see your posts, but real people with facial and other visible differences will see it. 

Knock it off.
