thats not a “zine” that is an “art book” and you are scaring the hoes (discouraging people from zinemaking by associating it with hefty sleek professionalism instead of extremely diy no resources low cost artistic communication) by mixing up these words

its beyond fucking sad like. tumblr as a site. as a function. is great. it arguably still holds a pre-internet 3.0 concept up and keeps it alive (blogs as a community tool). It functions completely uniquely from other social media. parts that haven't been eroded away by idiot companies playing hot potato are still great (i can still look through all of my posts with my archive tool, or make a new blog theme entirely).

All that had to be done was Not Dip Their Toes into the Transphobic Pool. Which isn't a hard request. It's literally just "respect the people that want to be trans and be happy and tell people that are slinging harassment at them to Fuck off".

Sure, they also need to not let the site erode more and more into this ugly little amalgam of a barely functioning ad-ridden Twitter wannabe that requires at least 2 different mobile add-ons to even function properly. But like. I'd happily support them monetarily if they weren't the most cartoonishly Scummy site.

Like I'm still on twitter and it's a cesspool. But there at least it's funny that "Cis" is considered a word that Musk wants censored for "Spreading hate speech".

Here I have to confront the fact, every few days, that whoever moderates the site will happily either Delete Trans/POC blogs without hesitation, or, if we wanna be generous, nobody moderating the site Gives a Shit and just lets Transphobe/racist hategroups run rampant on the report system.

And don't fucking forget what happened to Avery/Rita! I don't want to spread word about her without her approval, but I will say, people have no fucking clue how bad things got for her after what happened, and the fact that she's put up such a strong face when she was literally in the "Public's" Eye as a Trans Woman the CEO of a website stalked and harassed even after he personally demanded all of her blogs be Permanently erased, is beyond the pale of what should be asked for her, or any trans or poc person.

I don't know why i'm "lucky" enough that, even though i have a respectable amount of followers, i rarely have to deal with "issues" or hate. maybe it's because i grew up on forums, and have learned that the best way top deal with Shitheads is to just block them ASAP. but i've been on this site since 2011, and it's the reason i have my girlfriend, and all my current friends that i want to meet one day. And the fact that it's eroding in probably the worst way possible, for such an easily fixable and specifically targeted reason, drives me insane.

It doesn't have to be this way! Staff literally just has to Actually Give a Shit about its Trans and POC bloggers! We like it here even though people make it hard to!

no one probably cares but as wii u and 3ds modding (especially wii u) is my area of expertise (haha weird silly obsessions go brrrrrr) im gonna add some stuff here. 1. this is *not* time sensitive as far as im concerned. for wii u both dnspresso and the traditional web browser exploit DO NOT require nintendo's servers, only a working internet connection, which you will still have even after the servers shut down. the servers are shutting down, not the wifi module in your console (contrary to popular belief). iirc to mod a new 3ds you just need to do a camera exploit, which similarly shouldnt require nintendo's official servers. can't remember about old 3ds tho. 2. there ARE custom servers in the making!!! https://pretendo.network have been working on reviving the nintendo network servers for years now, and for the next few months they'll need as much support as they can get because the real servers will no longer be alive to reverse engineer from. it's for both wii u and 3ds. 3. modding does *not* impose any risks on your console, as long as you follow these specific written guides sent by the lovely op. video guides can be outdated with new developments in the homebrew scene and so it often causes problems for people doing tech support (such as myself) when the whole issue was an outdated file linked in the description. these written guides are regularly updated. trust me, im a disaster and i didnt brick either of my consoles. also, modding != piracy!! modding enables piracy but theres a flourishing modding community outside of piracy too :] 4. stop reading my stupid reblog and go mod your consoles (after youve bought an sd card or 2 that is - preferably go for 128gb formatted as fat32 - use guiformat for this)!!!! ill add more stuff if i remember but thats it for now

ive been seeing a new wave of transmedicalists lately I think we gotta start being vocal again about how nasty they are. you don't need to take hormones or have surgery to be a trans person. changing your name and pronouns is gender affirming care. wearing new clothes and hair and makeup is part of transitioning too. you dont need to pass to be trans, you don't need to be male or female.

nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, genderqueer people are trans too if that's a label they want to use for themselves. and anyone who says otherwise is a piece of shit. it's not "anti-transitioning" to say so, it's anti-telling other people what to do with their bodies. it's pro-minding your own fucking business and letting people do what they want with their gender and treating them with compassion and enthusiasm
