Mother’s Day passed in many parts of the world, and people celebrated all over. However, over Mother’s Day weekend Hamza’s family’s fundraiser was taken down by gofundme. They now have to start from square one all over again.

Hamza has several young nieces who are all suffering from malnutrition. Please, if you have the means, donate to their family. It would mean a lot to them.

This is transmisogyny. You are knowingly portraying trans women as irrational here. This phenomenon is not a thing— people headcanon male characters as transmasc ALL the fucking time, and no one cares. I’ve seen top surgery scars edited onto just about every dude from any media ever. You know good and goddamn well that you are able to headcanon men as trans men without pushback from trans women. The PROBLEM is when a character is clearly transFEM coded, and y’all try to downplay that to push your transmasc head canons.

"After they overheard that ICE was at the courthouse to arrest someone, they improperly accessed court databases to determine who was not born in the United States," a DOJ detention filing says. "They then snuck every suspected illegal alien who was at the courthouse out a back door, where ICE, who was waiting in the parking lot for their target to leave the building, could not see them."

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

Imagine trying to make the argument "I don’t think independent artists should be held responsible for market trends they have no control over nor should they be obligated to sacrifice their source of income for the sake of maintaining moral superiority" in defense of selling merchandise with AI generated images within these same communities. you would get laughed out of the room and then blacklisted by all of your peers. Because not capitulating to market trends and taking a moral stance about what kind of art you feel comfortable producing and selling is totally an option here, and something that happens all the time. It just seems it's much easier to have a sense of ethics when it comes to things that infringe on their interests, rather than their customers'.

Also you are simply wrong that these people are not part of the same market,independent artists do not exist in a bubble they are not in fact isolated and insular. This is just blatantly false and ignoring that independent artists in artist alleys are actively still competing with other vendors at conventions. (Which become more and more mainstream every year) which will continue to stock blind boxes even if you somehow manage to shame all independent artists out of doing so.

The “external pressure” is what sells and what doesn’t. The same “pressure” that dictates what other sort of products these artists sell and exactly what content they depict in what they sell. (There’s been a BIG influx of star and heart shaped badges the past few years because those SELL)

And no I won’t imagine doing that because ai and what product an independent artist chooses to sell are simply not comparable and I’m not going to entertain such a bad faith comparison.

The deciding factor isn’t “blind boxes or gacha” the deciding factor is what actively sells and attracts customers like it or not customers are more attracted to blind boxes and gacha and many will choose that over the artist who doesn’t offer it.

This spiny-backed orb weaver crop top came to me in a dream and I had to make her real. Approximately 6474847 errors were made in the cropping and painting of this shirt. I am okay with it.
