People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

“Holy shit two cakes,” I mutter to myself as I do fucking anything these days, this post was a godsend
matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao
from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.
This is important, people. Please don't scroll past this one.
While I don't think that Tumblr is about to shut down anytime soon, as a fandom old who lost my community and my people when the fandom diaspora happened from LiveJournal, I want to urge that you do something NOW:
I mean this with all my heart. Get this done now. Get set up and find your people now. Tumblr is the home of fandom now, just as LiveJournal was the home of fandom way back. And you could end up losing your fandom home just as easily and quickly as us old LJ people did way back then.
It's a horrible feeling, and most old LJ users still mourn the loss of it to this day.
The rest of this gets a bit long, so it needs to go behind a cut, but please take a moment out of your scrolling to read it.
happy pride everyone

Are you okay?
who are you to accuse me
[ID: A three page digital comic featuring Jimmy, Curly, and Anya from Mouthwashing. Jimmy is colored in solid green, Curly is white, and Anya is blue.
Jimmy leans on a table, shaking and holding his stomach.
Jimmy: Oh my god. (doubles over, still gripping the table) OH MY GOD. Curly, sitting on the sofa: You okay? Jimmy, laying over the back of the sofa, bent at the waist: I am in so much pain. Curly: Maybe talk to Anya?
Jimmy sits across from Anya at her desk, looking desperate. She is smiling, unbothered.
Jimmy: I'm in so much pain and I don't know why. Help. I thought it was my appendix but I already got that taken out YEARS ago. (holds his stomach again, all caps) I can feel it in my fucking legs.... Anya: That sounds odd! I can give you painkillers, but if that doesn't work, there's not much else I can do. Jimmy: Okayyyy....
Jimmy takes the painkillers with a "thanks...." before starting to leave. Anya watches him walk out the door before lifting two fingers to her head and pointing her other hand at him, grinning with red eyes. "Period Cramp Beam" is written by her arm. Jimmy hunches over, hugging his stomach again with a groan. end ID]

this was so relaxing and fun to draw <3 wistful sigh <3 killing him badly <3
[ID: A followup comic showing Jimmy holding his stomach and smiling tiredly as Anya walks by. Jimmy says "Oh, I think it finally cleared up." He then kneels, doubled over, groaning, as Anya poses on her toes, firing another cramp beam at him. end ID]

killing him again
[ID: Another followup comic showing Jimmy leaning on the couch, holding his leg with his free hand before sliding down to clutch his legs, in severe pain. Curly is peeking over the back of the couch at him.
Jimmy: (all caps) Oh god it's in my legs again. Curly: Again? And Anya can't help? Jimmy: (all caps) If she can, she's refusing to.

"The creative team considers how the personality of each character translates into facial expressions, body language, props, and home environment. The Mane Six -- Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie -- each have expressions and style characteristics that are unique to that character, as well as general expressions that they all share. According to the DHX Media team, 'There are certainly characters that would make different expressions, like you might do something with Pinkie Pie that you would never do with Applejack or Twilight or Rarity. So we don't have something that's specific for just one character, but we avoid certain expressions if it goes outside their personalities.'"

happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!
no offense but popipopi popipo. popipopi popipo. popipopi popipo. popipopi popipo. popipopi popipo. popipopi popipo. popipopi popipo. E
this trans day of visibility, i want to highlight and celebrate intersex trans people.
society ignores intersex trans people and tries to erase this overlap. and also ignores complex intersex experiences around gender. society denies our intersexuality, or our transness, or both. even in queer circles we are often seen as "basically cis" or "basically trans" or "intersex aka own separate species that can have nothing in common with other queer people."
intersex trans people are often denied gender affirming care. intersex trans people get their bodily autonomy attacked both as intersex and trans. even in trans accepting circles like gender clinics, we often face ignorance and incompetence.
people feel entitled to know and question our anatomy, physiology, transition goals, identities — everything about us.
our bodies belong to us. our identities belong to us. our experiences belong to us.
we deserve bodily autonomy. we deserve representation. we deserve recognition. we deserve celebration. we deserve pride.
intersex trans people, i love you.
