people saying that being trans is a white only thing is very strange to me because i remember when i was a kid people acted like it was pretty much only black people and thai people who were trans. obvsiouly both of those things are based in racism and transmisogyny but the rapid shift is strange
I had to bring these out of the tags because the last 2 tags especially!!!! ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
please please please be aware that if you and your friends get addicted to saying YIPPEEE like fortnite und cola yippee it will have an intoxicating effect and you might accidentally say it in a really important business meeting to a bunch of men you don't know
A new political plan to end the war in Gaza: The US special envoy announced the launch of the second phase of the plan to end the war in Gaza, which includes a transition from a ceasefire to disarmament, interim administration, and reconstruction. The 20-point plan is being led by a US and international team. Al Jazeera
It seems life will become easier. I congratulate myself and my family on this resilience, and also you who are reading this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping the people of Gaza so much. I wish I could repay you This is beautiful
But we are still stuck in Gaza and the situation is extremely difficult. I hope, I really hope you can send me a donation, even if it's just 5 euros. I'm sure the crossing will open in the next few days. Please donate so I can get out .safe shore I feel a little warm. I'm happy
Help my friend Ibrahim, we want to get him across the border if possible!!
Something so disgusting about how the original Haitian zombie folklore is "the zombies are victims of a sorcerer who exploits them as slaves" and then modern zombie media is "the zombies just appear from an infection that turns Real People into a rampaging horde serving no other purpose than to threaten Civilization" like.
The Haitian zombie is very clearly metaphorical for the very real horrors of slavery, while the viral zombie is fundamentally about "what if there was a type of guy it was completely okay to kill and you got to exist in a survivalist fantasy as a Badass, also when infrastructure collapses it's every man for himself and altruism goes away"
And isn't it super interesting to think about that in the context of historical US-Haiti relations?
Also there's many of them and they spread and become innumerable hordes who invade your town but also you can kill hundreds of them because they're individually weak and stupid
A completely disorganized horde of weak, uncoordinated, literally feral humans that a Real Badass can take out by the thousands, but they somehow overwhelm all the regular people and cause the collapse of society. It's up to the Great Men to fix the problem. This totally isn't a fascist fever dream.
Any resemblance to real Fangamer employees is purely coincidental.
I hope the Knight works at Fangamer gag ages well when their identity is revealed. This was going to be a comics compilation with 2 other strips, but this one got long and I wanted it in time for Holiday. This was meant to be last in that compilation, so enjoy some gags that progress backwards when the others come out. These comics were inspired by the Ralsei plush sitting on my desk. It fell over and was just too far for me to really bother uprighting it, so he's been flashing gooch at me for months. I knew I learned 3D modeling for a good reason (ignoring the terrible topology)
I was originally gonna draw the Lego Incident out fully, but the juice didn't feel worth the squeeze, so here are some disorganized doodles of it.
This ended up much longer than expected. Originally meant to precede this comic. Don't put pants on your Toriel plush (or do). Here are some bonus sketches.
you can never go back. this is your one life. you had a bad childhood and that's it. you lost your teen years to mental illness and that's it. you're miserable in your 20s and that's it. you just go forward
Gaycation - “USA”
Star! :D
We need to prioritize Black, American Indian, and Latina trans women in the sex trade in our anti-violence/anti-oppression work. If what we’re doing to address violence and discrimination against trans people doesn’t directly address the needs of these women, then we are not helping those experiencing the most harm.
ok so everything is falling apart and my brain is on fire but i REALLY like this new patreon piece so like. go check that out (and all my other art, its all free if you just follow me over there, and theres new shit every thursday) or if youre not on patreon, enjoy the link preview because its a good one this week:
can we please acknowledge that tma/tme is a meaningful distinction? a justice of the US supreme court is openly saying that it's legal to discriminate against trans women because the same laws do not target trans men. the transmisogyny is what makes it permissible. your transphobia is fine as long as it has carveouts for men.
Haven't seen anyone talking about it here, but vocal transfeminist and writer Tara Knight has been sent a threat from the fbi insisting that she stop speaking about "radical gender ideology" and get rid of the past 3 years of her work.
A black trans woman is getting personally threatened by the fbi for being a transfeminist. What the fuck. Hopefully this gets more reach than my usual posts so that people who are able to can support her.
Here’s her latest post about it.
[Transcript: So as you all have likely heard I was forwarded a letter from the FBI informing me that my work and my platform and everything I’ve built over the past three years has to go, um, for propagating what they are calling ‘radical gender ideology’. Um, this comes from Trump Executive order, um basically saying I’m a propagandist for domestic… september eleventh… thing. Um, I would… I— I’ll just say, point blank, short period. I have no intentions of stopping anything. Maybe to my detriment but I’ve never been the smartest one. That’s— all I’m gonna say on this.]
Just as I was writing that transcript she posted this—
[Transcript: So I was told and informed that it’s probably in my best interest to tell all of you where you can find me in the event that I get deleted because having a platform is probably the only thing that will keep… everything okay, if you will. So I will provide the links and ads to my TikTok, my Substack, my Bluesky, the like. You’ll be able to find me there in the event… y’know. Y’know.]

^ just putting this here along with the transcripts, please support her if you can
Tumblr removed the linked materials. Never stop sharing about Tara Knight.
Tumblr has started banning and suppressing my articles and work. This is really scary for me.
now more than ever we need to make sure tara's work is spread so her voice can never be drowned out or forgotten.
I can clearly remember the moment I first realised my mother and I were living on completely different planes of existence. I was 7 years old and I came home from my school's first track and field day having placed second or third in every event. the teachers had been making jokes all afternoon about how many times they had to call my name. my friends thought I was cool as shit. my enemies thought I was cool as shit too, come to think of it. I was proud as hell. so I get home with the entire front of my shirt covered in ribbons like I was a military dictator who'd awarded himself every medal, I walk into the kitchen and tell my mum all about my day, and she goes "oh, that must be disappointing not getting any firsts." and I'm like no?? first of all the first place ribbons are red and I don't like red. second of all look at me. there's literally nowhere left on my body for accolades. I am fucking Jacked of All Trades. how could this possibly be a disappointment.
