Variety Hour

It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable (unless that is an error, thanks tumblr)

Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!

Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!

I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.

The original post was pardoned, but the shadowban still persisted and every reblog was hidden from the dash and flagged explicit. I'm not sure if it recovered by now, or if it's always going to be at risk of banning.

So whatever staff reviewed my complaint agreed that it wasn't explicit. So thank you for that, moderator. This highlights that the problem starts with bad actors reporting anything they don't like, and that it's a tossup if your appeal is seen by a bot, a normal human, or a bigot.

I'm grateful I can still touch people and spread positivity. Many of my queer siblings, brothers, and sisters - especially trans sisters - can't say the same.

But no matter what happens, we will always have each other. Every letter in our alphabet is a pillar holding up a beautiful world that only stands if we're all in it together. The world may call you a monster, but it calls me one too. Maybe you won't hear it from the rest of them, but listen and you will hear it from me.

I love you.

We got interviewed by the Round Table TTRPG Podcast. This was a great interview, great questions, and we got to talk a lot about game design as a skill with intent behind it, why Eureka is the way it is, challenge some deeply entrenched “wisdom” of TTRPGs in general, etc.. The host was super nice and I recommend you check him out not just for this interview but the numerous others on the same channel.

I can’t really list the questions here here like I sometimes do because what happened more is the conversation just sorta wandered from topic to topic, but rest assured it wasn’t just rehashing the same “How did you first get into TTRPGs?” questions.

Yeah I brought the phthalo siblings back together
