i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine

cool, whatever, further proof that the CIA fucking won because now every white suprematist with fucking holes for brains thinks they’re a goddamn revolutionary all because they crawled out of 4chan, let the shit fall from their mouth, and hit post.

Traditional Crane

So, uh. I locked in a bit too hard, on my day off from work (hence my fucked-up hair)...

...and folded my first origami model that uses tracing paper. Following in the success of my crane that I folded from a 1 cm square of mulberry paper earlier today, I folded yet another crane... but this time, it was made from a 0.5 cm square of tracing paper.

I had ICU ASMR playing in the background that entire time, since working on this thing under a light with two tweezers (for maximum precision), gloves (to prevent my fingertip sweat from warping the paper), and a mask (so I didn't accidentally breathe the model out of my grasp) made it genuinely feel like I was performing surgery on this model. It actually worked out a lot better than I could've ever guessed to get me fully immersed and invested into the project.

2 mg tablet of Estradiol for scale again, but I also included a single grain of white jasmine rice for additional emphasis on how small this model is. It's half the size of a grain of goddamn rice. This is now the SMALLEST origami model that I've ever folded in my entire life.

using terms like "lynching" and "social murder" to describe a living, breathing trans woman who got her account banned (which she promptly remade at least 5 fucking times) shouldn't be ignored. it needs to be ACTIVELY CALLED OUT. it needs to be THOROUGHLY UNDERSTOOD why this is unacceptable.

trans people of color matter more than your white feelings. it shouldn't be controversial to say that. and if you're in the USA making statements like this, shame on you too! ICE is knocking down the doors of POC left and right, detaining us, shooting us, and you dare compare the experience of POC to a white trans woman who got banned off a fucking social media site?

and before this is PURPOSEFULLY MISCONSTRUED, trans women of color have also been calling this out just to be ignored by their own communities. it's absolutely appalling. so no, this isn't attack on isff and her orbiters because she's a trans woman. this is an open, constructive criticism who use the suffering of POC as a fucking gotcha and a buzzword instead of acknowledging us and supporting us through the absolute harrowing reality we're living in right now.
