That wasn't very cash money of you, Tumblr.

imo the way you feel about groups it's fully socially acceptable to hate (like children or polyamorous people, among others) is the canary in the coal mine for underlying bigoted beliefs. if you're only supportive of marginalized groups when it's cool to do so, probably you don't actually care about marginalized groups, you care about other people thinking you care

like the social justice version of 'are they nice to the waiter'

i really need "villagers from minecraft are antisemetic caricatures" to become a popular enough sentiment for them to finally change their designs somehow

It seems that the Tumblr team has no other purpose than to delete, close, and attack the accounts of transgender people and Palestinians trying to survive genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Two days ago, I was shocked to find that my blog, abdalsalam2000, had been deleted without warning and without me having done anything wrong, simply because I was asking for help from the Tumblr community. That blog was our only source of income that kept us alive in Gaza, and unfortunately, it was deleted by Tumblr employees.

In Gaza, we need at least $300 a day just to survive. After Tumblr deleted our account, this blog is all I have left. I hope you will help me by sharing this post, donating, and following this blog. Please, please help us and donate now.

Please help Nader regain his followers and the momentum he had before his previous blog was deleted. Please donate to him now and follow his blog.

Friends, please donate now! Your help is our only hope for survival. Please share this post widely and donate here now, please!

every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...

I understand that people do this because it's easier to write but I honestly think we need to stop saying "amab" and "afab" and start writing them out in full more often. better yet, bring back the c. "coercively assigned male at birth" and "coercively assigned female at birth". people have gotten way too comfortable latching onto the m or f and using them as shorthand for "male" and "female" even though the point of these terms has always been to highlight that sex is something that you are assigned at birth and coerced into performing. it's not a neutral observation about a baby's genitalia, it's an active assignment that is forced upon you against your will the moment you're born, before you're even capable of understanding the words being used to make that assignment

i'm still losing my mind over this, that is EXACTLY what the weed store in Splatoon would sound like.
