"Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

Submission 1/2 for @creatingblackcharacters 's Melanin Beam Challenge 2026 - Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier!!

Another favorite manga of mine became the Big Popular Fantasy Anime this year so it's a perfect series to demonstrate how Black characters can look in an anime/manga style as the protagonists!

Qifrey's an excellent teacher and extremely skilled witch, he's also full of Secrets and Mysteries that I will not spoil. He's been through so much and deserves this life he's built with the atelier.

The media blackout on Palestine coinciding with new bomb types dropped in a ceasefire tells its own story.

They want to dump trans men on their own the same way cis gays did to all trans people.

I refuse to have it. I refuse to turn on my trans brothers. I will shout it over and over from the roof tops that we need to stick together now more than ever. The discourse between fems and mascs is just about the most stupid shit you can possibly do under a fascist regime THAT WANTS YOU FUCKING DEAD.

Don't be a fucking idiot. Touch some grass. Testosterone is not some magical poison that turns you into an evil misogynist. Trans men have experiences with misogyny before they transition. Teansandrophobia is real. Trans men are real men. Testosterone should be free and handed out at your local pharmacy like napkins at McDonald's.

And the best part is that you too can believe all this and still be completely valid as a woman. Recognizing the rights of trans men to exist and be happy and support them in doing so does not invalidate my feminism nor my own identity.

So uhm I turned the vintage balloon ad clown girl into a souls game character. Sorry

so if i don’t pay up 1950 to my school before the 28th, i’ll get kicked from my classes. this is especially bad because i currently live on campus so if i get booted i’ll have nowhere to live. furthermore, i get paid via chap 35 benefits which require me being in class so ill also not get paid. so just really really bad

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

Bc what do you meen I opened YouTube bc it was the only way to open the video I needed and there's the ads for "HP girlies"? BE ASHAMED! YOU'RE SUPPORTING A WOMAN WHO'S THE FRIENDY WITH PEDOS AND RAPIST AND PUSHES HER BILLIONS YOU MAKE HER INTO FASCISM !??!!???!

Bc if you think it only will end with trans people or even with "just trans people in the UK", you're wrong. It never ends with just one category of "wrong people". And trans people, like everyone else deserve to have human rights that are both violated and their lives not made worse just bc of who they are which is NOT harming anyone

And also transphobia is deeply rooted with racism and makes the life of cis people, esp cis people of color awful too

Primer on the initiative from Philippine social movements:

The original signatories were Australia, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the UK and of course the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Silica

and then on the day of the show, my friend asks, "where is the camera I requested?"

gallerist: "you didn't request a camera"

my friend: "I did, and you confirmed that you would have one here."

gallerist: "that isn't true."

and then she proceeded to pull up the email thread, and my friend could see that every single email they had sent had been summarized by AI, and that the gallerist had then had AI write a response to them based on the AI summary, and that the AI had detected that they needed a camera, and confirmed on behalf of the gallerist that they would bring a camera, but because the gallerist had offloaded the work of actually reading and responding, she simply hadn't actually made any note of it herself, therefore didn't bring it, nor did she even know one was needed.
