Homestuck is cringe though. Why are we philosophising about whether it is or not or whether it "counts as queer media". "Oh there's lesbians kissing!" Okay there's and? That's a low bar to clear...

Yeah, this is why we need to be having discussions about transmisogynoir and general antiblackness within the lgbt spaces online cause what do you MEAN you couldn't think of a comparable situation when Black bloggers are literally being shadowbanned and sniped left right, and center? Do you know how many Black trans women have been harassed off of tumblr? Just during the summer of 2020 alone? I'm not about to waste time talking over things that have already been said but like, again, what the fuck is wrong with yall???????

Getting a letter in the mail that says “I hope a piano falls on you like in looney tunes” and I start wailing and ripping my hair out then put a RETURN TO SENDER stamp on the letter and hand it to a procession of fully armed military operatives <- this is making fun of the tumblr ceo who banned a trans woman upset about her prolonged untreated harassment and said he would call the fbi on her because she made a post wishing he’d get hit with hammers

"Bisan flying a kite today ♥️ The Palestinian smile is resistance to the colonizers and their inhumane occupation. Palestine will be free."

from Wear The Peace, 19/Feb/2024:

ID: a photo of Bisan Owda, a woman with light brown skin and tied back curly dark brown hair, wearing a grey and white sweatshirt and blue jeans, smiling as she flies a kite in the colors of the Palestinian flag against a blue sky. end ID

They'll threaten to call the FBI on a trans woman for saying she hopes the CEO of this site dies in a looney tunes car hammer explosion but they won't even terminate the blog of the person who was proven to be a pro-contact pedophile running a forum website for other pro-contact pedophiles to congregate with children who self identified as "adult attracted minors." Which they were advertising on this website. Okay.

tumblr CEO photomatt demonstrating the ancient tumblr tradition of making a self congratulatory callout post framing a vulnerable trans woman as a violent offender and yourself the victim by completely making shit up and exaggerating completely harmless comments you call "proof" into a fiction of real world violence, refuses to give any kind of concrete explicit evidence when called into question just demands to trust me bro, I mean he even makes a claim to innocence by virtue of proximity to other queers, absolutely fucking textbook, this website is a deathspiral a fucking tar pit

i think it's worth remembering that there has been a multi month long ongoing harassment campaign against various transfems on this website by now, with tumblr moderation doing barely anything about it (except banning some of us), but they're currently able to find every single post vaguely mean to matt and suspend them within an hour with no reports.

staff hard at work on all cylinders to find anything that could even vaguel resemble a threat to matt

he banned my gf for commenting on his photos to tell him his flowers are shit, he's fucking petty.

"banned for sexual content and threats of violence". if you saw even half the sexual content your advertisers push on us, or a fraction of the harassment on this website from people who want us dead, you'd fucking wish a car made of exploding hammers would come your way.

Literally cannot stop thinking about how the numbers we are seeing of those killed in Gaza are strictly reflective of the bodies that had made it to a hospital.

Thousands are still missing; many are trapped under the rubble, some bodies were never retrieved from the streets where Israeli snipers are positioned, some bodies have been eaten by animals to the point of being unrecognised, and others have been buried in mass graves or school yards without being identified.

The numbers you are seeing (25,000+ as of January 24, 2024) are unfortunately specifically of those who had their bodies arrive at a functioning hospital in Gaza in a condition well enough to be identified. 

There is a weird segment of people who love to make it very clear they are "against the actions of the Israeli government", like every other sentence they make it a point that this is about "the Israeli government" which is boring but also ignorant because it pretends as if everything that is happening is only the Israeli government’s fault. 

As if it was the Israeli government who marched out of settlements and set children and families on fire. 

As if it was the Israeli government who is protesting at the Gaza border trying to prevent aid trucks from entering.

As if it was the Israeli government that burnt thousand year old olive trees and shot the people harvesting them in the chest. 

As if it was the Israeli government that went into the Ibrahimi Mosque at dawn and committed a massacre killing 28 worshippers. 

As if it was the Israeli government who went out with lawn chairs to sit on hilltops to watch and cheer as bombs dropped on Gaza.

As if it was the Israeli government posting TikToks mocking and celebrating Palestinian deaths.

There is a reason they are so eager to pose their opposition to be “against the Israeli government” because they need to pretend that it is only the "current Israeli government" at fault in order to maintain the illusion that Israel isn’t a genocidal entity to its core.
