The Sleepy Serpent

Genuinely surprised to see this from Jamie p and super glad as well. I feel like it's become such a pattern of seeing white queer creators casually say some racist shit or something to come out and then never properly apologize.

So seeing Jamie Paige be outright "No fuck y'all stupid racist white teens, she'd rather stop making music catering to you than let you make a fool of her art" is incredibly refreshing and makes me glad that to be a fan of hers and feel both seen and comfortably safe knowing that for once someone has the decency not to be a racist piece of shit!

Also go listen to Slayr right now! I remember hearing a couple of his songs before, and liking all of them, and this one is no different. Honestly I hope we get to see more hip-hop sampling and remixes of vocaloid music because its so so cool and wish it was done more often.

A bit more self explanatory, but I'm glad he's confident to state it for the people in the back that Vocaloid isn't just a white people thing. It's a bit bittersweet to me in a sense that a lot of black creators online feel the need to hide themselves, but I definitely understand (I'm guilty of this sometime too the way Tumblr acts sometimes) but I'm glad to see that people are being more openly anti racist for once and I hope this trend doesn't stop.

Also I know it's already his most popular song, but it is such a banger too, go listen to this and the rest of his vocaloid music too!

Piss on the fucking poor ass website. You people are half of the problem don't act like you give a shit. Actually fuck you, you should feel guilty. The fact you feel guilt at all probably says something about you should examine about yourself before you come onto my blog and hide behind anon to be a piece of shit. Nobody asked you to "put yourself through sensory hell" you sound so fucking entitled and racist as hell no matter how you try to spin this type of rhetoric. You act like its a sacrifice on your end for every white person to listen to music created by black people. You could've kept your damn mouth shut and you would have been more helpful and anti-racist than sending me this bullshit.

HEY! One more important addition to this whole chain of events. Can people please reblog this version?

This should go for everyone who supports black artist and black artist themselves especially the most. The end goal of these racist piece of shits is to silence you. they don't want you to speak up, they don't want you to keep making art that opposes their shit ass racist beliefs. Keep making art and don't let them stop you either. Don't let them tarnish the things you put out into the world and support each other to make sure nobody is left behind to deal with idiots like this.

They win when you stay quiet, so no matter what don't let them keep you quiet.

1. canonically female (no variation)

2. canonically the protagonist of her story (if it’s an ensemble cast you have to say you can legitimately see her as The main character)

3. your personal #1 favorite character in that story (ties are acceptable)

Green sea turtles have been an iconic endangered species since the 1980s, mostly due to bycatch in fishing nets and taking adults and eggs for food. I have core childhood memories of watching Steve Irwin talk about sea turtle conservation in front of a beach full of nesting green sea turtles.

After 45 years of conservation efforts, their population now meets the IUCN criteria for Least Concern rather than Endangered.

For a species with such a slow life history (it takes green sea turtles decades to reach sexual maturity) and a nearly global population, this is a Really Big Deal. This is the kind of long term conservation victory that many of the amazing humans who started working on green sea turtle conservation back in the 80s didn't live to see.
