YOU MUST BE WILD. individuals under the cut!

After a wonderful visit to the aquarium, Nova was even more excited about the dinosaur themed burger restaurant we visited for lunch!

She didn't eat her own burger until we got home, though.

Nova the velociraptor and my nameless Jellycat seal came to the aquarium at Loch Lomond in October 2025!

I love bringing Nova to places like this, she always has such a perfect expression of excitement and wonder (or sometimes a cheeky BITE! No eating the sharks, Nova!)

My seal got soaked by the rain travelling on the outside of my backpack lol oops, but he had a nice time as well, 'swimming' and hanging out with a ray friend!

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 rest of society 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.
